Dee Henderson has been a favorite author of mine for a long time. I thoroughly enjoy most of her books and this book was no exception.
Taken is the story of Shannon Bliss, a young woman who had disappeared eleven years earlier. Shannon is trying to find her way back home, and she has tracked down Matthew Dane to help her. Matthew has the experience and resources needed to help Shannon get home. Throughout the story, characters from previous novels aid Shannon along the way as well.
This book was different from Ms. Henderson's recent books, and I liked that. Some authors seem to get stuck in a rut and the reader can pretty much anticipate what will happen next. Taken jumps right in and gradually builds on the suspense. There was not a lot of action, but it was not needed with all the information coming out about what had happened to Shannon.
The storyline did not have as much romance as I usually like, but it did not matter with this novel. The storyline was fantastic without it, and too much would have ruined the story. The book had just the right mixture of romance and suspense to make it a worthy read. If you enjoy suspense and like anything Ms. Henderson has written in the past, then this book is a must read for you.
*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are my own.*
