Excellent book. I couldn’t put it down. My heart was racing.
Josh is out of prison for a crime he didn’t commit, but he had to what he had to do. It was for the right reasons, but he missed so much. He left Natalie Croft behind at a price now he’s paying for. He gets a message that he doesn’t understand, but soon learns the truth. He’s beside himself with worry, and won’t stop until he finds what he lost. He also hopes to recover another person he never stopped loving.
Missing diamonds. A kidnapped child and his grandmother. This series of tragic events is what brings ex-con now security expert Josh Stafford and Natalie Croft back together. However, news that Josh is the father of Natalie’s son Henry will have to wait to be celebrated. Either Josh turns over the diamonds or Josh will lose the son he never knew existed.
However, Josh has no idea what diamonds are missing and who took his son. Blind faith and blind trust just might be the only factors that get his son back safely. Although the thought of a second chance with Natalie would bring him true happiness, finding Henry is the first priority.
Natalie is desperate for her son and her mother. Her love for them holds no bounds. Despite her past with Josh, is this the type of love she feels for him?
Although I only came into this long-running series with this title, I was easily able connect with Josh and Natalie in this story.
Many thanks to Mills & Boons Heroes and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
As much as I was hoping to get into this one, I simply could not get into this story. Which is a shame since secret baby and/or single parent stories seem to be my favorite lately and this one featured both tropes.
A 3.5 stars story
This story centers around Josh Stafford and Natalie Croft. While in college, these two fell madly in love and were planning their future together. That all changes when Josh pleas guilty of a crime he didn’t commit in order to protect someone in his life. His greatest regret was telling Natalie, the woman he loved, that he didn’t love her. All to keep her safe.
This devastated Natalie. Especially since she was pregnant.
Five years have gone by, and now Josh is out for good behavior and working as a security specialist for the Payne Protection Agency. This first assignment has him working as a guard at Natalie’s family jewelry store.
When diamonds go missing and he finds out that he has a son, Josh will do everything in his power to keep Natalie safe and find the boy that has been kidnapped.
Will Natalie realize that his lies were to protect her? Will Josh and the team find the boy in time? In the end , will Natalie , Josh and their son Henry become a true family or will the past keep them apart?
I have to confess that when I chose this book, I hadn’t realized it was book 14 of a series . A series I had not read making it difficult to follow the large number of characters from previous stories that were unknown to this reader.
Lastly, though Josh was easy to like, Natalie took me a while to warm up to her.
I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley an Harlequin. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
This was a very interesting book with lots of characters. At the time I started reading I didn’t realize this was book 14. It was a little confusing not having the backgrounds of the other characters. It was fascinating to follow the clues. I would like to read the other books. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.
He’ll risk anything, To save the child he didn’t know he had! Good book! This book had suspense, intriguing, murder, mystery, a good who done it and a few crazy twists and turns! The story was interesting, it wasn't one of my top favorite but still worth reading! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
