Book Description
Reeling from a negotiation gone wrong, FBI Special Agent April Ramos is caught off guard when a frazzled young woman shoves a crying baby into her arms, then disappears. Worry for the child’s safety quickly turns to fear when a man claiming to be the girl’s father abducts them at gunpoint. April puts her hostage negotiation skills to use to learn more about who she’s dealing with: Jason Snyder, a fugitive accused of murder.
As Jason spins a tall tale about being framed for the killing of his business partner, April must sort through his claims to find the truth. A truth that becomes all the more evident after April overhears a conversation between Jason and the local sheriff and realizes something more sinister may be happening in their small town of Sweet Briar, Texas. But aligning herself with a known fugitive to uncover the burden of proof could cost April her job . . . or worse, her life and the lives of other innocent people.

My Thoughts:
This was a pretty good book. April is FBI, specifically a negotiator who is having a bad day. I love that she was getting irritated with the woman and the baby in the grocery store line. It shows how different perspectives can be. She had a horrid day and the woman was upset about a crying baby. Jason is determined to not be framed for crimes he didn't commit.
I really didn't like the way he got April to come with him at all and was glad for his dad's reaction. I completely adored Jason's family. Watching their reactions showed real love. The bad guy was really bad and I was hoping they would take him down in a big way.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. It was a 3/5 for me.
