From Book Cover:

Caitlyn Sullivan was already a Hollywood star at nine, but still liked to play hide-and-seek at the family home in Big Sur. It was during one of those games that she disappeared. Cate managed to escape her abductors, and Dillon Cooper found the bloodied, exhausted girl huddled in his ranch house. When the teenager and his family heard her story, they provided refuge, reuniting her with her loved ones. Cate's ordeal, though, was far from over. She would spend years sheltered in Ireland, restlessness growing in her soul, before returning to Los Angeles to restart her life. But two seeds had been planted that long-ago night -- one of great love, and one of a terrible vengeance.

My Review:

The kidnapping and Cate's bravery were well written. The trauma that would follow any victim of violent crime is acknowledged and not gleaned over. However, the years Cate and her father spent in Ireland only merited a sentence or two, though most of her healing would have occurred here and shaped the character she would be for the remainder of the book. I would also liked being privy to the correspondence Cate shared with Dillon's mother. These letters helped forge a bond we see when Cate returns to California. Yet, this too was only given a single sentence. Introducing new characters that end up having a pivotal role over the half-way mark in the book, seemed there to plug a plot hole.

In spite of these issues, the book was worth the read.
