Welcome to the Blog Tour for Kidnapped for Ransom by Jacqueline Adam, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: Kidnapped for Ransom 
Author: Jacqueline Adam 
Publisher: Love Inspired Suspense 
Release Date: October 28, 2025 
Genre: Romantic Suspense

Abduction is only the beginning… 
Will murder be next?

Doctor Chelsea Eidman thought she’d finally escaped the perils of her late husband’s secret life as a diamond thief—until his former accomplice attacks her. The danger escalates when a vengeful mobster kidnaps Chelsea’s daughter and friend, demanding the stolen diamonds in exchange for their lives. To recover the gems, Chelsea joins forces with officer Matt Reynolds, whose sister has also been abducted. As they race against time, they find themselves in deadly pursuits across harsh terrain. With everything on the line, Chelsea and Matt must outsmart their enemies and unravel a web of lies…before their families pay the ultimate price.  

I came to enjoy Romantic Suspense novels a few years ago and have been hooked ever since. Kidnapped for Ransom by Jacqueline Adam is the latest in this genre that I have read. 

WOW, this storyline captured my attention from page 1 and I did not stop reading until I finished 3 hours later. The main characters in this book are Doctor Chelsea Eidman and Matt Reynolds, a police officer. Chelsea is a recent widow and is navigating the discovery that her late husband was a Diamond Thief. She has no clue to his double life until after he passed away. The story really gets suspenseful and interesting when Chelsea is attacked and her daughter is kidnapped. 2 others are also kidnapped, including Matt Reynolds Sister. Chelsea and Matt decide to work together on this case as they know that have to act fact to rescue the kidnapped. Chelsea and Matt were childhood friends and throughout the Mystery of the Kidnapping, they begin to grow closer to one another. The book has many twists and turns and is action packed throughout. I LOVE how the storyline also has Christian elements. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Romance with Suspense. GREAT BOOK!

TAKE A PEAK INSIDE THE BOOK

I have enjoyed the Adventures in Odyssey books for many years, especially when my Boys were little. The Imagination Station series is one of the series we truly enjoyed. The newest book, Drought, Wind, and Fire is the story of the Prophet Elijah. Elijah is dealing with challenging times with the land going through a drought, but he puts in hope and trust in God. He leads the people of the land through the struggles and he also hopes they can put their trust in God.  The story also shows Patrick and Beth that God can give them strength and knowledge to make it through tough circumstances in life. 

The series has sold over 1 Million Books and very well liked by many kids. Families also love it because they are filled with Christian Content and are Historically Accurate. The books make GREAT gifts for kids aged 7 -12. I HIGHLY recommend this series for young kids and families! GREAT SERIES!

Connie Kallback grew up on the plains of Cheyenne, Wyoming, attended the University of Wyoming, and graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle. She transitioned from English teacher to publishing in New Jersey with CCMI/McGraw-Hill, Prentice Hall, and CPP, Inc, in positions from writer to acquisitions and managing editor. Her early writing, penned while teaching, appeared in magazines, newspapers and literary journals. No longer wearing the hats of Mary Poppins or Sherlock Holmes, necessities of raising six children in two separate families, she writes in South Carolina where she lives with her husband.

 

 

More from Connie

The idea for Chasing the Blue Boat began with the memory of a dangerous escapade from my early childhood years. The thought of it scares me to this day.

I grew up in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and lived one block from the Wyoming State Capitol Building. One day I followed my older brother there, up nearly 20 steps from the ground to the grand side entrance with giant doors flanked by a waist-high wall and soaring support columns. We scaled the wall close to the building and placed our feet on an architectural ledge that circled the entire structure. Hoping to follow it all the way around, we began to sidle sideways, hugging the stone.

I remember being scared, but my unrealistic stage of thinking made me hope the grass would break my fall!

We made it around the first corner – I don’t know how – and continued along the front until a woman in an office inside spotted me. Knowing we shouldn’t be there, we reversed our steps and ran home.

That’s how the fictional coming-of-age story begins. Dana, the young girl, joins her brother in many adventures before a tragedy changes her whole family and sends each of them on separate journeys of suffering, accompanied by hope and forgiveness.
