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.
...my thoughts...
At Love's Command by Karen Witemeyer is a satisfying story of adventure and romance. Dr. Jo was not at all who Matt Hanger expected when he brought gravely injured Mark Wallace to her door. He expected a man. He wasn't sure she was up to saving Wallace but she was his only hope. And hope he did because he met his match in this fiery woman doctor.
Josephine Burkett worked hard to get the town to accept her as their physician. She didn't need a member of the famed Hanger's Horsemen to come in and upset her practice. What a surprise for both of them when they discovered a bond that would unite them through the gravest conflict of their lives.
I enjoyed this book because it is entertaining, witty and portrays a woman who stepped out in courage as a doctor in the old west. It is also carries a serious side with characters who show their courage and committment as they battle for their lives and the life of Jo's reckless brother. Spoiled and out of money, he got more than he bargained for when his latest scheme for money endangered all he held dear. This is one of those books that is a perfect addition for that summer reading list. I received an advance reader copy of this book for review but my opinions and recommendations are my own. Pick up a copy at your favorite bookseller.
