A slight disappointment

Kidnapped Hearts by Morgan Elliot

My rating: 4 of 5 stars




The blurb tempted me instantly and the plot, over all, makes for a gripping read on both fronts, the romance and the suspense. I enjoyed this book pretty much until the end, with just one criticism, but that really tainted the experience for me.

Almost everything in this story could happen or have happened in reality. That is the kind of story I like most, so what was the problem?

Attention:SPOILER!!!!!

While the whole story could have done really well without this one flaw and would have made a GREAT book, the authors did something I, had I been the editor, would have urgently advised them to edit out. It makes absolutely no sense at all, to turn an otherwise plausible and credible human villain into, were this a comic, I’d say a Mad-Scientist super-villain during the show down.

(End of spoiler)

The romance is nice and all too credible, the tension at the end almost too much, but the end is more than just satisfying. In all it still was a good read, don’t get me wrong, but real life scenarios should stay at least close to reality, so a weak four starts where there could have been a solid five from me.
