About the author
Joanna Wayne
188 books59 followersReal name: Jo Ann Vest
Pseudonyms: Joanna Wayne.
Joanna Wayne began her professional writing career with the release of her first novel, DEEP IN THE BAYOU, in 1994, but Joanna will be the first to tell you that the wheels were set in motion years before. She started reading at four years of age, the same age that she began making weekly trips to the library to check out as many books as they’d let her have, only to finish reading them all before bedtime. That love of books never waned.
Joanna was born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana and was the middle child of a large family. She moved to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1984 when she married her current husband. New Orleans opened up a whole new realm of activities and she found the mix of cultures, music, history, food and sultry southern classics along with her love of reading a natural impetus for beginning her writing career. It was there that she attended her first writing class and joined her first professional writing organization. From that point on, there was no looking back.
Now, forty published books later, Joanna has made a name for herself as being on the cutting edge of romantic suspense in both series and mainstream novels. She is known for the suspense and emotion she brings to the page, as she takes ordinary people and thrusts them into life-and-death situations. She has been on the Walden Bestselling List for romance and won many industry awards. She is a popular speaker at writing organizations and local community functions and has taught creative writing at the University of New Orleans Metropolitan College.
She currently resides in a small community forty miles north of Houston, Texas with her husband. Though she still has many family and emotional ties to Louisiana, she loves living in the Lone Star state.

Good story/plot, but an almost non-existent romance. I would have really enjoyed this one if the romance angle had been stronger.
The book is a continuation of Wayne's previous four-book series "The Four Brothers of Colts Run Cross" and picks up on a story thread started in those books - that of the oldest Collingsworth sister and her estranged husband. Becky and Nick are on the verge of divorce when Nick is seriously injured while playing professional football. The publicity draws attention to his family, and then his twin sons are kidnapped. Beck and Nick must put aside their differences in order to find their sons.
As I said above, the storyline was good. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but the romance was hardly there. Which is annoying - I'm reading a romance book for a reason. They'd hardly even kissed by the time the end rolled around. It left an unsatisfied feeling.
So instead of giving this one a solid four-stars, it gets knocked down to three. But for any of you who read the other books in the series, I'd say it's still worth reading.

I really enjoyed this book. It had a home alone feel to it. Nick was a Dallas Cowboys football star. He got hurt in one of the games. The news showed pictures of Nick, with his twin sons Derrick, and David.
Jake had just been released from prison, and came up with a plan to get rich fast. It included kidnapping the twins. He knew Nick, and Becky would pay any amount to get the boys back home safe. The boys worked good together, and never showed fear. They were so cute. I'm sure Jake regretted the day he kidnapped them. Think home alone, but with two young boys, and only one grown up...
Becky, and Nick were separated, with divorce pending. I loved how the two worked together to find the boys. The kidnapping brought the couple back together. They were surrounded by a big family that was there to offer support, and do anything that may help in bringing home the boys. In the mist of the worst nightmare a parent can imagine, Becky, and Nick found love again. They realized family, was the most important in life.
Love this book. The action, and suspense was good. I loved the twins. The romance was sweet, and tender, and touched my heart. What more could you want in a book?

This is a new author although she's been writing since 1994 and I've never read anything of hers. But this book is heart wrenching because twin brothers around the age of 9 are kidnapped. And while the family groups together it tells a story of all the things they imagine are going wrong while the kidnapper puts them thru the wringer.

The best part of the story was the twin boys.

The kidnapper was insane. He killed 2 people after he took a header into a tree while drunk driving. I also like the mom Lenora she turned to God for her shoulder to lean on and had faith that he would bring the boys home safe. The daughter needs to have more faith in God and spend time working on her marriage instead of running home when it don't go her way. He hadn't cheated on her, hadn't abused her, didn't do drugs but left him because he was a football player who worked 6 months out of the year. REALLY!?!
