Texas Baby Conspiracy by Barb Han is the fourth book in her O’Connor Family series. This series follows a 
family of brothers, who along with their mother, own one of the largest, richest ranches in Texas.
Alyssa Hazel is eight months pregnant and in a tight spot – literally. She couldn’t remember how she got kidnapped and stuck in this confined space but she knew she had to escape when she heard two men talking about torturing her for information. Once she managed to escape she headed straight to her husband Blake O’Connor. But he wasn’t her husband anymore. What? She recalls nothing of the past few months. Alyssa had no clue as to why she had been held. She didn’t know what information those guys thought she knew. One thing she did know was that she needed to keep her unborn baby safe and she trusted Blake O’Connor to do that.
Blake O’Connor was devastated when his wife left him. He couldn’t believe she divorced him without telling him why. When she showed up at his townhouse and told him her story of being kidnapped and memory loss he didn’t know what to think. But he knew for sure he had to keep Alyssa and their unborn daughter, who he had not known about, safe at all costs. Blake is a police office in Houston so he is well equipped to keep Alyssa safe. He trusts his fellow police officers to find Alyssa’s kidnappers and get answers. They just had to succeed since Alyssa seemed to have a target on her back.
Most of the brothers are involved in one form or another with the criminal justice system which is significant since the family is investigating the disappearance of their sister when she was six months old thirty years ago. New clues have the family hoping for results. In this story I found the main characters to be likable and I felt for them as they came face to face for the first time since the divorce. I applaud Alyssa’s bravery in her efforts to protect Blake by stepping away. Blake is shocked to find out why Alyssa left him. There’s lots of action in this storyline and I enjoyed the book.
