Karen Witemeyer is an author who quickly became a favorite of mine with her multidimensional characters and charming storylines. If I had to choose a favorite from her books, there would be several at the top of the list. Among those books would be A Worthy Pursuit.
Charlotte is a former headmistress who is willing to do what she has to to protect the children in her care, especially Lily. Lilly's grandfather will do anything to get her back, including hiring the best bounty hunter in the state of Texas: Stone Hammond. Stone soon finds out that what he thinks he's looking for is not
what he discovers.
Karen Witemeyer amazes me with her storylines each time. She creates characters that are believable and relatable to the reader. Her characters are so deep and multidimensional, it's easy for the reader to get snagged by the story. I know this is the goal of every writer, however few manage to do it as well as Karen Witemeyer.
A Worthy Pursuit kept me enthralled. After reading the prologue, I was hooked. I started reading in the early evening and did not finish until around 2 AM. It has the right mixture of romance, adventure, depth, and humor for a great read. Woven throughout is the theme of trusting in God's faithfulness. It's refreshing to be reading a book for pleasure and also be reminds of spiritual truths I need to apply to my own life.
If you've read books by Karen Witemeyer in the past and loved them, read this book. If you've read her books and didn't love them, read this book. If you've never read her books, read this book. I promise: you won't be disappointed.
