An urgent call from a brother former Secret Service agent Angelina Harding hadn't seen in years brought her thousands of miles to Australia. Only to find him gone. And it was only with the help of his friend David Lemming that she had a hope of finding him.
This is part of related books and it was a long time ago I read Shelter in The Storm, it may be worth reading that book first to understand more of Angelina.
Angelina Harding has flown to Australia to see her brother for the first time in 15 years. They had lived with an abusive uncle and her brother had become an Christian and then came to Australia to be a missionary. When Angelina ran away from her uncle and came to her brother at 16 he told her she had to go back. Her uncle was mean and abusive and she ran away again but hatred filled her towards her brother and his God. That is why she did not see him in all those years.
Now Marcus has called and said he needed to talk to her. She had been in the Secret Service but now she worked with friends in a security business in Louisiana.
She is picked up at the airport by two men who say her brother sent her, she soon realizes they are going the wrong way. She escapes from the car and gets David Lemming to help her.
A story about past hates and hurts, kidnapping, weapons and even love. It is a great suspense story and has some great turns where you think your headed one way and it goes another.
I did not relate to any of these characters. Cheryl is rude, bitter, ungrateful and David is a rich man who finds that appealing when he states it was "love at first sight". Blah! Religon is harshly given and "stuffed down the throat" instead of teaching with inspiration and Guidance. The plot is also is lacking. Thankfully this book only take a few of hours to read - but even that was too much. I have read other books by Cheryl Wolverton and enjoyed them. Sadly, this is not one of them.
Colorful,exciting characters carry us through an exotic romantic adventure that braves sharing a Christian message so powerful it can be used as a tool to bring people to Christ! David represents a man of character who isn't afraid to follow his faith even while pursuing a woman who questions his every motive. This book will stay in my permanent collection as one of my all-time favorites.
