Praise for The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn
“Benton has created a beautiful character who readers will grow to love
in Tamsen, a privileged young woman who handles her struggles with grace
and strength. Readers will support and cherish her relationship with
the hero as the characters come to trust and care for each other. The
setting is an engaging backdrop to the story. All these aspects work
together to form a wonderful novel that readers won’t put down until the
end.”
~ Romantic Times Book Reviews
“Founded on a fascinating little-known moment in early American history, The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn is one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve ever read. In this tightly paced flight into fear, hope, and mystery, author Lori Benton emerges as the quintessential artist, able to pull her readers into the story through her well-drawn, multidimensional characters, their emotions, motivations, and dreams.”
~ Sue Harrison, international best-selling author of the Ivory Carver trilogy
“Reminiscent of The Last of the Mohicans, and equally as stirring, The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn is a rare book that kept me up late into the night. Ms. Benton is an exquisite storyteller whose majestic descriptions, suspenseful plot, and passionate romance are not soon to be forgotten.”
~ MaryLu Tyndall, author of the Escape to Paradise trilogy
