The pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn by
Lori Benton
After the tragic death of her mother, Tamsen Littlejohn flees
from the hands of her stepfather. In hopes that she can run away from a
marriage her stepfather has arranged. But she cannot do it alone. So she
enlists Jesse Bird, a true frontiersman, in the hopes that he can get her across
the mountains and away from the clutches of her stepfather. But Tamsen is in
for more than she bargained for and soon finds that out. Does she have the
courage to put her life in the hands of a stranger? Can she escape her
stepfather and a marriage to man she has only met once? And could something
good ever come out of something bad? Before I began reading this book, I didn’t have high
expectations for it; since I had previously read Lori Benton’s first book Burning Sky. But man was I proven wrong.
This book drew me in the moment I finished chapter one. I found myself not
wanting to stop reading and could not put it down. The story is fast-paced and exciting;
there was never a dead moment. It was a beautifully written love story and that
perfect read for when you want something romantic. But there was not just love
in this story; it was filled with action and accurate history. You can really
tell the author did her research for this book. But the story doesn’t focus on
the history aspect of it, but has it intermingled throughout the story to make
it very realistic to the time period. If
you’re a romance lover of any kind you will fall in love with this book and the
characters. If you love historical books this is jammed full of it. And if you
love action books you will love this book. I guess what I’m trying to say is
this book has everything and will be a greatly treasured story. It’s a beautifully written love story that you
will not want to end. I
rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
