Shattered Lullaby (Callahan Confidential, 4)

Good story, great company to order from. It is "clean" no swear words, etc.

reading it now, so far it is good reading.

My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Shattered Lullaby. This is the fourth book in the Callahan Confidential Series. This has been a great series and I have really enjoyed it. Laura's books always touch my heart. This story is well written, action packed, and full of faith. You are going to love it.

School teacher Lacy Germaine is visiting her sister for Spring Break. Her sister has a three month old baby boy and is divorcing her husband. Lacy came to help her. She wakes to the sound of shouting, as she checks the baby she hears her brother-in-law say he was going to kill her and her brat if she didn't tell the truth. Lacy calls 911 and then hears a shot. She takes the baby and runs. Who can she trust? Her brother-in-law is a cop, how can she trust his buddies. In the car she hears an Amber Alert on her and the baby, now what?

Officer Matthew Callahan was just heading home after a double shift when he sees a woman run out of the convenience store with a man chasing her holding a gun. He thought the man might be a cop until he starts shooting at the woman. Mat steps in yelling to stop, police! He turns his K-9 lose to go stop the man. The man runs off but harms his dog. He believes Lacy's story; he takes her and the baby with him to the emergency vet. Life begins to become one adventure after another as he tries to keep Lacy and the baby alive and well.

A Journey of two broken hearts trying to save the life of the baby and find out what is going on and who wants them dead. God protects them. He has a plan for them, a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too; a good plan and not for evil. Give Him your heart and let Him lead you out of your mess.

"Shattered Lullaby" is a Christian romantic suspense novel. It's the fourth in a series, but you can understand this book without reading the previous ones.

The heroine was sleeping at her sister's house, helping watch the baby while her sister filed for divorce, when an argument and gunshots wake her. She calls 911, grabs her nephew, and flees the scene. But her brother-in-law is a police officer, and apparently he's put out an Amber Alert on her after killing her sister. Afraid of the police not listening to her and not having positive experiences with men in general, she's reluctant to accept help from the K-9 officer who soon saves her from gunfire when leaving a convenience store. Together, they figure out why the bad guys are after her while dodging bullets.

I liked the hero and heroine, and they were a good team. I can see why they fall in love. The suspense came from the bad guys frequently attacking the heroine and the main characters not knowing who to trust. The hero teaches the heroine to pray when in danger and trust God for protection. They both learn to care for each other (and the baby) as they care for the baby and work together to solve the case. She almost accidentally managed to find critical clues as to who the bad guys were while at the same time some of her assumptions initially led them off the right track.

There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this suspenseful novel.

I received an ebook review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
