A Christian Romance set in Medieval Times
The Redeeming is
the third in Tamara Leigh's Age of Faith series, and is the best, IMHO. Both H/H are
strong and realize they can choose to act or react in such a way to control
their future happiness.
Christian, especially, is an extremely attractive protagonist, much more so than Garr or D'Arcy from the first two
books in the series. Garr is more of a strong Alpha and allowed to be so.
D'Arcy seems to be a Gamma with Alpha tendencies; Christian is an Alpha who had
to suppress that trait for years--he is tempered like a fine steel (whereas
Garr is like iron. Don't get me wrong; iron is good.).
Gaenor her heroine grows from
a reactive girl to a woman who pursues her destiny.
As with all the books in this series, the Christian element is woven into the story so as to be inseparable from it but not so "in your face" as to be proselytizing. The Redeeming is the story of people struggling with faith, just as we modern people do. In this, I praise Tamara Leigh for both her insight and her light and deft touch.
I eagerly await the next book in the series, about Abel and the healer Helene. I have already fallen in love with Everard, and I cannot imagine the situation Leigh will place him in or the woman who will be worthy of him. That is one of the great hallmarks of this series: I cannot anticipate what Leigh will have occur during her stories. (So many of the books that I read can be tracked from first event along every step in the plot and subplots. Thank you, Tamara Leigh, for actually plotting.)

The HEA is guaranteed, thank
the good Lord. Too much in our world is unresolved tragedy; I read to escape
that.
