3.5 starsIt should have been the beginning of her happily ever after...but instead, it is the beginning of a nightmare.  The night after her wedding, Naomi is abducted and wakes to find herself in place she doesn't know with a masked man who sounds familiar that she can't place.  Bound and terrified,Naomi remembers her time meeting and falling in love with her husband while at the same time trying to figure out where she is and why she is there.So when I read the synopsis for this book, I was really excited.  I love a good romantic suspense book and this one seemed like a great one.  Then I started reading, and I was hopelessly lost.  I had no idea what was going on, who was who or what to expect next.  The story jumps from the past to present and there are a lot of characters to keep straight.There were parts of this book that I really liked, the suspense keeps you guessing the entire time.  Like I said, I had no idea what was going on or what to expect next.  Just when I thought maybe I had it figured out, something else would happen.And the parts I didn't like...it dragged for me in the beginning and took quite a while to get into.  Even once I was into it and figured out who was who, if I am honest I started skimming the "past" sections since I didn't like those characters anymore.My thoughts:Character development: 3.5Level of Romance between characters:  2.5 (not a lot of romance in this one)Passion/Heat level: 2.5(a couple of very PG kissing scenes and that is it)Angst/Heartbreak: 2.5(can't say much as I don't want to give anything away.)Cliffhanger?: Not a cliffhanger but definitely left open for another book.Overall, this was was just ok for me.  I loved the suspense of it, it isn't often that I don't figure out who people are before I read it and have a "wtf" moment....but there wasn't really any romance.  If you are looking for a good suspense that will keep you guessing, this is a good read.  Just give it time to build, it is slow to start.I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
