ERIN JACOBS doesn’t hesitate when she receives a desperate call in the middle of the night. As owner of the Noah’s Ark Animal Shelter, it’s her job to rescue animals. But from the start, this case is different.
The woman’s frantic plea.
Directions to a deserted hunter’s cabin.
Insistence that she come alone.
Then she’s looking down into a washtub at an infant child.
Erin’s life changes irrevocably when she becomes involved with a mother who has lost all hope, an orphaned child, millions of dollars and a father who might do anything to get his hands on the money. Social worker TRAVIS WILLIAMS is assigned to her case. Travis sees more in Erin than someone who rescues strays. She’s unconventional, strong-willed, and caring. It could be that she would make the perfect parent for Josh.
Before he can work through his feelings and file his report, the situation takes another dangerous turn. Can Erin and Travis guarantee Josh’s safety? To do so, they’ll need to rely on one another, their families, and the faith of their childhood.
Review:
Erin Jacobs enjoys her job as animal rescuer. She also enjoys running Noah’s Ark Animal Shelter. It’s a good fit because she has always felt more at ease with animals than with people. All in all, she’s pretty content, until that night when she gets a mysterious phone call that totally turns her world upside down.
Travis Williams enjoys his job as a social worker, and he takes his job very seriously. Everything is by the book. No gray areas to be found if Travis is on the case. All in all, he’s pretty content, until the day when he gets a special assignment which totally turns his world upside down.
Vannetta Chapman has once again captured the true essence of a romantic suspense. In Protected, there are equal parts romance and suspense. Neither one overshadows the other giving the story a perfect balance. On the surface Erin and Travis are worlds apart, but as the story unfolds, they are drawn to each other romantically and by a common cause. The author also blends in a lovely spiritual message of faith and new beginnings. Again, this component flows perfectly throughout the story without overshadowing. Vannetta also does an awesome job of doing her homework on the topics she writes about, which in this case is the subject of child and family welfare. Although the story is fiction, the information and facts in the story help the reader gain some background knowledge and gives more credence to the story. The results are a lovely story of faith, new beginnings, romance, suspense, and humor which will capture the reader’s attention from beginning to end. Once you pick it up, you won’t want to put it down until you’ve read every word. It’s just that good!
