The Captain's Challenge (The Wolf Deceivers Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Elaine Manders (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (134)
Can this Union Officer save a spirited Georgia belle from her family's troubled past?

Gillian Carey has spent the last eight years studying music in England. During that time, the American civil war has claimed two brothers and her mother. Another brother is still missing. She returns to her Georgia home and a dangerous world with her family hiding secrets and her father a broken and brooding man. She turns to Alex Blaine, a union captain, rooming in her ancestral home, to find her missing brother, not realizing Alex is investigating her father for insurrection.

An army intelligence officer, Alex is on a dangerous assignment to identify anarchists responsible for the unrest in post-civil war Georgia, and all clues lead to Gillian’s father. Alex is attracted to the spirited redhead, but he has secrets of his own other than his army mission. He may have been responsible for her missing brother’s death.

As Alex races against time to expose an enemy bent on starting another war, Gillian is torn between her loyalty to her family and her growing love for the handsome captain. Is he worthy of her trust, or will he betray her as others have?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal Historical Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2018

    This book did not lack for action, family and military secrets, suspense, romance and faith. Elaine Manders capture my attention from the beginning with this gripping and phenomenal story set in 1870 in Georgia. The history of the time, the unrest from slaves being freed, the pollution within the political realm and military involvement revealed the vast research by Manders.

    This Wolf Deceivers story is well written, appealing and thundering with emotion that will have you guessing who is behind all of the unrest surrounding the Carey family, military and the lives of other characters. The vivid descriptive writing of Manders had me visualizing all that the characters were experiencing from threats on their lives to family reunions. Gillian and Alex’s story is a must be read book with all the interwoven secrets, mystery and unexpected events that kept the pages turning till the last word was read. Even though this is book three in The Wolf Deceivers series it can be read as a standalone; however, I highly recommend reading the entire series along with other books by Elaine Manders. She never disappoints with providing a well written and action packed story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really Enjoyed the Story
    Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is the first book I've read by the author, but I'm sure it won't be my last even though there were a few mistakes. The story kept me turning the pages, and the hero Alex, and the heroine, Gillian, were wonderful characters. I loved how they ended up getting hitched. The stepmother Julia got her just dessert in the end. I loved the twist at the end. I also loved how the author teased about the familiarity of those silver eyes of Purity, but I figured that one out long before the book disclosed that I was correct, perhaps because I'm a writer myself. The Wolf Deceivers books may be read as stand-alones, which is what I did with this one, and I fully enjoyed it. I loved how the author handled what happened to Gillian's brother, Will, and I was right about one thing about him as well, but I can't say more because I do not want to give away the story. If you enjoy a good book that will hook you and keep you interested, you'll enjoy this one. I look forward to reading more books by this author and there is no such thing as a perfect book , so I rate it a five because it hooked and held me and the few mistakes did not distract from the story. They were not critical ones. Author BJ Robinson, Author of The Azalea Plantation Series and more.

    This was my first Elaine Manders book, and for me it was a delightfully comfortable read. There were some mistakes, but they were negligible in light of the absorbing tale. Some "puzzles" were easy to unravel while others were unexpected. The religious aspect, and its influence in the protagonists' behaviour, was well handled. I shall certainly read more of her books.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Taking place during the Reconstruction era after the Civil War, The Captain’s Challenge does an excellent job of conveying life in the South during this difficult period. Mistrust and hatred ran rampant during the time, but many also wanted to put the war behind them. Author Elaine Manders does a great job of showing those mindsets and the associated emotions. I fell in love with Alex. He’s brave, strong, sensitive, and honorable. Gillian is spunky and sassy without action modern or out of character for the time period. Both are very intelligent as evidenced by their dialogue. There are historical references (attired, customs, and tasks) sprinkled throughout the story, yet they do not feel textbookish. I was fortunate to have the luxury of reading the book in two sittings. It is a “page-turner,” and I didn’t want to put it down. Although not a mystery, there is a subplot involving an investigation which added intrigue. There are also several twists and turns, which added substance to the story. I look forward to reading The Captain’s Challenge again. Highly recommended.

    Elaine Manders has written an exceptional romance set during the Reconstruction Era, after the Civil War. Even though so many are glad the war is over, the effects are still being felt, and you read much about this in the book. I loved the characters of Alex and Gillian, they are both strong, intelligent and caring. I loved the the twists and turns in the plot. I couldn't put this book down and read it in one setting. I highly recommend this book to anyone. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

    Have read several from this author and enjoyed them all. Always clean with an underlying Christian theme. This involves added genres including mystery and suspense interwoven within. Kept my attention from beginning to end and without exposing any endings, would highly recommend it to those who enjoy a multi-genre-novel.

    The Captain’s Challenge is a well written story. I liked reading about how things were in the south after the civil war. I liked the characters and the dynamics between them. I liked the mystery and the intrigue. The story between Alex and Gillian was interesting as they learned and grew.
