Publisher's Summary

Can a simple human tame a Cheetah’s wild heart?  

When I arrive in the Cheetah Nation with my two lovers, my sister, and our enigmatic guard, nothing goes as planned. After being hospitalized for a human illness, I wake to find myself a prisoner to famous billionaire cheetah, Sir Kenosi. Any woman in the world would be overjoyed at the opportunity to slide between the insatiable entrepreneur’s sheets, but he’s not interested in Kitty Chasers. He wants me. 

You might think I’d be flattered, but the truth is more complicated. Sir Kenosi doesn’t just want to bed me. He wants to break me. To make me beg and grovel like he’s royalty and I’m a peasant. 

That’s not really my style. 

Or is it? After all, my pride is a small price to pay for an amulet that brings my sister closer to the throne and me closer to being reunited with my team. 

As I come to know the real Sir Kenosi, the one behind the rock-star grin and twisted bedroom games, something inside me learns to crave his touch and the humiliation it brings. But there's one thing I need more. The amulets. 

And though Sir Kenosi might have taught me submission, nothing can prepare me for what I learn next.

It is a good book.

It is a good book. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Racy material, aIot of sex with different people. I knew that going in so I understood it. The book definitely has merit and i understand and I get it now after listening to book 2. I did give it a five star because it was well written and well executed.

Enjoyed it...

I thought that this was more. interesting than book one, I enjoyed the character interaction with Itzel. And I'm starting to hate her sister, her self sacrifices is admirable and stubborn at the same time. I'm looking forward to book three.

XOXO Lottie.

love this series

I absolutely love this series. It's action packed and hot!!! Camilla is a spoiled brat who needs smacked upside the head a few times, and Itzel really needs to start doing things for herself and her country and not her spoiled brat of a sister.
I can't wait for the next one.
I love the narrators.... they do an amazing job with each of the characters

Book 2 - Feline Royals

Book 2 in James' Feline Royals series. Told in a multi pov and well written with a smooth flowing storyline - I was captivated and am eager for more in this series. The narration was very well done, smooth and easy to listen to and follow along.
The amulet tour continues for princesses Camila and Itzel we journey with them to the cheetah and lion nation in this read. Oh how I want Itzel to woman up and stop the abuse her sister dishes out on a regular basis. Just when you think she might - she's back to fledging her loyalty. Ugh. But honestly, I can't get enough. I want more, I'm hooked on this storyline and Princess Itzel and how many more nations need to be visited and what will those nations pose as challenges. The epilogue in this listen teases with a huge cliffhanger - so if you want to stop - stop before the epilogue 'casue there is no turning back from that! and your given fair warning too!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

It's raining men

Itzel's story continues and she first ends up in a hospital in the Cheetah nation. The rest of her entrouge has problems of their own, but she is kept a captive by the local hero. Sir Kenosi may hold the esteem of the other women in the Cheetah nation, but Itzel isn't liking him at all. He wants her to bow down to him and his sexual demands, but what does he need her for when he has his own harem? When she is finally freed, Itzel rushes to her sister's side, only to find herself rejected and insulted by the one person she has always counted on to have her back. It seems that no matter what Itzel does to protect Camilia and to obtain the amulets for her, she will never be anything but a pawn in her sister's royal chess game. Things only get worse when they travel to Lion country and Itzel finds herself taken off to the spirit world by the Lion prince. What she learns there will change her forever.

Fast paced steamy action

The tour to collect the shifter nation amulets continues in this book at the Cheetah and Lion nations. It is a fast-paced story that may have triggers for some readers. There is lots of drama, boundaries are pushed, consent is somewhat dubious in parts and the steaminess is off the charts. Itzel collect lovers as well as amulets, definitely puts up with too much from her sister and faces some unusual challenges in this book. The story definitely keeps your attention and I liked that there is a warning in the book about its content before things really heat up. The triple narrators did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life and their voices flowed well together. I’m looking forward to seeing what will happen in the next book and where the overall story is leading.

cheetah nation

so Itzel is "mistaken" as the princess that is seeking the amulet. Let's just say she is put through some disgraceful mind games. in the end wow what her sister does is just a total **** move, so yeah her sister shows how she really feels and sees Itzel .

