Publisher's Summary

Lawson Scott has been a prisoner for three years. He's been subjected to torture, degradation, and numerous tests by humans wanting shifter blood. He's convinced he will spend the remainder of his life chained to a wall until sexy scientist, Liv Kimbro, is assigned to his case. She's the first human to show an ounce of compassion and their attraction is combustible despite his disdain for her species. An escape plan unfolds and Lawson sees how far Liv will go to set him free. Passion erupts and raw, primal need is unleashed when they succumb to their desire for one another. 

Will Lawson reach his safe haven and find a life mate when Liv captures his heart or will their differences destroy them and everyone he loves?

Liv and Lawson

Great book that had lots of suspense. Loved both Liv and Lawson. Liv turns out to be a very brave soul. This book was hot (especially Lawson) and the pace was great.

Cliff Bergen did a pretty decent job with the narration. I feel that the book would benefit from dual narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Intense world.

This was a fast paced book full of suspense. I loved the world building and the characters. Lawson was hot! Liv had such a big heart full of compassion. I really liked her. She was also tough and brave. One thing l was pleasantly surprised by is the story Is set in Chattanooga, Tennessee! Two hours from me. That makes it seem even more real.

I listened to the audiobook. While the narrator was great at telling the story and has a great voice. He wasn’t the greatest at female voices. But I’ve heard so much worse. It got better the longer it played. I can’t wait for the next one.

Another great Trim and Julka book (and series)!!!

Captivity is a great book! Hollow Rock Shifters is a great series! Trim and Julka never fail to deliver, my only complaint is I didn't love the narration.

DNF

I love paranormal romances so I was looking forward to this series but I couldn't even finish it. The h was beyond stupid and unreal. SPOILERS...She knows these shapeshifters are basically being tortured and she goes on with her life laughing and having a great time with friends plus one evening when she's thinking about seeing Lawson the next day at work she skips to her car, talks about how giddy she is and wonders what she should wear. Seriously? He could possibly be getting beat up right then and she knows it but she's giddy and wondering what to wear. Then one day she goes through the trouble of drugging her boss and she doesn't break him out? She even forgot her phone so he couldn't call his family nor could she get some pictures so she drugged her boss for nothing! END SPOILERS. There are just no words. I quit reading during that chapter (chapter 10) because I just couldn't take it anymore plus I decided to read the reviews to see if it would get better and from what I read it didn't so I quit and obviously won't be finishing the series because their reviews don't sound any more promising. I hate not finishing a book but I just could not stand the h. I cannot recommend unfortunately.

book 1 Hollow Rock Shifters

A beautiful read/listen about how simple acts of kindness are so necessary. Lawson is a captive shifter being experimented on and beaten. Luv works at the lab and accidentally stumbles on Lawson being mistreated. The rest is how their instant bond continues to grow as Liv takes risks to free Lawson and any other shifters who may be captive in the lab. Sweet, with heat, suspense, action and adventure. Narration was perfect, well written with great storyline and flow. I'm looking forward to more in this series.

I received a free copy of this book and I provided this voluntary review.

Liv is a fierce woman

Liv is a fierce woman who thinks she is saving Lawson, who later admits that Lawson had saved her. Great story line!

Audible : Terrible voice

Couldn’t handle the guys voice when he was reading out what what the girls would say. It was so bad I got to chapter 2 and couldn’t go any further

Really enjoyed it!

Great book and good story line! I really liked the main character she was a really strong and brave female lead. There was definitely a few super hot moments! But it was never written in a distasteful way if you know what mean. The narrator had a lovely voice is was crisp and clear.
I would definitely recommend this book if you want a good short story to listen to.
