Review: A Breakout Suspense Novel
Rating: 5 out of 5

Let me start by saying that this novel is unlike any other that Barbara Elsborg has published to date.  If you're a fan of her humorous and zany erotic romances, this is at the opposite end of the scale. With Chosen, Ms. Elsborg branches out into the Romantic Suspense genre and in pulling it off so masterfully she has shown the real depth of her talent and abilities as an author.Jack is a conniving, calculating, psychotic man who inflicts the heroine with his own twisted brand of psychological torture.  His unpredictable actions are chilling because they feel so real and reflect the dark thinking of a very disturbed individual. Kate is memorable as a victim who refuses to let Jack win, and her connection to Nathan is a glimmer of light in this beautifully executed tale.I don't want to spoil the story by laying out the plot, since the twists, shocks and surprises are for the reader to discover, but if you're a fan of gritty suspense with a touch of romance, you must read Chosen.
