About this ebook
International Retrieval Organization Agent Lela Ortiz is assigned the kidnapping case of businessman, Chuck Davenport. When her boss allows Chuck's brother-in-law to assist, Lela accepts the help with reservations, especially when Jay Vashon, prays to God at the most inopportune times.
Jay would do anything to help bring his brother-in-law home, even work with hesitant Agent Ortiz. As Jay helps Lela decipher the clues sent to Chuck's special-needs son, Jay begins to fall for the feisty IRO agent.
Can Jay break through the barrier Lela has constructed around her heart? Will Lela be able to overcome her distrust of men and God? And what of Chuck? Can the pair locate him before the ransom deadline?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5People always let her down. How could she relinquish control when she only felt safe if she held the reins?Lela Ortiz is a private investigator with the International Retrieval Organization (IRO). Having been with them for several years, she is experienced and used to making split-second decisions. A kidnapping brings her together with Jay Vashon, brother in law to the victim. Even with his military experience, Lela will not let her guard down, and continues to lead the partnership.This is a new author to me, and one that I certainly will be looking to read again. The action just keeps you guessing, attempting to understand if the signs and evidence will lead them to Chuck, the victim, before he is murdered. How does the method of communication with a child factor in? Can the team learn to trust God and each other?This ARC was received through Harbourlight Books, Pelican Ventures, LLC and CelebrateLit. These impressions and comments are my own and were in no way solicited.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This has been a very intriguing story. I loved Lela and her strong desire to help others. The organization she works for does amazing work on helping find people who have been kidnapped. I thought this was a brilliant part of the story where Lela shined at her job. Her instincts are spot on and she is very determined to follow leads. There is something from her past that has affected her but she tries to hide the scars that will never go away. Jay is a good character and helps Lela find out why his brother-in-law Chuck has been kidnapped. As they start to investigate they find clues that may help them figure out why Chuck has been kidnapped. I liked the twists in the story and how the author has two characters working together that hide emotional scars. I think for me their budding friendship was refreshing and gave readers a little background on each of them. Jay is a little timid around Lela because he doesn’t want to get hurt. Lela doesn’t want to let Jay in because she has trust issues. I loved how the author kept the story interesting by incorporating another mystery in the book. This part of the story is genius and allows the author to show her creativity. The way she ties the two mysteries together is very intriguing and kept me on my toes. Lela has her hands full with two investigations, a past she needs to deal with and a man she may be falling for. I loved the faith element in the book and liked how Jay shared Jesus with Lela. It gives her much to think about as she starts to allow God to help her heal from her past. Get ready for action and suspense in this story where the kidnapped victim gives clues in video taped messages. The author included a child who has Fragile X Syndrome. I learned a little about this disorder as the author introduces us to Chuck’s son. The child is able to communicate by sign language and pictures. This will become a very important part of the story as video messages are sent to the family. Overall the story is well written and characters are developed enough that you become invested in them. If you are looking for a clean suspense story this one is for you. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
