Publisher's summary

Nothing lasts forever...except the Bellanti’s hatred for the Bruno family.

My family prepared me to fight.

My best friend taught me loyalty.

My husband showed me who I am.

And now I’m caught between them all.

The thing about secrets is that they always come out.

The past is never gone.

No one expected it to explode.

I finally understand why my life led me here.

I was the only one who could uncover the truth.

And I’m damn sure I’m the only one who can prevent a war.

Men have pushed me around my whole life.

But I was built for this.... I am Mrs. Armani Bellanti.

Explosive Finale!

Stella Gray finished things off hot and strong! The twists knocked me off my feet! I mean she brought it with Captive Heart! I would’ve like to see a little more of Armani and Candi’s relationship after everything settled but overall I loved the way everything tied together in the end.

Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Rose absolutely did their thing with fiery performance fitting for a mafia romance!

Wonderful conclusion!!!

The conclusion to this family saga was PHENOMENAL!!! I am so in love with Candi and Armani! They were beyond fantastic. I love thier back and forth.... how Candi grew into her own strength, how Armani softened up a whole lot! This trilogy just hit the spot. Stella Gray has turned me into a fangirl! I am so excited to look into her other works (especially the rest of the Bellanti brothers!)

And the narration was so on point! I was pulled into this story so far that I didnt even want to try to find my way out! I was so sad to see thier story come to an end, but I am really excited to see if there is more to come from this wold!

WoW

I will have to say this whole series with all 3 brothers is one of my favorite. They had it ALL with just the right amount suspense, story line and romance. Great job by the author and the narrator’s

What a conclusion!

This is final book in Armani Bellanti’s trilogy. It went by quicker than I anticipated but nonetheless consuming. The performers slayed and gave us a finale that deserves praise. The couples sent me on a ride was full of twists and turns. The push and pull, the tension, the angst… this isn’t a story that delivers an instant hea. The author puts us through a whirlwind of emotions before we get to that point. Overall, the narrating was superb and I think the narrators were perfect for Armani and Candi’s journey. Bravo.

Excellent series

I’m a big fan of Stella Gray books and this book did not disappoint. Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Rose both did an excellent job as narrators. The plot kept me engaged with the storyline and all of the unanswered questions in the two previous books were all answered. Well worth listening to. I can’t wait for more books to come out.

What a conclusion to this series

I mean wow, I was truly on edge through this book. I am amazed at how all the pieces came together and the final conclusion was a bit shocking to me. I was so invested in this couple of Candi and Armani so seeing it through to the end was beautiful to listen to it all unfold. There were so many details finally coming out of the woodwork built into this series. What a beautiful conclusion.
Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Rose did an amazing job bringing these characters through their story. I would listen to more of their work.

Strong women and strong men!

I loved all three books!
Thank you for sharing your talent! Can’t wait for more of your books on Audible. I’ll be looking forward to reading them!

Finding real love!

Captive Heart by Stella Gray is book 3 of the Captive Bride trilogy series. I wish I would have been prompted to have read Dante and Marco’s trilogies prior to reading/listening to Armani and Kandi’s trilogy. I would have enjoyed the series a bit more. It took me until chapter 4 to figure out this was a mafia series. The characters needed a bit more back story development. Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Rose narrate all 3 stories in the trilogy. I had a very difficult time listening to Stephanie Rose as Kandi. Her voice was almost robotic with forced emotion not a natural sound/rhythm. Aaron Shedlock was better but he seemed like he was forcing the sternness because Armani is a mafia boss. I wanted to know the end of the story so I continued and finished the trilogy. I did like learning that Armani does grow as a man who learns to truly love his wife and future child.

The perfect ending!

This narration had me tearing up more than once! Shedlock and Rose did an amazing job with their performances and it all paid off so perfectly.

And my favorite part of the book when reading it came to life so perfectly! The I Love You at the end was just as powerful if not more through the audiobook.

Good conclusion to the series

Lots to unpack here! This book was quite action packed and had edge of your seat moments. Definitely held some twists I didn't see coming. Armani and Candi still don't have great communication, but they were learning to work together. The danger around them seemed to grow and they needed to stop the war waging around them. This family learned to lean on each other. I thought this book was a good conclusion to the series. I enjoyed how the narrators brought Candi and Armani to life. They captured my attention and I hated when I had to stop listening because, life.
