MY THOUGHTS
Kidnapped for Ransom is written by Jacqueline Adam. This is a new to me author, but I will be looking forward to reading upcoming releases going forward. This is a Love Inspired Suspense book - so you can count on heart pounding action, lots of suspense, faith filled love, and the reminder that no matter how far you've run from God, you can always come back. Doctor Chelsea Eidman has been disgraced. When her husband, Peter dies she finds out he has been living a secret life. He is a diamond thief. One of his last big jobs was a big one - and everyone thinks that she has the missing diamonds. She has been trying so hard to clear her name. She goes to her aunt's home where she spent many of summers - and is helping it get ready to sell when she runs into her old childhood friend, Matt Reynolds. Matt is also a McMinnville Police Officer. His sister, Gabby is also in law enforcement and was Chelsea's best friend growing up. Chelsea hopes to hide out while she works to clear her name, but her husband's old partner, finds her and promises to end her if he does not get the diamonds. Factor in that that Peter and Ian are in a mess with the Albanian mob... Suddenly Gabby and Chelsea's daughter, Lynelle are kidnapped. This book starts off with so much heart pounding action. I read this book all in one sitting because I had to know what happened. I really loved the characters. Chelsea was clueless about her deceased husband's shenanigans. She just wants to keep her daughter safe. This book is well written, and the storyline is engaging. I hope to read more from this author. Thank you to the author, publisher and JustRead Publicity Tours for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.

MY THOUGHTS
Missing at Christmas is written by Deena Alexander. This is part of the Jameson Investigations Series. I have not read all the books in the series, and I did not have any issues following along. I am a huge fan of this author. She always writes such realistic characters. In this story, we meet Lexi McKenna. She receives a call from her sister - and when she gets to her sister's house, she finds her sister murdered. There's a bigger problem - one of her nieces is missing.
That is when Lexi's past comes rearing to a head. Lexi's dad is a notorious mob boss. Her father wanted her to be his heir - but she wanted nothing to do with it. Lexi teams with Noah Thompson, a former NYPD cop, now works for Jameson Investigations. Unfortunately his brother was killed by Lexi's dad. The more they dig - the more they realize that this is about rival crime families.
I loved the heart pounding action and suspense in this book. The author grabs your attention the first few pages and will not let you go until the end of the story. The characters are flawed and have their inner struggles.
Thank you to the author, publisher and Great Escape Virtual Book Tours, for allowing me to read a copy of this story - all thoughts are my own.
