Mistaken Mountain Abduction by Shannon Redmon

Mistaken Mountain Abduction (Love Inspired Suspense)
ABOUT THE BOOK

Tracking a kidnapper leads to a deadly pursuit

After her twin is abducted and mistaken for her, former army helicopter pilot Aggie Newton must move fast. She has to find her sister and figure out why  she’s become a target—even if it means working with her ex. But Detective Bronson Young knows these criminals will do anything to stop their investigation. Can they dodge deadly attacks long enough to save Aggie’s sister and expose the kidnappers?

From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.





MY THOUGHTS.....

"A child's screams pierced the cold March wind...."

Wow! Author Shannon Redmon baited the hook with these first few words and she just kept reeling me in! Aggie Newton and Bronson Young begin a desperate search for her abducted twin sister. Was Leslie the true target or is there someone wanting Aggie instead?

Thrills, chills, twists, and turns make this a book that I couldn't put down! There's intense action and constant danger but don't overlook the romance. Aggie and Bronson are both worthy of a second chance and I was rooting for them to find it together! I highly recommend Mistaken Mountain Abduction to all who enjoy romantic Christian suspense.

I received a copy of this book from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review.


My rating: 5 of 5 stars

MY THOUGHTS.....



Needing a great summer read? Grab a copy of this new contemporary women's fiction novel by Carrie Fancett Pagels! She shares a heart-tugging, soul-searching story about three families who've long called beautiful Mackinac Island their home. Rachel Dunmara's visits to Lilac Cottage and Mackinac Island have provided her comfort and safe haven, but her latest trip may not provide the sanctuary that she had hoped.

I was fully engaged with the twists, turns, and fascinating characters and I loved the inspiring messages of faith and redemption that are woven into the mysterious plot. Lilac Cottage is a winner!
