The Heart’s Pursuit #review

The Heart’s Pursuit written by Robin Lee Hatcher (one of my personal favourite authors!) follows the story of Silver Matlock, a bride that was left at the altar and in financial ruin. She meets Jared Newman, a bounty hunter seeking revenge for his family.

They decide to travel together despite traveling together being bad for Silver’s tarnished reputation and Jared’s secret mission for revenge. But Silver is determined to track down the rogue who had not only left her at the altar but stole the last remnants of her father’s fortune. Jared is in a hurry to hunt down the murderer who destroyed his family but Silver is too distractingly beautiful for comfort.

The two take off over the mountains, past bleak homesteads and raw mining towns, hot on the trail of two villains who took what was not theirs to take. Soon supplies dwindle, secrets emerge and suspicion leaves Silver and Jared at odds when they really need each other the 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 have not dared to voice: What happens next?

I love novels set in the West during this time period – the cowboys, the farm life and the simplicity. Tie this in with the lack of law and a spirited young woman determined to regain what was stolen from her – you have a pretty fantastic book! Silver is an incredibly brave woman who goes against the norm in order to save her family after her fiance stole all their money. She teams up with a bounty hunter (which is completely unheard of!) and they set off to track down this man. I loved how their stories ended up intertwining together and how the story evolved.

Meant to Be Mine #review

Meant to Be Mine by Becky Wade follows the love story of Ty Porter and Celia Park. Ty has always been irresistible to Celia – she has loved him since high school. When their paths cross again after college she falls head over heels. This time, Ty seems to feel exactly the same way. Their whirlwind romance lands them at a street corner Las Vegas wedding chapel.

The next morning finds them waking up to marriage certificate and a dose of reality. Celia is ready to be Ty’s wife but Ty is not ready for that commitment. He is a professional bull rider, he lives on the road and he has long planned to settle down with his hometown girl he has known since childhood. They part ways but not on good terms and with a broken heart.

Five and a half years pass by. Celia has buried her dreams so that she can afford to raise her daughter. Ty has achieved all of his goals – or thought he had until he looks again into the eyes of the woman he could not forget and into the face of the child he never knew he had.

How much will Ty sacrifice to win back Celia’s trust and prove to her that their marriage can still become the love of a life time.

Meant to Be Mine had an incredible story line. You could feel the pain Celia felt when her heart was broken again by Ty. The years she sacrificed to ensure her daughter had everything she needed was heartbreaking even when you were frustrated with her for not sharing such important information with Ty. You almost want to reach out and shake her to tell her that it is not right. I loved how Ty did everything he can to make Celia trust him and win the trust of his daughter. Being a parent is one of the most important things a person can do and it was important to see them bond and grow their relationship.

I could not put this book down – I was just to curious to see how Celia and Ty’s relationship ended (no worries – I won’t spoil it for you!).
