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.
Review:
Karen Witemeyer's new series starts out with a bang! This book was a thrilling read, with a little more action and a little less romance than the author's previous books, but that didn't make it any less enjoyable than her other books. Dr. Josephine Burkett and Matthew Hanger are both strong personalities, determined to help in their own ways, and while at first, they seem to be opposites--Matt a warrior and Josie a healer--but they complement each other and work well together. The plot was fast-paced with lots of action, softened with bits of God's love (often through Bible verses quoted by one of Matthew's men) that uplifted the characters as well as the reader. I loved how each character had his or her own quirks and they are fiercely loyal. As always, Witemeyer has written a heartwarming story that was a pleasure to read. I'm excited to get to know the other horsemen in later books!
4.5 stars.
I read an ARC provided by the author/publisher. All opinions are my own.
