Publisher's summary

Contains a prequel novella and book 2 of The Captive series.

As the most notorious, sadistic drug lord on the West Coast, I thrive on power and control. Valentina loathes me as much as I despise her. That doesn't stop me from kidnapping her, stealing her away for myself.

Over the years that have separated us, hatred has festered in my heart. The girl I once loved is all woman now, and she thinks she belongs to someone else.

Her defiance tempts and torments me, and I'll never tire of devising devious punishments to keep her in line. She can't escape my cruel touch and harsh discipline. No one will take her from me. I'll kill anyone who tries.

I will possess Valentina, body and soul.

It was good

I had high expectations going into the story. The prequel had me trapped into the story. As soon as I noticed I was already 2 hours in without stopping.

Once book 1 started, it was everything I hoped for. I feel like it dragged out while making their way to California and the drawn out hatred for each other rather than letting each other know how they felt about the past.

The last couple hours BAM! Got sucked right back in.

I loved the narrators. Christian Fox and that deep voiced accent. Made the story even better.

perfect

Very good story line. I wish it was longer but there isn't much that could be added. The ending was rushed but I was satisfied with the ending. The narators were perfect especially Adrian. Christian Fox has a sexy voice.

Good listening

Wow this was so intense. Loved the first book, but this one was better. I gave it a 4 because I didn’t like Hugo take her virginity. I wish that Andre was her first. But, over all wow!

love me some Fox

Great Narrating.
The story wasn't bad but I felt like it could of been cut shorter but it was good. Of course Christian Fox is amazing. I'm new to Sienna Voss but I actually love the voice that she did.

Perfect narration

Usually I never write a review. Just mark the starts, so I had to review this one as I loved it so much, especially the narrators that brings this story alive .
Sienna Voss and Christian Fox are doing a great job with transferring the story with all the emotions needing for this captivate story.
Christian Fox is my favorite narrator. Read a lot of audiobooks which he narrates and in each one of them he is sooo goooood . His voice is one of the best there is.
So having him narrated this one was a perfect choice.
I am sure I will listen to it again.
Thank you Julia Sykes

Needed more

I wish there was epilogue or continuation of the book. Also, where can I find my own Adrían ❤️. Too bad it took him so long to Come get her.

Stealing Beauty

Wow, Valentina and Adrian’s story has blown me away. I did think they would ever be together, but after clearing up the misunderstandings it seems like time stopped just for them. I love Adrian’s caveman rescue of Valentina. As I listened to that part I was so thankful that he got to her in time. At the same time I was wondering what happened the woman who was with him. I must say that over the year Valentina has learn to play the role as a wife, but when it comes to Adrian the love is still there beneath the surface. Also, I love that although, they have grown the expectations of each other are so different to who they truly are. Most of all I loved reading about Hugo’s end and Adrian’s father defeat.
