I stole five years of his daughter's life from him... Being young and dumb enough to lay down with a Bratva soldier, I wound up pregnant and alone. Valentin Safaryan discovers his connnection to me. He uncovers my biggest kept secret; a secret I've never even shared with my best friend. Terrified that he'll end my life and take our daughter, I do the only thing I can think of. I strike a deal with him to become his captive. Valentin is determined to punish me for my evil deed. He will set the rules and determine the price. He, alone, will exact his revenge against my waiting flesh. Maybe while I'm waiting down there on my knees, I'll finally get his forgiveness.

Waaaaaaaay too many grammatical errors. Too bad because it could have been so good.

The story was just okay but the typos, incorrect word choices, and incomplete sentences really ruined it for me. There were even a couple times the wrong character name was used. Pretty disappointing.

Looking for the next Safaryan
Reading it again only makes it better! Love these hardcore Brat a men with the big ole hearts for Black Queens! Love that the Queens can turn on and off the ratchet and get shitzl popping if the need arise! Aunt Kit should been her momma! Oh, the plot and storyline is great and merging characters from book one throughout the who!e book was better! I hate when there is a series and the characters from before completely just fade out! Astrid and Nova are more like sisters and should interact till the end! Big Ups to Amaya....making my way to Depraved!!!

Green Eyed Monster
I think I had a mini heart attack right along Astrid at the dance recital. I liked the flow of the book. I would definitely kick it with Auntie Kit. Rhonda is several trips and she needs to fall somewhere because hands would have been passed to her a while ago! I hope Astrid has a little baby Astro, bc Val doesn't need another girl. Kinda sad, hoping it not the end. Would love to hear more about the twins!

Captive of Love
The story is part 2 of a series and one I waited patiently for weeks to read. I enjoyed the story of Valentin and Astrid. Astrid was a tough woman and held no punches,Valentin was an enforcer with a soft side. The club scene was my favorite part of the book. If you read this story prior to today I would suggest you download the updated version to get the full story, you won’t regret it.

Captive
This book is the second in this series following on from book one, we get the back story of val and Astrid. Hes harsh as hell on her for keeping him in the dark and she finds no other way than to give him what he wants, if she wants to keep her daughter. Viktor is still causing problems and trying to turn friends and family against each other. Great read.

Five years later…
I love second chances romance and happy endings. This was my first book by this author and I truly enjoyed it. We all know that sometimes revenge doesn’t go as planned and I’m happy it didn’t for them. This book was engaging and held my attention throughout. Now I’m off to read the first book in this series.

She kept a secret
For five years she kept her darkest secret to herself. Then...he came for both of them. Val and Astrid are a match made in a weird mafia setting. It checks all the boxes of a good mafia romance along with dark romance. Its a wicked read!

Not worth the read
Poor English. Unnecessary to drag the story out as it leads nowhere. I won't be buying the next instalment as this onw was disappointing, especially the sudden ending

Captive: Valentin And Astrid
A five year secret has been revealed and Valentin is not happy! He promised to punish her for her betrayal but it turns out it was the best thing that ever happened to them both, had fun reading this book.

Another Great Book
Number two turned out to be just as good as one. Val and Astrid had an almost forgotten past, but we're reunited at the end of book one. There was more drama with Viktor and his goons along with a little violence.

Somewhat predictable!
A familiar story line. Characters a bit gritty with some action. Story was okay, but predictable. I will read the next book in the series to see if it is less formulaic.

sexy Valentin
I like Valentin brooding self. He went through horror but love was able to break down those walls. Astrid and him were a good fit. I think Alpha males need alpha females that love hard but know when to submit.

girl was no joke
Loved the main characters attitude. She was loyal yet wasn’t no one’s doormat. The dark side of the story was a little meh to me but could be that I’m into some fucked up kinks.

I loved it
What can I say. I started out hopeful on how this would end. I love the fact that they both grew up and became mature together. Waiting on the next book

Good read
I enjoyed it. Loved Astrid and Nova's friendship. Valentin didn't stand a chance with little Alexandria. She had him wrapped around her fingers.

Good Read
Good Read with action and suspense. Would love a part three to this story in the future. Perhaps the half brother.

While this was an ok book,I did enjoy the first book (Broken) better. This picks up straight from the first book but just didn’t have the appeal as much, but still a good read.

Storyline
The story itself is a good one, but dear me the spelling was atrocious. I don't think this book was proof read at all hence the three stars only.

Good but missing a few things
The book was good but had a few typos. Also there was something with the Aunt and cousin that was not explored

Dark and sexy!
Who knew BDSM was a sign of falling in love? Well, I know now. Val met his match with Astrid.

Astrid
This is book 2 in the series and book 1 should be read first. I love Astrid’s story and back story! I can’t wait until book 3!
