Description from Goodreads: “Reeling from a negotiation gone wrong, FBI Special Agent April Ramos is caught off guard when a frazzled young woman shoves a crying baby into her arms, then disappears. Worry for the child’s safety quickly turns to fear when a man claiming to be the girl’s father abducts them at gunpoint. April puts her hostage negotiation skills to use to learn more about who she’s dealing with: Jason Snyder, a fugitive accused of murder.
As Jason spins a tall tale about being framed for the killing of his business partner, April must sort through his claims to find the truth. A truth that becomes all the more evident after April overhears a conversation between Jason and the local sheriff and realizes something more sinister may be happening in their small town of Sweet Briar, Texas. But aligning herself with a known fugitive to uncover the burden of proof could cost April her job . . . or worse, her life and the lives of other innocent people.”
Review: This book drew me in from the first page and it held me tight through the entire book. The plot was interesting and intense with the corrupt police, a man fighting for his innocence, and a woman caught in between.
These characters were so well written and complex. I loved trying to figure out what was really going on and who was corrupt. I felt like I was April’s partner, trying to get the facts straight. It was a blast!
Recommendation: I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Romantic Suspense.
