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.
