I really enjoyed this intriguing mystery of danger and a helpless baby. What's a man to do, when he has a baby laid at his door step, from a friend who has disappeared. In comes a so called nanny, who bonds right away with the baby and the hero. What's going on in this dangerous situation? While not for the under 18 readers, lots of violence and some sexual content, I've given this a 4.7* rating. You'll have to read to get the whole story. Enjoyed the ending too. ( )

In "Chain of Custody", Book Two in author Carol Ericson's "Holding the Line Series", border patrol agent Nash Dillon suddenly finds himself as the caretaker of an adorable baby boy while he's also caring for a friend's dog, managing his family's pecan groves, and investigating dangerous drug traffickers. When a beautiful red-headed, green-eyed nanny appears in Paradiso, AZ, at just at the right time, Nash breathes a sigh of relief. Former law officer Emily O'Brien is starting life over as a private investigator. Hired to track baby Wyatt and keep an eye on his mother, Emily poses as a nanny in order to stay close to Wyatt. Jaycee Lemoin, a childhood friend of Nash's younger sister, had left her baby in Nash's care--not the first time he had helped out in a tine of need. Marcus Lanier, who claimed to be Wyatt's father, was a married, big-time businessman from Phoenix, and he had hired Emily to help him gain information against Jaycee for a planned custody battle. Another player in the game is Brett Fillmore, Jaycee's most recent boyfriend--and no stranger to the criminal element--just how does he fit into the overall picture? The attraction between Nash and Emily grows stronger as they spend time together and bond over baby Wyatt--but where is his mother? Just as Nash discovers Emily's true identity, the situation turns from perplexing to perilous, and the two of them must use all of their law enforcement skills to protect the precious child--and each other. If they survive, is there a happy future ahead? I am really enjoying the "Holding the Line Series" from author Carol Ericson--this lady can really write romantic suspense--her involving story lines and well-developed characters will keep readers turning the pages.
