Baby Bailino

Baby Grand Trilogy, Book 2

De: Dina Santorelli

Narrado por: Daniel Penz

She hoped she’d never see him again. But then he kidnapped another little girl. Her daughter. Their daughter.

It's been two years since Jamie Carter escaped captivity and saved Charlotte Grand, the infant daughter of New York Governor Phillip Grand, becoming a national hero for foiling the kidnapping plot that incarcerated reputed mobster/entrepreneur Don Bailino—the man who abducted and raped her. As Governor Grand considers his candidacy for U.S. president, Bailino inexplicably escapes from prison, and soon Jamie's fifteen-month-old daughter, Faith—Bailino’s biological child—disappears. Jamie sets off to find her and, in the process, finds an unlikely ally in Bailino, who is on the run not only from the FBI but from members of organized crime who have a score to settle. Can Jamie trust the man who once held her prisoner? Can she rely on her instincts? And can she again find the strength to save a child when, this time, that child is her own?

Can you say Luke and Laura?

Although the story is interesting it seems like we are being asked to like a rapist and murderer.
I like the narrator’s voice, I think he’s good but I wish he didn’t use quite so much emotional drama and make so many of the characters sound cartoonishly stupid.

Redemption

I know I should greatly dislike and/hate Don Bailing, but his love for Jamie, Faith, and Joey redeems him...in my eyes. Of course, he deserves punishment for what he did to Jamie. Absolutely. And the horrific murders he's carried out aren't justified in the slightest...except for Leo. But he was kind to Reynaldo, and he did attempt to help the old man who's car had been hit by that crazy kid driver. Even bad people deserve redemption...don't they?
