About the book: Twisted Innocence (Zondervan, February 2015)
Holly Cramer's past choices have finally caught up to her, but she never expected them to endanger her baby.
Though Holly's stumbled through most of her adult life as a party girl, she longs to live a more stable life for her daughter. Then police show up to question her about the whereabouts of Creed Kershaw, Lily's father. She has kept his identity a secret from friends and family---she never even told him about the pregnancy. Now he's a person of interest in a drug-related murder case.
Determined to keep him out of their lives and turn him over to police, Holly uses her private investigating skills to search for him. But her bravado backfires when he turns the tables and takes her and the baby hostage. As desperate hours tick by, Holly realizes his connection to Leonard Miller-the man who has gunned down several members of her family. Creed claims he's innocent and that Miller is after him too. His gentleness with Lily moves her, but she can't trust a man who has held her at gunpoint . . . even if he reminds her so much of herself.
Dangers old and new threaten Holly and her baby, and lives are demanded as sacrifices for love. Through a complex web of mistakes and regret, redemption is the one hope Holly has left to hold on to.
My review:
This was an interesting suspenseful story without a moment of boredom! I found the investigation aspects interesting and there was nonstop action! I felt for Holly and her struggle to be a good mom and make better choices than she had before. I admired her toughness and her willingness to give people a second chance like she'd been given. I had read the previous book in this series and it was nice to catch up with the characters again and get some closure on ongoing plot lines. There's some explanation in the book as to what happened before so it works to read it without having read the others first, but it won't be as meaningful. The characters struggle with their faith, from trying to deal with a pastor father's betrayal to hardships that keep piling up with no end in sight and wondering where God is in it all and why He's not fixing everything. There were a couple great conversations dealing with this and the fact that Jesus' death on the cross covers all your sins and mistakes and that He hasn't given up on you. There was a bit of romance, though it seemed one relationship moved quite fast. This was wonderful suspense with real likable characters. You should check it out!
