Salvation is the second book that I have read by Noelle Adams. The first one by her that I read put her on my list of authors to look out for. Salvation put her on my must read, fave authors list. She is immensely talented. There is nothing wrong with a book with a lot if chapters, but Noelle Adams seems to have a knack of condensing a solid story in a lot less time. She gives just the right amount of details, builds solid characters, and gives life to great stories that flow well.This book had me terrified. Diana, gets kidnapped because of some deal her father made with an Albanian gang. She is thrown into a holding room where she is to remain unharmed until they receive their ransom. However, she isn't alone in this room. Gideon Parker, undercover FBI agent is also there. He's waiting to get killed since they discovered who he really is. He tries to defend her, but she gets raped anyways.This is her story of healing and of falling in love. The incident destroys her; Gideon is there to support her. It is a long, hard road of recovery for her. The author writes so well, that I felt included in her journey. Gideon is unwavering in has devotion to her. His love was so palpable I could feel it.I felt every single emotion of the book. I cried, I laughed, I cheered for Diana. I fell in love with Gideon. In just 12 chapters I became so attached to these characters that I don't want to let them go. I'm not ready to move on. I almost want another book for Diana and Gideon. Almost. The ending to this book is...wonderful. After the emotional rollercoaster the author put me through, I ended the book with an achy, healed heart full if hope and happiness. This is a definite MUST read and one of the best of 2014 for me!
