Kidnapped: A Criminal Deeds Novel

Rate this book
Relationships shouldn’t be based on lies.
But can they be based on intentional omissions and unintentional crime?

Ali Jarron has too much at stake to be attracted to her neighbor. Her life on the run doesn't allow that kind of thing. She sticks to the basics, which have served her well. But then she tries to do her neighbor a favor and regrets it the minute she wakes up bound to a chair in his basement.

Keaton Knox just moved into a new place, and he has a lot to protect. No one is allowed in his backyard. He keeps an unimaginable secret back there. So, when someone is messing around with his gate, he does the one thing he needs to in order to protect himself: knocks them out cold. What happens next take him by surprise.

Something sinister connects them in a way they never see coming—until it's right outside their door.

Book where 'coincidence ' of a situation is quite... Out of this world... For a person that was always on the run it was pretty convenient of her to move in just next door to a person that would be the end of her. This is why 3 stars. Even got scenes couldn't have saved it.

And what about the moment she was found? That was the quickest plot release I have ever read, let me tell you that.

Nice pregnancy touch at the end though.

I just realized I haven't even said if I liked it or not... So... This was kind of a story that you just pick up because the cover was interesting. You read the story and move on. 3 days later you don't even remember the characters names, 3 more days and you completely forgot what it was about, and then a month passes and you grab another book of this author cause it was in your recommendation section on Amazon.

I feel scammed. I thought it is a dark or such. What a mess.
The story didn't hold my interest because they're jump straight into the sex.
I hate their sex. Sappy and porn-y.
I hate monologue. Even the sex has too much monologue and only talk when they're about to come or increasing pace: "FASTER", "HARDER", and "I'm coming!". Ew :(

I really enjoyed reading this book, the characters were well crafted and the storyline flowed smoothly. Ali was witness to her mother's murder four years ago and has been hiding from the killer ever since. She dreams of being kidnapped for sex and when she is knocked unconscious by her new neighbor Keaton, she believes it is a fantasy orchestrated by her girlfriend. There is drama and danger ahead for both of them as the killer catches up with his prey.

Ali tells her best friend of her fantasy of being kidnapped. So when she is kidnapped after being by her neighbor Keaton's back fence she thinks Jane set it up. Keaton and Ali are both on the run hiding from a tragic past and her father. There are some dark parts to the story but it is a great romance about overcoming the past and finding love and home where you least expect it. I look forward to the next book in the series.

In this story be careful what you wish for because fate may step in is a good rule to keep in mind. In her fantasy, Ali thinks about being kidnapped in real life Ali has trust issues. Then there is Keaton who believe it or not wants to live under the radar I wonder why? Expect heat in this one and a whole lot of secrets! This was a bit of a thriller and truly mind-blowing story written in two parts and as you read you will understand. This book was a bit different and rather good check it out if you are brave enough. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Absolutely loved this story!

This is what some might call a sexual fantasy gone wrong. Me, I call it a blessing in disguise for Ali and Keaton. They both have pasts they don't want to talk about and when a total misunderstanding happens things get out of control. Who knew perfect strangers could have such intertwined pasts. This is an excellent read and has wonderful down to earth characters, who actually have real life issues and feelings. They aren't perfect, but maybe they can get their HEA.

Intense interesting twists and turns you don't see coming. This is the first book I have read by Kyle. I was gripped from the beginning. Trying to figure out what secrets Ali and Keaton are hiding. Never believed it would turn out the way it does. Didn't see those secrets from a mile away. Loved the storyline. My favorite parts of the book was when Keaton wrote to Ali. This was an intense enjoyable book. Highly recommend reading this one.

I loved this book. The story is compelling, the attraction between Keaton and Ali is hot and the writing is excellent. I have to admit that there was one point in the story where I teared up. I couldn't put the book down and hubby found out quickly to stay away until I finished. There are few books that I read and immediately know that I'll read it again, but this one makes the list.

I enjoyed reading this book, it’s well written with an easy flowing plot. Two people end up being neighbors and more. They both have a lot of baggage to sort out and to learn to trust each other. The main characters are really likable, and I really felt for them as they worked through their pain, misunderstandings and the drama to finally reach a HEA.

Loved it!

Ali and Keaton are two strangers searching for happiness while trying to run away from their past. They find comfort in each other, but a woman from their past threatens to derail their happiness. Ali is forced to focus on providing for her future without Keaton, but he refuses to give up. Excellent story line with plenty of hot sexy moments. The kidnap fantasy was hot!

Ok so I don't mind captive books but these to supposedly have been through bad things, I don't know what they are because I didn't continue the book.

The blurb sounded great, however you get to reading and right away these two people that have secrets jump into having oral sex after he hits her over the head and ties her to a car. Seriously?

The author took this book into a different direction from where I thought it might go. The beginning was very entertaining. It wasn't your typical storyline based on the title and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Started off slow and eventually the plot began to take shape. Their lives were entwined in ways they didn't know. Keaton and Ali were both on the run not knowing they were trying to stay away from the same people. Easy reading.

This is the first story I’ve read by Kyle Autumn and I have to say Kidnapped was a great way to start off with Kyle being a new to me author. Fate had a way of bringing together 2 broken people together through a series of ups and downs. Great storyline filled with secrets, romance, and steamy scenes.
