I
entered the Haven Manor series
with book three, A Pursuit of Home,
other than the short story Legacy of Love
from The Christmas Heirloom Novella Collection.
This book worked quite well as a stand-alone read. Hunter made good
use of her prologue to build background and interest.
I
had difficulty coming up with a word to describe the cast of
characters of A Pursuit of Home.
The best I can do is whimsical, a strange word to associate with
nobility turned spies and an academic. Following Jessamine (Jess)
Beauchene and Derek Thornbury on their quest to restore the small
nation of Verbonne is full of danger and surprises. This is the kind
of story in which the reader creates vivid mental images of the
characters, the type that would cause a great degree of agitation if
the book were made into a movie in which the actors did not match
those mental images. Readers are likely to become vested in the lives
of Derek and Jess.
I
am grateful to have received a copy of this book from Bethany House
via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no
obligation to provide a positive review, and received no monetary
compensation.
