The Kidnapping of Kenzie Thorn

I love to read, especially Christian romance books. I adore authors like Beverly Lewis and Cindy Woodsmall. There is a new author that has made her way into my top 3 authors with ONE book. I'm not just saying that because she hooks me up with free books all the time.

I've been working with Liz for a long, long time reviewing books, and when she asked me to review her new book, her first book, I was honored. However, I was expecting something along the lines of the old Harlequin novels where many romance authors get their start. They practice, get better, gain an audience, and then make it bigger. That is what I expected.



What I got was The Kidnapping of Kenzie Thorn.




Liz Johnson did an amazing job in the writing of this book! I could not put it down! I even read it during Kaytlin's Baccalaureate. I had to know what would happen to Kenzie and Myles while they were hiding from the police behind a dumpster. Kidnapping, FBI, prison, feisty heroine, hot hero.......



I don't want to spoil any part of this book for a reader, but I will tell you that this is one of the best books I've read and Liz Johnson is on my list of authors I have to read every book she writes.
Go buy this book!


Summary:
Myles Parsons is just another inmate in Kenzie Thorn’s GED course until he kidnaps her, offering only a feeble explanation–that he’s actually FBI Special Agent Myles Borden. Terrified, Kenzie doesn’t want to believe his story of being undercover to protect her. Moreover, she can’t believe that someone might really want her dead.
But just when Myles thinks he has her out of harm’s way, his plans start to fall apart. He attempts to take Kenzie to a safe house—but the stubborn woman won’t go! So together they must uncover the clues that will reveal a most shocking perpetrator. All the while Myles tries to keep his distance from Kenzie … but finds himself falling in love.


About the Author:
Liz Johnson grew up reading Christian fiction, and always dreamed of being part of the publishing industry.

While working as a publicist in the industry, she decided to pursue her other dream-becoming an author. Along the way to having her novel published, she completed the Christian Writers Guild apprentice course and wrote articles for several magazines. Liz lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where she enjoys theater, ice skating, volunteering in her church's bookstore and making frequent trips to Arizona to dote on her nephew and three nieces. She loves stories of true love with happy endings. The Kidnapping of Kenzie Thorn is her first novel. Keep up with Liz's adventures in writing at http://www.lizjohnsonbooks.com/.
