About the book: 

Twisted Innocence (Zondervan, February 2015)

Holly Cramer’s past choices have finally caught up to her, but she never expected them to endanger her baby.

Though Holly’s stumbled through most of her adult life as a party girl, she longs to live a more stable life for her daughter. Then police show up to question her about the whereabouts of Creed Kershaw, Lily’s father. She has kept his identity a secret from friends and family—she never even told him about the pregnancy. Now he’s a person of interest in a drug-related murder case.

Determined to keep him out of their lives and turn him over to police, Holly uses her private investigating skills to search for him. But her bravado backfires when he turns the tables and takes her and the baby hostage. As desperate hours tick by, Holly realizes his connection to Leonard Miller-the man who has gunned down several members of her family. Creed claims he’s innocent and that Miller is after him too. His gentleness with Lily moves her, but she can’t trust a man who has held her at gunpoint . . . even if he reminds her so much of herself.

Dangers old and new threaten Holly and her baby, and lives are demanded as sacrifices for love. Through a complex web of mistakes and regret, redemption is the one hope Holly has left to hold on to.

My thoughts about Twisted Innocence:  

 

This is another book that is of a series that I haven’t read.  I have however read a few of Terri Blackstock’s books and knew that this would be one worth reading.  I really enjoyed this book.  It was a fast read for me.  

 

I felt myself drawn to Holly as she tried to protect her baby and still be herself.  She grew up and changed when she learned she was pregnant but is still trying to prove that she is indeed a new person to her family and everyone around her.   To prove that she no longer is simply living for the fun of it.  But what happens when she discovers that the father of her baby is wanted for murder?  And that everyone around him(including he himself) knows that he’s the father of her baby?  She told no one the truth about her baby’s father and wanted it to remain that way.

 

Meanwhile her sister has a fiance who is an ex-cop behind bars that she is trying to free as he was wrongfully imprisoned.  So much going on in one book!  But wait it gets better!

 

Holly finds the father of her baby as his life is in extreme danger.  He wants to turn on the drug ring who is trying to kill him but she has to find a way to keep him alive long enough to do so.  She also has to convince her family that he is indeed innocent of the murder he’s being framed for.  Add in some more fun when the future brother in law is released from prison and her lawyer sister agrees to represent Creed.  But they have to keep him alive long enough!  

 

Such an action packed book!  Fast paced and definitely has you holding onto the edge of your seat.  Great read that I highly recommend.  Hope I’ve got you reaching for your own copy now!
