Emotionally complex -- Highly recommended

A deadly firewall moves through the Rocky Mountains, threatening a lost four-year-old boy. A simple accident had separated him from his mother Kelly Malone. Now she must ask the help of the best search and rescue worker she knows, Buzz, her ex-husband. But she never told him that they share a child. Seeing Buzz again makes Kelly realize that she had never gotten him out of her system. Buzz made it clear that he never wanted children, even when it destroyed his marriage. Kelly's revelations leaves him stunned, and he knows that he must keep his dark and volatile emotions under check if he is to find his son. Worse, he knows that if he gives in to the impulse to offer Kelly comfort, he opens a door he had worked very hard to close, no matter what lies on the other side. Author Linda Castillo creates an emotionally complex romantic suspense in A CRY IN THE NIGHT. As Kelly and Buzz listen for a cry in the night, the voice of their lost child, they confront the pain of the past and tentative hope for the future in every glance and every touch. Their child's periodic point of view adds an entrancing innocence that sharply juxtaposes the dangers of him wandering lost and alone in the wilderness. A compelling novel that readers will find impossible to put down, A CRY IN THE NIGHT comes highly recommended.

Gripping and Emotional

Rocky Mountain Search and Rescue is back! This time it's Buzz Malone, searching for a four-year-old boy lost on a mountain with an out-of-control forest fire headed his way. Worse, the victim isn't just any little boy--it's his son, a child he never knew he had until he was in danger of losing him. His ex-wife, Kelly, had kept little Eddie a secret because Buzz had made it clear he did not want children. Now Buzz and Kelly must join forces, putting their differences aside to track Eddie down before something terrible happens. In this gripping, emotional story, Linda Castillo deftly blends the turbulent feelings of a couple who love almost too deeply, pitted against the indifferent ravages of nature. The richly drawn setting adds intensity to the story, and the action scenes, depicted in a fresh and bold manner, kept the pages turning. A great read from a consistently entertaining author. (And the eye-catching cover doesn't hurt matters!)
