A secret family, a dangerous journey, and a reluctant protector who might save her heart.

Catherine Lenora McKenna has never lacked for anything. She has a loving father and is surrounded by people who care for her every need. Even so, she senses an odd hole. When she learns on her eighteenth birthday that she is not an only child, but one of three identical triplets, she finally understands what’s been missing. Setting out with a single clue, Catherine embarks on a desperate quest to find her missing family.

Colin Elliott is recovering from the violent storm that cost him his ship and left him with crippling injuries. The last thing he needs is to deal with the pampered daughter of his business associate, Angus McKenna. But McKenna is desperate and Colin indebted. As Colin follows and protects Catherine, he finds himself drawn to her kindness and strength, and drawn into her desire for family.

As love blossoms between Catherine and Collin, the journey takes a dangerous turn and each is forced to hold on to their newfound love and trust God to guide them.

Christian Historical Romance is one of my favorite genres to read. Catherine's Pursuit by Lena Nelson Dooley is Book 3 in McKenna's Daughter series. I read Book 1 in this series and was excited to read this book! 

WOW, the storyline was excellent and kept me focused throughout the book. The 2 main characters in this story are Catherine Lenora McKenna and Colin Elliott.  Catherine feels like she has had a wonderful life as an only child, although at the same time she felt something was missing. Her hunch was proven correct when she turned 18. She was told that she wasn't an only child, that she was a Triplet. She decides that she really wants to find her missing family and she begins to do so. Colin is employed by Angus McKenna, Catherine's Dad. Mr. McKenna doesn't want Catherine making this journey on her own and Colin is sent out to keep an eye on Catherine. Colin is recovering from recent injuries, but he follows the orders of his boss. The journey becomes a bit dangerous for Colin and Catherine, and therefore Colin must really protect Catherine. I LOVE that Colin and Catherine allow each other to really get to know each other through this journey and the danger that follows them. Colin's heart really changes from bitterness for having this task to letting down the walls. Catherine also finds herself enjoying Colin's company. The growth in Catherine and Colin, in breaking down walls and their Spiritual growth was so heartwarming. The book takes them on a journey that neither would have anticipated. The book is one of Family, Faith and romance. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys Christian Historical Romance. WONDERFUL BOOK!

More from Lena

I’ve spent a lot of time with these triplets. They almost feel like part of my extended family. I hope my readers feel that way, too.

I have walked with the Lord for most of my 82 years. He has been with me through hard times and wonderfully blessed times. We learn and grow in Him more in the valleys than on the mountaintops. That’s why I write books that show how much He loves. We can’t understand the depths of His love for us unless we need Him desperately. I write these stories to share that love and hope to my readers.

While I am writing a book, I often pray for God to give me the words that will touch readers who need to know Him more. I also want to write a story that will entertain them as well.

If you want to bless me, please leave a review somewhere about the stories you love. I do try to read reviews and learn from them.

I’m only 15 months from losing the love of my life after spending 59 years with him. If the Lord puts me on your heart, please whisper a prayer for me. Prayer changes things.
