I love a story that starts with a BANG! Kristin Dearborn has done exactly that with Stolen Away. Right from the start I was pulled into a parent’s worst nightmare, your infant child stolen right out of your own home. This sends Trisha into momma bear mode; is there a monster or demon more dangerous than a momma bear?!
Kristin Dearborn has created some fabulous characters. As foreign as Trisha and Joel’s lives were to me as she developed their drug and alcohol riddled histories, I connected to them on a basic level – the need to get my baby back. Trisha and Joel were not perfect people, they were good people living with and moving beyond the mistakes of their past. I love a troubled hero or heroine, it makes their accomplishments all that more impressive. In addition to her intricate protagonists, Kristin Dearborn did not neglect the supporting cast. Every character had a history that helped to personalize them.
Stolen Away had a perfectly paced plot. Kristin Dearborn slowed things down to develop the characters and the story, but when the action began, the story flew at a rocket’s pace. Stolen Away had the feeling of a seasoned author who has been producing best sellers for years.
This was my introduction to Kristin Dearborn’s work, but it definitely won’t be my last.
