Kidnapped in Texas ~ Review

Kidnapped in Texas

Cowboy Protectors #1

By Virginia Vaughan

When Abby Mitchell left behind the man she loved, she took with her a secret that she had no right to keep. But now Abby and Luke Harmon are both back in their hometown, and Abby's secret is about to be revealed when her niece is kidnapped in front of them.  

Years ago, Abby gave up her daughter, and she never let Luke know that he was going to be a father. And when Kenzie is kidnapped in broad daylight, he may never get the chance to get to know his daughter. Worse, Abby's betrayal is compounded because she never gave him a choice in regard to the baby he didn't know she was expecting. He's lost fourteen years that he'll never get back.

Soon the case takes an unexpected turn when someone targets Abby and her nephew. With her life in danger, Luke has to step up his game, calling on his FBI resources. Can he stop whoever took his daughter before they kill the woman he could love if he can forgive her? 

Kidnapped in Texas is the first book in Virginia Vaughan's new series Cowboy Protectors, and as a series debut, it is most definitely suspense-filled reading. There are a few twists that will keep you guessing. Abby and Luke both have some growing to do as they both cling to the past and their somewhat destructive tendencies - Luke his anger and Abby her reckless impulses and secrecy. 

As a Love-Inspired Suspense book, this is a clean read and has an ending that won't disappoint (surprise, maybe). 

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion - all thoughts expressed are my own.
