The Kidnapping of Kenzie Thorn

Congrats to fellow publicist Liz Johnson on her first book, The Kidnapping of Kenzie Thorn. (Don't expect me to write a book anytime soon!)

Liz has written a fast-paced enjoyable read. As I said last week in a review, I am a "love skeptic," but Liz has done a great job of making the romance aspect of the book believable and not make me want to gag at the sappiness. (That is high praise, Liz!)

The characters have great personalities that you can really root for. And as for the suspense, there were a couple of twists and turns I wasn't really expecting. While I'm not big on romance as a rule, I love suspense.

Here is more information about the book itself and the author. Be sure to check out Liz's website.


Summary:

Myles Parsons is just another inmate in Kenzie Thorn’s GED course until he kidnaps her, offering only a feeble explanation–that he’s actually FBI Special Agent Myles Borden. Terrified, Kenzie doesn’t want to believe his story of being undercover to protect her. Moreover, she can’t believe that someone might really want her dead.

But just when Myles thinks he has her out of harm’s way, his plans start to fall apart. He attempts to take Kenzie to a safe house—but the stubborn woman won’t go! So together they must uncover the clues that will reveal a most shocking perpetrator. All the while Myles tries to keep his distance from Kenzie … but finds himself falling in love.
