Chosen, is one of those books that is hard to put down. Once you've read it, you'll think about it for several days. That makes a book great for me.Kate, is a young woman who chooses to live a quiet life in a secure neighborhood. One day, a flower deliveryman shatters that world, abducting her and taking her on a painful violent journey. But this is not a simple kidnapping/adduction story. Kate has a past with her abductor.Ms. Elsborg does an excellent job holding the reader on the edge of their seat throughout the book layering in details of what this past is. Just when I thought I'd figure out what was going on, a new detail would be introduced that'd twist the stories potential outcome. Even when I thought all might work out, Ms. Elsborg will put Kate in another situation you'll question if she'll survive it.The excellent plotting of this novel, and the character development throughout is masterfully done. Although Kate by appearances should be a character who'd cave in at the beginning of the book, has a resolve to survive I question if I'd be as strong. Her journey through this book is not an easy one, but I cheered her on knowing, somehow, even though it seemed impossible for her to do so, she'd survive.I wish Ms. Elsborg would write more thrillers, and less romance as I'd be her biggest fan.
