Book Thoughts

One of the things that I've come to associate with Meghann Whistler's books is how brilliantly she writes medical scenes. They are informative yet also enhance and advance the plot. In this case, I learnt about some new conditions and gained deeper empathy for those suffering from them. I love reading her books because there is so much heart behind them, along with some incredible faith-filled scenes. Brett and Valerie shine as characters and Valerie's brothers steal the show with their adorable lines and antics. Not only is this Cape Cod story a delight to read, there are some powerful truths around the effects of bullying, insecurity, and family trauma, and how God can bring healing and restoration through His power.

Alongside the swoony romance, I appreciated the detailed information around the characters' careers and the decisions they had to make. This information makes Brett and Valerie more well-rounded, and it allows readers to feel like they're connecting with colleagues and friends. I am so grateful for all of the prayers interspersed throughout the book and how they capture the essence of what the characters need most from God. If you're looking for a touching story filled with ups and downs, but also hope and generosity, Their Unlikely Protector is an excellent choice for readers who want to see how God can take the broken pieces of our hearts and turn them into something whole.

Review: The Intrepid Three - Animus Rising

How exciting that The Intrepid Three: Animus Rising by Brianna and Matthew Penfold will soon be available on July 31, 2026! This is a book that I could not stop annotating; I really have to give a lot of credit to this lovely wife-and-husband writing team for capturing so many sentiments in such a poetic way. Not only is the world building a spectacular journey on its own, the words to get us there have just as much layered meaning.
