In Salvation by Noelle Adams, Diana, the narrator, is admittedly a naive twenty-three year old. Diane has lived her life thinking life is life the movies and that there will always be a hero who will always arrive to save the day. Diane’s days consist of shopping and deciding what to wear. It is because her dad is an executive at an oil company, which allows her to have a very privileged life. It is not until she is kidnapped because of a bad business deal her dad made, that the world as she knows it starts to unravel. During her kidnapping ordeal she meets Gideon, who she initially mistakes for one of the kidnappers it is not until he reveals his identity that she relaxes. Diana reveals her naivety by believing he will be able to save them even though there is no logical means of escape. Will she be able to survive this ordeal and relinquish her role as the privileged daughter?Salvation is a romantic story about a young woman who has known a life of privilege and has been forced into a situation where she will have to rely on her inner strength and the support of those around her in order to survive. Adam’s use of the narrative in allowing Diana to tell the story from her point of view makes it very compelling. From this vantage point, it felt as if we were sitting listening to her tell the story. As the novel progressed, I found myself feeling sympathy for Dana and hoping for a successful ending.  Gideon’s character was hard to decipher at first, which added to the story. I enjoyed this book because it was more than the typical romance novel where you knew the ending before you got halfway through the book. Reading this book will leave you wanting to know more about Diana and Gideon’s story. I would definitely recommend this book to others.This book was provided by the author for review purposes only.Charlotte ChinnA&RBC; Reviews5 stars=Non-Stop Page Turner
