Resumen del Editor

Historical Romance to Fall in Love With

Stone Hammond is the best tracker in Texas. He never comes home empty handed. So when a wealthy railroad investor hires him to find his abducted granddaughter, Stone eagerly accepts. Charlotte Atherton, former headmistress of Sullivan's Academy for Exceptional Youths, will do anything to keep her charges safe, especially the little girl entrusted to her care after her mother's death.

Charlotte promised Lily's mother she'd keep the girl away from her unscrupulous grandfather, and nothing will stop Charlotte from fulfilling that pledge. Not even the handsome bounty hunter with surprisingly honest eyes who comes looking for them. When the teacher he's after produces documentation that shows she's the little girl's legal guardian, Stone must reevaluate everything he's been led to believe.

Is Miss Atherton villain or victim? She acts more like a loving mother than an abductress, and the children in her care clearly adore her. Should Stone break his perfect record? Then a new danger threatens, and Charlotte is forced to trust the man sent to destroy her. Stone becomes determined to protect what he once sought to tear apart. Besides, he's ready to start a new pursuit: winning Charlotte's heart.

🥰 LOVED THIS READ

I found it exciting and fun. Well written and the narrator did a great job.

A Western Romance with a Christian Message

Any additional comments?

This is a western and a romance with a Christian message, and I enjoyed it very much. I’m not a big romance fan, but this one had very high ratings, and I’m glad I gave it a chance.

The prim and proper headmistress of a school for gifted children in Houston, Texas tries to protect several of her students when the school is unexpectedly closed. The devious grandfather of a little girl sends bounty hunters to find her. One of those bounty hunters gets more than he bargained for when he discovers the group in hiding.

No bad language, no sex, not much violence, and a nice love story with children involved. The characters were fun, even the bad guys. Some action moved the story along.

Excellent narration by Ms. McCulloh, although the little girl’s voice sounded too young, in my opinion. Good pacing and distinctive accents really helped.

A Refreshing Adventurous Novel

This book is extremely interesting, adventurous and romantic at the same time . The characters are described so well you wish you could meet them personally. The thread of faith in the characters unites them and makes the reader want to apply that behavior in real life. This book is a must read for anyone who is interested in a good novel and an old-fashioned love story.

Great story

An adventurous love story with good twist. My attention was kept the entire story, definitely entertaining. My 12to daughter would always stop and listen in when she heard me listening to this book, she really liked the story as well.

A Worthy Listen

I enjoyed listening to "A Worthy Pursuit" so very much! Barbara McCulloh did a wonderful job narrating. The story was extremely well written and had me on the edge of my seat several times!!!

A worthy read

I like finding characters I can relate to. Charlotte and I are both wound pretty tight. We like order and we like control. So she and I would be friends.

Stone is about as hunky as they come, with a teddy bear heart to go with his deep amber eyes.

I love the message of family being what you make it.

Great Christian romance. Highly recommended.

Original premise, nice love story

I love books that have unique plots. This is one of them. All aspects were well thought out and beautifully written. There were a few times the story was a bit drawn out, i.e., too long, but for the most part, it was an exciting tale. At the core was a sweet wholesome romance & a satisfying HEA.

Loved it !!

This book was absolutely awesome !!
I never wanted to stop listing once I got started
I definitely recommend this book to anyone!!

A hero with his own head.

Stone is a very hero-like hero. And he thinks with his own head based on evidence and facts before his eyes, then decides what he should do. That's the kind of a person I always would like and try to be.
Charlotte is amazing not just because she is musically talented but also because she keeps loving her students and is great with them although she had been hurt. The three children's trust and love toward her tell almost everything about her. These kids are also wonderful and cute. I really love being with these characters by listening to this story, thank you.

Great, happy love story!
