Silver Matlock is determined to hunt down her former fiancé
who left her at the alter and stole her parents' money. With
few leads to go on, she hires bounty hunter Jared Newman to
track him down. Stubbornly wanting to help, she insists on
traveling with him, and against his better judgment he
agrees. When supplies run low and and the duo face a
dangerous
enemy, Silver and Jared must learn to trust and forgive each
other to fight against the odds.
Robin Lee Hatcher has done a wonderful job creating a light
romance with a Western setting. THE HEART'S PURSUIT isn't
the typical Robin Lee Hatcher novel that usually takes place
in a small Western town, but readers will love following
Silver and Jared through the wilds of Colorado to the mining
towns of Nevada. The setting is clear and it's easy to
picture the dry desert, the harsh rain, and the busy cities.
Hatcher is a master at bringing the Wild West to life.
Silver is an engaging heroine. She's vulnerable and
innocent, yet stubborn, determined, and loyal. Silver is the
resilient lead readers love in a Western. Jared is rough
around the edges, gritty, and tough. He has secrets and is
on a dangerous mission, making him intriguing to read about.
The villain is chilling, but not unbelievably evil. Hatcher
has made him completely believable which makes him all the
more frightening.
The romance is light, but sweet and the storyline moves
along at a nice pace. The ending is expected, yet readers
wouldn't want a different one. THE HEART'S PURSUIT is a
Western that will take readers on a thrilling adventure.
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 Matlock 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.
The pair takes off over mountain and desert, past bleak
homesteads and raw mining towns, hot on the trail of the two
villains who took what wasn't theirs to take. Soon supplies
dwindle, secrets emerge, and suspicion leave Silver and
Jared at odds when they need each other most. To confront an
enemy deadlier than desert rattlesnakes and rocky cliffs,
Silver and Jared must learn to forgive and trust and face
the question they haven't dared voice: What happens next?
