Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Rachel Ann Nunes learned to read when she was four, beginning a lifetime fascination with the written word. She avidly devoured books then and still reads everything she can lay hands on, from children's stories to science articles. She began writing in the seventh grade and is now the author of over fifty published books.

Rachel and her husband, TJ, are the parents of three boys and four girls. Rachel loves camping with her family, traveling and meeting new people, and, of course, writing. As a stay-at-home mother of seven, it isn't easy to find time to write, but she will trade washing dishes or weeding the garden for an hour at the computer any day! Her only rule about writing is to never eat chocolate at the computer. "Since I love chocolate and writing," she jokes, "my family might never see me again." Rachel writes Monday through Friday in a home office, often with a child on her lap. She takes frequent breaks from writing to build Lego towers, practice reading, or go swimming with the kids.

Nunes always has such memorable characters! I love how real she makes them and how she presents the issues and conflicts they face within her stories. I learned a lot from this book about the dangers of drugs in the homes of children and the choices made by parents who love them. Real eye opener for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Where is Madeline?

Saving Madeline by Rachel Ann Nunes

Today I'm telling about one of my favorite romance authors, Rachel Ann Nunes. She has not disappointed me with her newest novel, Saving Madeline. It's a story about a hard-working, dedicated defense attorney, Caitlin McLoughlin, with daily challenges in her professional and personal life. Her new client, Parker Hathaway, is charged with kidnapping his four-year-old daughter, Madeline. He claims he did it to protect her from her mother's carefully concealed drug use. Can Caitlin find the proof she is looking for before it's too late, or will her client go to prison?

This was a fast-paced story and drew me in immediately. I highly recommend it to everyone, but suggest that you don't start reading it late at night. If you do, you may not get any sleep because you'll have to keep turning the pages to see the next surprising plot twist. It's a story with plenty of suspense, and romance.

I was touched when I realized Rachel received inspiration for this novel after reading newspaper headlines concerning an infant's death after ingesting meth she had found in a plastic bag on the floor of her home. Weeks earlier, her father had forcibly taken her across state lines, hoping to protect her from her mother's substance abuse. Authorities found the child, and placed her back with the mother and sent the father to jail. I'm so glad that this and other true-life experiences inspired Rachel to write such a compelling book. She did an outstanding job telling this story concerning difficult choices.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good quick mystery/suspense/romance. Well-balanced.
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2009
I'll say right out of the gate that I don't normally read "suspense", or "romantic" anything, with the possible exception of Twilight, and that was just to find out what the mammoth worldwide phenomenon was all about.

Still, this being my first venture into Rachel's books in recent memory, I was delighted to realize what I was missing out on. Saving Madeline is hardly chick lit, as I expected it to be. Yes, there is a happy ending, and yes, it involves romance. But that's not the meat of the story.

The main character is Caitlin McLoughlin, a do-good public servant who wants to help the good guy and put the bad guy away. Enter Parker Hathaway, a hard-working father and ex-husband whose had his fair share of run-ins with the law over alcoholism. When his ex-wife shacks up with a drug dealer, Parker fears for the safety of his son and daughter. Despite court orders, Parker makes a quick decision and picks up his daughter (Madeline) and does whatever he can to rescue her from such a dangerous situation.

Naturally this constitutes a run-in with the law, and Caitlin ends up taking the case in order to rescue Madeline. But when she meets Parker and sees him for the good man he really is, she's forced to choose between the letter of the law and what's really right.

The characters are interesting, the conflict is compelling, and the tension is high. Romance, meet suspense; you two will get along so well with each other.

So check it out to see what happens!
