Review of The Heart’s Pursuit | Enter to win a $200 “Romantic Weekend Getaway” from @RobinLeeHatcher.

About the book: 

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?

My review:  I enjoyed this story that felt more like a classic western than a typical romance.  There was a lot of adventure as Jared and Silver traveled many miles and kept running into unexpected events.  I loved Silver's determination to help her family; I really admire strong female characters.  I also really liked Jared, who was torn between doing the right thing or taking the easy way out.  I was pleasantly surprised by some unexpected twists.  I thought the romance was a bit thin as they didn't talk much or know that much about each other, but they were able to see who the other person was pretty clearly from all they went through, so it didn't feel like a complete stretch.  Forgiveness and choosing not to hate were important themes in the story. I would recommend this story if you like the Old West or romance.
