The Heart's Pursuit by Robin Lee Hatcher (Review & Giveaway)


About the book: Bestselling author Robin Lee Hatcher has written another heart-stopping romance full of mystery and suspense.
  • A jilted bride desperate to save her family from ruin.
  • A bounty hunter seeking vengeance for a ravaged past.
  • An arduous trek toward justice---or redemption.
Silver Mattlock and Jared Newman know traveling together is a bad idea. Bad for Silver's already tarnished reputation in her small Colorado town. Bad for bounty hunter Jared's secret, single-minded mission for revenge. But Silver is determined to track down the rogue who left her at the altar and stole the last remnant of her father's fortune. And Jared's in a hurry to hunt down the murderer who destroyed his family---even if Silver is too distractingly beautiful for comfort.
  
My thoughts: This is a book you can pick up and have a relaxed read and yet still get that touch of sweet romance, bad guy and good guy adventure, rough travel over the desert and country side in search of the bad guys. You get to see a person's faith lived out in resisting temptation.

There is rescue of those in danger and a good twist in character revelation at the end.  It interests me how a young female character of bygone days puts her trust and life completely in the hands of a stranger who she has engaged in order to find the man who jilted her on her wedding day and who stole all her father's money. She has to learn how to cook - she can't even make coffee - while on the trail in this adventure. She camps on the hard ground, endures cold and rain. Robin Lee Hatcher did not disappoint in authoring this good read.

    I have not had the blessing of reading any of Robin's books as of yet. I have just recently started reading different genres. I usually read Amish fiction but lately I have been reading Historical fiction which I have greatly enjoyed. Thank you for this chance to win The Hearts Pursuit. ~ Blessings ~
