"He didn't look at me with crude fascination like the reporter had.  No, he almost seemed to look right through me as if I was a window and what he wanted was to be outside enjoying the sunshine."This book was a whole lot more than what I expected.  I loved Break Free and I couldn't wait for the 2nd book.  This is a standalone and has nothing to do with the first story.  This is about a kidnapping of a young girl who was held captive from not a stranger but a family friend, so they thought at the time.  Aspen Fairchild was kidnapped when she was 7 but wasn't able to break free till 5 years later.The story takes place 15 years after her kidnapping in a small town called Red Blossom.  She has an interview for a magazine called "National View" of her true story but also meets a professional photographer Carter Johnston.  Aspen feels very uncomfortable about telling her story to Neil so Carter is able to take over to do the full story with him instead.This story took me to places unexpectedly.  It is full of suspense, emotional twists, and the awakening of a beautiful breathtaking break through."The scared little girl that fought to come out all the time was tucked away tight.  With Carter's eyes on mine, I truly felt like a woman."
