Valri Western
This book begins with a "bang" and the action doesn't let up during the entire book! It was a fantastic blend of great characters, edge-of-your-seat suspense and trying to figure out what was really going on. Carly Winslow is just a regular nanny for a darling baby, Mia. She hears gunshots through the baby monitor and escapes with baby Mia in tow out into the woods in the backyard. I admired Carly's character through the whole book. She put her life on the line for Mia time and again even though it wasn't her child. I would hope I'd do the same! As she is in the woods, she is chased by "the bad guys" but is suddenly helped out by "Whit", who claims to be the baby's uncle. Of course she is leery because she's never heard of him! However, with the bad guys closing in, she accepts his help and Carly & Whit begin an adventure that takes them all over the place trying to escape people who are trying to kidnap baby Mia. When the authorities eventually are contacted, they find out Mia's parents were abducted so everything is a race against time. I literally couldn't put this book down until I finished it and there were so many surprises! I definitely recommend it!
