This book is filled with suspense, inspiration, and love.
From the first page, I couldn’t put it down
The characters are powerful and the plot is intense.
Laurie Larsen has added a 5-star story to her books.
I really liked this book and the characters were older in life. I could easily relate and the story was believable. Another great book by Laurie Larsen.
You owe it to yourself to read this book. The author draws you in and before you know it, you can’t put the book down. She also makes you think about your own beliefs. I highly recommend this book.
If you like books that have romance and mystery and feel like you know the characters, this is the book for you! Gloria finds a new life after raising her nephews, meets a wonderful man in a cooking class and a mystery included. Has it all!
Loving this new book in the Murrell’s Inlet Series! The characters in this book Gloria and Alejandro were interesting because their story was so down to earth! We all love attraction, faith, mystery, and intrigue in Laurie’s books! Plus a bonus of catching up with other people from previous books is always nice since they feel like family! Read this book, you’ll find it hard to put down!
Gloria is adjusting to being alone. Her nephews have left the nest. Gloria is considering dating. She’s an independent woman who is busy with her daycare and taking care of her home, but she’d like someone to share her life with. I liked that. When she meets Alejandro Rojas, she’s drawn to him. He’s a dedicated police officer as well as a kind man. She hopes that their relationship might grow, but there is a problem. He doesn’t have a relationship with God. As Gloria struggles with this, Alejandro projects her from a dangerous criminal. Can he save her? Seeing them together made me happy. They complete each other. I really wanted them to find the path to happiness. I loved the setting. Murrells Inlet is beautiful and peaceful. A perfect background to their daily stress. Laurie Larsen wrote a romantic and touching story. I hope to visit this beautiful location again.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. My comments are my honest opinion.
A wonderful suspense filled, Christian romance novel from Laurie Larsen. I loved the characters in this book. They pulled me right into the middle of their story and kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next. I love the setting of Murrells Inlet, SC and love how Laurie incorporates real places into her novels. Definitely recommend this book, and all of Laurie’s other books too!
Wow! Be prepared to be pulled into this story. The well-developed main characters, Gloria and Alejandro, are likable and easy to relate to. I loved the close relationship that Gloria had with her best friend. The fast-moving plot has twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. The dialogue flows naturally. I did have some minor theological differences with the characters, however, the way that Gloria lived out her faith is encouraging and makes me want to show that same kind of sacrificial love. There is a fantastic HEA. I hope to read more of Laurie Larsen’s work and highly recommend Seized. I received an ARC. I chose to write a review and share my opinion of this outstanding book.
Gloria deserved her own happiness after changing her life to raise her nephews when their parents died in a house fire. There is an immediate attraction when she and Alejandro meet in one of his niece’s cooking classes. Bachelor Alejandro was a sexy CSI police officer, but he didn’t share Gloria’s faith. Plus he was focused on catching an escaped convict from one of his previous cases as a detective; a criminal who wants revenge and to make it personal. There was plenty of suspense in this Christian novel. It was great to catch up with Blake and Haley and follow up on their happily ever after.
What to do? What to do indeed, now that the boys are grown and doing well the house is empty. Now it’s time for her to do something she put on the back burner raising her nephews. She never regretted supporting them and taking them in when their parents died, but now they are on their own and she’s . . . well now it’s time to find out what she is. The thing I love about this author is the way she brings Christian values, based on biblical theory, clean, exciting without preaching. This time dealing with being unequally yoked, believer with non-believer, whispers from the spirit, it’s all done and done well. The book not only is a thrilling nail biting suspense but also deals with every day issues that people of faith deal with and how the Holy Spirit can guide you through it. Her characters deal with real life issues in real life situations. Okay maybe a little more over the top than our daily lives but you get it. We also get to hook up with some old friends and a few new additions. Loved it!!
Seized is an edge of your seat, suspenseful romance. I was captivated by Gloria and Alejandro. This book stand alone, but it was better because I have read the others. Blake and Haley are an important part of this story. Gloria is suffering a bit with empty nest syndrome. Alejandro has realized that maybe there is more to life than just being a cop. This is a sweet, clean, heart warming romance complicated by a vindictive criminal who wants revenge. I could not put the book down.
One of the best books I’ve read lately
This is my favorite book written by Laurie! Wedding, cooking, mystery…all tied into this book with much more. Gloria and Alejandro and beautiful characters that Laurie has created; they are realistic, loving and kind. I also love how Laurie ties in characters from precious stories so we can see how they are doing! Highly recommend this book…if you haven’t read the other books in this series then you should. Great job, Laurie!
Oh, wow! Loved Alejandro and Gloria’s story!! Alejandro is a police CSI, after being a beat cop and a detective. After being a detective took its toll, he changed to a CSI. When he finds out that the criminal involved in the last case he closed as a detective has escaped from prison, he realizes he led him straight to Gloria. Gloria is dealing with now having an empty nest since her two nephews have moved out. When she meets Alejandro, she thinks she’s found a good match. Until she finds out that he doesn’t believe in God. She thinks their romance might be over before it has a chance to really start. Gloria decides to talk to Alejandro about God, and see if he’s open. When she uses an analogy on him that he can relate to, he becomes more open. As they work together to bring the hunt for the escaped convict to a close, Alejandro learns that a relationship with God can be a very good thing, and that Gloria just might be a gift from God. Then, Alejandro just has to find out how much is real with Gloria, and how much is acting?
I received a complimentary copy of this book, was not required to leave a review, and the opinion expressed is my own.
I really enjoyed Seized. I liked Gloriea’s and Aejandro’’’s romance and the casual way they met. I liked her spunk when she offered herself as bait to catch the criminal. Laurie brought her story all together with finesse. It was really a good read.
