Sequel to "Cradle of Secrets."

In this book, Sonny is trying to get out of Columbia with her baby niece who she had to kidnap from a bad guy who kidnapped her from her mother (you just have to read the first story to really understand). But when she tires to board a plane, Gil, who is a bounty hunter searching for Cash, her brother, detains her. My heart actually went out to the woman and baby at the thought of what a bummer this turn of events went.

When Gil is finally able to reunite Sonny with her father, there is an interesting "meeting" between Daddy and Gil that takes place (we'll call it a come to Jesus meeting).

The romance is a bit stiff and poorly developed. The action was pretty strong throughout the book.

In her letter concluding the book, the author mentioned that she was working on Cash's story, but I've checked her book list and apparently she never published it, which is sad since there were a lot of loose ends at the end of the book - hence only giving three stars...

This storyline was okay. It was nice book to read to see what happens to baby Ellie. I wish this book was suspenseful like the first one. All I Want For Christmas Is You is still my favorite book by this author.
