Review: The Heart's Charge

The Heart's Charge 

"Members of Hanger's Horsemen, Mark Wallace and Jonah Brooks arrive in Llano County, Texas, to deliver a steed, never expecting they'd 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'd nearly married a decade ago.

After failing at love, Katherine Palmer dedicated her life to caring for children, teaming up with Eliza Southerland to start Harmony House. From mixed ancestry, illegitimate, and female, Eliza understands the pain of not fitting society's mold. Yet those are the very attributes that lead her to minister to outcast children. The taciturn Jonah intrigues her with his courage and kindness, but there are secrets behind his eyes--ghosts from wars past and others still being waged.

However, when a handful of urchin children from the area go missing, a pair of Horsemen are exactly what the women need. Working together to find the children, will these two couples find love as well?"

Author: Karen Witemeyer
Genre: Historical Romance
Series: Hanger's Horseman (book 2)



Ohhh!!! Ohhhh!!! I’m so glad I picked up this book.
The first book in the series wasn’t my favorite, and I was a little worried about this one. But Karen is a favorite author of mine so of COURSE I picked it up. And I’m glad I did.

I loved this book! I read most of it in one sitting, and if life and real jobs hadn’t gotten in the way I would’ve finished it in a day. I loved being back with the Horsemen. I LOVE that we’re getting books with guy best friends. Brothers from different mothers.

I also really enjoyed having two love stories going at one time. I was a little worried about bouncing between 4 POVs, but it worked! I never felt lost or confused in anyone's head and I was able to follow along as the story progressed.

I loved Mark & Kates relationship. The history they shared, and the chemistry they had on page. They seemed young and in love, but not naïve like they were before.

Jonah & Eliza’s relationship was so sweet! They were the perfect match for each other. It was a relationship built on respect and getting to know each other. They bonded over shared experiences, and both had a hard shell and a soft heart.

I loved that both couples communicated! They talked to each and got to know one another again.

I loved Harmony House too. It was a wonderful ministry and the kids were an adorable addition.

The “action/bad guy” parts were handled well! And it was a nice little change from the normal. (If you know you know)

I really enjoyed this book, and I’m looking forward to Luke’s book even more now!!
5/5 stars
