Publisher's Summary

"Deep, dark, and sensual." (USA Today best-selling author Alta Hensley)

I was hired to apprehend a monster - a dom who'd been sentenced to life for killing his submissive. I've seen what he's capable of, and the images will haunt me forever. I swore I'd stop at nothing to put him behind bars.

But then our plane back to the States crashes. We are the only two survivors. And the monster will make me wish I'd died along with the rest of them....

Please note: This is a dark romance that includes kinky, sexual content and dubious consent.

Loved it!

This was a fantastic Dark Read! Trapped alone on an island with someone you despise... who also has full control over you. The emotional back and forth of this one was tantalizing! The internal struggle to submit when you feel you should do anything but. I loved this story.

Narration was fantastic. DC Cole was the perfect voice to these characters. Great job!

Stranded with Adrian!

If my plane crashed and I had to be on an island with only one other person, would I want it to be the man I had just arrested? Nadine had taken Adrian into custody and under unfortunate circumstances, these two are the only survivors of the plane crash. Now, no longer the one in control, Nadine is looking to Adrian for her own survival, and finds out more about than the man than she bargains for. Jane Henry has outdone herself with this book. It's full of suspense and that strong, alpha male protectiveness. Adrian is a man not to be reckoned with. He is strong, handsome and a survivor. Nadine is a strong willed, but knows she has met her match with Adrian. His dominance is looking for her submission, and Henry gives you enough of a taste of the lifestyle to keep you wanting to hear more. I love this about her books, she gives her hero, Adrian just enough of that flavor to make you fall in love with him, knowing you will be cherished and taken care of. With conditions as they are, this couple turns their situation around and learns there are things more important than the that of the lives they had. It's a great story, one not to be missed!

This book needs a good narrator and the choice of DC Cole could not have been better. The dual point of view flows easily with his ability to switch from Adrian to Nadine. His sexy, rasp held that thread of dominance when voicing Adrian, giving him that edge of control. Loved his performance.

loved it

I couldn't stop listening I love it soooooo much!!!!! I kept listening to it in my car when I'm driving i love that it's audio book

Enemies to Lovers Power Exchange -BDSM

An outstanding enemies - to - lovers story! Love that Nadine thinks she knows everything there is to know about Adrian. Then how Adrian thinks he learns everything there is to know about Nadine. But do they? Did I enjoy this book? Oh yeah.

The book is very well written with a great storyline. This is a power play, BDSM storyline but not in the way you might think. Between that and the language, it's not for everyone.

D.C. Cole is our narrator. He does a great job of putting real feeling behind the words the characters say. I can easily visualize what's going on and the story is well animated.

Held me captive!

Jane Henry's Island Captive was a tiny bit dark and a lot of sexy! Nadine is a US Marshall who's job it is to apprehend Adrian for the crime of murder - killing his submissive back in the states. He has fled to an island to escape captivity. When their plane crashes on a deserted island and everyone but the two of them are killed it is Nadine's turn to become a captive.

Adrian the sexy Dom decides to turn the tables on Nadine and make her his unwilling submissive and show her what it is like to be the one in charge. Adrian is determined to use her and "bring her to heel" without emotions. Just sex! Nadine is determined to resist him and wait for her chance to escape him and the island. Neither one of them however counts on their mutual attraction growing into something way more than sexual...As the two of them fight for survival on this island they realize their hearts are becoming captive to each other.

Is Adrian guilty of the crimes he's charged with. Will Nadine find a way to escape him and the island and bring him to justice? Will they even survive their time on the island? All is not as it seems and yet questions and lives hang in the balance.

D.C. Cole does an excellent job at narrating both Nadine and Adrian's voice - especially Adrian's. He really captures the emotions of both of the characters and draws you into the story.

I wish there was a follow up to this book. Who knows if we ask nice enough maybe Jane Henry will give us a sequel...

Interesting plot ruined

First, let me say my negative review has nothing to do with the sex related content. I like some pretty dark stuff, so that wasn't the issue. I'm not sure how much of what I disliked had to do with the narrator or the lack of spark between the characters. I get it that it can be hard for a man to narrate a female character, but this guy didn't hit the mark with the male character either. I also just really didn't feel anything between them. They came off as pre-programmed robots who would have said and done the same things regardless of who the other character was.

good story line

I liked the store line but was having a hard time connecting with the reader. I just wasn't a fan on the voice. Over all the story was very good

Great book...ok narration

Loved the story of Adrian and Nadine. It was well thought out, steamy, and exciting. Two things: I wish we got more background on Adrian and why his family did what they did. I also wished they had a female narrator. DC Cole was only ok in my opinion, I wish his voice had more inflection, it was basically just flat. Regardless, it wasn’t enough to distract me from the story.

