Once again
Audrey Brookstone is stood up on a date, but this time there’s a
last minute substitution in the form of a stranger, Milo Stanisbeck,
who happens to come along while she’s waiting at the theater, fills
the bill nicely as her date. Audrey learns he is a diplomat from
Cazbekistan and will be leaving the next day. He’s sexy, nice and
she hates the thought of never seeing the man who could be her
Prince Charming. Even as they linger over their night together, the
sparks fly, especially in the back seat of the limo. But suddenly,
her world goes black as Milo drugs her and whisks her off to his
country.
Milo is really
Prince Milo of Cazbekistan and he wants Audrey to be his courtesan
for as long as he desires her. Audrey, of course, doesn’t intend to
be anyone’s mistress. Milo is soon holding her against her will
while he attempts to woo her. She’s treated like royalty even though
her destiny is that of a Prince’s courtesan. The more she fights
him, the harder it gets to resist him.
The title
CAPTURED says it all. Audrey is abducted by Prince Milo quite easily
as the nice guy turns alpha and uncaring of her wishes. As a man who
is used to always getting his way, imagine his surprise when Audrey
is determined to deny him access to her bed, though he has already
sampled the wares in the back seat of his limo. Meanwhile, Audrey
enjoys all the pampering she wants at the palace, even as Milo
argues for his right to make her his mistress. She finally relents
to staying – for a price, though she’s determined bedding her isn’t
part of the deal. Will she be able to resist the charismatic Milo?
Milo is just
following centuries of family history by taking a courtesan. Audrey
is smart, attractive, and keeps him on his toes. So, why can’t he
marry her? And the more she resists him, the more he wants her. Who
will win the final battle?
Fast paced and
fairly predictable, I found CAPTURED to be overall a pleasant read.
There aren’t a lot of sex scenes, but this tale will certainly keep
you turning the pages as you wonder how long before Milo finally
realizes he’s in love with Audrey. Readers looking for a story
centering on royalty and the Cinderella who finds her Prince
Charming in the most unorthodox manner, grab yourself a copy of
CAPTURED today.
