"She rolls her eyes and then stomps into the room, leaving me to follow after her. I do, of course. Where the fuck else would I want to be?"
This series! This author! I love it all! We finally swing back around to the story of Elliot and Sophie. I thought I would get a little bored seeing their side of the same story as Dane and Sienna but I was wrong. It's fast paced and interesting. There a few pieces that overlap but Ms. Rose really keeps you concentrated on this couple. I love being inside Trick's head. A possessive alpha male is my absolute favorite. If you love them too, I cannot recommend this entire series highly enough.
This one was fast pace and pretty steamy. We met these two in the last bride book. Now it's there turn.
Sophie is being a good friend making sure her friend is having fun and not worrying about her broken heart as they party and have fun in Vegas before their tattoo appointment. And the party is ruined by Elliot aka Trick and Dane when he finally grew some balls to get his woman. As for Elliot he's already head over heels in love with Sophie, making sure she's safe and sound with him and wanting more then one night in Vegas. As for Sophie she doesn't know if she can trust Elliot with her heart.. but she's proven time and time again that her new man just wants her.

Let me just say that I am NOT a fan of the Amazon version’s cover. That scowling bald dude is just... no. The muscles are nice, sure. But no. I much prefer the goodreads cover better. I mean look at this shit. He does NOT look happy.
Aaanyway...
Sophie is 21, Elliot (Trick) is 36, ex military, hasn’t been with a woman in years.
So we already know what happens with Sophie and Elliot from reading book #3: His Secret Bride. At least 75% or so of this book consists of the same events in Vegas that we read about but from Sophie and Elliot’s POV instead of Sienna and Dane’s. He chases her through Vegas casinos, the chapel scene where Sienna marries Dane, the tattoo shop incident, they have sex in a hotel room, they fly home on the jet.. it’s very similar.
The last 25% is new and cute, though. Sophie brings Elliot home to meet her dad and get his approval. Then the epilogue where they live happily ever after.
This was a cute read but I was slightly bored by it. Maybe it’s because I already read about them in book #3 or maybe the cover just turned me off? 😂 I dunno. I just didn’t like this as much as the others.
Plus... is Sophie really a BBW? She was described as having “thick thighs” once and mentioned her “stomach rolls and white lines on her sides” but that’s about it. We’ll go with it I guess...
His Captive Bride by Nichole Rose Rating: 5 STARS Usually, short romances are not well done and are boring quite frankly. But this did not disappoint. Trick and Sophie had amazing chemistry, the storyline had the right amount of depth even though it was a short romance novel. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I have found one of my new favourite authors and I can't wait to read the rest of the bride series and explore her other books as well. I would recommend this romance to anyone and everyone as it just puts a smile on your face and gives you the perfect dose of alpha male overprotectiveness you need for the day with its lightheartedness and guaranteed HEA

