The Men of Search Team Seven #3
Christmas Kidnapping
When her son is kidnapped at Christmastime, a therapist must turn to an FBI agent for help—before it's too late…
Something is stopping Special Agent Jack Prescott from being his best. He's run countless missions, but when one hits too close to home, he needs help that most men wouldn't ask for. Andrea McNeil has counseled plenty of FBI professionals before, but no one has been harder to reach than Jack. She's never been involved with one of her patients up close and personal, but when her son is abducted, she turns to Jack for help. Now they have to help each other to bring her son home and stay a step ahead of his kidnappers. Both of them need a breakthrough—and a miracle—if they're going to bring Ian home for Christmas.

Special Agent Jack Prescott seeks help from psychologist Andrea McNeil because he can't remember the face of the terrorist who killed his best friend, despite the fact he's a "super-recognizer". He asks her out for lunch afterwards, and despite that whole doctor/patient thing, she agrees. Next thing she knows, her purse has been stolen, and later that night, her son is kidnapped! It's all linked to a terrorist cell that Jack's team is tracking. The two head off to rescue Andrea's son.
My rating would be 2.5, but I've rounded up to 3 to be generous, because it's a quick, fast-paced read. Once the action gets going, it rarely stops, which is a plus. But the plot is very, very, very thin. There's absolutely zero detail about what sort of terrorists are after Jack and Andrea. Isn't that snippet of information just a trifle bit IMPORTANT?!? It detracted from the book big time. Also absent is any explanation of what exactly the terrorists have in mind. This is something that really, really riles me in mini-series in category romance! I have the next book in the series, it appears, so I'm hoping it's all cleared up then, otherwise I'm coming back and dropping this one down to 2 stars! I was a bit non-plussed at the bit where the first thing Andrea wants AFTER her boy has been kidnapped is for Jack to "Kiss me." Ugh. Really?

I enjoyed this romantic suspense with lots of fast paced exciting action and a strong hero and heroine but the romance was not believable. The first kiss seemed to come out of the blue and the whole timing was unrealistic. Plus, Christmas was only mentioned a couple times. Psychologist Andrea asks FBI agent Jack for help when her son is kidnapped.

Andrea is a police therapist whose husband was killed in the line of duty and whose little boy has been kidnapped. FBI agent Jack is drawn in to help Andrea to find her son in a wild adventure with many twists and turns. I didn't want to put this book down!

From the moment Andrea and Jack meet each other, there's a palpable connection. And even though there's undeniable physical attraction in between them, the connection goes much deeper and takes root in their minds and hearts fast and tight. I loved how they bonded, were receptive towards the other, transparent, holding nothing back. And though it was rabid and swift, it was believable and convincing.
But this connection is taken to a test when Andrea's son is kidnapped. The constantly building and strengthening fear and danger creeps up to you, and gives you the chills. The elements of nature around them adds to the challenge of survival, exposing them to peril, driving them to pitfalls, and bring a new menace on their heels.
The possibilities of surviving are less, the vulnerability is higher, and the help isn't able to reach them.
The book deliver on every level, it brings intense situations that had me on the edge, with heart raising danger, and certain of the peril the characters would face. It has ardent passion between Jack and Andrea, and incredibly cute times between Andrea's son and Jack. The characters are charismatic and enjoyable making it easy to root for them, they are engaging and good-natured, holding your interest and they make you want to cheer them on. Even though the book had a satisfying ending and the case was closed, there are issues that run through the series and still require answers. There's absolutely no cliffhanger at the end, but the keen interest for the series to continue is high.
A spine-tingling thrill ride, filled with danger from the culprits and hazard from nature, along with wondrous human connections, fervent passion, and a heartwarming family unit. All this in a tale that unfolds in fronts of you like a riveting action movie, holding you on the edge of your seat

I really enjoyed this book. It drew me in right away. Jack is a FBI agent on medical leave. He has the ability to remember any face. His best friend got shot when they were working a case. His memory has blocked out the man's face that shot his friend. He goes to Andrea for help. she is a physiologist, and counselor for the police department. Jake and Andrea had a connection right away. I found the exchange between patient, and doctor humorous. Jake wants to be hypnotized to regain his lost memory. Andrea was explaining for it to work he would have to trust her, and relax. This part of the book was just funny.
After the appointment, Jake invites Andrea to lunch. She never goes to lunch with her patents, but there was something about Jake that drew her in. While at lunch Andrea had her purse stolen. The story heats up after the purse snatchers use her driver's license to find her home, and kidnap her 5 year old son. Love the action, and suspense of the story. The people behind the kidnapping is not just ordinary lowlife's. They are connected to a terrorist group. They are connected to the case Jake has been working. His boss is not happy that Jake who is suppose to be home, on medical leave, is now stranded in the woods with Andrea, and her son, fighting off the group, and fighting to survive. I loved Andrea. she is a strong heroine, and could handle her own. When the chips are down, and her back is against the wall, she has no problem shooting at the people that is shooting at her, and Jake.
Love this book!
