Nikki Wright is desperate to help her brother, Bobby, who hasn’t been the same since escaping from a detainment camp run by terrorists in Colombia. Rumor has it that he betrayed his navy brothers and conspired with those who held him hostage, and both the press and the military are hounding him for answers. All Nikki wants is to shield her brother so he has time to recover and heal.But soon they … soon they realize the paparazzi are the least of their worries. When a group of men try to abduct Nikki and her brother, Bobby insists that Kade Wheaton, another former SEAL, can keep them out of harm’s way. But can Nikki trust Kade? After all, the man who broke her heart eight years ago is anything but safe…
Hiding out in a farmhouse on the Chesapeake Bay, Nikki finds her loyalties—and the remnants of her long-held faith—tested as she and Kade put aside their differences to keep Bobby’s increasingly erratic behavior under wraps. But when Bobby disappears, Nikki will have to trust Kade completely if she wants to uncover the truth about a rumored conspiracy. Nikki’s life—and the fate of the nation—depends on it.

Love this author!
Nikki is glad her soldier brother has been found alive and rescued from South America, but he comes home a very different person. At first, she is sure he isn’t a traitor to the US as some believe, but even Nikki begins to have her doubts as she observes his increasingly odd, and even violent, behavior. As Nikki tries to help her brother and to prove his innocence, she doesn’t know who to believe or who to trust. Thwarted at every turn, she has no choice to trust Kade Wheaton, someone from her past that personally betrayed her once before. As Nikki and Kade hide out in a small town on the Chesapeake Bay and try to find out the truth, her brother disappears, making him look even more guilty. Another great tale of suspense from author Christy Barritt! I read this book while camping in the mountains in Maine. Without electricity there, I ended up sitting up late at night at the picnic table with a propane lantern to read! I couldn’t wait to see what came next and finished it in just a couple of days! I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
What if your brother who had been held hostage by terrorists in Columbia comes home to find himself with mental problems and considered by many to be in collusion with his captors? Nikki Wright is determined to help Bobby recover from his trauma and from those who think he’s guilty. Bobby calls in another former SEAL, Kade Wheaton, to assist them. Nikki would prefer to keep this man, who broke her heart, out of her life. Instead she ends up working closely with him just to survive. Could Bobby’s captivity be part of a bigger plot? Will they ever unravel the tangled web? Are members of the US government involved or is this all the work a terrorist
Christy Barritt is one of my favorite authors. Once again her book takes turns that you don’t expect.
Disillusioned was very exciting and kept you hanging until the very end!
I love Christy Barritt’s mysteries!
This was a fantastic read! I love anything Christy Barrit writes. She is an exceptional Christian fiction writer. Her books are engaging and fast paced and very thought through.
Christie Barrett’s books are always fun to read. She is a wonderful storyteller.
Christy Barritt writes a mystery that is not too intense, but has wonderful characters with unusual professions. They are always an easy and enjoyable read.
I read this one because Christy Barritt is an amazing author, but I just couldn’t get into it the way I had hoped.
unrealistic events. cliche’ romance. I’ve appreciated her other books more.
I didn’t enjoy this book like her other books. Her earlier books are better
Is there anyone she can really trust?
Usually when I get a new book, no matter how it arrives, whether I picked it up or in the mail, I have such a large To-Read pile that I can’t start on it right away. Disillusioned came in the mail, it sat there all morning, it called to me all afternoon, finally by evening I could resist the siren’s song no longer. Whoa! Christy Barritt is one of my absolute favorite authors but she really outdid herself in this one! Hard to believe but it was even better than the book before, Dubiosity, which, until now, was my favorite Christy Barritt book. Disillusioned’s heart-pumping danger, intrigue, and romance quickly ratcheted up to favorite status in only a few pages. I’ve not read many political thrillers, and that’s more what this story seemed to be, but I was totally hooked by this one. Not a single moment of dry dialogue, Christy Barritt keeps the tension high and the story moving at break-neck speed. Truly, if you love this author or just love edge-of-your-seat stories you totally do not want to miss Disillusioned! No one are as they seem and the villain may not be who you think it is….
