Can someone please make this series into a movie?!

This series should be made into a movie, the story is full of action, suspense, romance etc. This would be a way better movie than Fifty Shades of Grey! Love CJ Roberts!

Secured In The Dark

This is the second novel in the Capture In The Dark series. I found the second novel less offensive than the first book.

It could be less offensive because as the novel starts we find now find Livvy is safe away from her kidnappers and is reselling her.story to FBI agent Reed, who has his own problems when it comes to sex and home life when he was young. Livvy also was assigned a Social worker, Soloan, who she never make a connection with and never trusts.

Very creative

Absolutely love this book it was a little dark but very creative and the author wrote it very well.

captivating sequel

Again another great story. I was surprised at some of the facts you find out. I wasn't always sure where Roberts was going but I enjoyed the ride. I would highly recommend this story but listen to book #1 first.

WOW!!!

I usually don’t take the time for written reviews but this book is worth the time for sure... I am a huge fan of the darker romance novels and BDSM. This book definitely fits the bill. It’s definitely NOT for the faint of heart. The warning at the bottom of the description is most definitely there for a reason. I was in tears through the whole book the first one not so much but this one really had me in my feelings. I’m anxious to read the 3rd and final book from Caleb’s perspective. 5 stars across the board for this trilogy.

Heart-pounding and intense

Much like the first book, this was an extremely difficult read/listen for me. Given the subject matter is about sex slaves and human trafficking I don't believe it was meant to be an easy-going listen. But in some strange way it was a happy story with a satisfying ending.

This book was intense, emotional, dark, disturbing and all together wrong! However, I absolutely loved it. (not sure what that says about me the listener). All the twists and turns and OMG moments were amazing. I loved the flashback and flash forward storytelling in this one. At first it made my head spin but in the end the pay-off was so worth it.

Definitely worth a credit in my opinion.

Very Very Good

This book had me in tears it was so moving I loved this story this book was also well written. I know Caleb did some awful things but Livvie loved him and god help me so did I don't know if that qualifies me as an emotionally sick women but I could not help but to fall in love with this man. As much as I wanted to hate him and watch him hurt. He was a monster but he had a heart and it was an internal battle for him, Livvie was his savior. I am so glad that they were finally able to be together

great story

Great story. I loved the back and forth between Livvie talking with the detective about her experience in real time and then back to where we left off in the first book. I loved how protective Caleb was over Livvie..But he also wouldnt give up his revenge mission so that was annoying. Livvie was so fierce and protective over him too when it count. I loved them both.

To much crying

Any additional comments?

I thought this book was pretty good, But I also thought that it would of been a lot better if there wasn't so much crying, I got really sick of it all, other then that I thought it was good.

A Top Ten Fave because it cannot be forgotten

When I first read Livvie's (Kitten's) story 10 years ago my heart ached, broke, and broke some more. The words on the pages were felt as much as they were read. Thanks to CJ Roberts, I realized how much I was drawn to the dark, twisted, and jagged edges of her love story.

I have re-read this title multiple times and recently decided to add the audible version. Although I wish all titles were done with duet narration, Emily Durante did a decent job with the Duet. Since I have read this title many times previously, I was already mentally and emotionally engaged in the events as they occurred. I only hope the narration provides the same benefit to readers that are new to Livvie & Caleb's story. I think a male narrator with a more mature voice would have been more appropriate for the Epilogue. Caleb sounded very young. Although he was only 28, his life never actually allowed him to be a little boy or young adult so it didn't feel like a very good match.

This series (Dark Duet plus Epilogue) deals with the dark nature of abduction for human trafficking. It is not romantic and it's not pretty; it's tragic.

In Book One (Captive in the Dark), Livvie/Kitten tells you what happened to her, how she felt about it, what she hoped for, and how she managed to survive. She also explains how Caleb evolved, in her eyes, from an absolute monster to a bad man that had also been a victim.

In Book Two (Seduced in the Dark), Livvie/Sophia goes on to share her struggle to comprehend everything that happened to her and sort through her feelings of betrayal, loyalty, and loss after her escape/rescue.

If you have triggers, this series is likely not for you. If you are open to seeing what one woman can overcome and how her heart spoke to her, then this is a story you should hear. It is raw and incredibly well-written. It will mark your heart.

The most powerful aspect of this series is the shadow it leaves. I read often and as much as time allows (hence, more Audible versions lately). I have read thousands of books and noticed that I have revisited pages for books I had previously borrowed through Kindle Unlimited. Sadly, I did not recall reading them or what occurred inside. I purchased the Kindle version of this series initially in 2012. Since then, random actions or names in other books often sparked the memory of this story. It takes hold and claims a space of its own. I'm really not sure how much higher your expectation should be.

Book Three (Epilogue) occurs one year later and shares Caleb's viewpoint. The content is lighter and navigates toward the HEA that most readers feel they need. Admittedly, I felt I needed that for my own closure when I first read the series. But in hindsight, I realize that wasn't the purpose of the journey. Unfortunately, most of us aren't as strong or resilient as Livvie was so the author provided us the crutch that we needed at the time.
