Book Description:
MISSING CHILD
Kate Elliot's suburban life turns upside down when her sister is shot and her niece kidnapped. Unsure of whom to trust, she turns to FBI agent Marcus O'Brian. But Kate doesn't want to leave the case to the authorities. Against the handsome agent's orders, she tracks her niece to Paris, and the City of Light quickly becomes a city of danger. Marcus can't explain why he feels such a strong connection with the headstrong woman, but soon he's taking on the role of Kate's protector. Yet when the kidnappers demand a ransom Kate can't deliver, he's not sure how much longer he can keep her alive. Now Marcus has the next twenty-four hours to save a stolen child and the woman he's grown to love.
Narelle's thoughts:
I’m a fan of Lisa’s books and I loved reading Taken. I read it quickly, within twenty four hours, because I couldn’t put it down. The story starts in the middle of the action, when Kate’s niece is kidnapped from her mother’s home. Distraught and desperate to rescue her niece, Kate travels from Texas to Paris and soon realizes her own life is at stake. Forced to rely on Marcus, she sees a different side of the handsome FBI agent who is protecting her.
I really enjoyed the French story setting in Paris and the inclusion of many historic and famous landmarks. The characterisation was excellent and I loved the way the romance developed between Marcus and Kate. I wanted to see Marcus and Kate stay alive to achieve their own happily-ever-after ending. The suspense plot kept me guessing until the end, with exciting twists and turns along the way.
I highly recommend Taken to readers who are looking for a high octane and fast paced romantic suspense story set in beautiful Paris.

What an exciting and suspenseful story. I'll look for it the next time I'm in the States.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I hope you can pick up a copy of Taken :)
DeleteOoh, this sounds such a great story, Narelle! I look forward to reading it. I love Lisa's books.
ReplyDeleteHi Shirl, I love Lisa's books, too, and this one is a good one :)
DeleteNarelle, I really enjoyed "Taken". I thought Lisa handled the suspense well and Kate and Marcus were two excellent believable characters. I thought the main story wrapped up a bit too quickly but I understand that can be due to the Love Inspired protocols
ReplyDeleteHi Ian, yes, the LIS word length dictates that the story is fast paced all the way through to the end. I'm glad you enjoyed Taken :)
DeleteThanks so much, Narelle, for spreading the word about Taken!! So thrilled that you enjoyed the story. I had a blast setting a book in Paris, my absolute favorite city in the world. :-) Happy reading all!
