Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Intruders breaking into Alice Benoit's home was no coincidence—she’s a ruthless gang’s best pawn to keep a witness from testifying. Now with a leak in his own police department, superintendent Ben Parsons must keep Alice safe. There's nowhere to go. No one to trust. And Alice and Ben have twenty-four hours to survive, before they lose everything they care about…including each other.


My Review:
Kidnap Threat is a Christian romantic suspense. I enjoyed that it was different than the standard suspense. Both Alice and Ben were in their forties, so they were able to use their life experience and quick thinking to deal with the dangerous situation. They also came across as real people rather than superhero material. Alice's son was in witness protection but her identify leaked so the bad guys were trying to kidnap her to force her son to not testify. Ben ended up protecting her alone because they didn't know who else to trust. They needed to figure out who the leak from inside the department was because that person was setting Ben up to look like a bad guy.

Ben and Alice worked well together, able to separate if needed to stay undetected in crowds while still able to guess how to find the other afterward. It was also clear that God was working behind the scenes to protect Alice (and she told Ben that she was depending on God, so he didn't need to feel the burden was solely on him). This is one case of a romance blossoming within 24 hours and yet feeling enduring to me. They were impressed by the way the other handled the hard situation, and they got along well. They didn't impulsively decide to get married the moment the danger ended but did pursue steps so they could begin a relationship. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable suspense.
