This is Liz Johnson's very first novel, and I was glad to have a chance to review it. The Kidnapping of Kenzie Thorn is an enjoyable romantic suspense novel. It's a fast read, which is what every Mom needs sometimes -- a quick piece of fluff reading. I finished it in a few hours, starting one evening and finishing it the next morning.
The suspense was not overwhelming, but it held my attention well. Even though I went to bed with the story unfinished and near the end, I was able to fall asleep, and I didn't have nightmares. (Yes, I've had that problem with some books or movies in the past.)
The main characters, Kenzie and Myles, are fun and feisty. Their verbal sparring is entertaining, and the story has several interesting plot twists. If you're needing a break, and some light reading, this is the perfect book!

Summary:
Myles Parsons is just another inmate in Kenzie Thorn’s GED course until he kidnaps her, offering only a feeble explanation–that he’s actually FBI Special Agent Myles Borden. Terrified, Kenzie doesn’t want to believe his story of being undercover to protect her. Moreover, she can’t believe that someone might really want her dead.
But just when Myles thinks he has her out of harm’s way, his plans start to fall apart. He attempts to take Kenzie to a safe house—but the stubborn woman won’t go! So together they must uncover the clues that will reveal a most shocking perpetrator. All the while Myles tries to keep his distance from Kenzie … but finds himself falling in love.
