Her Christmas Protector
"IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU, NO ONE WILL."Those words from her abusive ex-husband sent Faith Delange fl eeing from everything familiar. And when a bus dropped her off in the small town of Sisters, Oregon, Faith immediately found room, board and a job on an isolated ranch. But she couldn't tell her handsome new boss, Luke Campbell, what had her jumping at shadows during the joy of the holiday season-or what kept her out of his arms. She'd only put his and his frail mother's lives at stake. Faith feared her past would never let her go. But neither would Luke.

Faith Delange ran from her abusive ex-husband. Terrified that he might find her, she sought refuge in a rural Oregon community where she met Luke Campbell, who became her protector.
This book is your typical Christian romance! A good read if you like the genre, but I didn't find it particularly exciting.

I'm not sure why it took so long to finish this book because I really liked it! Part of the reason may have been that I knew something terrible was going to happen & I didn't want it to.
Faith is fleeing from her previous life, especially from her abusive ex-husband. She finally lands in a small town in Oregon and the timing is perfect because Luke Campbell is looking for a companion for his mother.

Her Christmas Protector
A bit different from her last book but still as action packed. Faith, a wealthy socialite from NewYork was on the run from her abusive ex-husband when she ran into a rancher named Luke who was on leave from the army. His mother had had a heart attack and he hired Faith to care for her. Faith agreed, thinking it would be a good hiding place. Many twists and turns follow that prove to be faith strengthening.
Great book! You’re going to love it!

Another title might be Saved at Christmas
A good story. A couple of not quite believable parts. I did not deduct for the absence of dividers between change of scene. These are really needed as some scenes had the same characters but were completely separated from the previous scenes.

Wonderful novel!
Terri Reed did a great job on this Christmas book! Faith meets Luke at a restaurant outside town as she got off a bus. She ends up wanting to go to his home to take care of his mother. Very good! Jeanette Stracner

2.5 Stars for Her Christmas Protector
Plot and Issues
Well this book had a lot of potential and for the most part...it was mostly okay. Well I enjoyed the premise of the book there were some things I unfortunately can't help but complain about. While I mostly enjoy reading the lovely fluff that is Love Inspired Suspense romance despite the religious aspect....this one kind of took it to the next level. By page 63 I had actually already lost count of times the characters prayed to, thought about, spoke about, what about god. The book was flooded with it. Which I don't mind so much because some of it was actually well placed and well written. However by page 150-ish I was a little miffed about the fear-awe talk that took place....just no. Leave the religious educational bit/ age old argument out of your book please.
On the upside by page 63 we had two bad guys (in my opinion)!!! that was nice. Oh and Faith (main gal) had already fainted and woken up wanting to kiss a guy (main man Luke) when they had only met 2 days before.
Next problem, what is with these people always only knowing each other for a few weeks and then going "I love you sooooo much! Marry me!!!" "Why, yes. Yes. YES I'll marry you (think Men in Tights for the line)." It bothers me...a lot.
In Conclusion
Nice fluff read that is heavily garnished with religious teachings/beliefs/arguments. Ignoring that and the rushed proposal, not a bad read. Good for when you have nothing pressing to do but don't really want to have to think too much.

This was a relly good book. I did not know how her ex-husband was going to get to her. I liked all the characters. I would read it again.

This fiction book is good to read close to Christmas because of the setting. The main characters, Faith and Luke, deal with circumstances that are quite common today.

Love the story plot of domestic abuse portrayed here, how Faith was so desperate to disappear and a chance encounter with Luke and his mother, Dottie changed everything.
