At Love’s Command by Karen Witemeyer



I just finished reading this book.  It was interesting to read about a female doctor at a time in history when they weren’t well accepted.  The book is well written, a clean historical romance, faith based, with suspense built in, I finished it in one day.  I found myself invested in the characters and wanted to see what happened to them in the end, so I stayed up last night reading it.  I would recommend the book to those who like this type of genre.



I received this book as an advance reader’s copy, the opinions and thoughts on this book are my own freely given.  I received this book in a kindle format from Netgalley.com.  I would give the book 5 stars.  #AtLovesCommand. #NetGalley.



Description

Haunted by the horrors of war, ex-cavalry officer Matthew Hanger leads a band of mercenaries known as Hanger's Horsemen who have become legends in 1890s Texas. They defend the innocent and obtain justice for the oppressed. But when a rustler's bullet leaves one of them at death's door, they're the ones in need of saving.

Dr. Josephine Burkett is used to men taking one look at her skirts and discounting her medical skills. What she's not used to is having a man change his mind in a heartbeat and offer to assist her in surgery. Matthew Hanger's dedication to his friend during recovery earns Josephine's respect, and when she hears of her brother's abduction, he becomes her only hope for rescue.

Matt has stared down ruthless outlaws, betrayal, and injury, but when a bossy lady doctor crawls under his skin, his heart is tempted to surrender. And when she is caught in the crossfire, he may have to sacrifice everything--even his team--to save her.
