Summary

Book Title: The Noble Guardian
Book Author: Michelle Griep
What do you like about this book:
"Nothing that happened took God by surprise or was beyond His reach to heal. She'd cling to that. She must."
Abigail Gilbert desperately needs a guardian; her stepmother has just dismissed her and her future to a guardian-less carriage, destined to travel over some of the most dangerous territory in England; the Hounslow Heath; where highwaymen linger, and one small misstep could write one's epitaph. She must press forward; her intended, an earl, awaits her arrival.
Captain Samuel Thatcher is weary; nearing the end of of his commission as a Bow Street Runner he longs to retire and become a simple farmer with a quiet life, far away from wickedness and thievery and the despicable Shankhart Robbins. Yet, he finds himself traipsing before and behind the coach of a lovely, stubborn, persistent, little spitfire of a woman who is determined to meet her Maker by travelling alone.
It was with great fondness that Samuel Thatcher's story unfolded. The most infamous of the author's three runners, he seemed to prefer the shadows over limelight and honor over acclaim, believing that "the likes of him" could never measure up to what the heart of another might need or require. That was about to change, and this reader enjoyed every minute of it!
I received a copy of this book from the author. The opinions stated are entirely my own.
