    About this audiobook

    As a thirty-two-year-old, single restaurant manager, Jenna McClure is all too aware of her ticking biological clock. Elizabeth Demauer, a fertility clinic doctor, helps her patients bear children—a joy she can never share. But these two women have more in common than just a yearning for motherhood. When they cross paths, Elizabeth sees not only the sister she never knew existed but the once-in-a-lifetime chance to realize her deepest desire…by any means necessary.

    Together with her lover—a rogue physician and charismatic cult leader—Elizabeth masterminds the ultimate theft. But their carefully laid plans could be derailed by Eric Troutman, the heroic reporter who’s fallen in love with Jenna and will stop at nothing to solve her sudden disappearance. And the more his relentless investigation tightens the noose around Elizabeth and David, the more their “victimless crime” threatens to become anything but.

      I was on the edge of my seat throughout this whole book. I was totally engrossed in this story, with the characters and waiting for the end result. Several twist and turns, romance with thrills, murders, and an unexpected little helper. It was written so well, it was as if a movie was playing out with each sentence I read. I loved it! This book was bought through Amazon

      Very interesting. My attention was kept through out the book. I found very few parts boring to be honest.I received this book free of charge and am in way bound to give a positive review nor was I paid for my review.

      I recieved this book as part of the giveaway in exchange for a review.The book was alright but not my favorite read, I think it was more to do with the topic than the writing. I had a hard time getting into it but I think the author has a lot to offer and maybe one of the next books that comes out will have a topic I'm more interested in. Other than that the book was well written and the characters were developed nicely.

      In The Baby Thief, when Jenna MClure walks into Dr. Elizabeth Demauer’s office, hoping that the doctor will aid her quest to have a baby, it sets off a series of events that will change the lives of both women forever. A violent robbery shatters the calm safety of Jenna’s world. In the aftermath, she meets with a reporter Eric Troutman, who may hold the promise of a bright future. Elizabeth is a troubled young woman, with a secret connection to Jenna’s past. Jenna has something she wants. Elizabeth jeopardizes her future and practice to have it. She’s caught in the spell of a disgraced Dr. David Carmichael, who carries out medical experiments in a secretive religious community. Jenna, Elizabeth and David are all hiding secrets and Eric is on a determined quest to learn everything. This is the first L.J.Sellers’ book I have read, but it will not be the last. She is brilliant at sketching her characters in full, most of them beautiful but all inherently flawed. It is easy to feel sympathy for everyone, even her villains, who let their pride and desires guide them to commit unspeakable crimes. L.J. Sellers is also a master at pacing and knows how to keep a reader engrossed.
    • 4/5
      I realy enjoyed this book, it was an easy read but kept me engaged throughout. The book showed a different side to the possiblities of fertility and to what lengths a person might go to in thier quest for a child. I will definately be looking at this author's other books and will read more from her in the future.
    • 4/5
      Just finished The Baby Thief; enjoyed it very much. I won an e-copy of it from L.J. Sellers on Library Thing. Thanks so much! I love thrillers and this sure is one! Even the baby thief Elizabeth was a person you really felt sorry for; to violate her medical ethics to fulfill a personal need. She really wasn't meant to be a mother; and could not even face the punishment for what she did. I don't want to give away too much of the story. If you like suspense; read this book. I also plan to read The Suicide Effect which was previewed at the end of the book.
    • 5/5
      The topic itself made me want to read this, and my instincts weren't wrong! This book was great!It pulled me in from the first few pages and just accelerated my interest from there! Few books have the ability to catch my attention like this one did, and it was one of the best reads I've had in awhile. Definitely recommended!
