I really enjoyed this Love inspired, Suspense. I voluntarily chose to review this story and I've given it a 5* rating. This story pulled me in fast and kept me turning the pages till the end. Lots of reference to family and the importance of sticking up for family. This had a lot of feels. It was a clean read, with a little romance, but also with a bit of violence in it. It had a nice, feel good ending. ( )

As a baby, Kendal Anderson disappeared with her mom deep into a cult while her father was deployed. Five years later, Tabitha shows up on her sister's doorstep with a girl she claims is Daniel Boone Anderson's daughter and asks Quinn to take the girl to her father. Quinn sets out to do so, but realizes she is being followed and contacts her ex-military brother August for assistance.

Boone's employer (HEART) also finds out about the lead on his daughter and asks Malone Henderson, who's vacationing nearby, to assist until others can arrive.

A cat and mouse game ensues as the group tries to keep Quinn and the little girl safe while unraveling the mystery of why she's so important.

The characters are decent and the plot drew me in quickly. I'm not sure if it's just because Quinn is the only non-trained character in the main plot (other than the child) but she makes some questionable decisions along the way--almost as if she doesn't "get" the danger that she is in or that she's putting others around her in. I do admire her determination to not be sidelined and that she speaks up for herself. ( )
