Ah, her horoscope in the newspaper came true ... Beware of the Stranger. Pretty girl is kidnapped by hunky guy. They fall in love ... but nothing can ever come out of it ... or could it? Good, fast read.
Fairly ludicrous plot, but still an engaging, if dated, romance. Completely unbelievable that they wouldn't tell her what was going on once she started trying to escape.
Familiar formula of quasi-Stockholm syndrome... But Dailey made me pretty emotionally invested (maybe I'm just feeling angsty).
This is one of my two FAVORITE of the State books of Janet Dailey!!
