A refreshing short novel with lots of excitement, suspense and lots of spiritual insights. Amber runs a bakery and plans parties. She sees a kidnapping and follows the guilty man but ends up overturning Garrett’s car. Garrett is injured but is put on medical leave as a police officer. He protects her but several horrific events happen. They fall in love. After all the book cover says it is “Love Inspired Suspense!”

Had possibilities but--. Police officer Garrett Matthews has applied for employment with the FBI and is trying to do everything to keep his record perfect when his cruiser is broadsided by a woman who claims she saw a kidnapping and is trying to get close enough to the car to get a license plate number. Because of his injuries he is assigned to keep the "eyewitness" out of trouble while the police look into the kidnapping. Starts well but just piddles around for the rest of the story.
