A Beautiful Story Filled with Mystery! --"When You Rescued Me" by Sian Ann Bessey—Review


 

My Review:

"When You Rescued Me" by Sian Bessey is a beautiful story filled with mystery, redemption, history, and romance! Ms. Bessey’s books do not disappoint!  You can always tell she does a great deal of research, and I learned a lot about the setting of this book (London 1776). I especially loved learning about the beginnings of Bow Street and that the Blind Beak (one of the characters in the story) was a real person. I love that our hero and heroine meet as children, and that short meeting changes their lives. They then meet again twelve years later and join up to solve an investigation and catch a criminal. The mystery aspect was such a great part of the story. The romance was sweet and clean. There are wonderful messages of redemption, justice, mercy, and compassion. I love that the characters learn that it is not our place to issue ultimate judgment and that God offers forgiveness, so we also are to forgive. I recommend this wonderful story to lovers of sweet romance with a dash of intrigue and mystery!

Content: I give this a G rating. See the trigger warning below for examples of the content.

TW: orphan.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
