When searching for spiritual themes in Vanessa Riley’s new book, Madeline’s Protector, one doesn’t search long before coming upon several worthwhile strands of Christian truth.<\/p>\n

Book Cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Riley weaves a tale wherein our beloved faith emerges deeply embedded within her rollicking, action-packed tale of love’s trials. What begins as a deceptively simple conflict, spirals into a web of difficulty for the young aristocrats.<\/p>\n

Madeline St. James and Justain Delveux meet under highly stressful circumstances. Robbery, murder, peril, and compromised reputation mesh in a riveting tale dappled with otherwordly beauty.<\/p>\n

Madeline’s confidence in Providence wars against Justain’s uncertainties, as all the while Justain battles to protect her from forces just beyond sight.<\/p>\n

Misunderstandings, violence, subterfuge, and distrust forge a gauntlet which must be braved for their love to triumph.<\/p>\n

Our heroine trusts the Lord to deliver her from those who would spitefully use her, and He uses a weak mortal man, Justain to protect her virtue. As the plot unfolds, Justain’s need for a savior becomes evident to him and he joins his bride in the fold.<\/p>\n

A thoroughly satisfying read, in which Riley has a deft touch with spiritual matters.<\/p>\n

Question: Have you ever had your purse snatched, and if yes, did you give chase? (Yes, this reveals a plot twist \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
