The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn by Lori Benton

The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn was indeed a sweet love story.  It has intrigue, romance, danger--all the elements a reader wants in a good, take-me-away read.  I read it while on vacation, and it was very enjoyable and a delightful escape. 

Tamsen Littlejohn seeks to escape her violent stepfather after he murders her mother in a fit of rage.  She flees without any plan or provision and is mercifully aided by Jesse Bird, a half Indian mountain man with a good heart and a good aim with his rifle.  Tamsen proposes an arranged marriage, which the Holy Spirit whispers to Jesse's heart is God's plan so he agrees.  However, before the marriage can take place, the pastor asks Tamsen to take some time to be sure that is what she wants. During the waiting period, Jesse and Tamsen do fall in love, but not before many narrow escapes and misadventures as they flee from Tamsen's stepfather, who aims to hunt her down.

If you like adventure, this is the book for you.  If you like romance, this is the book for you.  If you like history, this is the book for you.  This books fills all those categories beautifully.  I received this book from Waterbrook Multnomah in return for my honest review.
