MY REVIEW

This clean suspense story was full of drama, action, danger and romance. Rand, Kate and others are forced to run for their lives in the wild terrain, moving from one dangerous situation to another. Rand and Kate have to find a way to forgive so they can trust and help each other survive.

Plot twists and turns with lots of action throughout. Once you start reading this story, you won’t want to put it down!

I have read other books by this author and have also enjoyed them. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.

About the Author

NY Times and USA Today bestselling author CATHY MCDAVID wrote her first book at sixteen. The self-illustrated children’s story featured a young girl whose lack of responsibility nearly resulted in the demise of her pet fish. It’s quite possible the book was an autobiography, but Cathy’s not telling. She wrote her second book, and first romance, at nineteen with the help of a portable Smith Corona typewriter. One never knows how the unrequited crush on a college professor will affect their eventual career. These days, with over 57 titles and 1.6 million books in print, she still incorporates a little of her own life in each story. A lover of all things western and former avid horsewoman, her stories include riding, ranching, and rodeo because, well, who doesn’t enjoy a good cowboy romance? Mother of grown twins and married to her own real-life sweetheart, Cathy is living her dream penning heart-stopping suspense thrillers and heart-touching family dramas for Harlequin.

Rescuing the Stolen Child (Love Inspired Suspense) by Connie Queen

I have read other books by this author and I really enjoy her clean suspense books with interesting characters.

I enjoyed getting to know Lieutenant Texas Ranger Zane who ends up being teamed up with his old friend Bliss. When Zane’s grandson is kidnapped, he and Bliss race to to find the kidnapper as well as investigate an old murder case. The storyline kept me guessing from beginning to end with twist and turns that kept me interested and intrigued. I especially liked that the main characters were more mature characters since I don’t see that very often.

I really enjoyed this fast paced clean suspense drama! I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Time is running out… and a child’s life is on the line

When Lieutenant Texas Ranger Zane Adcock is attacked, he learns two shocking things: his estranged daughter has a son…and his grandson has been taken. The desperate kidnapper needs Zane to investigate an old murder case, and little Wyatt is his leverage. Zane, with help from his ex-fiancée, Bliss Walker, has days to clear a wrongly convicted inmate—or his grandson will pay the price.

From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.

About the Author
Connie Queen spent her life in Texas where she met and married her high-school sweetheart. Together they’ve raised eight children and are enjoying their grandchildren. As a child, Connie remembers her mom and sisters reading, but she preferred to be outside. It wasn’t until later, she found the joy of being whisked away into another world. Today she resides in Texas with her husband, and Murphy, her great Dane, where she’s working on her next suspense.

Lost and Found is another Amish Stoney Ridge story.

There were returning characters like Hank, David the Amish bishop add his wife Birdy, Edith and others. The first couple chapters seemed slow to me and I had a hard time staying interested in the book; but once I did I found myself involved in the story with Micah trying to find his lost friend Shelley in Tennessee and Bishop David’s dilemma with possibly moving the church.

The chapters alternated between different characters and I liked getting to know them better. It also included lots of interesting bird facts since the two main characters Micah and Trudy were considered avid birders. The story also discussed mental health, death, forgiveness and faith. I really enjoy reading books by this author!

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Trudy Yoder shares a passion for birding with Micah Weaver–and she has an even greater passion for Micah. Their friendship is finally turning romantic when Micah abruptly grows cold. Worse still, he wants to leave Stoney Ridge.

Micah Weaver thought he was over Trudy’s older sister. A year and a half ago, Shelley had broken his heart when she ran away from Stoney Ridge to pursue a singing career in Nashville. Then, out of the blue, she’s started to leave distressing phone messages for him.

When the bishop asks for volunteers to scout out a possible church relocation in Tennessee, Micah is the first to raise his hand. Despite scant details, he’s confident he can find Shelley. After all, his reputation as a field guide is based on finding birds that don’t want to be found.

What Micah doesn’t know is that what you’re looking for isn’t always what you find.

MY REVIEW

Oh my gosh this book was incredible! I could not put it done once I started reading this clean, Christian fiction. The characters were engaging and the story line kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat the entire time.

I totally sympathized with Eliza as she turned to her friend Sam when she finds herself running for her life and missing 5 years worth of memories. I liked how Sam and his family rallied around her despite their rocky past which shows what kind of person Sam was. I could not believe some of the things that Eliza experienced once she started getting her memories back. It broke my heart how evil some people can be with taking advantage and hurting others.

This was an emotional read and I can’t wait to read more of The Wright Heroes of Maine series. What a perfect start to this brand new series! Highly recommend for mature readers due to some of the emotional (non graphic) content.
