The chemistry between Jill and Hayden is off the charts,
but the past needs to be put to rest if they plan a future
together. The one-time town bad boy is now a former SEAL
turned town sheriff and the moment he sees Jillian West
again he knows things are not over for either of them.
Years ago Jill had been the victim of an ABDUCTION but
luckily Hayden Black, the town bad boy was able to rescue
her, but another girl, Christy Anderson was not so lucky.
For years Jill had survivor's guilt and it led to her work
in the FBI CARD (Children's Abduction Rapid Deployment)
unit. Even on vacation she can't seem to not work. While
back in her hometown she plans to look into the cold case
of her friend Christy and see if she can, with her
background, find a lead. She doesn't expect Hayden to be
there and certainly not as the sheriff. He was someone who
broke her young heart and now someone she will have to work
closely with, if they plan to close this cold case,
and save another abducted young woman.
Hayden might have rescued Jill all those years ago, but he
never felt good enough for her so he became a SEAL, trying
to prove himself. Now that Jill is home, he has
only two things in mind: protect the woman he has always
loved and get her to love him again.
ABDUCTION is a fast-paced, thriller with the perfect amount
of romance thrown into the mix. I usually get a vibe about
a couple when reading a book, but in this one, though the
chemistry was off the charts, I had trouble imagining them
together as a forever couple. After getting further into
the book my initial reservations eased and I wanted them to
get their HEA
and find the bad guy, especially after realizing that
neither of them had overcome their feelings for one
another. Jill is a survivor, who became an agent so she
could save others, especially children but she had left her
heart in the town called Hope. Hayden became a SEAL but not
for the adventure as he told Jill back in the day, in
truth, he had to let her go so she could do what she had to
do in life and not be held back by him.
When I am reading a mystery such as ABDUCTION I find myself
playing the detective (cop, sheriff, agent, etc.) and try
to figure out the bad guy and in this one I failed. The
real bad guy was a very interesting twist to the plot and
he was on my shortlist but not number 1. Ms.
Eden certainly knows how to lead her readers down one trail
only to twist them back up another, all the while giving
her characters hits of real life and love. If you want an
intriguing mystery, with a sweet second chance romance,
with just the right amount of twists and turns to throw you
off (or lead you to the right finale) the ABDUCTION is just
what you need.
New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Eden has killer
instincts when it comes to breathtaking
suspense!
Once the town
troublemaker, Sheriff Hayden Black became the teen hero who
saved young Jillian West from a savage kidnapper. He never
got over their brief affair. Now the ex-SEAL and the
burned-out FBI agent have reunited in their Florida hometown
and rediscovered their powerful attraction. But as they hunt
down a long-forgotten killer, will they get a second chance
at happiness? When a series of accidents begins to plague
Jill, Hayden won't let her fall victim again. There's too
much history between them…and too much desire.
