Can Opal fill the hole in the Commander's heart? Can the Commander get Opal to see how worthy she is?
Opal Whilstead
Opal Whilstead is our female lead character, and she is a great character. She has some significant flaws going for her and a desire to have a family while not divulging why she doesn't have one. Opal doesn't seem to mind living the life of a spinster even if she wants a husband and a family. I love a lot of things about her, and a lot of them are spoilers so that I won't say, but Opal is an excellent character that despite what she can't do Opal does things that fulfill her in a way that other items do to some women back in this period.
Commander Alexander
Commander Exemplar Staid Alexander is the father to the new King of their country because his wife was the Queen. He has holed himself away for two years because of a fear of his own that I can't disclose (spoilers again), but he does change throughout the novel. Staid is a great father to all of his kids and wants what is best for them. He is another excellent character that grows with the book, and Staid is better with Opal by his side.
Five Stars
Ms. Keels has another excellent book on her hands with this one. I love Reviving the Commander by Nadine C. Keels; I couldn't put it down even though I didn't want to read it to fast. On that note, it's getting a five-star rating, and I'm recommending it to anyone that loves historical romances that have some royalty.
