Canyon of Deceit by DiAnn Mills

Therese Palmer is a wilderness survival expert who gets called to search for a kidnapped child.  She reaches out to Texas Ranger Blane Gardner for help, who she has known for awhile. It's a dicey rescue as the child is the child of a Russian professor who is teaching in the US.  He wants no police involved.

The book started out slow.  There was a lot of descriptions about how to hike and rock climb.  I found myself skipping pages to get through all of that.  About half way through the book I felt the actual story line began.  With Therese and Blane going after the child.  I didn't skip a lot of pages in the last half.

I did like the fact that this wasn't a love at first sight book.  Therese and Blane has know each other and had even dated a few times.  Therese wouldn't go out on any more dates with Blane when she found out he wasn't interested in God.  

I've always been a fan of DiAnn Mills books.  But this one just didn't hit the mark for me.

I received a copy of this book from Tyndale Publishing via Net/Galley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
