Now this is a cozy book meant for autumn! Susan L. Tuttle was a featured author in the Clearly Christian Readathon in 2024, so I'm grateful that I finally have the opportunity to read one of her books.
A Secret Worth Protecting is a suspenseful and sweet fall romance that will have you wanting to already decorate your house with pumpkins and throw blankets. I'm looking forward to future titles from the author!
Many thanks to Harlequin Books and NetGalley for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
Book Synopsis
One season. Two darling girls.
And a past he thought he lost forever…
Being in witness protection with twin little girls is the least of Sam Cooper’s problems. Right now, he desperately needs a nanny. But he’s stunned when the candidate who shows up on his doorstep is Ansley Tait, the girl he once loved…and left brokenhearted. Sam knows Ansley is everything the sweet—and adorably energetic—twins need. But protecting his family has to come first. Because one tiny slip about his true identity could mean disaster. Another move. Another town. And most of all, walking away from the only woman he’s ever truly loved…

Book Thoughts
There is more to Sam Cooper than meets the eye, and that extends beyond his twin daughters, Olive and Jane. With Sam bearing the heavy burden of keeping their identities under wraps, it's not surprising that he is in desperate need of help for himself and his family. I really enjoy how this contemporary romance offers a touch of suspense that had me eager to see how the Coopers would fare. In meeting Ansley and getting to know her past, it reinforces how nothing is a coincidence with God in this story. Seeing her and Sam work together is heartwarming and long overdue.
The message of God wiping our slates clean after coming to Him in repentance is not easy to live out; however, we are not alone in being able to live in His freedom and forgiveness. Sam and Ansley need to apply this truth to their lives every day, so it's a joy to see them spur each other on toward better understanding and receiving God's good gifts. There are so many tangible allusions to this in Sam's relationship with his daughters and in Ansley's relationship with her sister. If you're looking for a book that delves into the ramifications of hiding your identity while being made new in Christ, A Secret Worth Protecting is worth picking up.
