Book Description:
A LOST BABY
Luna Rosati found acceptance and comfort with her childhood foster family, but when she became pregnant at sixteen, she gave the baby up for adoption and left without a word. Now a CIA counterintelligence officer, Luna wants to reconcile her fractured sense of self by finding the only blood family she has--the teenage daughter she's never met. As Luna closes in on learning the girl's identity with the help of her mentor, Stryker, she prepares to meet him in her old neighborhood--the last place she wants to be. Then Stryker is captured.
AN INESCAPABLE PAST
Special Agent Corbin King changed his last name to escape the shadow of his convicted father serving a life sentence. When he runs into Luna, the object of his failed teenage romance, the two must put their pasts aside and work together to expose a secret that someone's willing to kill for.
A DEADLY THREAT
But when they encounter a kidnapping, missing bodies, and murder, the secrets Corbin and Luna are keeping from one another are only the beginning of the threat they face with more than their own lives at stake.
My review:
I have read all of this author's fiction novels with the exception of her Love Inspired Suspense novel. This is her first series of her own. With the exception of her LIS book, all of her books have been in series with other authors. This is the first book in her first solo series, and what a book it is.
Girl Lost had an excellent plot. It is a bit difficult to say much about it without giving away spoilers and details that you don't find out until further in the book. There are a couple of missing girls, a missing guy, and a lot of bad guys who have hatched up a very bad operation.
Corbin and Luna were awesome main characters. This is not one of those books where boy meets girl and they fall in love over the course of being in danger throughout the book. No, these two very likable characters have a past. And a baby who would now be a teenager between them that was adopted out at birth. The sparks fly all throughout the book between Corbin and Luna, and not always the good kind.
There is a lot of suspense, which I love, and once I got into the book, I didn't want to put it down.
I liked the Christian theme of the book: forgiveness. Luna had to forgive Corbin, Corbin had to forgive himself and his father. There is a scene in the book that involves Corbin and his dad that I loved, and which sets up the next book.
There were a couple of surprises in the book. The author had me thinking one thing, and then she revealed something that was a definite surprise.
And when the whole plot was revealed, it was evil and it made you think.
I thoroughly enjoyed this first book in the King Legacy Series, and look forward to the rest of the series.
Special thanks to the author for an advance copy of this novel. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
