Adventures in Reading: The Heart's Pursuit by Robin Lee Hatcher

I don't know about you, but I tend to read more in the summer. There is just something about sitting out in the warm air and getting lost in a good book. Well, if you are looking for an easy, exciting, enthralling book for this summer, I just discovered a new (to me!) author that I really enjoy!

About the book:
Pictured on the cover, Silver Matlock is a young woman with a world turned upside down. Left at the alter, robbed of her family's wealth, she is determined to track down the person who smashed her life and heart. When she stumbles upon Jared Newman, a bounty hunter, the two are thrown together in their travels as each seeks justice in the West. Both with wounded hearts, Jared and Silver learn about each other on their journey and begin to trust again. They will need each other in order to face the villains of their past.

My thoughts:
This is a great summer read. Action, romance, bad guys, life lessons learned. It was a quick read for me and would be perfect for a pool side read. There are some slightly graphic details of crimes committed by the villains, gun fights, and a stabbing, but I personally felt like the details were beneficial to story and not overly gory in detail. I really enjoyed the journey of spiritual growth that happened when the main characters learned the difference between seeking justice and seeking revenge and that there is a fine line between the two.

Giveaway opportunity:
