His Mountain Hostage

by Jane Henry

Leila

I work for myself,

I follow my own rules,

And I do both well.

Until the day Ransom comes for me.

A dark alley.

A stranger in the night.

I wake up in a cabin in the mountains.

Tied to his bed.

He demands payback.

Submission.

Obedience.

But nothing is as it seems,

and I’m hiding a secret.

Now I’m bound to him…

His captive.

His plaything…

His mountain hostage.

"I don't make love... I fuck" heheehe

I listened to this on readmeromance and I enjoyed it i did love Leila she had a good secert and she was a badass with what she did.. even if it got her in the crossfire of Ransom and his brothers. Now locked away in a cabin with them she just hopes they don't check her laptop. 

What made me sad i wish this was 2 narration.. the girl was okay just wish there was another also hated the Eeeee!!

I didn't listen to the podcast of this story but Ms. Henry released it as a short novella. While I liked it, I wish it would have been a lot longer. The characters needed a bit more development. Maybe that will happen one day but I was over all happy with this very short and very quick read!!

3/5 stars

This was going on the lower side of three stars. I wasn't really the biggest fan of this but it was alright.

I love this freaking book !! Omg 😅✌🏽woah look at her getting that spank down !! Yummy

[Mandie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yes this book was so good! It was short and sweet just the way I like my books sometimes. Jane Henry always knows how to bring the naughty and dirty. This is why I love her books so much.

[DeeReads · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the prequel to Mac and Leila's intriging story. BTW, Great start!

[Wickedly Sweet & Synful Book Blog Janet Lysk-Wolf · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG!! Ms. Henry has never written anything I don't like. Short, naughty, and dirty with a kidnapping. She does it again. I absolutely loved this book.

[Katie Pedersen · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was really excited to read another Jane Henry book. I read Island Captive earlier this year and loved it. Unfortunately, I think I prefer her longer full-length novels because this one kind of missed the mark for me. It was over the top insta-love and I had higher hopes for it. And this was probably one of my lest favorite narrators. I wish they had incorporated a guy for the male parts. It was good for a RMR Podcast novella, but I wanted a lot more story. I'm quite a harsh critic of novellas I guess - I feel like it must be really difficult to write such a short story but have the effectiveness of a full length novel. I feel like this one had more potential but was entertaining none the less.

Warning-Dubious consent
3.5 stars
I really liked this story and thought it had so much potential, but I want more. You only get one taste without knowing the entire back story. The glimpse we get of Leila's back story gives us enough information to know that she is a badass, but we don't know why or how she actually got to where she is. I love her and her attitude.
The glimpse we get of Random (cliche of a name), his family, and the "business" is too brief to get a good hold on what it is they actually do. When they attitudes collide the explosion is epic, but I need more!

I listened to this audiobook on the Read Me Romance podcast. I was excited to see Jane Henry as an author on the podcast. I really like her work His Mountain Hostage is everything I’ve come to expect with Jane Henry - a sexy story with some BDSM elements and a HEA. I love that this turned into a game of wits and seduction.

[Deborah · Rating 4 out of 5]

** Mature audiences only. May not be suitable for some readers. ** A short but powerful book.

Leila wakes up tied to a bed, in a cabin in the mountains. They think my father is behind their demise, but they have no idea who their messing with.

Ransom's instructions were clear: "take daddy’s little girl to make him pay for what he’s done." But things are not what they appear to be.

[Moonie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I listened to this audiobook on the Read Me Romance Podcast. This didn't have a unique plot but it was enjoyable to read. The characters did need to be developed a bit more but I did like how there wasn't instalove to make it even a bit more realistic even though this whole story wasn't realistic but come one, this whole thing is fiction so it's okay.

[Emma · Rating 5 out of 5]

A quirky little "dubious consent" story, with two characters that violate one of my cardinal rules: being two-dimensional. Leila and Ransom are not well drawn but they are in a story that pops.with eroticism.

The HEA is telegraphed so there is no suspense but every chapter has an edgy sex scene, loose dialog, and rapid plot movement.

[Katherine · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn’t get all the twists here, but I got the gist, and if you can get past the whole “I drugged and kidnapped you and I want to fuck you” thing, it’s a good story. I did my usual suspension of disbelief, and I was entertained.

Read Me Romance podcast. I think this was short and part of a series so I wish there were more. I'm intrigued by the premise, which is the point since they probably want you to check out more books, right?

[Kathy Bolar · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was hot....a little cheesy, but very HOT. Think about the story line you would read from A Mountain Hostage, and that’s about what you get. Man kidnaps girl, ties her to bed, they have sex, she falls in love...

[Am Goff · Rating 5 out of 5]

Leila is a hacker who messed with the wrong guy. So when Ransom nabbed her and kept her at his mountain home sparks fly. This was a great fast read of drama and heat that had me turning the page till I was done. I am voluntarily leaving my review of this ARC.

[Anne Young-Cronister · Rating 5 out of 5]

Try his was a wonderful surprise story from Jane Henry. It tells of a Mountain Man named Ransom who BTW, kidnapped a gal named Leila. This is a fun, unpredictable, Dominating man and Leia learns very fast! The HEA is really great. I loved reading this book!

[Martha Lindblom · Rating 5 out of 5]

This as a story novella. It was very entertaining and hot and sexy. Leila was captured because the brothers thought her father was stealing from them, but she has a secret. Now you will have to read this book to see what the secret was. Enjoy

Okkkk, not what I was expecting and I love that I was taken off guard. Great twist, palpable chemistry and the not-what-I’d-anticipated story had me intrigued and entertained.
