They’ll do anything to protect baby Mia…
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve read a Hope White book. As soon as I cracked open Nanny Witness I was reminded just how much I enjoy them and why.
The action starts on page one and doesn’t let up. Trust me, Carly and Whit don’t get a chance to breathe and neither do readers. Mixed in with the danger and intrigue is a wonderful message of faith – and forgiveness. Forgiveness, especially of one’s self, and letting go of the guilt isn’t easy for Carly or Whit…something that will resonate with many readers.
I have to say that Carly is probably one of my favorite Love Inspired Suspense heroines. Her strength of character and faith despite a rough childhood are simply amazing. She is strong, tough, gentle, fiercely protective of her charge, and doesn’t let her past destroy her.
Hope White did an amazing job with Nanny Witness and I breezed through it surprisingly fast, just couldn’t seem to be able to set it aside. If you love romantic suspense, I know I do, this is one book I’d definitely recommend.

I don’t read a lot of contemporary, but the cover of this particular novel drew me in immediately. I was intrigued by the premise so decided to take a chance on something different than my usual fare, and I’m glad I did because I really enjoyed this quick read.
Typical for a Love Inspired Suspense, the action begins right away. And I do mean in those first pages. I could not imagine being in that situation and how I’d respond if I heard a crime happening over a baby monitor, let alone how I’d protect a child in my care.
The intensity remains high and reading how the characters responded to various situations seemed realistic without becoming too graphic for my reading tastes. I appreciated that there was no foul language in the name of “realism,” and that even though the bad guys were bad, I didn’t have to wade through descriptions of their deeds that were disturbing.
I can enjoy an adventure and a chase without bloody scenes that give me nightmares, thank you very much, and this book delivers a great story that satisfies. I recommend it for those who enjoy suspense without gore—it’s a perfect vacation read.
I received a review copy of this book from the author but was under no obligation to post a positive review. The opinions expressed are both honest and my own.
This book begins with a “bang” and the action doesn’t let up during the entire book! It was a fantastic blend of great characters, edge-of-your-seat suspense and trying to figure out what was really going on. Carly Winslow is just a regular nanny for a darling baby, Mia. She hears gunshots through the baby monitor and escapes with baby Mia in tow out into the woods in the backyard. I admired Carly’s character through the whole book. She put her life on the line for Mia time and again even though it wasn’t her child. I would hope I’d do the same! As she is in the woods, she is chased by “the bad guys” but is suddenly helped out by “Whit”, who claims to be the baby’s uncle. Of course she is leery because she’s never heard of him! However, with the bad guys closing in, she accepts his help and Carly & Whit begin an adventure that takes them all over the place trying to escape people who are trying to kidnap baby Mia. When the authorities eventually are contacted, they find out Mia’s parents were abducted so everything is a race against time. I literally couldn’t put this book down until I finished it and there were so many surprises! I definitely recommend it!
