Book Description
Ex-cavalry officer Matthew Hanger leads a band of mercenaries who defend the innocent, but when a rustler's bullet leaves one of them at death's door, they seek out help from Dr. Josephine Burkett. When Josephine's brother is abducted and she is caught in the crossfire, Matthew may have to sacrifice everything--even his team--to save her.
My thoughts:
I have been a Karen
Witemeyer for quite a while and have loved her writing, looking forward to each
book that she has released. So needless
to say, I was super excited to get a copy of her newest novel which is the first
book in her new series.
I liked the premise of
a woman doctor in the 1800’s but unfortunately it took a long time before I got
interested in the storyline. There are
some moments that were interesting, some of the characters were likeable, there
is plenty of action and I almost didn’t finish reading it. However, I did keep reading it and I’m glad
that I did because all of the characters became ones that I genuinely
liked. I think the slow build up is due
to the fact that At Love’s Command is the first book in the series and the
author took time introducing her readers so we can look forward to finding out
what life has in store for them in future novels.
This is a Christian fiction
novel but there is also a lot of gun violence which was part of the storyline
so this one may not be suitable for young readers. I received a copy from the
publisher. All opinions are my own.
