Brothers in Arms #4
Hers to Command
She'd entrusted her lands to his skill, but her heart was another matter . . .
Sir Henry was a knight-errant, capable of impressive prowess on the battlefield . . . and in bed. Finding two sisters -- one stunningly beautiful, the other steadfast and determined -- waiting patiently in his chamber, he entertained their proposition: a generous sum in exchange for commanding their men-at-arms in a battle to save their lands.
Seduced by the beauty of Gisele, yet irresistibly drawn to the intelligence of Mathilde, a proud woman as complex as her secrets, Henry accepts their offer. But as invaders close in, it is Mathilde who must dare to trust her deepest desires . . . and the man willing to fight for all he is worth to prove his honor.

Award-winning author Margaret Moore actually began her career at the age of eight, when she and a friend concocted stories featuring a lovely, spirited damsel and a handsome, misunderstood thief nicknamed "The Red Sheik."
Unknowingly pursuing her destiny, Margaret graduated with distinction from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature. During that time, she also became a Leading Wren with the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve, where she learned to use a variety of weapons and had the weepy experience of being tear-gassed.
In addition to being a wife and mother of two, she's also been an award-winning public speaker, synchronized swimmer, an archer, and studied fencing and ballroom dancing.
Margaret sold her first historical romance and the premiere book of her Warrior series, A WARRIOR'S HEART, to Harlequin Historicals® in 1991.

Une histoire qui, même si elle présente quelques défaut, se lit facilement et dont on s'attache aux personnages. Je me suis laissé prendre à cette histoire entre deux êtres brisés qui tentent de se reconstruire. Bonne lecture.

Decent plot line, I enjoyed it alot. Typical bad cousin trying to take holdings from 2 sisters. Evil man. Glad he got his in the end. Such a shame that the very good looking Knight Henry got so badly hurt. I always hate when they let the hero get hurt or he's already terribly hurt. Such disfigurement in such handsome men should be a crime, lol. Im excited to find and read the others from Brothers in Arms series now.

Why do evil men in these books always believe that they are entitled to rape and ravage women?

Interesting medieval romance, with quite bit of fighting.
Harry's story, in the BIA series. I liked that they gave the two lovers a lot more to work through, in terms of psychological damage, which was a commonality between them. PTSD, in a medieval setting, so to speak.
It felt a lot bloodier and dangerous than many of the others -- perhaps because it's not just plotting and scheming, but outright battle and siege that takes place.
Mathilde is an odd mix of a woman with scars, who could well become a harridan, but manages not to. I think my brain was affected by reading The Conquered Brides though, because I kept expecting a spanking to break out! ha
Anyway, it all worked out in the end, and the author nicely serves up a bit of tragedy and sacrifice to even the emotional playing field between them both. It was good to see Mathilde help Harry gain some maturity and gravitas, and watch Harry lighten Mathilde's life up. Glad the author did the epilogue -- would've been a bit flat without it.

2022 READ: 3.5 STARS!
To be honest, the story is between so so and alright. I don't even know if I'm going to read the whole series.
My review is not for intelligent discussion. It's what I felt/thought while reading the book. For 2022, I would rate the book this way:
1 - DNF'ed
2 - does not exist
3 - did not like
4 - it was okay
5 - I like it / I enjoy reading it (but it doesn't mean I recommend it)

Apart from the mandatory sex scene, this honestly did not read like a Mills and Boon novel. I don't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing as I started reading it expecting a soppy chic lit story. Towards the end of the novel I realised that I didn't particularly like the main heroine. I realised that her supposed good qualities, were in fact quite annoying. Perhaps this is a Mills and Boon influence, or maybe the problem lies with me as a reader, but it left the story somewhat unresolved. I felt as if the characters were undeserving of the ending. Perhaps there is a greater Mills and Boon influence than what initially appears?
