At His Command

Title: AT HIS COMMAND
Author: Brenda Coulter
Publisher: Love Inspired
September 2008
ISBN: 978-0-373-87496-5
Genre: Inspirational/contemporary romance

Madeline Bright is burned out by being an Emergency Room Army Nurse. She is tired of having young men die in her arms, fatally wounded in the line of duty. She returns to Prairie Springs, Texas, to pursue a degree in Obstetrics. Almost the first person she meets is Jake Hopkins, her brother’s best friend.

Jake has decided he’s allergic to Maddie. After all, she is thirteen years younger than him, and his heart does weird things when he’s around her. Besides, Maddie would have nothing to do with him if she knew the truth about how her brother Noah had died.

Maddie loves Jake, and has never flirted so hard in her life, but it seems be to no avail. Jake can’t allow that. After all, he’s wounded, he has a gimp leg, and Maddie deserves so much more.

AT HIS COMMAND is a story about a wounded hero, bitter, hurting, and stern. All the joy had been sucked out of his life by the death of his wife, the death of his best friend, and his severe injury. Maddie’s favorite color is yellow, the color of sunshine, and everything about her is sunny, her car, her clothes, and her personality. The only thing that seems to hurt her is Jake’s constant rejections.

I enjoyed getting to know Maddie and Jake, and watch as their relationship moved forward. Tied together by an orphaned boy with a heart problem caused by a bomb that killed his mom, Ali is a sweetheart and both Maddie and Jake are instrumental in getting Ali the care he needs. Don’t miss AT HIS COMMAND. It is a winner. And even though it is the third book in the Hometown Heroes series, it easily stands alone. Discussion questions are included at the end of the book. $5.50. 216 pages.

AT HIS COMMAND will be available in stores August 26.
