A friend (MH) sent me this book in a box of books. I don't recall reading this author before.

The story was interesting and fast paced. I found it hard to put down. So I would say this is better than most Love Inspired Suspense. I did guess who would be involved before the author revealed it. That's not something I can usually do, so if you're someone who does, you may not enjoy it as much.

As with most Love Inspired Suspense books, I do feel that the romance part works best when there's a previous history between the two main characters. In this book, the two main characters are married though they've been separated for over a decade.

The author manages to have a fresh-feeling take on the current human trafficking fiction trend. (I agree it is a subject that needs to be discussed, but it's also a subject that seems to be prevalent in romantic suspense fiction right now.) ( )

Multiple attempts on Rebecca’s life (within the first chapter), an old flame returned to town, and questions about who she can trust with information about a suspected baby selling ring make Risky Return a book that was hard to set down.

Virginia Vaughan balances the intense danger and suspense with the personal past of Rebecca and Collin (and oh, boy, is there a lot for these two to sort through). I think most readers can relate to making—and later regretting—some bigger decisions in their youth they would approach differently in their life-experience wisdom.

This is another high octane, pedal to the medal story that meets every expectation I expect from the Love Inspired Suspense line of books
