Abducted!

As a seasoned FBI agent, Darren Timmons has seen it all, but when his precious daughter Savannah is abducted from a Christmas wedding party, she quickly becomes the only case that ever mattered. As she is lost somewhere out in the big, dark world of Memphis’ underbelly without her inhaler or her medication, Darren is forced to sit on the sidelines of the investigation and put his faith in the one woman he’s not sure he can trust.

DNA Serologist Eva Langston is still nursing the sting of a breakup from her romance with Darren. Eva doesn’t know if she has the strength to assist when she’s called in to work the case of Darren’s missing little girl. When her name is listed as a possible suspect in the abduction, Eva wants nothing more than to escape, but she can’t bear to leave Darren alone in his desperate search for the little girl she came to love.

As the clock ticks on Savannah’s medical needs, Darren and Eva must work together and learn to trust again, to bring the little girl home. Can their search for Savannah help them find true love again?

MY THOUGHTS

A suspense by Robin Caroll is a must-read for me, and she once again delivers in The Christmas Bell Tolls. Since it's a novella, the action moves especially quick, which is good for my heart since it involves a kidnapped little girl! Caroll is an expert at character development and plot pacing, not to mention hold-your-breath moments. Even if I weren't a fast reader, I still would have read this in one sitting; it's not a story to read a couple of chapters and then lay aside for a few days. Don't miss The Christmas Bell Tolls!
