Walking the line between danger and love!

Kidnapped in the dead of night!

Grace Ramsey is horrified when she realizes her six-year-old son Caleb has been snatched from his bed at midnight. The only man who can help her now is FBI Agent Brady Finnegan, Caleb's biological father. She had good reasons for keeping Caleb a secret, and while Brady does not agree, they decide that the main priority is to find Caleb and bring him home.

Brady is furious to learn he's been betrayed by the woman he once loved, but manages to thrust those feelings aside in order to find the missing boy. As he and Grace follow one lead after another, his anger and resentment fades and they grow closer together in their shared mission. They can't go back and change the past, but they can rebuild their future, if they can find Caleb in time....

I enjoyed the written book more.

I enjoyed the written book a great deal, but I didn't enjoy the audible nearly as much. Grace, the main female character, got on my last nerve. She was so annoying. The performance is good. There is lots of suspense and the ending is very happy.

Another annoying demanding female lead.

What has happened to women in fiction? In Christian fiction? Why are so many female leads so demanding of their own way in so many of the books I've read lately?
They sound like whiney entitled adolescent little girls who act whatever way they want- and the men around them think they are simply irresistible and glorious. No matter how unacceptable their behavior would be in any situation approximating real life.

I know "all the rage" is to write characters with flaws. I think it's one thing to be flawed, To be broken by life, and struggling with the imperfect in ourselves, and another thing entirely to throw a fit every time the poor weak male lead disagrees with them.

This is the 4th book in this series, not to mention how many scores of books in this genre that I've read lately. And I remain totally confounded that these ladies would be held up as the main pivotal point to a meaningful story. These women demand their way. People even get hurt and die because they've ignored any little bit of wisdom suggested to them and continued to demand their way. Then the poor testosterone-inhibited sap has the nerve to"fall in love" with them and perpetuate the female's bad behavior. Oy. It can be nothing other than their incredibly good looks that draws these silly heroic men to them and then lets the "ladies" continue to survive in their very fictional world.

Come on, you mighty, influential Christian authors! Can't we do better?

Thank you for reading. I'm not hating. I'm just tired of spending my money on this.
