The Heart's Pursuit was an interesting read which took twists and turns I wasn't expecting. That's always a fun change. As an avid reader I can often predict the plot development of a story and anytime I'm surprised or caught off guard by a certain turn of events I'm thrilled.
The plot is also unique. A young woman, Silver Matlock, is jilted at the alter. She hires a bounty hunter, Jared Newman, to find him merely to recover the family money and jewels which he pilfered away. Their journey is difficult and takes unexpected turns and Jared discovers information about a different criminal he is hunting for a very personal reason. You'll be quickly drawn into the lives of each character as they travel across the west both seeking justice for different crimes.
I thoroughly enjoyed the character development of Jared and Silver, the hero and heroine of this western story. Several books I've read recently have been lacking in the area of character development, but I can always count on Robin Lee Hatcher to provide interesting, imperfect individuals who grow in their personalities as well as their relationship to God.
I also love that her stories draw the reader to think more about God and His role in our lives, but she isn't preachy. Some author's write entire sermons. This isn't wrong, but I don't particularly enjoy reading a story I feel is preaching at me.
If you're looking for a good read this summer pick this one up. You won't be disappointed!
