The danger escalates when a vengeful mobster kidnaps Chelsea’s daughter and friend, demanding the stolen diamonds in exchange for their lives. To recover the gems, Chelsea joins forces with officer Matt Reynolds, whose sister has also been abducted. As they race against time, they find themselves in deadly pursuits across harsh terrain. With everything on the line, Chelsea and Matt must outsmart their enemies and unravel a web of lies… before their families pay the ultimate price.

review

what a wild ride!

chelsea eidman never expected to be involved with stolen diamonds and the albanian mob... but when her late husband's past comes calling and her daughter's life is on the line, she'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, along with an old friend (and police officer) matt reynolds, trying to help her navigate the danger...

kidnapped for ransom offers plenty of secrets, betrayals, and discoveries, as chelsea and matt end up on quite the adventure. it's definitely a nightmare of a situation, and on top of everything else, chelsea can't help wrestling with her love for her late husband, as well as her relationship with God. matt proves to be a support amidst the chaos, and i enjoyed seeing them work through it all together.

readers in need of a quick, action-paced romantic-suspense read, definitely check out kidnapped for ransom!

i received a complimentary copy from the author and/or publisher. i was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions i have expressed are my own.


considerations:
—language: none
—spice: kisses only
—faith: mentions of God, church, and prayer
—content: violence, kidnapping, the mob, drugs, mentions of loss of spouse
