By Karen Witemeyer
Bethany House, 2020. 377 pages. Romance
Following the massacre of Wounded Knee, cavalry officer Matthew Hanger leaves the military and leads a band of mercenaries who defend the innocent. When one of his men is gravely injured, they seek out the help of Dr. Josephine Burkett. When Josie’s brother is abducted, she asks the Hanger’s Horsemen to save him, but things go wrong and soon it’s Josie who is in danger. Will Matthew be able to save her in time, or will he lose the woman he has fallen for?
This is one of my all-time favorite Karen Witemeyer books. Josie is a strong, independent, intelligent woman who also is compassionate, understanding, and finds a true partner in Matthew. The Christian elements felt authentic and relevant, without being overbearing. They make each other better people and help one another grow and learn new things. I can’t wait for the other books in this series, and would recommend to anyone who enjoys clean romance, historical fiction, or Christian fiction.

I really enjoyed this new series opener by Kristin Witemeyer. Matthew and his crew of Hanger's Horsemen have experienced some horrible things during their time together, but now they have vowed to protect the innocent and try not to take any more lives. Josie is a tough Frontier doctor that has had to fight for respect in a very male dominated society. At first, Matthew and Josie seem like total opposites but their chemistry is so fun to read. I also loved getting to know the rest of the crew and all of their unique personalities. It is not very often, in Christian fiction, that you have a group of faithful men facing so many dangerous situations together. I liked learning from the examples of this loyal group. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
