Second Chances
A single woman accepts a drink from a handsome, charming man at a cocktail party—and terror replaces the tedium of her once ordinary life as the manager of a Smithsonian museum store in Washington, D.C. The drugged champagne is a one-way ticket across an international landscape to an isolated life controlled and scripted by her aloof, wealthy, enigmatic—but surprisingly benevolent—captor. Why her? SECOND CHANCES is Lindsay Talbot’s narrative story of a life of shocking truths, heart-breaking loss, and the potential for a future that comes at a price she may not be able to pay.

I love the depth that Ms. Boehm adds to her novels. The characters are well fleshed out and the storyline is not predictable. I find myself reading at every opportunity so that I can find out what is going to happen next. As a matter of fact I have “Beyond Second Chances” downloaded and ready to go as soon as I am done with this review. Enjoy!

A young woman, just going about her life as a young woman does, meets someone new and ends up being kidnapped. She doesn't know why and doesn't understand why she keep being moved from place to place. Will she find answers to all her questions?

This book kept me on the edge of my seat! I was captivated trying to figure out the mystery behind these men. I couldn't tell the entire time who was on the "good"side, and I couldn't put it down as I worked to discover the clues. I loved all of the twists. Just when I thought I had it figured out, it tricked me again and again! I definitely recommend this book!
