At Love's Command
At Love's Command | Karen Witemeyer
6 posts | 8 read
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.

A perfect, light-hearted historical fiction romance to end the year. Will read the next one in the series to start the new year.

Do you enjoy historically inaccurate, racist depictions of white people murdering American Indians in the Old West? Do you feel bad for the big white man hero when he tries to help a Lakota woman but she‘s just so racist she won‘t accept his help while he and his friends are slaughtering her people? (It‘s OK, though, because the white man feels bad about the genocide he committed!) Well praise the Lord and pass the ammo, this is the book for you!

AliD73 This is the perfect book for white racist Americans who have deluded themselves into believing that they are Christians. If you are a real Christian or if you are anything other than white, you will see this book for the offensive, inaccurate piece of pseudo-Christian garbage it actually is. (edited) 3y
Ericalambbrown I volunteer for our friends of the library group in a small rural southern Missouri town. Every stinking time I work I get someone asking for “Christian cowboy/pioneer romance” or “Amish romance” which is apparently a thing. It‘s a wee bonkers. 😂 3y
AliD73 @Ericalambbrown I find it offensive that this particular book is marketed as being Christian. It is historically inaccurate, racist, and to say it is poorly written would be putting it mildly. I rarely say this about a book, but this book is total garbage and there‘s no resemblance whatsoever to real Christianity. This book is a perfect example of why I hardly ever read any book with the label “Christian” although I‘m a Christian. 3y

Ericalambbrown @AliD73 I have found that to be true if most fiction marketed as Christian. And I agree - it is very offensive. 3y
AliD73 @Ericalambbrown Me too. Unfortunately, the majority of Christian fiction is targeted at a specific demographic of extreme right wing, racist, sexist, xenophobic, and anti-LGBT pseudo-Christians who have distorted the real Gospel message. (edited) 3y

Wow! I loved this book. I stayed up way too late to finish it. The chemistry between Josie and Matthew was great and the way that the men treated each other was a reminder of the code of the west. I love a good western and this ranks right up there at the top. I can just imagine if this was a movie, I think John Wayne would have made a good Matthew!

I received this book from the author for my honest review.

“No problem exists that Matthew Hanger can‘t outthink.”

Hands down, the best part of this story is the dynamic between the Horsemen. Each fellah brings something special to the group. The brotherly banter and ribbing is so cute!

With fantastic supporting characters, beautiful prayers and many scripture reflections, fans of historical fiction will absolutely enjoy this book!

I received a complimentary copy of this book.

This was the BEST Christian romance I have read in a long time! Matthew Hanger meets Doctor Josephine Burkett when one of his men is shot. They each are warriors in their own way. Neither of them expects the war they must wage to be save her brother and be together. Will they both survive the battle? #netgalley #atlovescommand
