WRDF Review of The Commander's Desire by Jennette Green

Title: The Commander’s Desire

Author: Jennette Green

Genre: Medieveal Historical

Length: Novel

Publisher: The Wild Rose Press

ISBN: 1-60154-336-0

Heat: Midly Sensual

Blurb:

Princess Elwytha wants revenge on the monster who murdered her brother. In a false exchange for peace, she offers herself in marriage to the enemy Prince. The plan? Kill the Prince’s battle-scarred Commander—the man who ended King Thor’s life with one filthy sword thrust through the back.

To her horror, the Commander agrees to take Elwytha as his bride. Worse, the wedding date will be sooner than expected. Not all is lost, however. Now she has more opportunity to be alone with him—and exact justice.

But the deed becomes difficult to carry out. Fighting her innate sense of honor, she begins to see the ironclad integrity of the man behind the scars. And with this knowledge comes doubt. Did he slay her brother? What exactly is the new king’s plan? Whom can she trust? Elwytha must decide well, for more than her life is at stake. Soon she must betray either allegiance to her kingdom—or the man who is quickly claiming her heart.

Review:

The Commander’s Desire is a historical novel that reaches you deep down to your soul.

I love a good historical novel and Jennette Green has written not only a romance and a novel but a book to be proud of in any circle of literary significance. This isn’t a humorous tale filled with non-stop exciting adventure. No, instead this an emotional journey for both hero and heroine. A dramtic telling that affected me in a way I won’t soon forget.

I love great characters and I was not disappointed in this book. Elwytha felt so real to me. At first, I almost didn’t like her. She was so biased against the commander and at times seemed far too angry at him. But she had every reason to maintain those feelings and I enjoyed watching the transition in her as she came to understand the truth. The Commander is one of those wonderful historic heroes. Definitely an alpha male of the quiet brooding variety. Yet he is intelligent and can smile and laugh at a joke but when action must be taken he is there.

Simply stated, I loved this book. No matter what genre you read or what heat level you enjoy, you will be enthralled with The Commander’s Desire. You will feel their emotions, understand their sorrows and celebrate their victories. It definitely stays on my shelf.
