Vanessa will fight to rescue her sister. Caleb will fight to protect Vanessa. But Abbas has evil plans for them all.
Former human trafficking victim Vanessa Baker wants nothing more than to raise her daughter in safety. But when she learns that her sister, Nadia, is in trouble, Vanessa can’t ignore it. Nadia’s captor is a man who once owned and abused Vanessa, and she’ll risk everything to see … and she’ll risk everything to see her sister freed.
Soon after Vanessa stepped into Caleb Peterson’s life, he knew she was the one God intended him to marry. Never mind that she loathes him, never mind her accusing eyes and her angry disposition, Caleb has tried for years to prove himself trustworthy—efforts Vanessa has only spurned and rejected. When he discovers her plan to take on an evil man from her past, Caleb will help her, whether she wants his help or not.
But Vanessa has once again put herself squarely in Abbas’s sights. And it looks like he won’t let anyone—not the irritating sister or the pushy boyfriend—get in the way of his plans.

There is no such thing as a good man – only evil ones!
Vanessa loves her little house in Nutfield, New Hampshire even if it is tiny and not furnished with expensive items. She and her daughter Kat have a good life now but Vanessa is ruled by the fear and suspicions that govern her life. She knows the evil of men and will never let it touch her daughter or herself again. But the evil is still stalking her, using her younger sister to pull her in, and is determined to destroy everyone she loves. Only God can save and protect her now. She has to accept the help of Caleb, a good man but a man nonetheless, and all men are evil in her mind.
Caleb has known Vanessa for several years and has never met a woman more determined to dislike him. She is beautiful but prickly and although their mutual friends encourage him to have patience it is hard for him to see his place in her life that God has assured him is there.
This book really took me on an emotional roller coaster. Vanessa had so much to overcome if she was going to find happiness because of her childhood experiences. My hopes would soar and then would plummet sometimes within a page or two. This is another excellent book in the Legacy series. I am sorry to see this series come to a close with this book. If you haven’t read the other books in the series I definitely recommend all of them.
What a way to end a series !!!!
True to this author’s style, this is another page turner, another plot line that keeps you on edge. Once again, Robin Patchen weaves suspense and romance together without all the filler scenes of bedroom antics or cursing. She concentrates on the plot line to keep the reader intrigued. And wow, intriguing it is.
Vanessa has stared evil in the face and doesn’t hesitate to go after him … yes, I said him. Abbas is cruel and not about to allow Vanessa to interfere in this agenda. Ahhhh, but Vanessa is strong in mind, determined in spirit and refuses to give up. Abbas now has her sister, Nadia, and that is something that Vanessa simply won’t back away from. She’ll do whatever it takes to free Nadia from the clutches of Abbas. The only problem is, Abbas has even more sinister, despotic plans for Vanessa too.
However, Vanessa, herself a past victim of human trafficking, has someone powerful on her side. And yes, Caleb Peterson is powerful in his own right because his love for Vanessa comes from a power from above. Caleb knows G_d brought them together …. and Abbas may look like he’s winning the battle …. but the battle is a far cry from the war. Light vs darkness …. once light enters a dark room, that darkness is weakened. Here, Abbas is the dark. He’s a ruthless man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. But Vanessa has the LIGHT penetrating. Soooo, can the dark Abbas really win? There is a time and a season for everything. It’s time for Abbas’ to see some truth.
OBSERVATIONS:
There will be really scary moments, as the pages you read are raw and gritty.
Make sure you follow the character development. It will help you see and find the clues within the pages. And this being the last of the Nutfield saga, everything and everyone finds their place.
And yes, there is forgiveness and love.
I’ve said this before, but I always keep wondering how on earth this author can follow up with a better book. Well, maybe better is the wrong word. It just seems that perfection is hard to improve upon. But, Robin always seems to bring that same grit and hope to everything she writes.
