I’m grateful to Bethany House Publishers for the opportunity to gift a copy of At Love’s Command to one of my readers, so be sure to enter the giveaway via the Rafflecopter form below.
First Line
While the first line is somewhat serious, I’m already smiling as I can anticipate the wry humor behind the internal thought, can’t you?
He’s fought through ruthless outlaws and injury. But with her, he’s tempted to surrender.
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’s dedication to his friend during recovery earns Josephine’s respect, and when her brother is abducted, he becomes her only hope for rescue.
When plans go awry and Josephine is caught in the crossfire, Matthew may have to sacrifice everything–even his team–to save her.
For those who love to smile as they read, bestselling author Karen Witemeyer offers warmhearted historical romance with a flair for humor, feisty heroines, and swoon-worthy Texas heroes. Recently voted #1 Readers’ Favorite Christian Romance Author by Family Fiction Magazine, Karen is a two-time winner of the ACFW Carol Award and three-time RITA® finalist. Karen is a firm believer in the power of happy endings. . . and ice cream. She is an avid cross-stitcher, and makes her home in Abilene, TX with her husband and three children.

fiesty heroines

I love her wit (making for some seriously fun reads!) and how relatable her characters are. They’re all broken in some way which just makes them so much more perfect. Can’t wait to read this book!!

I love how her books always have a great balance of humor and heart. They always lift my mood, but they also tend to speak to trials I’m going through, sometimes with great wisdom that I really need to hear.
