“She was keeping secrets, but he was too. And he wasn’t ready to reveal his.”

Honestly, I fell in love with one of Robin Patchen’s books about another Wright brother, so I knew I had to read the stories of the other brothers as they are launched in this series, The Wright Brothers of Maine. Rescuing You is the second book of the series, and features the story of Michael and Leila. Michael, an undercover CIA agent in Germany, is horrified to find his girlfriend has been kidnapped by Vortex, the terrorist he is trailing.

Leila is a native Arab who left Islam to turn to Jesus. Her captors would not treat her well for defecting from the faith, their perception of a Middle Eastern woman’s role, or her first escape into Germany. Michael chomps at the bit when histeam leader, Brock, asks him to remove himself from the situation and let the team handle it.

Explosions, daring escapes, and shoot-outs up the suspense ante. Ruthless, strategic terrorists and a sick twin complicate matters. As does the fact that Michael does not stand down as told, nor does Leila like to be given commands without knowing ‘why.’

Secrets. This novel is all about secrets and trust. Both Michael and Leila hold dangerous secrets, and both need to learn to trust God and other people if they are to survive. There were a few times each I wanted to sit Michael and Leila down and “straighten them out, but good!”

Rescuing You is a novel that will also have you thinking about what some immigrants are willing to endure to reach our shores. By the end of the book, you’ll be looking to tie up a few loose ends and read more of the Wright brothers’ stories, starting with Bryan’s adventures in Finding You.

I received a copy of the book from Celebrate Lit. I also bought my own ecopy. No positive review was required, and all opinions are my own.

Notable Quotables:

“But in his arrogance—and his fear—he’d gone it alone. As he so often did. And because of that, he’d lost…everything.”

“Hope seemed lost, but God was a God of hope, wasn’t He?” ( )

If you are looking for action with a taste of danger and intrigue look no further. The author has delivered exactly that with much more which makes for an adrenaline rush of a read. I love books that delve into characters who find themselves in danger and must rely on their strength and faith to survive.

Michael is a very strong character who has kept his identity a secret from the woman he has been dating. When she is kidnapped he knows he must go save her. I think he blames himself for her situation and will ignore the warnings of his boss in order to save her.

Leila finds herself whisked across the sea to another country. To her surprise her twin sister is there also. Can you imagine their surprise when they see each other? The two must work together in order to survive. After a phone called is placed, Michael is on his way to recuse the woman he has fallen for. He has a big surprise waiting when he doesn’t have one but two women to recuse.

There are intense moments in the book which made me want to read faster. I appreciate the faith element in the book and the characters never wavered in their trust to God. The book is definitely a hard pounding story with, secrets, twists and an exciting ending.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion. ( )

Rescuing You by Robin Patchen is a Christian Romantic Suspense novel. This book is the second book in The Wright Heroes of Maine series. CIA agent Michael Wright finds his world crumbling after his girlfriend Leila gets snatched off the secret.

The pair has secrets they are both keeping. But those secrets eventually come to light as the storyline develops. Leila escaped from Iraq 10 years earlier, but now she finds herself held hostage there again by her father, his brother, and the evil man they want her to marry. Meanwhile, Michael defies the CIA in order to rescue Leila.

The author takes you through twists and turns that help build the suspense throughout this entire book. Michael and his family help make this book interesting to read. I found myself unable to put it down. I can not wait to read the next book in the series.

While you probably could read this book on its own, I recommend reading the books to gain a greater appreciation of the characters.

So if you enjoy works of Christian Romantic Suspense, check out Rescuing You by Robin Patchen for yourself.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own. ( )

Rescuing You, by Robin Patchen, is book two in the Wright Heroes of Maine. This story takes of running right at the start and the action doesn't stop until the end of the story. I enjoyed reading this well written story as it was detailed and easy to imagine. The main characters in the story are likable, strong people who will do anything to help those they love. However, Michael and Leila have developed a strong relationship with many untold truths of their families, personal and professional lives.
This story has so much action that I was kept reading to find out what was going to happen next. I enjoyed the parts of the story that told of the sisters' upbringing, how the men in their family acted toward the women and how their Christian faith had to be kept secret. I especially enjoy the Wright family get together as we see the whole family and how they react with each other.
I voluntarily received a complimentary copy of this story, this is my honest review. ( )

I am a longtime fan of Robin Patchen. This is her best book yet! I can only imagine the research that went into preparing to write Rescuing You, the latest installment in her The Wright Heroes of Maine series. This book has a multi-nation setting, and follows Michael Wright's mission to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend who is of Iraqi descent. The story is truly action-packed, original, and unpredictable. While romantic suspense stories often lack realism, this story as a sense of authenticity, which I greatly appreciate. The theme of trust, trusting God and trusting others to have our best interest at heart is well-developed against a backdrop of danger. Robin includes just the right amount of romance, never overwhelming the suspense.

I give this book five stars, and am grateful to have received a complimentary copy from the author without obligation. ( )
