Customer Reviews

Samantha Kane writes great stuff! HOT- HOT--HOT!!

I am a big fan of the "Brothers In Arms" series and have all of them. I think it's great that these special men find love with each other and the fabulous woman who completes the trio. Keep writing Ms Kane! I will keep buying!

I'm Breathless

I'm just wrapping up what is by far the crown jewel in the Brothers In Arms series. First I'd like to comment on the page count. At almost 400 pages (far more than the previous installments) It is full of love, passion, and the hottest coupling imaginable. It was a great story. I am sad that I don't have more to read. But Ms. Kane has left herself open for many more books to come (I hope) as she has introduced us to many secondary characters throughout the series. My only pet peeve about this book is how many times they say Sophie's name! I mean good grief I would think she knows her own name by now! :) Anyway, great book and definately a great read! Warning: Make sure you have someone to snuggle up against after reading this book. It is filled with some hot steamy loving!!! Enjoy!

A hot read

This is a good book, it takes a little bit to get started but after it is a hot book.

Worth waiting for

This book was worth waiting for. The writer did not disapoint. I do recommend this book to anyone. I love the whole storyline, it was hot, the sex was hot and not cheaply described. She did a great closing, hope this does not mean that she won't move to the next couple, would love to know more about the niece and her beaus. This story went a bit more in deph about the previous two books story, giving an end of the circle style. We get to understand a little bit more about what happened to all of them and how they came to be. I would recommend buying her two previous books and then reading this one, although you don't have to, but you will certainly enjoy them all.

A true GEM of a story

The Brothers in Arms series centers around a group of men who fought together in the Peninsular War. In pairs, they protected each other and saved each other many times over. They love each other but, for some of them, they never considered how much they needed to also physically love each other and could only fulfill that unspoken need by sharing one woman. Once they find a woman they can both love, it also frees them to explore their love for each other. As much as I loved the previous books in this series, they almost pale in comparison to At Love's Command (despite a couple of minor issues I had with two secondary characters). At Love's Command is the story of two of the men, Ian and Derek, who have already discovered how much they need each other in every way (flashbacks to their war years add to the richness of this story). But Ian dreams of a "new start with someone not associated with the war and all that happened there... Finally they could put the past behind them and live fully in the present, planning for a future. Ian wanted a family. He wanted children. And he wanted to give those things to Derek, too." Unfortunately, Derek neither needs nor wants any part of it. He is convinced that a wife will destroy his life with Ian. "A child when they were betrothed, Sophia Middleton has been waiting twelve years for Ian Witherspoon to return and marry her. Preyed upon by her vicious father and older brother, Sophie longs for Ian to rescue her." In this series, Samantha Kane shows us another reality within the Regency era ton... woman had no rights and were at the mercy and whim of the men in their lives. They either accepted their lot in life or held out hope that yet another man would change their circumstances. From the vantage point of our modern times, it is hard to comprehend that women had so little personal power. And as romance readers, we are accustomed to seeing women of the ton treated as pampered, protected pets or, at worst, neglected and ignored by indifferent parents/guardians. In At Love's Command, it is truly horrifying to learn what Sophia has endured at the hands of her father and brother, made more so by the fact that she really had no choice but to survive it or take her own life... until Ian sends for her. It was heart wrenching to watch her fear of Ian's rejection and her willing debasement of herself as she grasped at the only hope she would ever have in her life. From her POV, the fact that Ian already had Derek in his life meant that he would make few demands on her sexually and she would feel some measure of freedom and control for the first time. Kane's writing has matured exponentially with this rich, exquisite, multi-dimensional story. Each of the men reminisces about their history together which makes their bond all the more believable and allows us to see their current situation from both viewpoints. And watching Sophie bloom and discover her true personality and sexuality is a delightful journey. Kane w
