Captive #1-3
The Captive Series
BOOK ONE: Luciano's Willing Captive is NOT SAFE. Includes sexual violence against our heroine.
The Captive Series
The three original stories of insta-love with captor and captive. One captor found his captive tied up, one snatched her from her family, and the other carried her out of her bed:
Luciano’s Willing Captive is a dark tale of sex, romance, violence, and abuse. This is a HEA story, but with a gritty center, that's gut-wrenching.
~Luciano Rossi is the head of his outfit. Amber McLaren is a fresh-faced high school graduate. Luciano wants to possess her forever but others plot to separate them. Will they be able to be one or will the horrible events come to take away them forever?
The Russian’s Captive leaves our hero claiming the spoils of war. He believes the sister/daughter of his enemies belongs to him. Nothing will stop him from making her his own.
~Nikolai Rykov spent a year in America under the alias Vladimir Zarachenko; where he headed his criminal organization. Then he was betrayed and sent to prison in Russia. After the charges were dropped, he was out for revenge. All evidence pointed to the one family, he actually aided.
They were in his debt, and this is how they repaid him. He would get his revenge one way or another, and the young beautiful daughter Bianca was looking like their only bargaining chip.
Nikolai is rough, unapologetic, and instantly in love with the enemy's own.
Bianca had a secret crush. She kept her feelings about him to herself. That is until she'd been caught by her mother. Forcing her to move on, her mother accidentally pushes her and her family into the arms of trouble.
What happens when her crush becomes her captor?
Sergei’s Stubborn Captive finds our hero frustrated with a woman who was so stubborn, she didn’t know how to quit. She had to learn, though.
~Claudio Santini had been wreaking havoc on all those who crossed his path. When he disappeared no one asked questions. That was until a rookie detective named Lana Grey waltzed into town looking into his whereabouts.
Starting with his rivals, the Rossi and Rykov Families, she was certain they had something to do with his absence. Her superiors forced her to back off, but she only changed her tactics. Lana went after Nikolai Rykov’s right-hand man, Sergei Antonov.
Sergei was immediately intrigued by the beautiful pain in the ass. The biggest issue he had with Miss Grey was her persistence in the search for Santini. After one too many encounters with the nosy woman, he took matters into his own hands. She became Sergei’s stubborn captive.
Bonus stories:
Love, sex and absolute devotion. All three heroes are captivated with their brides, even when the bloom should have left the rose. Years and kids do nothing to diminish their captivation.

This rating is for the three steamy hot bonus stories, that come extra in this bundle, since I had already read the original books. So glad to get this extra insight into their future, and those epilogues are fantastic!

This had some nice bonus stories added to it. We get to see the couples of the captive series again, and learn that their marital bliss is coming to an end! Every couple has issues and its nice to see that these alphas get it wrong now and then too. Perfection just doesn't exist even with with book boyfriends I guess! Really cute seeing all of the kids as well.
Nice read but I found myself skimming some parts as well. If you've read these books I would recommend reading it for the bonus stories :)

Basically the bundle included the three books of captivity series and their epilogues(a complete book with them). What I learned was the couples still easily had misunderstandings and needed to deepen their love.
Overall a good bunch of books.
3.5/5

Interesting storyline
But be aware that there is a rape scene with the main female character in the first book of the series. Had I known, I wouldn’t have read it, much less bought it. It’s a personal preference, but reading about someone being raped, especially the heroine while the hero is tied up and forced to watch isn’t something I want to read about. Gratuitous violence, some rough but consensual sex, and even a detailed description of murder is one thing but rape just kills any enjoyment of the story for me. I could barely finish the book. After that scene I leafed through a bunch of pages, hoping and waiting for the author to say it was just a bad dream being had by one of the characters, but nope the author really went there. The setup of the scene was enough to give me the heebie jeebie nightmares. I really want to scrub my mind of having read it. It was a shock because none of the many other books I read by her have that element in them.
The other stories included in this volume were good. She didn’t go that far in them, but the rape was brought up and discussed in those books as well.

I love mafia stories and this series did not disappoint. I normally have a problem with this 'insta love' thing but this author makes it believable. There is angst, intrigue, incredible love scenes that will keep you interested until the end. Really enjoyed this series.

3 books in one. This series made me think a lot of books by Jordan Silver. The same intense alpha type men and the same mouthy women who gave them a hard time.

I love this series and love it when books link together with characters. First off I will tell you I read each of the stories independently but bout the "collection" for the bonus reads. It was well worth it. Stories are hot and detailed. Love a good kid napping when the hero knows what's best. Although each book has the same "captive" story, each one is different that draws you into each story. Good. Hot read when you need some alpha males to take over your life for a few hours.
