This book has a gripping adventure plot that swept me away with the action, as the kidnapper-to-ransom-payer Elin and kidnap-victim-to-hero Grace trekked around the country. The bit of romance felt kind of shoved in at the end (understandably, the meat of the story didn’t suit a romance). I didn’t quite get to the point of rooting for the protagonist couple romantically, but this book was fantastic regardless.
