After a disastrous engagement to an abusive boyfriend, Sharee Jones tells God that she’s not dating anymore. If he has someone for her to marry, he’d better just drop the man in front of her. She’s not thinking of the tall, handsome man who moonlights as the church’s maintenance crew of one—a man she feels sure doesn’t know the Lord. Since the tragedy in his own life, John Jergenson wants nothing to do with God, but every time he turns around lately, Sharee is in his face—wanting help with her Christmas program, needing help with her car, even threatening him with a pair of stakes—and talking about God. He’s not sure what to do about her, but he doesn’t like the mutilated dolls they’ve found, or the homeless hitchhiker she picked up, or the fact that she never watches out for herself. With someone terrorizing the new mom at the church, and Sharee playing detective, can he keep his past secret and keep her safe long enough to figure out if he’s ready to love again?Amber Alert is a warm romance, with intrigue, mystery and suspense; a whodunit with heart and faith. And an ACFW Genesis and First Impressions finalist. Best-Selling author Sandra D. Bicker said, “Amber Alert…takes the reader on a suspenseful ride with unexpected twists…and characters you’ll care about.”Author E. J. Willis said that, “The characters…pull you into their story… there's just the right mixture of romance and suspense. If you like Karen Kingsbury or Dee Henderson, I believe you'll enjoy Linda's books as well. They're hard to put down!”

Wow! Linda K. Rodante has a faithful fan in me. Read just one of her books, and you'll be a faithful fan as well. Extremely well written, page turning, surprise burning suspense. Sheree doesn't understand why she's been targeted; John Jergenson doesn't understand why she has either. All he knows is that he's drawn to her, feels called to protect her, and feels himself being drawn back to the God he'd started to wander away from. If you like Dee Henderson, grab this book, read it first, then follow with As Long As You Both Shall Live and Looking for Justice. Each book stands well on its own but is very enhanced by the other books in the series. Then wait with me — impatiently — for her next book this summer.
I had a hard time putting this book down. It brings thing like doing hard things for Jesus, what happens when we get mad at God for circumstances in our life, where is God when bad things happen. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading Looking For Justice
Finally someone who cares about romantic suspense and psychological issues in the church! No sugar-coating here! I'm glad to find a like-minded author, and couldn't put the book down. It was never slow!The beginning was a bit confusing because she threw so many church members at us, and, every once in awhile, there was a talking head problem where I didn't know who was saying what at times, but those would be my only criticisms.I appreciated all of the characters, even bull-headed Sharee :-D, and truly loved John and his growth as a character. Good twist too!
It's a good attempt at Christian Romantic Suspense. At the beginning of the book, I was a bit confused. So many characters seem to have events in their past that we, the readers, don't know about, and it seems many of these events have caused the characters to have a secret. It was tough sometimes to remember which hints about the events/secrets went with which character. I did like that many of the characters had to deal with parts of their secrets during the course of the novel. I liked RayAnn reaching out to Abbey and trying to be her friend even when Abbey didn't seem all that loveable to others. I liked that Sharee had beliefs that she held fast to, even when sometimes she wanted to do the opposite.From the title, I suspected that a child abduction would be a plot point in the book, but I expected it to happen earlier. By the time it happened, it almost felt like an afterthought and did not seem to be the main focus of the book. That did make me question the title choice.
The Book:Interfering with Sharee Jones’s Christmas program is mutilated dolls and threatening notes.John Jergenson, a maintenance man at church, helps with the Christmas program. Sharee and John meet and the fireworks begin.My ThoughtsI liked this book because it showed the “realness” of church life. The good and the bad. Within the pages were Issues that Christians face. Linda did a great job of teaching values through fiction.I enjoyed the sparks created by two strong willed people. John had issues from his past, Sharee thinking about her future.Amber Alert is a clean romance, making the characters more interesting.I found myself turning the pages, wanting to know what’s next.
Sharee was upset with John when he didn't share every little secret with her and yet she kept her abusive past relationship a secret from him. BIG inconsistency on her part. All in all an exciting read.
This is a nice romance with a bit of suspense - just the way the author describes it. At first, Sharee seems almost too preachy, but then you realize that that is just her personality. She's committed to God and when she's committed, she goes whole hog into it! And it plays very nicely against John's "God issues." His anger and unwillingness to forgive himself and the Lord are so very real. The story wraps up nicely and I see a sequel here on that is now calling me to read :-) I would recommend this novel to those who enjoy Christian romance with suspense.
Very romantic and suspenseful. The 2 balance out well throughout. At first I thought that sharee was extremely preachy. But as you read you discover her faults. Also you discover that who she is ia whole heartedly devoted to God. BUT she was not perfevt. In fact I related to her in many ways. In the end I didn't feel as though the author was preaching to the reader. Her characters were all fairly well developed full of flaws. While full of suspense and romance the story was also thought provoking and full of spiritual questions and issues.