I loved this book. Did not want it to end. Read it slow not to miss anything. The development of the lead characters is just phenomenal. The real beauty of all of the Nutfield sagas is the development of the complex and authentic characters in each. There is also plenty of intrigue to keep you on edge and not wanting to put the book down. Robin has a gift that I don’t see often. She has a depth of insight into the nature of the people she writes about. Do yourself a favor and get this book and any of the others you may have missed in the series. And take your time to savor the richness and very real experience you encounter as you read.
When Vanessa get a phone call from her sister Nadia she knows it means danger. She is with Abbas, and he has unfinished business with her. Can she trust Caleb to help her save her sister and keep her daughter safe? God will guide them to find freedom, forgiviness and love again. A great novel to end a great saga.
This is the last installment of the Nutfield Saga series and it doesn’t hold back any tension, thrills, or the yin and yang of relationships.
While reading this book I felt the exhilaration Vanessa felt as she grew in her faith and learned to trust despite dire situations from her past. Concern that Caleb experienced in some tense moments was captured in the pages quite well. And, what a storyline!
I had to finish it in a couple of days, I was too impatient to wait to see how it ended. Robin Patchen closed the series with a lightning-fast read. What a finale!
I received this book from the publisher and was under no obligation to post nor write a review.
Human trafficking is a subject that we often don’t want to know about and/or have a limited awareness. But, it is a real and present danger in our world, our nation and our community and this book deals with it in a thoughtful and tasteful way and still presents the magnitude and lasting effects of those who experience it. This story shows a beautiful plan for redemption and restoration as Caleb is called to patiently help and come alongside Vanessa. The books is filled with wonderful characters that we have come to know in previous books in this series and I, personally, am going to miss them but … I realize I can reread the books – they are that good. Even if you haven’t read the previous books in this series, this book stands alone and you will find you want to read the others. Highly recommend!
Wow! This book is really amazing. It really deals with some tough issues. It has a great message of hope in Christ. There is romance and suspense in this one. Vanessa was a villain in a previous book but through Christ she is a new creation. Caleb is a man who loves the Lord and who has felt that Vanessa was the one God wanted for him, even though she hasn’t shown much interest in him. He doesn’t give up and he helps her when he can, even if it means putting his own life in danger. This is one of those books that you won’t be able to put down until you are finished and make sure you have some tissues handy.
REDEEMED…..Robin Patchen
Float had been designed, looking like giant food containers, as the director of the food bank, she still didn’t want to ride on this float. Her daughter Kat did riding on top of a tomato can. Vanesa did not want to be on display, did not want to be comfortable, that only leads to pain, turmoil and even danger for her. A daughter too beautiful, the urge to hide her, they were safe here.
Caleb was on the board, asking for a date, a meal, or a church meeting, no man would ever be in her life again. For Caleb, he felt God had chosen Vanessa for him, one problem, she loathed him.
A call from her sister, hadn’t heard from her in ages, her words brought the past back, she’d rather forget. A sister she wanted now to rescue.
Strong plot as you read, you could feel the tension, the pain, always watching that Vanessa is doing. A definite winner for me, and series.
Given arc for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
Each book in Patchen’s Nutfield Saga has provided a wonderful reading experience. The suspense stories are both fresh and intense. The town of Nutfield, New Hampshire becomes one readers will want to visit, and the characters ones they will want to meet. Legacy Redeemed continues the saga with the same high quality writing. I recommend this author whenever asked about my favorite mystery and suspense writers.
Legacy Redeemed revisits the theme of human trafficking, highlighting the deep woulds inflicted on the hearts and souls of children, the desperation of families in poverty, and the amazing healing that the Spirit of God can bring. Patchen skillfully portrays the evil without infringing on the boundaries of Christian fiction. She displays the hearts of the victims without diminishing their humanity. She does this while weaving a tale of suspense that grips her readers’ attention, and holds it fast. I am grateful to have received a copy of Legacy Redeemed from the author. I was under no obligation to write a positive review, and received no monetary compensation. A opinions stated here are my own.
