I'm quite amazed at the number of Christian romantic suspense authors from British Columbia, making me even more keen to read as many of these books as possible. Kidnapped for Ransom is the second book by Jacqueline Adam under the Love Inspired Suspense line and it's one that will keep you up as you follow along some harrowing escapes involving the mob.

Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Book Synopsis

Abduction is only the beginning… Will murder be next?

The danger escalates when a vengeful mobster kidnaps Chelsea’s daughter and friend, demanding the stolen diamonds in exchange for their lives. To recover the gems, Chelsea joins forces with officer Matt Reynolds, whose sister has also been abducted. As they race against time, they find themselves in deadly pursuits across harsh terrain. With everything on the line, Chelsea and Matt must outsmart their enemies and unravel a web of lies…before their families pay the ultimate price.

Book Thoughts

This is a heart-pounding adventure that does not let up, even until the very last page. Jacqueline Adam is back with a thrilling chase that traverses multiple terrains and settings, taking readers along on an escape that makes you reticent to stop reading. Fighting for her survival along with her daughter's, Dr. Chelsea Eidman is tossed into confusion and horrifying circumstances, setting off the chase of her lifetime as she deals with the aftermath of a failed diamond heist. Along the way, a police officer from her youth is part of the picture, causing Chelsea's emotions to be all over the map.

I love that Matt not only provides physical protection for Chelsea but that he cares enough for her to lead her spiritually as well. By praying for her and encouraging her to give her burdens to God, they are able to work together as a team to overcome the constant threats that barrage them at every corner. Readers who enjoy high-stakes suspense with twists and turns will appreciate seeing how, through God's help and their relentless pursuit of their loved ones, Matt and Chelsea discover what it means to recover lost treasure.

Review: The Good Gift of Weakness

I am so glad that the author reached out to me about The Good Gift of Weakness: God's Strength Made Perfect in the Story of Redemption as it was exactly the book that I needed to read in this season of my life. Many thanks to Harvest House Publishers and Eric Schumacher for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis This overview of the theme of weakness in the Bible offers readers practical encouragement and hope as they learn to view their frailties as part of God’s plan and purpose for their lives. Our culture deifies strength―and sadly, the church does too. Who has the most successful ministry, the largest congregation, or the godliest family? Our misplaced faith in human strength is a false hope with no basis in Scripture. But a closer look throughout the Bible reveals the central role human frailty plays in the redemption story. From Genesis to Revelation, God’s power is made perfect when peo...
