At Love's Command by Karen Witemeyer

About the Book:
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 Review:
I enjoyed this cowboy romance. There is plenty of action for fans of westerns. There is also a good dose of romance and a good faith message. The character development is done rather well although it seemed Josie's character change to romance was too smooth. I would have liked a little more of a dilemma on her part.

This is a good novel for readers who enjoy westerns with lots of action. A major theme of the novel is the violence done toward native Americans. Witnessing such violence set the hero on a new course of seeking justice but avoiding killing. I was disappointed there was no discussion questions included in the book.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
