Book Review: A Worthy Pursuit by Karen Witemeyer


Charlotte Atherton is faced with a dilemma. The school she has taught music at for the past decade is closing down for reasons the headmaster will not explain, and three of her students have nowhere to go. Charlotte is the legal guardian of the little girl, but in order to keep her safe she must go into hiding.

Stone Hammond, a very successful bounty hunter, has been sent to retrieve a little girl he was told has been kidnapped. It turns out this retrieval isn’t quite what he bargained for! Along the way, will Charlotte and Stone find what they were looking for, or something else altogether?

Set in the late 1800’s, A Worthy Pursuit is an enjoyable piece of historical romance that I found myself quickly wrapped up in. The main characters are learning to trust each other while falling in love trying to protect Lilly, a dime novel loving little girl being pursued by her dangerous grandfather. Both characters also get the chance to grow in their faith in God, and move forward from past traumas.

I found the book to be suspenseful with a well-written plot, although a few details were just a little too over the top (I don’t want to give anything away though). I definitely recommend A Worthy Pursuit to those who appreciate historical fiction and romance.


I received this book for free from the publisher through the BethanyHouse Blogger Review Program. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions and thoughts I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255
