This was on the sale shelf at my local library. Someone is targeting pregnant women--particularly pregnant Amish women. Sgt. Nicole Dawson and FBI Special Agent Jack Quinn work together to find out who's behind it.

It's not the most suspenseful plot, but it was decent.

Romantically, Jack and Nicole have a history--they were engaged but Nicole broke the engagement when she thought Jack cheated on her. He couldn't tell her the truth of his undercover assignment because he'd been ordered not to. ( )

Police sergeant Nicole Dawson and FBI agent Jack Quinn certainly aren't strangers, but they can't claim to be friends. When they join forces to find a missing Amish mother and her two-year-old daughter, old wounds and painful memories threaten their working partnership. How can Nicole forget her ex-fiancé's betrayal? What hope is there if you can't trust the man you once loved?

Author Dana R. Lynn sends readers on a thrilling, hair-raising adventure in Amish country, but this time there are kidnappers and baby-snatchers to further complicate matters. I always enjoy the interaction that she shows between the Amish and English communities and Lynn takes it to an even higher level in Amish Cradle Conspiracy. Wonderful characters, a second chance at love, and the reminder that forgiveness is essential are all combined to make this a fantastic romantic suspense novel!

I received a copy of this book from Love Inspired Suspense for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will. ( )

Terrific second chance romance. I was hooked from the moment I started reading and didn't stop until I was finished. The Sutter Springs PD is dealing with a terrifying problem. Someone is kidnapping pregnant young Amish women, stealing their babies, killing the women, and selling the babies. When Nicole and her partner get a lead on one of these missing women and her toddler, they rush to the scene. When backup arrives to help, Nicole is dismayed to discover her ex-fiancé is one of them. Though they rescue the pregnant woman, the kidnapper escapes with little Leah - and targets the officer who saw his face.

The action in this book started immediately and never let up. Jack, an FBI agent, and his partner join the SSPD to help when they discover there is a link between the case they are working on and the kidnappings. They must move fast because the traffickers could move little Leah out of the state or the country at any time. As Jack and Nicole follow every lead, it sometimes feels like the killer is one step ahead of them. His ruthlessness is evident as the bodies pile up, and the attempts on Nicole's life intensify as she and Jack close in on him. When they identify another Amish woman in danger, Nicole goes undercover to protect her. The intensity ramped up as Nicole and Adele fled for their lives, and Nicole ended up in the killer's clutches. I was glued to the pages as the final confrontation came within inches of costing Nicole her life. The resolution was fantastic as the local and larger cases were successfully concluded. I loved seeing Jack with little Leah.

I enjoyed watching the rekindling of Nicole and Jack's relationship. Nicole broke off their engagement three years ago when Jack's undercover work came between them. She couldn't or wouldn't understand that there were things he couldn't tell her, which ran up against the issues caused by her father's lying and deceit. Jack was heartbroken and left town to continue his work with the FBI. Then his sister was murdered, leaving him as guardian to her daughter, Chloe. I loved seeing how important Chloe was to him and how good he was with her.

It's a shock to both Jack and Nicole when they are assigned to work together. It is quickly evident that their feelings for each other are as strong as ever. The more time they spend together, the closer they grow. Neither has forgotten what drove them apart, but their hearts know what they want. I loved Jack's protectiveness and desire to care for and comfort Nicole when she needed it. Nicole can still read Jack's body language and knows when something bothers him. But can Nicole stop projecting her father's actions onto Jack when it comes to his job? Nicole has some serious soul-searching to do before she can see a future with Jack. I loved the ending and how both took steps to resolve their past issues so they could look toward a future together. The epilogue was terrific and showed what the power of love could accomplish. ( )
