Innocent Captive

by Alexa Riley

When a mafia king brings home an innocent captive, what could possibly go wrong? Find out exactly how far he's prepared to go to get his happily ever after.
Jema wakes up with no memory of where she is and worse, who she is. Everything seems perfect, including the man that claims to be her husband. The doctors tell her she has a little bump on the head and that she'll remember everything soon. The only problem is she knows there are secrets being kept from her, and she's determined to find out what they are.

Salvador Roven could never be mistaken for a good man. Kidnapping is probably low on the list of the bad things he's done, but one look at Jema and he knows he can't let her go. He's playing a dangerous game, but all he has to do is make her fall in love with him before she gets her memories back. He'll have to add a few more dark deeds to his list of sins, but Jema is worth risking it all.

When a mafia king brings home an innocent captive, what could possibly go wrong? Find out exactly how far he's prepared to go to get his happily ever after.

This was a quick and dirty read! It kept my attention, but I wouldn't call it good. This is one of those times where the amnesia trope worked for me. The heroine loses her memory due to the morally gray MMC, which then enables him to do what he wanted to all along. He wanted to tie her to him. He goes to some wild lengths and concludes that tying her to him entails him lying to her, getting her to sign a marriage license with him (unbeknownst to her), and getting her pregnant. The wildest thing that happens? She finds all this out by the end, and she's completely ok with it! He's pretty, has money (regardless of where it comes from), and he treats her like a princess. She has no issues with how the relationship started. It was wild to see, but also entertaining? I'm so used to FMC's not wanting to spend their husband's money that when she was completely ok with everything, it was shocking. In a good way? IDK, I think I'm still digesting parts of this book.

Me hubiera gustado un poquito más de trama pero bueno. Lo que no me quedó claro fue si él la conocía de antes o qué.

Noooo que decepción :(
Empezó fuerte y sólido. La historia daba para mucho, pero a la mitad d del libro abandono la tensión que construyó.

Se la pasa diciendo o sugiriendo qué pasará si Jema descubre la verdad...NO PASA NADA!!

Ella lo perdona en un pestañeo. Ni reclamar, ni huir, ni llorar...nada.
Las escenas spicy son bastante básicas, sin tanta tensión y con falta de descripción (al menos al estilo de Alexa).

En fin. Daba para mucho pero le dio miedo el éxito. Una tristeza porque amo a los hombres e historias de esta autora. De verdad. Creo que es el primer libro "malo" para mi de Alexa Riley. Solo apresurado.

No lo recomiendo y no lo volvería a leer 😭❤️‍🩹

3.5 Stars
This was a typical AR story, short and right into it. It was entertaining and kind of more than I expected, but also not really anything special if you've read AR before. It was a comfort read, and did it's job.

Aburrido.
Se siente que no pasa nada en la historia, no hay tensión y lo único que podría salvarlo (las escenas spicy) también están terribles

La verdad la historia para ser un libro de alexa empezó bien, pero despues perdio todo el sentido y se volvio repetitivo en cuanto a si la chica descubria la verdad.

Despues las escenas mafiosas, de dominio, sexuales y de tensión fueron super malas y basicas.

A medida que leia la historia iba en declive.

En los libros de esta autora por lo general se siente una buena coherencia sea en la mini trama o en el spicy, pero aqui se pierde en todo.

No se, no me parece la mejor historia de esta autora ni la que tiene mejor "trama" o "romance erotico".

Jema hits her head, looses her memory and wakes up as the wife of a crime syndicate's boss. Salvador spuns a web of lies to keep her happy and make her fall in love with him. Morally corrupt but absolutely obsessed with her. It was love at first sight for him. And he will do anything to keep her. 🥀

Typical Alexa Riley over-the-top romance. Simple, straight-forward plot lacking depth, but it’s a quick read that’s both light and dramatic.

feels incomplete..
it had so much potential but the tension was solved in a blink and the end was rushed..
