A Battle Is About to be Waged Between Two Hearts.
Fashion artist Priscilla Hutchens has a grudge against the army that has ruined her family and taken the people she holds most dear. When her twin niece and nephew are left orphaned at Fort Bliss, Texas, she swoops down on Fort Bliss to gain custody of them immediately.
There is just one thing standing in the way—Post surgeon Major Elliot Ryder, who is also the twins uncle, also claims the children and thinks he knows what is best for them.
Priscilla and Elliot will cross swords, but each will have to lay down arms if they are to find a lasting peace on which to form the family both are longing for. Who will win the battle? Or will a truce be called for the sake of love and family?

MY THOUGHTS
Not a very long novel, 256 pages but it is well written with characters that are well developed and will hold your interest. You get a look into post Civil War medicine that took place on the battlefield. The moment you open the book, your interest is in full mode. I love historical romances and this one didn't disappoint. This is the first book to be released in a series of three. The other two are by different authors. You will definitely want to grab these when they release. The reader gets a look at living on at a Fort near El Paso and the Native Americans living close by. It was interesting reading and getting to know the women at the Fort. One thing I really loved was the love story. Priscilla goes to Ft. Bliss to take care of matters since her brother and sister in law have left twins, one boy, one girl, as orphans after they die. She only plans to go and pick up the kids and go back home but.......... Her sister in law had a brother, a Major Elliot. Elliot is a doctor for the cavalry and is taking care of the twins. Now the battle really begins. Elliot won't let the kids go with Priscilla and Priscilla isn't leaving without them. How will they solve this? Eliot knows he can't let Priscilla touch his heart or the children will be gone. Is there a possible romance brewing? The pace of the book is an easy one where you can take it all in and think about things. I found myself connecting with the characters in the book. Will Eliot and Priscilla come to an agreement, not only about the twins but about their relationship? A good clean read that you can fall in love with.
I received a copy of this book from the author and Barbour's Review Crew and voluntarily decided to review it.
I would give this book 5 STARS.
