Keeping out of sight
is the only way to stay alive.
When Shae Evans spots a familiar face at a Christmas pageant, she knows her witness-protection cover has been blown. Six years ago, her testimony put a crime boss away for life, but his vengeful son never stopped looking for her. Fleeing with her daughter, Shae accepts protection from former FBI agent Mason Payne—her child’s secret father. Now they’re only seconds ahead of the ruthless crime family who want Shae silenced forever. With threats everywhere, will they live to see the New Year?
From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.
Dollycas’s Thoughts
Six years ago Shae Evans took a huge risk by testifying against a crime boss and sending him to prison for life and her into witness protection.
Then she recognizes someone at her daughter’s Christmas pageant and knows she’s in trouble. The crime boss’s son has been on a quest to find her and his goons are just across the room.
Ready to flee with her daughter Shae is surprised to find former FBI agent Mason Payne at her door to help her. He just had to look at Gracie and realize he was her father, a secret Shae had been determined to keep.
With assassins on their heels, they are going to need all the help they can get to find a safe place and put the remaining members of this merciless crime family behind bars or 6-feet under.
Ms. Alexander has introduced three strong, courageous characters and readers will immediately invested in their lives as they do everything to survive. Five-year-old Gracie was such a brave little girl in the face of danger that she didn’t understand. Missing the traditions of Christmas Eve and Christmas and missing the friends she was accustomed to spending those holidays with was hard, but Shae did her best to make her understand. With danger always near, Shae leaned heavily on her faith. She and Mason were very close until she went into witness protection. He had what he felt was a good reason for disappearing from her life and Shae expects him to do the same if they live through this. The romantic feelings are there but the trust isn’t.
Mason, Shae, and Gracie’s adventure was full of fear and suspense and at breakneck speed. My heart was pounding, my blood pressure was rising and at times I think I was holding my breath. With impressive twists, chilling turns, and tons of action, this book is impossible to put down. This author knows how to vividly set a scene and describe what is happening with stellar detail. This book would make a fabulous movie.
A complex plot, strong character development, and a powerful ending make Hunted for the Holidays A Perfect Escape. Secrets, betrayal, danger, courage, faith, and a second chance at love; this story has it all and more. A Christian Suspense/Mystery this book is completely clean in language and content. Deena Alexander deserves high praise; her stories will grab you and not let go even after the final page is turned.
