At Love's Command by Karen Witemeyer

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.

The Heart of a Hero by Susan May Warren

First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Susan May Warren and her publisher for sending me a copy of "The Heart of a Hero" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me. Susan May Warren’s latest novel, “The Heart of a Hero” is an action-packed read perfect for a long summer weekend!   Aria Sinclair is caught smack-dab in the middle of a category 4 hurricane in Florida.   Jake Silver can’t get Aria out of his head and, hearing of her predicament, rushes down there in an attempt to rescue her…again. This novel starts off at a run and doesn’t let up until the last page is turned!   I have not read “The Way of the Brave,” yet, which is the first offering in this Global Search and Rescue Series.   But even though Jake and Aria’s relationship began in that novel, this book reads really well on its own.   In fact, it makes me want to read the first bo
