Review: The Heart's Charge

The Heart's Charge by Karen Witemeyer
My rating: 💛💛💛💛💛

What is better than a strong cowboy interacting with children? Two strong cowboys!

I flew through this audiobook because I could not stop listening to this story. It was captivating, not only because of the heroes, Mark, and Jonah, who, though they both are this strong solid man, they both had this softer side when interacting with the leading ladies and the children, not only because we are spoiled with two romances, but we again got to enjoy Karen Witemeyer's western mystery, filled with danger and action.

“God don't need fancy words," Jonah encouraged, "just true ones.”

Karen Witemeyer did a great job of pinning down the essence of the characters in these pages, especially Eliza, where I could just feel her southern personality coming through. The author also dealt very well with handling a sensitive topic (racism) in a gentle but honest way.

I really loving this series, not just the cowboys and the ladies, but also the horses with their own strong-willed personalities.

Please read this series in order, because all the books are worth to be read.

“But if each man and woman were defined solely by their greatest sin, what hope would there be for any of us?”

Oh, and I love that all the characters are names after Biblical characters.

About the book:

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.
