This book drove me crazy. The story hops around back and forth in time, new characters appear out of nowhere and it is a chore to place them only to find out they are actually and also someone else from another time and chapter but even the characters don't seem to recognize each other until it is convenient for the authors. There were little annoyances too, like the initial kidnapping where Kate is held by what we are told is an Irish terrorist and they are confronted by a police officer she doesn't yell for help because this terrorist has told her that there is a bomb in the building where her fiance has disappeared and she could cost him his life. The terrorist is not really a terrorist and he is lying about the bomb but she doesn't find this out until much later. Still this fear does not stop her from attacking her captor after the cop goes away every chance she gets and all concern for the safety of her fiance seems to evaporate. Only the authors know what is really going on.She also has a cellphone all the time except when it's inconvenient to the authors who need to arrange a meeting so pride keeps her from going back to her father's office when she needs to call a cab so she goes into a bar where she also can't call a cab and is followed in by Michael who isn't really Michael but we find that out later and she really should have known and apparently only he can call her a cab.I had a headache by the time I was through sorting all this nonsense. On a date with Michael at a busy ice skating rink everybody seems to know about but her it turns out she's a really good skater. Sitting in the crowd waiting for a show to begin he tells her about a previous love with a married woman who aborted his child, but not who he really is. Turns out she doesn't even know who her father really is. I get it, I get it, it's all a facade...more fun to write than it is to read. A reader needs some consistency to make a story worth following. I did read the full story just so I could write a review based on the entire painful experience.