Fantastic story!!!!

I thought that this was a fantastic read! I loved getting to see our characters interacting with each other more and meeting more mates for Itzel. Itzel is definitely in a hard position throughout most of this installment. She is separated from her group and her sister is treating her like crap. Itzel is determined though and keeps pushing through. This story does have darker elements and has some dubious consent throughout. I liked that there was a bit of a stopping point/alternate ending if this is pushing boundaries too much for the reader, they can stop right towards the end and be done as their was a warning that boundaries are about to be pushed even further and story to get darker. If you decide to continue you get another bit that starts you on the journey for the next amulet and a big cliffhanger. I can’t wait for the next installment.
I listened to the audiobook and it was sooo well done. Their are 3 narrators this time around and they do such a fantastic job with all the different voices and accents that are in the story. It really brought the story to life and I can’t wait to listen to the next book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Great Read

Captive Princess (Feline Royals #2) was a great read by Alexa B. James. Itzel has continued on Camila’s Amulet Tour with her two loyal lovers and a guard on her side. Their next stop is the Cheetah Nation, in this nation there is corruption and a billionaire entrepreneur, Sir Kenosi, is in control of the amulet. Itzel is determined to do whatever she needs to to get control of the amulet. Itzel must also be able to protect her sister while on the tour. Unfortunately Sir Kenosi won’t let her return to her group until she eats his demands. Before she can go to the Lion nation, Itzel must survive Sir Kenosi’s twisted games. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.

WOW... Umm.... Just WOW

Can I just say... WOW... I wasn't expecting that! Just when I thought Book 1 surprised me, in comes Book 2 with even more drama, taboo, and surprise. This book picks right up where Book 1 left off. If you as reader have triggers, this book may not be for you as there is some serious dub-con and non-con going on in this book as well. I give the author props about announcing the triggers in this book [as well as the previous book] because she does a thorough job of letting the readers know what to expect and to not read if it's too much for them.

As for the Book rating, I give this 4.5 stars, round down to 4 stars! This book keep my interest and was definitely a page turner. It was fast pace, an easy read with lots of drama and I was exited to see where this book was going. I mean I finished the book in less than a day so there's that! I was really intrigued by this world and how the author wrote a shifter book unlike any I have read before. So, why the .5/1 star deduction? The main character, Itzel, began to irritate me when dealing with her sister. I mean your sister is openly treating you like garbage and still you are putting your life, body, and happiness on the line for her. I understood it originally, but now it's getting old and played out. I just don't feel someone would allow another person to openly treat them like that for years on end and not wake up and say screw this and leave. But I must say that cliffhanger was just... WOW... I'm so intrigued on what happened that I have to know what's going to happen next. This cliffhanger was way better than the one from Book 1. HAHAHA! As I previously stated in Book 1 review, I will be finishing this series as I'm so curious as to where this story is going.

As to the narration, although this is a duel narration, the main narrator of this book is Bridget Bordeaux who, as always, does a fabulous job. I love listening to books read by her and have many of them. The male narrator, Jake Bordeaux, also does a fabulous job [I believe they are a couple and most books read with Bridget are also dually read with Jake]. Anyways, they did amazing and they deserve all 5 Stars I gave them [which is nothing unusually as they always get that ranking from me].

Such an interesting story!

I’m enjoying this world so very much. I enjoyed the second installment as much as the first. The narration was able yo really capture the characters and add an extra dimension to the story. Definitely worth listening to.

Great second book.

Itzel and her guys are still on the amulet tour for Camilla . If she thinks life going to be easy for her then she’s in for a shock and she also has to get through Sir Kenosi’s twisted games to try and break her . Love the narration it makes listening so much better.
