This is the first book in Lynette's Women of Justice series. She's written some Love Inspired Suspense, but this is the first long book of hers that I've read. I liked it.
The scenes in the villain's point of view were creepy and informative and amped up the suspense.
I liked both the heroine and the hero, probably Samantha a bit more than Connor, but even Connor's way of dealing with problems — running — didn't bother me too much because I knew he was going to have to get over it and grow from his issues. Which he did.
And the topic — hmm — I've not read a book dealing with growing black-market babies for adoption, so I'm saying it is current and powerful.
Be prepared for the secondary characters to engage you enough to want to buy book 2.![]()
