When his daughter’s taken,
getting her back is all that matters.

FBI Agent Tristan McAvoy just learned he’s a father—but his little girl’s been abducted by his enemies, and he’s caught in a deadly shoot-out the moment he tries to rescue her. He barely flees unscathed with his ex, Avery Taylor, and his K-9 partner in tow. The criminals have a deadly agenda—if Tristan testifies at an upcoming trial for a major crime boss, he’ll never see his child again. Stranded in the mountain wilderness, Tristan and Avery are trailed by ruthless mercenaries, who are closing in. Can they survive long enough to save their daughter—or will they be silenced forever?

Seeking the Kidnapped Child by Deena Alexander has the right amount of suspense, with quite a twist.

Will Tristan and Avery get their daughter back?

Avery Taylor

Our heroine is Avery; she is a single mom who loves her daughter so much. Avery’s life hasn’t been easy, losing her parents, then taking care of her grandfather after he got cancer, and of course, having the love of her life walk away from her. Even with all of that, Avery shows great compassion and love for most people. She even forgave Tristan for leaving her when she really needed him.

I really like Avery, and I know that she would make a great friend.

Tristan McAvoy

Our hero is Tristan. However, at the beginning I really doubted that, but as we got to see his side and how much he really cares for Avery and Lily. I was swayed. Although at times I really wanted to smack him. I ended up liking him and hoping that these two young parents wouldn’t screw it up again.

The Mystery

Tristan is set to testify about a child kidnapping ring, and they want to stop him from doing that. So, their grand plan is to kidnap his daughter, because that one always works. However, Avery and Tristan are not giving up. The ringleader’s reach is long and full. She has people that the FBI team doesn’t even know about yet. They even started a fire on the mountain where Tristan and Avery were trying to escape. They are supposed to be so smart, but their need for revenge is stronger.

Five Stars

My rating for Seeking the Kidnapped Child by Deena Alexander is five stars. Ms. Alexander does a fantastic job keeping the story moving and the pressure on the couple. I recommend this book to all the inspirational romantic suspense readers out there.
