About the Book Rescuing You

Book: Rescuing You

Author: Robin Patchen

Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

Release Date: January 9, 2024

A heart-pounding tale of danger and devotion, the riveting second instalment of the Wright Heroes of Maine series by a USA Today bestselling author.

CIA agent Michael Wright’s world crumbles when his girlfriend, Leila, is snatched off the street and later seen in the grasp of a terrorist he’s been tracking, Michael blames himself. Keeping his identity secret from her clearly didn’t protect her. Now he must defy the Agency and fly to Iraq to rescue her.

Leila Amato escaped Iraq a decade earlier, only returning in her worst nightmares. But those nightmares have come true when she finds herself captive and all alone, or so she thinks until she sees her identical twin sister.

Michael tracks Leila to a desert compound, but his rescue mission goes awry when he discovers her sister needs to escape as well. His detailed strategy can only ensure one woman’s safety. Now they’re on the run, trying to get out of the country before their enemies track them down.

But Leila’s kidnapping is only one small part of a larger plot—one that endangers thousands of lives—and now he can’t trust anyone. Not even the woman who’s stolen his heart. A woman who’s been keeping secrets of her own…

A high-stakes international chase full of romantic suspense, spies, and a ticking time bomb that will keep you reading all night long.

My Thoughts on Rescuing You

What if your whole life is a lie?  Well, maybe not your entire life, but you’re not actually truthful with those you care about or your family.  And what if the woman you love just disappears?  Is it related to your job?  Did she turn on you?  Does she have information she can use against you?

Leila disappeared.  Michael is determined to find her.  Even as his CIA team and boss tell him to stand down.  As he races to find her and free her from her kidnappers he learns a lot.  A lot about himself and a lot about her.  But also he learns a lot about his team and what it means to truly rely on God and rely on others.  On what it means to truly be a team. 

This novel is intense! 

It reads super fast.  I wanted to see what comes next but I didn’t want to finish it and have my characters gone.  You see, they’re more than just characters, they’re friends.  Some are old friends from other novels by this author.  Some are new friends that I met in this novel.  And I can tell others will become friends as we learn more about them in the next novel. 

That’s the problem though!  I’m ready for the next novel on the next Wright brother but it’s not out yet!  So frustrating to wait but I know it will be worth it. 

Having said that, you do need to read book one before reading this one.  It’ll give you some background.  While you could read this one as a stand-alone novel you’d be missing out!   Oh, and there is at least one other book that features the Wright brothers in a different series that you might want to read as well.  Oh goodness.  Just go and read everything you can get your hands on from this author!  You will not regret it!

I really want to share everything about this book with you. 

But if I do that you’ll know all the secrets and not want to read the book.  And you really need to read the book.  So here are a few key points that you’re only gonna learn about by reading the book.  Leila’s father is involved in her kidnapping!  Gasp!  Yes, it’s true!  She has another family member involved, and let’s just say he’s a super bad guy.  And then there’s the other family member that you’ll actually enjoy meeting. 

So much!  There is just so much to learn about Leila and her life/family in this novel.

About the Author of Rescuing You

Robin Patchen is a USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of Christian romantic suspense. She grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, the setting of her Nutfield Saga books, and then headed to Boston to earn a journalism degree. After college, working in marketing and public relations, she discovered how much she loathed the nine-to-five ball and chain.

After relocating to the Southwest, she started writing her first novel while she homeschooled her three children. The novel was dreadful, but her passion for storytelling didn’t wane. Thankfully, as her children grew, so did her writing ability.

Now that her kids are adults, she has more time to play with the lives of fictional heroes and heroines, wreaking havoc and working magic to give her characters happy endings. When she’s not writing, she’s editing or reading, proving that most of her life revolves around the twenty-six letters of the alphabet.

More from Robin

I spent a week this year serving refugee women on the Greek island of Lesvos. Along with helping to distribute food and clothing, I gave hand massages. It seems like such a little thing, but it was powerful.

Many didn’t speak English, and I found it difficult to connect even with those who did. What do I have in common with women escaping war or oppression?

But I could perch on a tiny stool at their feet and rub lotion on their hands. I didn’t know their stories, but God did. So while they chatted with friends in languages I couldn’t understand, I prayed silently. As I did, God stirred in me a deep love for each one.

Imagine the courage it must take to leave everything you know—your home, your community, in some cases, even your family—to seek freedom. Imagine how desperate or afraid or, frankly, hopeful a person must be to attempt it.

The heroine in Rescuing You did just that. An Iraqi who came to Christ as a teenager, Leila feared her family would discover her secret and felt she had no choice but to run away. Resettled in Germany, away from her mother, father, and twin sister, she built a life for herself and fell in love.

And then someone snatched her back to Iraq.

Rescuing You is about a man determined to save the woman he loves. It’s about a woman willing to risk everything for the freedom to…

…Love the man she chooses

…Live a life of purpose, and mostly…

…Worship the One True God

It’s easy to take our freedom for granted—and to forget that true and lasting freedom isn’t political or social but spiritual. Christians are free in Christ no matter what their society looks like.

But what an incredible blessing to live in a free country.

Rescuing You barely scratches the surface of the refugee crisis. It’s mostly about a man and a woman and whole bunch of terrifying villains. Even so, I pray it’ll stir in you a deep love for refugees seeking freedom worldwide. Pray for them and for the nations they’ve escaped. Our world needs Jesus.
