When Texas Ranger Dallas Sanders' panicked daughter calls and the call suddenly drops, he rushes to find her. She's babysitting his infant nephew, Brady. Arriving at the house, he discovers his daughter has been knocked out and the baby is gone. His first priority is to get his daughter some medical attention. His second is to find his nephew. As he begins to investigate, he discovers the chilling truth that Brady isn't the first baby to disappear in this way. Could there be a kidnapping ring operating in his territory?

Sheriff Rachel Young is newly-elected to her post and has something to prove to her opponents. She also has an infant daughter to protect. When a baby is kidnapped in her county, she takes it personally. All of the clues point to a kidnapping ring. When a second baby goes missing, she is increasingly focused on stopping them. With her dad, the former sheriff, protecting her daughter, she feels safe leaving her, but what happens when the kidnappers find a way to get to her? Can she continue to close in on the kidnappers when her daughter's life is threatened?

As Dallas and Rachel race to find the kidnappers and protect those they love most, they find their hearts becoming ever more entwined. Could someone on the inside at her department be working against them or is there a Ranger who is on the kidnappers' payroll? Someone is feeding them info because they seem to know every move Dallas and Rachel will make before they make it. Will they be able to find out who it is, and stop them, before Rachel's daughter and Dallas's nephew disappear forever?

This book is why I like to read Harlequin Love Inspired Suspense! They have some of the best authors in the business writing for them, and Margaret Daley is right up there near the top. The suspense thread in this book is intense, and while there is romance here, it never takes the focus from the baby-napping storyline. I give this one the full five star treatment!

Texas Baby Pursuit was one of those stories that just breaks your heart. It starts out with the hero's daughter calling him that someone kidnapped the baby and you could just feel the shock and emotion in that call. As the story continued, you find out that there is a whole lot more to the story than just the kidnapping and there were several twists.

I didn't care for the romance that much. Mainly because it just felt a bit too rushed at times and I just didn't love it. The ending was intense and I liked how everything got wrapped up nicely.

All in all, Texas Baby Pursuit was a good read and I liked it.

Love a book about a Texas law man. Enjoyed this story of, not only mystery but of love and second chances. Thank you NetGallery and to the publishers for letting me read this story.

When Ranger Dallas Sanders finds out that his baby nephew was kidnapped with the help of local Sheriff Rachel Young they find ties to a child trafficking ring. As they get deeper into the case things heat up for not only the two but for the traffickers trying to take them down and off the case.

If you ask me I think the bit were it mentions in the description about Rachel's daughter being abducted is a spoiler because that doesn't even happen tell the readers are well over 75% into the book. Anyways this was a pretty great book this was book as full of mystery and suspense. It was fast paced and had plenty to keep the readers hooked. I enjoyed seeing the two work together on the case. Also I liked how although there is a minor romance going on it didn't over power the mission they were on. There really wasn't time to be playing around while the child could be getting farther and farther way from their reach. Overall this was a pretty great book. I really enjoyed it.

After the death of her husband, big city cop Rachel Young takes the job of becoming the sheriff of a small Texas town to be with her parents, who can help her care for her young daughter, Katie.



Texas Ranger Dallas Sanders stops by to introduce himself to the new sheriff, when they get a call from Dallas's teenage daughter, Michelle, who was babysitting her cousin, when someone broke in and took him. Dallas's top concern is the safety of his daughter, and he wants to do everything that he can to help Rachel catch the kidnapper who took his nephew.



Rachel's father was the sheriff before her, and their house has top notch security, so she invites Dallas and Michelle to come and stay with them during the investigation. During that time Rachel and Dallas get to know each other more personally while working together to get his nephew back. Michelle is a great help and wants to do everything that she can to help them.



Dallas has been through fire and back again, he does his best to live with integrity and faith. He is great at his job and is very resourceful. I really liked how this book talks about his struggles, and faith hasn't come easy for him, he's had his dark times and doubts in the past.



Rachel is a strong woman and mother, she is determined to do her duty, and she won't back down. I admired her respect for Dallas, and how seeing his faith in action makes her take a look at herself and how she's been living. Rachel and Dallas make a great team, and are very supportive of each other throughout.



A fast paced read, with a lot going on, and plenty of action. Rachel and Dallas work well together, and are both likable, strong characters. I like how the case brings them together, using their God-given strengths to protect and serve. A highly enjoyable read!

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.

Quick read. First his nephew, then her daughter. Will they find who took them? Busy up the kidnapping ring before ours to late? Intense story. Love the love inspired suspense books.

What could possibly be a parent's worst nightmare? The kidnapping of your child of course. For Texas Ranger, Dallas Sanders, this is what is happening when his nephew is kidnapped while his teenage daughter is babysitting. Joined by new town sheriff, Rachel Young, they start investigating only for Rachel's baby girl to also get kidnapped shortly after. A baby smuggling ring is discovered and emotions run even higher. This book is full of emotional turmoil, twists of the heart, and sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat, nail-biting suspense. It is that good. I highly recommend!

A story that will rip you heart out, and it does happen, my mind doesn’t even want to go there, but this read was a page-turner from beginning to end, and you can’t wait to find out what happens.
Babies being kidnapped, but why, because someone wanted a child, or worse selling them? What the author gives us is mind chilling, and we are constantly waiting for the next move, and heaven forbid another baby goes missing.
You soon begin to care about the characters here, but are they going to all survive? Will this team be able to bring back the loved ones? Answers are here, and we do get an outcome, but will it be what we want it to be?
This is the third book in this series, but it can stand alone, a don’t miss read.

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin, and was not required to give a positive review.

This one tugged at my heart. Dallas' nephew is kidnapped while his daughter is babysitting. Though he isn't on duty, he is going to help with the investigation. Rachel is the new sheriff and is having to deal with a heckler in the form of her former opponent.
There was plenty of action throughout the book. It focused on a tough subject, human trafficking and I think the author did a wonderful job with it. The relationship between Rachel and her parents was great and I adored watching them interact not only with their granddaughter but with Dallas' daughter as well. The relationship and how it progressed between Dallas and Rachel was good to watch and realistic.
It was a 4/5 for me. I truly enjoyed it.

Thank you to the publisher for the review copy of this book. I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above are 100% mine.

"Texas Baby Pursuit" is a Christian romantic suspense. It is the fourth in a series, but it reads like a stand alone. The hero and heroine were both law enforcement officers, and they worked together to question people and track down clues. They were competent at their jobs. The suspense came from the need to rescue the babies before they were sold off and from several attacks on the heroine.

The hero and heroine supported and respected each other and built each other up. Each had a bad relationship in the past that left them questioning their judgment when picking a romantic partner, but they talked this out together and worked through the issues that held them back. They were attracted to the other's character and personality, not only their looks. I appreciate authors who show this kind of relationship.

The Christian theme was the heroine feeling like God had let her down and questioning why a good God would allow evil to occur. There was no bad language or sex. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting novel.
