This is book four in the Lone Star Justice series, however I feel it is a stand alone book. I have not read all the books in this series and had no problem keeping up. Texas Ranger Dallas Sanders is looking forward to some R&R with his daughter, however when his nephew is kidnaped and his daughter may be in danger he must do all he can to find the kidnappers before it is to late. Rachel Young is the beautiful new sheriff in town. When this kidnapping takes place she is hoping she is prepared for all that is coming. She must rely on the handsome ranger to help her solve this mystery. Dallas and Rachel work well together, I love the sparks that fly between the two of them. This novel is full of suspense, mystery, romance and more. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Two crimes that I think are scary and devastating are kidnapping & baby smuggling. This book deals with both of those. The people left behind to deal with the aftermath of those two crimes lay heavy on the law enforcement people who are trying desperately to solve the crimes as quickly as possible. In Texas Baby Pursuit, the crimes happen not only to two families but these families ARE the law enforcement people who are trying to solve the crimes so it's a double whammy! They know what can happen to these babies and how fast they can disappear! There is no ransom so finding them and finding the network & bringing all these people down is top priority. This author does a great job of showing the desperate search for those involved and the personal agony of the families involved. Dallas is a Texas Ranger and it's his sister's baby who is taken first. Rachel is the local sheriff and her baby is taken last. In between, their lives are in danger all the time. This book is "on the edge of your seat" action all the time and is written so well! The characters are great, especially Dallas' young, anguished teenaged daughter. Everything was so realistic! I would definitely recommend this book. It was awesome! I was given this book complimentary by the author but a review was not expected. This review & my opinions are my own.
