The Pulitzer prize winning writer…
Catherine Hemstead Malloy has it all—riches, glamour and
happiness—or so it seems. When her husband dies in an accident, she discovers
she never really had anything at all. Now with nothing but a dismal bank
account and her precious daughter, Cate fights to rebuild her life—until her
daughter is kidnapped. Cate has no money, no resources—why would someone target
her child?
And the knight in shining armor…
Jason St. Pierre doesn't think of himself as a knight,
just a man who does what must be done, lives by his rules and damn the
consequences. He'll move heaven and earth to protect the innocent, and his
heart—he loved once and lost and won't risk it again, especially to Cate
Hemstead.
Their reunion pits them against a kidnapper who is always
one step ahead and takes them on a hunt from the majestic mountains of Colorado
to the idyllic beaches of Hawaii. Can they solve the who-dunnit turned
why-dunnit kidnapping in time to save Cate's daughter?
As
usual, I figured out the ending about half-way through the book, but that’s
just me. It’s my bane—that’s how I would
have written it. Most readers won’t. Ms. Sartor throws in plenty of red herrings
and gives you plenty of people to suspect and plausible of motives for each
one. She keeps you guessing with the
romance between Cate and Jason as well.
Why did Cate leave Jason all those years ago? It’s plain she never stopped loving him and
just as obvious to anyone not distracted by the loss of her child that he never
stopped loving her. How could they have
lived in such close proximity to each other and not realized they still had such
strong feelings for each other? In fact,
I wondered if her child wasn’t actually his.
What an elegant solution that could be.
It could either be the answer to a major dilemma or the ultimate
revenge. You’ll have to read Dare to Believe to find out whether I’m throwing
in my own red herring.

Nice review! But is it really fair to throw in more red herrings? Some of us can't spot the murderer/villain as easily as you!
ReplyDeleteRochelle, Thank for the review, it's wonderful to see that even a "jaded" author/reader who has read so many books, can find a book that deserves your rating. It's an honor to read "that's how I would have done it."
ReplyDeleteThank you for the review, I'm sorry I'm late posting, I couldn't find the link.
