[Ренета Кирова · Rating 3 out of 5]

Романтична, криминална и лека книга. Започва много интересно с една несъстояла се уредена среща между Бо, милионер и Джордан, бизнес дама със собствена фирма. Приятелката на Джордан пристига неочаквано една вечер и я моли да се грижи за 4-годишният й син. Никой не трябва да научва, че Спенсър е при нея, но Бо неочаквано отива до дома й да се извини, че е сбъркал часа на срещата. Заставайки пред Джордан и момчето, той разбира, че е изгубен. Въпрос на време е двамата да се влюбят, но Бо пази тайни, Джордан е била наранена от бившия си годеник, а някой ги преследва, за да убие момчето.
Силно начало, но към средата вече знаех какво ще се случи и забелязах някои скалъпени моменти. Интересна беше, но има какво да се желае от авторката.

On page 141.
I'm just not connecting with this story. There isn't enough character development for me, and even though it is romantic suspense, most of the story so far is about Jordan taking care of young Spencer. Also, I was a bit frustrated by the fact that the synopsis of the book had a pretty major spoiler in it. Instead, I'm going to move on to one of the other books in this Chapter Challenge.

So captured

I was so reluctant to reading it read over 15 of her other books older series so this thriller I thought it can't be as good as the 9 book series but I loved it more cried and read it so fast. A must read!!

Night Moves

Oh, my heck, I couldn't stop reading this thrill ride. I loved Beau and Jordan as well as Spencer, the little boy who was central to the story. Its suspenseful and sweet.

Прекалено много маловажни подробности, а всъщност има големи драми. Иначе книжката щеше да бъде новела. Става.

Night Moves by Janelle Taylor

This was a good story.

The description of the book I am listing below is from the back jacket of the book. I'm adding it because I believe the one on the Goodreads page does not depict this story.

Single D.C. caterer Jordan Curry has no idea what to do with a four-year-old boy, but she does know one thing: her best friend Phoebe says her son is in mortal danger. Before vanishing into a stormy night, Phoebe entrusts Jordan with her child's life—and makes her swear not to tell a soul where he is. At first, keeping imaginative Spencer occupied seems more difficult than keeping him safe, especially when handsome architect Beau Somerville pops up unexpectedly. Jordan half expects Beau to run in the other direction, but he seems drawn to the boy. Before long, Jordan finds herself falling for Beau's gentle strength—a strength she needs to trust when she hears that Phoebe has been brutally murdered ...

Beau understands what it means to protect your family. He failed that duty once, and the price has haunted him always. Now, he'll do whatever it takes to keep Jordan and Spencer safe from the shadowy stranger who has started asking questions ... following them ... getting far too close. Spiriting woman and child away to a deserted house on the Outer Banks, Beau gives them a chance to forget grim reality, to spend time together—almost as a family. But they soon realize that they might not be alone at the isolated seaside haven. With the weather turning ominous and no way back to the mainland, Beau fears that he may have delivered them all into the hands of a cold-blooded killer…

I listened to it on audio and for some reason the narrator seemed like he was always out of breath....but he did have a nice voice. I do have to admit there was some parts in the book I found myself disinterested in and not paying attention. All around though it was a good book.
