Hey ya’ll! I guess it’s obvious that I haven’t been posting
this week. Know why? It’s tech week for Tarzan! In this show I get to walk
around on my knuckles and make ape noises. It’s very physically challenging but
super fun and I’m having a fantastic time. We open tomorrow night! WHOO!
So I’m going to
review The Heart’s Pursuit by Robin Lee Hatcher. I received this book through
BookLook Bloggers in exchange for my honest review.
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?
I liked this book. It was a Western, which I’ve only read a
few of, and it was pretty good. The characters were cool. I love the name
Silver. Silver herself was an opinionated woman with a strong desire to help
her family not go into poverty. She had some admirable qualities even if she could be stubborn at times. Jared was also
interesting. Imagine hunting for someone for years, and only having that on
your mind… With a mission for revenge he soon finds that some other things
might be more important. There was a good supporting cast as well, some
appearing for a chapter, others many more.They all played their part well, and some I may have liked to see more of.
The plot was pretty good. There were times I wish more would have happened concerning certain situations, but over all it turned out pretty good. There were some things involving saloons I wasn't a big fan of, but such is a novel. Overall it was pretty good. I wish there were a little more to the plot and characters, but it was satisfactory.
Mrs. Hatcher managed to write an intriguing Western that caused me to stay up a bit too late a couple of times. You can purchase the book on Amazon or many other places.
