In the final book of the Eden's Children Series, we find out what happened to Naomi Cross' kidnapped daughter, Sadie. Naomi uses the help of Alex Dewitt in figuring out why Sadie was taken. Alex has some history of his own, including a daughter of whom her grandfather is trying to seek custody. Alex creates a proposal that will solve both Naomi's and his problems.

Amanda Stevens continues to use great illustrations for her characters. This is another fast paced quick read. There is not a lot of overwhelming romance, which makes the series a plus. Amanda Stevens uses the romance to add to the mystery and suspense of the plot. The descriptions of the plot and scenery are realistic and the reader is able to picture what is going on within the book.

This is by far one of the best romance series that this reviewer has read.

The book will not bore the reader since it moves along very quickly. There is always some sort of action going on within the plotline.
