She may have been abandoned at the altar, but Silver is no damsel in distress. He may be from the South, but his scars have nothing to do with the War.
Somehow, author Robin Lee Hatcher manages to weave romance into The Heart's Pursuit, a suspenseful, wild west book. Jared is a man on a mission, and that doesn't include lugging along a woman... and eventually a young boy as well. I can't say that I blame him. As a bounty hunter with a personal vendetta, his is a dangerous life.
Saddle up for a wild ride as you accompany Jared and Silver to a stabbing, 3 shoot-outs, several saloons, and countless dusty miles on horseback from Colorado to Nevada and back. You'll meet good guys and bad guys, and along the way, the duet becomes a trio with the addition of orphaned Dean, a child facing the same demons that Jared is.
Robin manages to wrap it all up and put a bow on it, leaving the impression of a happily ever after in the end, so you're willing to overlook the occasional unlikely occurrence. This was a fun read, and I'll be on the lookout for her other works next time we're at the library.
Robin Lee Hatcher's latest novel, The Heart's Pursuit, is receiving critical praise: "The Old West lives again in this inspirational romantic adventure. . . . Themes of forgiveness, justice and mercy dominate the story and add to the characters' depth. Hatcher treats readers to a rich sensory experience—you can taste the desert dust and smell the smoke and stench of a crowded gambling hall." (Publishers Weekly)
Robin is celebrating the release of her novel by giving away a $200 "Romantic Weekend Getaway."
One winner will receive:
- A $200 Visa cash card (Get away for the weekend with that special someone!)
- The Heart's Pursuit by Robin Lee Hatcher
