Back Cover
Stone Hammond is the best tracker in Texas. He never comes home empty-handed. So when a wealthy railroad investor hires him
to find his abducted granddaughter, Stone eagerly accepts.
Charlotte Atherton, former headmistress of
Sullivan’s Academy for Exceptional Youths, will do anything to keep her charges
safe, especially the orphaned girl entrusted to her care. Charlotte promised Lily’s mother she’d keep
the girl away from her unscrupulous grandfather, and nothing will stop
Charlotte from fulfilling that pledge.
Not even the handsome bounty hunter with surprisingly honest eyes who
comes looking for them.
When Miss Atherton produces documentation that
shows her to be Lily’s legal guardian, Stone must re-evaluate everything he’s
been led to believe. Is she villain or
victim?
Then a new danger forces Charlotte to trust the man
sent to destroy her. Stone vows to
protect what he once sought to tear apart.
Besides, he’s ready to start a new pursuit: winning Charlotte’s heart.
Review
Having read all of Karen Witemeyer’s previous
novels, (most recent being Full Steam Ahead), I can safely say that she always delivers a good story. One of Karen’s key characteristics is that
her stories are typically full of humour and fun. A
Worthy Pursuit, however, took on a different tone. A tad more serious, and almost suspenseful,
it felt uniquely different from her previous works.
But…
The change of tone in no way affected the quality
of the story. Rather, it felt just a
natural extension of Karen’s writing style - something that I greatly
appreciated. Instead of falling into the
trap of writing stories that all sound the same and no variance in character
type, Karen has delivered a story that still has elements of wit and laughter,
but also a dose of intrigue and action (the runaway wagon scene and shootout was
fantastic!).
So, in diving into A Worthy Pursuit, you can be guaranteed an adventure, a sweet
romance, and enough suspense to keep you intrigued. A really good read!
