A Review of

Jordyn Redwood Taken Hostage (Love Inspired Books, 2017)
                                $5.99   217 pp   ISBN: 978-0-373-45732-8)

Reviewer:  Forrest Schultz


     Jordyn Redwood’s excellent Bloodline Trilogy (2012 & 2013) consisted of a skillful blend of medical and criminal suspense.  Her latest novel (under review here) is not only a worthy successor but also includes strong elements of espionage and romance.  Her afterword to the reader provides the source of her inspiration – two contemporary medical research programs.  And, finally, in the backstory, is the psychological dynamic of the resentment of a man at the superiority of a woman, which is expressed against the main character – neurosurgeon Regan Lockhart – first by her husband and then by her research partner!  As the story opens she then falls in love with the brother of her patient, Colby Waterson, when he becomes her protector against the bad guys who kidnap her and then try to force her to create a biological weapon.  Sooo, there is a lot going on and a lot to think about.   For information on the author you can visit her website at www.jordynredwood.com
