For Years They've Been Nomads for Justice, but a Final Mission
May Just Lead Their Hearts Home.
Members of the legendary Hanger's Horsemen, Mark Wallace and
Jonah Brooks arrive in Llano County, Texas, to deliver a steed, never expecting
they'd help deliver a baby as well. Left with an infant to care for, they head
to a nearby foundling home, where Mark encounters the woman he nearly married a
decade ago.
After failing at love, Katherine Palmer has dedicated her life to caring for
children, teaming up with Eliza Southerland to start Harmony House. Eliza
understands the pain of not fitting society's mold, being illegitimate and of
mixed ancestry. Yet those are the very attributes that lead her to minister to
outcast children. The taciturn Jonah intrigues her by defying all her
stereotypes of men, but there are secrets behind his eyes--ghosts from wars past
and others still being waged.
When the Horsemen hear rumors of missing children, they stay to investigate,
sticking close to Harmony House and its beautiful owners. As they work together
to uncover the truth, love and danger grow hand in hand until a final sinister
scheme threatens to destroy them all.

My Review ~ 5 STARS!!!
Witemeyer is on my list of not-to-be-missed
authors. In The Heart’s Charge, the character that resonated over and over with
me was Jonah. Oh, the others are superbly written because, helloooo, it’s Karen
Witemeyer, but there is just something about Jonah—the hardships he has
overcome and not been embittered by—that makes him exceptional.
As a Horseman, Jonah has a physical presence that
is quite intimidating to those who don’t know him. I could easily picture his
tall stature and confident stride (or sitting a saddle) with a touch of arrogance. But he
also has an intelligence and sensitivity that sees beyond the exterior to
interior motives and emotions. He is quietly observant with a crackerjack sense
of humor and is absolutely the perfect match for Eliza Sutherland! Their
tension on the page is palpable, and the banter so much fun!!!
This has become one of my favorite series by this
author. Not only will you laugh out loud but you’ll feel as if your own heart
has been lassoed by these children and their plight, and that just might have
you shedding a tear or two.
If you enjoy historical fiction interlaced with
strong faith and sweet yet heart galloping romance, then do grab a copy of The Heart’s Charge today!
Pssst…I also recommend reading the first book, At Love’s Command, because…again…it’s
Karen Witemeyer. J
I received a copy of the book from the publisher
for review purposes. No compensation received.
Great review, Anne. This is by far her best series. In my opinion.
