Fairly predictable rom com but it was still a good read that I enjoyed it. It was also a quick read. And like the majority of Love inspired Suspense the faith is awesome as always.

Abby Miller grew up living her life on the run, trying to stay one step ahead of the mob that is after her father. Now she is forced to Trust Wyatt Kane, who is her only shot to uncover the mole who put her and her father's life at risk.

A fast paced read, with an engaging and original plot. I liked how Abby is used to thinking in her feet, and has learned to rely on her skills for survival. An action packed read with likable characters, I liked how Wyatt encouraged Abby to trust God throughout their trials.

Overall an engaging and exciting read, with plenty of suspense, faith, and romance.

Description; i.e., the blurb …

The first words of the publisher’s description are perfect:

Targeted by the mob…
and there’s no place to hide
(citation link) NetGalley

Abby Miller and her father have been on the run from a Chicago mob since she was four years old. Her father, Peter Miller, an alias, had been happy living among the Amish. He loved the Amish life. He loved his wife. He loved his twin daughters, Abby & Rachel. The mob was ruthless in its pursuit. Separated from her father, Abby, now grown, does not trust people, including members of law enforcement. She ends up teaming up with FBI agent Wyatt Kane to evade the mob executioners intent on their deaths and find her father without giving away his location.

My review …
This clean Christian mystery takes off at a fast pace. Abby is in danger constantly. And so is Wyatt once he joins her. Maybe it’s just me, but despite all that, I wasn’t pulled into the story from the get-go. There is a previous book even though “Tracked Through the Woods” is not shown as part of a series. Doing some research, I found “Deadly Amish Abduction” [not read] which is a story about Abby’s twin sister Rachel.

I will say the mob’s search for Abby, her father, & Wyatt is ruthless and never stops. The Amish touch in the book is in reference to Rachel and her father’s life before they had to flee. You’ll learn why her father took Abby and left Rachel.

“Tracked Through the Woods” has a strong Christian accent. The short prayers offered fit the scene in which they appear. However, I felt as if Ms. Scott was trying “too hard” to make the lead characters “Christian”. Please do not get me wrong. I truly like Christian-based stories but I promise “an honest review“. I have reviewed at least two other Laura Scott similar mysteries and did not have the over-the-top reaction that I did with this book. It affected my rating of 3.5 stars, rounded to 3 for sites that only display round numbers.

The other rating reason I will place it at the very bottom of the review as it gives away a little bit of the plot.

The other reason for 3.5 rating …
Every time Wyatt and Abby check into a motel he flashes his FBI credentials even though he *knows* that his FBI boss is dirty. It would be too easy for the FBI to call the out-of-the-way motels in the area they know or believe Wyatt and Abby are in and find out an FBI agent is spending the night. And since when do motels not take cash?

Abby's on the run to find her father before the mafia does. Wyatt is an agent who is undercover trying to find the FBI mole but also help keep Abby alive as well as finding her father but it's clear that someone is on their tail.

I really like how fast this book was there was just so much going on but it kept me hooked till the very end. I enjoyed seeing how they work together to figure things out and I love that there was plenty of close calls to keep things interesting. This book had a lot of faith going on if that's something you like. I like that while there was a bit of romance between the two it wasn't overwhelming or took over to book at all it was just lightly there and you can't help but eventually rooting for the two. Overall this was a really good book I really enjoyed it.

This is Christian suspense with just the right amount of drama, action and romance to keep you turning the pages. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing until the end. This book is a great read that you don't want to miss.

Abby Miller’s father Peter is missing and she is determined to find him. Their family escaped from his mob family when she was a young child and had been living in an Amish community. When they were found, she and her father had to flee, leaving her mother and twin behind. Her father recently contacted FBI Agent Wyatt Kane believing that they could provide information that would allow them to resume their lives, but her father was almost killed. Did Wyatt set them up? Wyatt finally meets up with Abby and convinces her that he is also being targeted by someone in the agency and will help her find her father and the people who want them dead. An attraction slowly grows between them, but these feelings will have to wait until they are safe. A rush from beginning to end as they try to survive each threat, finally with the assistance of a local police chief. As the body count rises, how far reaching is the conspiracy to silence them?

This is a Romantic Suspense. I got pulled into this story right away, and I could not put this book down. I loved the fast paced and the action in this book. The characters were great, but the storyline drove this book. I loved every minute I was reading this book. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Love Inspired Suspense) or author (Laura Scott) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Tracked Through the Woods is a fairly short read, but the length fits the story. I am assuming that the frequent references to previous events involving the lead female character's sister means that I entered into the middle of a series. That did not impact my understanding of this story. It worked well as a stand-alone read. Some books make me feel as if I am in the midst of the story with the characters. Others make me feel as if I am watching from the outside looking in. Tracked Through the Woods is one of the latter. For readers whom realism is important in romantic suspense stories, this story doesn't have a great deal of that. For those who are more interested in the suspense as the culprit's identity is being sought, this story supplies plenty of that. I would recommend this book to those looking for a quick read to fill a rainy day.

I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy from Love Inspired an imprint of Harlequin via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.

I enjoyed this fast paced mafia romantic suspense. I likes the law enforcement angles. There were hints of previous books in this series. It was a winding road that kept my attention.

Great!

This was a fast-paced Christian action adventure mystery, all rolled into one great book. Abby Miller is desperate to find her father, who is on the run from the Marchese family. She is checking all the known locations when she is found by FBI Agent Wyatt Kane, who is also searching for Peter, and trying to expose his corrupt boss at the same time.

Abby and Wyatt experience many obstacles during their time together, but their faith remains. Wyatt constantly looks to his higher power to help him out of rough situations and help him find the right course. Abby and Wyatt grow much closer, but will they survive?