There’s dark and than there’s darker.

AND THIS ISN’T THE LATTER!!!!
Medium dark romance. GOOD

ATTENTION 💣 TEASING 😈 SCENE!!
“Yes sSSIIRRRR” 😇🤪

Overall I’d rate this 5 stars. Sex throughout the novel. Resistance between characters. Tension. Affection, character growth and Spanking!!

“If you love something let it go, if it returns then you’ll know” this theme is present within the book.

Maine character isn’t really a tortured dark soul. He just happens to like being a Dom. Very lite back story brought in to give reasons as to why they have dark desires.

Mostly based on the two main character’s relationship and their life on the island. Both A Captive set free! (By❤️)

Interesting premise but lacking in development

I really liked the idea of this story. Enemies stranded on an island learning to survive and eventually falling in love. The beginning of the story really had me. It had great potential but slowly fell apart. It left me disappointed.

Some of the story line didn't make sense. There was a lot that wasn't remotely plausible. The ending was utter nonsense.

The narrator was ok but that could have been better as well. This story needed help that dual narration could have provided.

Overall I liked the idea of the story and the characters. It had great potential but fell short. Not worth the credit.

Deliciously sexy and stil delightfully romantic

This was such a delicious listen! The narration was amazing. The story was sexy, flirty, funny and darkly seductive. You don't want to miss this one!

So good!

This is a perfect story for those that love the dynamic between a Dominant and Submissive. The story is so pure and very addictive. If you love a good abduction and imprisonment fantasy then this is perfect and to top it off its a lovely romance, the genre blossoming out of it as the story progresses. I couldn't stop listening!

Must Read/Listen

Island Captive is a story about a Dom and his submissive/captive that I listened to on audio narrated by D.C. Cole.

This is the third book of Jane’s that I have read and look forward to reading more of her books in the future. I enjoyed the fact that the book switched between Nadine and Adrian point of view.

D.C. did an amazing job on the narration. I liked that he used different voices for Nadine and Adrian. It made it really easy to follow along with the story.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves BDSM, Alpha Males, and Romance books.

🎧 AudiobookObsessionReviewer

Island Captive by Jane Henry was a great listen. This story was well written and nice character development. I really enjoyed the journey of Adrien and Nadine relationship and Loved how they got their happy ending.
The Narrator D.C. Cole did a awesome job bringing this story to life.

Gateway book

The narrator was a good fit for the H, but very difficult for me with female voices. I do not agree with the classification of dark romance. The H is certainly into BDSM and a self confessed Don. But those things don’t mean “dark” at least to me. I find it more of a gateway book into that genre. So, more of a traditional stranded on an island but just so happens H is into alt stuff. 🎧 AudiobookObsession

Enjoyed it

Island Captive was a hot steamy read that will have you hooked from beginning to end. Labeled as a dark read it wasn't all that dark,yet this enemies to lovers story had elements of a D/s relationship and some BDMS. The plot was not too complicated as we see the federal marshal and the criminal she went to apprehend both stranded on a deserted island and their journey from captor/captive to lovers. You will like the main characters and be rooting for them to make it. There were a couple parts that were a but unrealistic but it worked well with the story.
I listened to the audible version of this novel which was narrated by DC Cole. I enjoyed listening to his voice. He brought the male character to life but it took me a little while to get the female characters. However I was soon hooked and enjoying the story. This was a good read and I would recommend it to those looking for a fairly light dark read.

Enemies to lovers

A good enemies to lovers story well told by DC Cole. Adrian is a strong, determined character with Nadine a woman of heart and morality. Their pairing, though initially through necessity, becomes so much more.

devastatingly emotional story

this is a brilliantly written story which takes you through a whole range of emotions along with the characters. I Love Nadine and Adrian and really enjoyed how the author built the characters and plot line.
Very sadistic and gritty but also protecting and caring! an intruiging read which is rich in description and colourful depths.

Let this audio capture you

This audio is a fantastic listen. It has everything you want in an enticing story .
This story is about a Dom that is suppose to have done something to his Sub .
Hero is Adrian Heroine is Nadine.
Nadine is out to capture Adrian and bring him back to the States .She captures Adrian . Her and her partner is on a plane bringing Adrian back , but wow what happens to the plane starts the story , The plane crashes and Adrian and Nadine are the only survivors . Adrian takes over . Nadine is slowly changing her opinion of Adrian .
This is a great story . It’s not what you expect.

D.C. Cole is fantastic. His voice is smooth as whisky , sexy , and strong.

I highly recommend this one
