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.devil
