Kidnapped (Previously Published As True Courage)

I wanted to try a new genre, and this was a great introduction to Christian suspense. I was pleased to find it gentler than I expected, without any horrible violence or gory details. I also was pleased that I could follow the plot. I was expecting even more twists and turns. There were certainly enough to keep the suspense high, and to keep the pages tuning late into the night, but not enough to confuse or overwhelm me. So, if you're looking for a change from historical romance, try Kidnapped.

Given how good a writer Dee is, it was no surprise this book was amazingly well written. I half expected to hear the kidnapping story on the news the night I finished it, before remembering it was fiction! She makes it feel as if you're really a part of it! While I felt like there were too many technical details at times, I loved the relationship between the two main characters and the unflinching faith they had in each other. It was captivatingly beautiful. Another great story from Dee Henderson. \\r\\n

This book is actually book four in Dee Henderson's Uncommon Heroes series. It has been repackaged as Kidnapped. \\r\\n\\r\\nI am really glad they have done this, as I always thought it didn't quite have the same vibe as the first three books in the series. Packaging it as a stand alone title makes much more sense, I think. \\r\\n\\r\\nThis book begins with a kidnapping and allows us to enter the world of intense FBI agent Luke Falcon. As a man who deals with the darker side of life on a daily basis, Luke has enough cynicism and experience to be wary of love. However, as he investigates the case, he finds himself falling for Caroline, the aunt of the kidnapped boy. Courage and self-protection war against each other for both Luke and Caroline, as they struggle to find her missing family before it is too late. \\r\\n\\r\\nThis book is very interesting and the characters incredibly believable. There are twist you won't see coming, and Henderson returns to the compelling, suspenseful style seen in Danger in the Shadows (O'Malley series, book 1). This book is definitely hard to put down, and a must-read for those who love suspense (in small doses). \\r\\n
