    About this audiobook

    Nikki Wright is desperate to help her brother, Bobby, who hasn’t been the same since escaping from a detainment camp run by terrorists in Colombia. Rumor has it that he betrayed his navy brothers and conspired with those who held him hostage, and both the press and the military are hounding him for answers. All Nikki wants is to shield her brother so he has time to recover and heal.

    But soon they realize the paparazzi are the least of their worries. When a group of men try to abduct Nikki and her brother, Bobby insists that Kade Wheaton, another former SEAL, can keep them out of harm’s way. But can Nikki trust Kade? After all, the man who broke her heart eight years ago is anything but safe…

    Hiding out in a farmhouse on the Chesapeake Bay, Nikki finds her loyalties—and the remnants of her long-held faith—tested as she and Kade put aside their differences to keep Bobby’s increasingly erratic behavior under wraps. But when Bobby disappears, Nikki will have to trust Kade completely if she wants to uncover the truth about a rumored conspiracy. Nikki’s life—and the fate of the nation—depends on it.

      Excellent story. Not too much romantic hush. Good plot. Really liked the reader. She didn’t try to sound all fakely gruff when a man talked, yet there was almost trouble following who was speaking!

      Christy redeemed herself with me with this title. I read a series from her before and was a bit turned off but this story was pretty good. I would definitely recommend it

      Title: DisillusionedAuthor: Christy BarrittPages: 288Year: 2016Publisher: WaterfallMy rating is 5 stars.I became a fan of Christy’s books when I read some of her Love Inspired Suspense stories. Christy knows how to write in a way that grabs a reader so fast that one cannot help but get lost in the book for hours! Here, in Disillusioned, Christy did a magnificent job of sometimes throwing off this reader with twists and turns in the plot or adding characters. The main female is Nikki Wright who has been helping her brother get out of trouble or dangerous spots that have recently been putting her in life threatening situations too.Booby seems to have some mental issues going on as he tries to figure out if what he heard in captivity is real or not. The medication seems to help Bobby until it is analyzed as requested by Nikki’s former boyfriend and SEAL Kade. Nikki, Bobby and Kade are always on the run or dodging a pursuit and never sure who they can or cannot trust. When the threat for terrorism is revealed, none of the main characters is sure who the leader is as he/she only is known by the name “Ace”.When I came to the ending and read who actually was known as “Ace”, I was surprised, but that wasn’t the end of the story. No, it was the beginning of the heightened climax as Nikki, Kade and Kade’s friend are in mortal danger. Plus, Bobby has been missing and off his meds and with his training in the military he is one hard man to find! The novel is somewhat reflective of what is happening in modern day society with home grown terrorists and those who are on watch for threats to this nation.I really enjoyed the action, adventure and yes the reigniting of a romance that a couple of characters thought was long over. For an enjoyable and suspense filled ride, here is a book that fits that bill, so please don’t pass on it! In fact, you might consider either sharing your copy or giving one as a gift to other readers you know!Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog.

      With a ripped-from-the-headlines feel, adrenaline-laced action, and romantic sparks galore, Disillusioned by Christy Barritt is a sure bet for fans of the romantic suspense genre who want a spiritual component as well. This edge-of-your-seat novel has great characters and a plausible and all too scary-real premise. With terrorists and government agents chasing them, Nikki and Kade are determined to find the truth behind Nikki’s brother’s kidnapping and escape from the Columbian-based ARM. Along the way they encounter friends and foes — it’s just really difficult to figure out which is which. These characters run the gamut from the conspiracy theorist to rogue FBI agent to bookmobile driver and add both fun and fear to the story. For those who love a good romance, Nikki and Kade discover a rekindling of love, complete with lots of sizzle. But past betrayals and disillusionment prove big obstacles to overcome. Disillusioned explores God’s role in our lives — the good as well as the bad. It’s hard to trust Him when you know He can intervene and He seemingly doesn’t. But as Nikki soon finds out [she] desperately missed having God in [her] life, only [she] didn’t realize it. Boy, can I relate! When we finally come back to Him, it’s amazing! Amazing response from God and amazing that we took so long!So if you are looking for a twisting, turning, fast ride of a read with characters that are real and relatable and truths to touch your heart, then check out Disillusioned.Recommended.Audience: adults.(Thanks to the author for a review copy. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)
    • 5/5
      Disillusioned was a very suspenseful book that kept me guessing until the end. Just about the time I thought I had something figured out, it would either turn out to be something else, or right with a twist. I really enjoy that about the author's books and it keeps me waiting for more. I also liked how it addressed how some of the people who come back from the military need help and that there are many different ways to address that. In the book Nikki has to do all she can to keep her bother safe, as well as help him to overcome some of the issues he has had since coming back from Columbia. She is not sure who exactly she can trust, but her brother feels like they can trust Kade, who is a former SEAL. Since Nikki has a past with Kade, she is unsure of working with him, but does what she thinks best. I received a copy of the book from the author to read and review.
