Christian romance with a lot of zing!

Myles Parsons is trouble. Kenzie knows it from the time he walks into her prison GED class, upsetting her routine with his piercing blue eyes and impertinent smile. Small she may be, but Kenzie Thorn is no pushover. She can be sweet, but she can be spicy as well, and the saucy redhead has no intention of allowing an inmate--even one as handsome as her new student--to intimidate her. But Myles does much worse. When he kidnaps her, then tries to convince her he's Myles Borden, an undercover FBI agent whose goal is to keep her safe from someone who wants her dead, Kenzie has a hard time believing him. But then he places himself in mortal danger protecting her ... why would he do such a thing, if he's really out to do her harm? When she tries to return the favor by tending to his wounds, Kenzie finds her heart could be in far more danger from Myles than her body ever was. Myles' plan included removing Kenzie from harm's way, then removing himself from her vicinity, no matter how cute, angry or frightened she is. But circumstances get in the way, and he finds himself thrust into the company of the sweet and spicy GED instructor longer than is safe for his heart. As she tends to his physical wounds, and he strives to keep her safe from an unknown enemy, Myles finds himself falling in love. Liz Johnson's debut novel is a charmingly sweet romance with just the right dose of mystery and suspense. From prison to mountain cabin, and back to city streets that harbor dangerous unseen assailants, Ms. Johnson takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride of emotion and action that keeps the pages turning fast enough to stir up a whirlwind of anticipation and interest. A well-written tale with a number of unexpected twists along the way. Beautifully done!

Betrayal You'd Never Expect

Every girl wants a little adventure in her life now and then, but being kidnapped certainly wasn't the type of adventure that Kenzie Thorn would have expected. Kenzie knows that her job teaching prison inmates might be a bit dangerous, as is being the granddaughter of the governor, but she never expected something like this. When she's kidnapped by one of her new students she's not sure she's going to come through the experience alive. The Kidnapping of Kenzie Thorn is a wonderful debut novel from author Liz Johnson. With just the right amounts of drama, suspense and romance, Johnson weaves a tale that will keep you reading late into the night. This is a great summer read!

Summer MUST READ!

I read and review many books, and I have to admit that I did not expect more than a good read out of an author's first book. But I was blown away! Liz did an amazing job and I highly recommend this book. I could not put it down and read during my child's Bacheloreate instead of paying attention to the speakers! Could not put it down!!!! Super job, Liz! I can't wait for your next book!

Great debut novel

The Kidnapping of Kenzie Thorn is a wonderful debut novel. While some romance novels can be sappy or unbelievable, this one certainly was not. Liz Johnson's characters have personality and story has a couple of turns that you wouldn't expect.

Adventure with a twist of romance

I was pleasantly surprised that this is not your average romance novel. There is a solid adventure here, with characters that appear to be actual practicing Christians. The romance element may be a bit too Stockholm-Sydrome for my tastes, but was not sickening or overdone. The characters are relatively real feeling, and the setting is nicely painted. Definitely an enjoyable read from a new author.