When Elliot finally convinces Sophie she is his forever Sophie tells Elliott he has to get her father‘s permission. When Elliot and Sophie go back home they immediately go to her house so Elliot can get permission to marry her. Elliott and Sophie have a wonderful, amazing HEA!
I liked this story a lot. It was very entertaining and was lots of fun. The characters were interesting and I enjoyed getting to see characters from "His Secret Bride". Both books are standalones but they are connected.
Elliot Tricine (Trick) meets his match in Sophie when he goes with his boss Dane to Vegas to retrieve Sienna, Sophie's best friend, and the woman that Dane's in love with. Elliot was all-in as soon as he saw Sophie. Unfortunately for Elliot, Sophie is in no condition to deal with his newly found feelings or anything else for that matter. Regardless of her condition, he decides that he is keeping her and will just have to get her to be on the same page as him as soon as she recovers. Sophie and Sienna have other plans for their Vegas trip and so the men have some chasing to do a time or two. I really enjoyed that Sophie made sure that Elliot knew exactly how important her dad was to her. I loved their happy ever after and I recommend reading this book!
Who doesn’t love a large, over the top, alpha who is obsessed with his woman and will throw her over his shoulder and drag her away like a grunting caveman? This is the stuff magic and dreams and romance is made of! I freakin loved this story! The hero is all over his girl, ready to claim her and love her. If only he can get the heroine to stay in one place and stop trying to run away. He knows that if he can get her to trust him, she will be the center of his world!
Wow! I was looking forward to this book and I can say I wasn't disappointed! Great plot with likeable characters, including a OTT Alpha H and red hot romance . Elliot gaze only had to land once on the redhead for his body to go ablaze. But went his eyes locked with hers....he was lost. Sophie had a crush on the hot bodyguard for months but thought she wouldn't have a chance. But went he rescued her from a drunken night what came next she did not see coming. Highly recommended
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
What can I say other than after reading the first book in the series I was hooked and I rushed to get every other book in the His Bride series. To say that Nichole Rose is dangerous to my wallet is to put it mildly but well worth the danger. So far everything I have read from her has been well worth the read. Fun characters, witty banter, sassy women, hunky men, laugh out loud moments so make sure you read them where you won’t attract attention to yourself when you burst out laughing and lots of hot, steamy sexy time. Sorry, no spoilers, but highly recommended.
one look from afar from both MCs and they hooked. A sweet short longing romance. I guess this one concluded the alpha-series from Ms Rose; and what a sweet nice steamy concluding story it was. It was basically a claiming story. One big burly big heart alpha swept the feet of family-oriented sweet h.
Virgin h, experienced H No contraception No drama/angst No OW/OM Safe read, HEA Overall score: 4 instalove stars
I just love Nichole Rose’s books! I’m never disappointed when reading one. His Captive Bride was another fantastic read! I’m impressed with that he way Mrs.Rose can grab your attention from the very first word and keep you entertained throughout the entire book. I’m a huge fan of sweet possessive alpha males and strong willed women and this books hits the mark for me. Looking forward to the next book she releases.
I love saucy women who run their loves in circles, not out of meanness or hatred, but out of innocent frustration. Sophie is just trying to support her friend, Sienna, who believes the man she loves just married another woman. But when that man comes for Sienna, his security officer follows, and one look, at gentle Sophie, is all it takes for him to fall, and a merry chase ensues.
Elliott "Trick" Tricine has wanted Sophie since he laid eyes on her at a Christmas party. When he's in Vegas with his boss, Dane, he finds Sophie and her best friend Sienna drunk and dancing on a bar top. He drags her to his room and decides he will be keeping her captive until she agrees to marry him. This is a fun, sexy read and I highly recommend it!
Sophie is in Vegas helping her friend. All of a sudden this big brute of a man grabs her and she's lost to his persuasive and bully tactics. She's been lusting after him for months and now Elliot is here for her and wanting her. She's stunned but the love she feels for and from him is amazing.
I don't know why I feel so amazed when I read Nichole Rose writing that her characters are so perfect for each other. After all, she creates them. But that's just the thing, I get so caught up I forget I'm reading and not living it. Can't wait for the next in the series.

Sophie is sassy, fierce, independent and refuses to give in to Trick aka Elliot. Elliot has his work cut out for him. She pushes back at every advance but all it does is turn Elliot on. Their story was full of hysterical banter, smoking chemistry and a sweet relationship between Sophie and her dad.
I can't quite tell if Elliott is the most alpha of the whole series! In any case, swoon and sign me up! Lol! I loved the storyline, the alphaness and the steam. Awesome read, as always!!
I love all Nichole Rose books so much I could cry with happiness. Sophie and Trick were love at first sight & it made me so happy to see them blossom and find an HEA with sophie’s dad in the family dynamic as well. Great insta romance with safety and a happily ever after!
Another wonderful and beautiful love story and i absolutly loved it! I love Elliot and Sophie soo much! Just sorry to see it end! Can't get enough of these beautiful love story!Can't wait for Grant story!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sophie is helping her friend get over having her heart broken. Elliot works for the heartbreaker. When the two of them come together, sparks fly. Sophie may be stubborn but Elliot has the patience to wait her out. Sweet, steamy and sexy.
Nicole really had a talent for getting you involved with the characters. I love this book. I laughed right out loud at parts of this book and there were some hot scenes to get your blood pumping.
This book was a good read except for the h calling her own father Daddy. I absolutely despise when an adult woman calls her dad Daddy. Ugh. It makes me gag.
It was instant attraction for Sophie and Elliott. Months later, Elliott us done waiting. He claims her in Vegas and keeps her. She fights him on every step but loves it at the same time. Sweet, hot, and endearing. A great read. A great HEA.
Another great read. Older man and younger woman. Insta love. The storyline was was sweet and entertaining, and I really like the characters.Elliot and Sophie were adorable together and had great chemistry. Overall, a enjoyable, lighthearted read.
It is love at first sight for Elliot aka Trick now he just had to convince feisty Sophie she is his. This is a funny, sweet and sexy read I could not put down.
This book was cute and sexy and Sophia was a true spitfire they didn’t take any crap. I liked that he was bossy but she didn’t just capitulate. Good story
I was so excited to get Elliot and Sophie’s story! I’ve met them in a couple other books at this point so I couldn’t wait to get their full story. It was so good! I love them for each other. Quick moving and very hot!
I loved reading this story. They both fell hard from across the room, but they didn’t meet up again until six months later. That’s where it went wild. He fell hard for her again. Loved her fire, sass and loyalty. I enjoyed how well they fit together. Loved their epilogue.
