O...MG! The book Redeeming Love isindescribable. Its on a shelf all by itself. I never thought I would read a Christian love story and say it was one of the best books I ever read, I need smut and alphas mixed with a little emotional angst and then more smut and that is a good book or even a great book to me. RL had zero smut although definitely adult themes such as rape, prostitution, adultery. The hero Michael was godlike with a gentle forgiving heart, no rake-like qualities in sight. There definitely was lots of emotional heartbreaks, by page 40 my chest ached from the huge lump in my throat, I had no idea how I was going to get through the next 430 pages, but the story is so incredible and inspirational that it will stick with me for a long, long time. It was thought provoking, heart wrenching, and deeply moving.
The heroine, Angel, went by many names throughout the story depending on her reactions to her life events and trials. Angel has a life that is worse than hell, her father wishes she was aborted, her mother dies at a young age causing Angel to be sold into prostitution at the age of 8. She is so degraded, she rejects God, feels she is an empty shell and wants to die by the age of 18. Enter Michael, a human angel, sent to her by God to give Angel his unconditional love, marry her and show her the way back home. He was so perfect that every time Angel made a stupid decision you wished you could shake some sense into her because Michael loved her so passionately and didnt deserve all the pain Angel caused him.
Though it is a religious story and there are a lot of references to the bible I did not feel it was preachy, just tender and beautiful. The last 50 pages did get a little deeper in the religious undertones, but I was okay with it because the moral of the story was so great and uplifting. I cant recommend this book enough, dont let the Christian theme turn you off, and this is coming from a person who loves erotica and bodice rippers.