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

Tracked Through the Woods by Laura Scott will keep you on your toes. I thought the story was well-written with a fast pace. The characters are developed and realistic. Abby’s story is heartbreaking, but she is a strong individual. I enjoyed getting to know FBI Agent Wyatt Keane. Abby does not want to trust Wyatt, but she needs help finding her father and staying alive. The pair need to learn to trust each other if they are to survive. I loved all the action. The danger lurking around every corner. They did not know who they could trust or where to hide out. I enjoyed figuring out who was behind the leak. I like how faith was incorporated into the story. Wyatt and Abby will need God’s guidance if they are stay alive. I liked that there was no foul language or intimate situations (just kissing). This is a story that you will want to read in one sitting. Tracked Through the Woods is an active tale with an absent pater, a dreadful leak, a frightened daughter, flying bullets, fostering faith, and a steadfast FBI agent.

Another great read by Laura Scott. This book grabs your attention right from the beginning to the end. I love to read the Love Inspired Suspense books.
Thank You to NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

Abby Miller and her father have been running and hiding from his mafia family for years. She is desperately trying to find her father as they have been separated by the betrayal. When making a promise to meet up and share information with FBI Agent Wyatt Kane, Peter Miller disappeared. Abby is scared that something has happened to him as she searches in various places.
Wyatt is trying to find both Abby and Peter Miller as he is certain their lives are in danger. He is positive that there is an agent who is working with the mob. He doesn't know who he can trust, especially his own boss.
This is a story with sharp twists and turns. There is danger and at least one assassin who is out to get the Millers at all costs. I received an advanced reader's copy from Harlequin Love Inspired through NetGalley. This is definitely filled with suspense. There is a sweet love story that grows as the tension builds. This is my unsolicited opinion. I enjoyed the book and the mystery.

Tracked Through the Woods is a thrilling, action-packed story of romantic suspense. FBI Agent Wyatt Kane and Abby Miller are characters that tugged me into their world. They're on the run, seeking her father, and being chased by someone that wants all three of them dead. The peril that they're in leads them both back to their faith. There is an attraction between Wyatt and Abby that neither thinks the time is right for. Author Laura Scott does a fantastic job of weaving a romance through the excitement of this fast-moving plot. There were some unexpected twists and turns in the story. I had no clue who the bad guy was. I enjoyed the wonderful epilogue with a touching HEA. I would definitely read more from this author and would recommend this book to family and friends.
I received a complimentary copy through NetGalley from the publisher and am sharing my opinion of this well-written book.

Tracked Through the Woods by Laura Scott was a thrilling book. An FBI father and his daughter have been running from the mob for years. Now the mob is closing in on them.

You better put your running shoes on for this one. Abby Miller and her father have been on the run for many years. Her father was an FBI informant against the mafia. They were safe for a period of time. Now someone has found them again, and, to make matters worse, Abby cannot find her father. FBI Agent Wyatt Keane wants to help Abby, but she is distrustful of all law enforcement. She has to trust him because she needs him. There is something rotten in the FBI, and it is up to Abby and Wyatt to find the mole, which is the only way they will ever be safe.

Abby's story was a sad one. I will not share too much as you will need to read the book, but mainly this poor girl has never been able to establish roots anywhere. The nomad lifestyle would get old after a period of time. The action was non-stop, and there was danger around every corner. It was made especially difficult when they could not trust anyone. Abby was a tough young lady. She may have had fear, but she appeared fearless when tensions were high. This is a tense, suspense-filled story of hope and renewal of faith.

I highly recommend this book for action lovers. You can never go wrong with a Love Inspired Suspense book written by Laura Scott.

Thank you to Harlequin and NetGalley for this ARC. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Tracked through the Woods is a captivatingly, action-packed, good read! I encourage readers who have an interest in Christian fiction, mystery, and suspense to consider reading this book.

While trying to survive and outrun the mob and a FBI mole, the main characters, Abby and Wyatt, thoroughly depended on God to protect them and Abby’s dad, Peter. I appreciated the heartfelt prayers and how Wyatt continually pointed to God, His plan, and His care for them.

There were many well-crafted twists that created an atmosphere of constant tension.

In this book by Laura Scott, we discover a captivating blend of tender romance, pulse-pounding action, captivating mystery, and unshakeable faith that comes together to create a fully satisfying and unforgettable story.

I received an eARC of Tracked Through the Woods from Harlequin - Romance and NetGalley. I am neither obligated to write a positive review nor compensated for doing so. These words truly convey my assessment and authentic sentiments about this wonderful Love Inspired Suspense novel.

A five star read for the Love Inspired Christian Suspense Genre. Action from page 1 to the end. HEA, suspense filled read that shows you how faith can play as big a part in your life as you allow. I knew there would be a twist and this one set me back, I did not see it coming. I went down the red herring path a time or two, or the what if path. I love a book that entertains, makes me hold my breath a nano sec or two and lets me see faith in all its glory. Thank you for the arc!

Tracked Through the Woods is a very well written romantic suspense. This book has an edge of your seat page turning plot. I highly recommend this book. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my advance ebook. This is my unbiased review.

Abby Miller is searching for her father. Wyatt Kane is also searching for him. He is a federal agent who has been betrayed. Abby and her father neither one trust him as they were almost killed when they felt he had betrayed them.

This is a fast paced story with plenty of action. We aren't told until the end who the betrayer is. I did find it hard to believe that Abby kept going with all of the injuries she had received throughout the story. But it's a book. Not real life. Overall it's a good book and kept me reading.

I received this book from Love Inspired Suspense via Net/Galley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
