By: Julia Sykes

Length: 8 hrs and 21 mins

Publisher's summary

I don't like to be touched. I'm the hacker-geek-goddess of the FBI. When I'm hiding behind my screen, I'm a safe distance from everyone; isolated, powerful. No man has ever touched me, but when I'm captured by Colombian drug lord Andrés Moreno, I no longer have the right to refuse. He's scarred and scary, and his cruel brother Cristian has tasked him with breaking me. I try to fight, but I can't escape his strong arms and harsh discipline. He demands that I accept his touch, and my virgin body can't help but respond to his masterful manipulations.

The longer I remain trapped with him, the more I come to suspect that I'm not the only captive in his brother's home. Andrés' scars go deeper than the wicked furrows carved into his flesh, his pain reflected in the dark demands he imposes upon me. His obsession is twisted and wrong, but maybe I'm twisted, too.

Do I want to be rescued from him? Or is he the one who truly needs saving?

Freaky Good!!

Be aware that Joe Arden doesn't narrate in this book, but in the follow up, telling the same story from his POV. Both books are worth the time. Subject matter is not for everyone, but the overall story and performances were great. I couldn't stop listening until I completed both the books in less than 2 days.

Didn’t feel the connection

Just as the title says, I couldn’t feel the connection between these two. Sure they had sexual chemistry, but it made me think it’s only because he broke her sexual barriers. Her being an FBI agent wasn’t believable either, she seemed too meek and timid for such a tough job. Half the time I was rolling my eyes at her. Idk, this one missed the mark for me...

Hot and powerful❤

Loved this book and all the dark twists and turns in it. I even cried when he finally spoke the words "te amo"❤

Erotica from the other side.

The leading lady Samantha was captured by a drug lord. Sure that he would kill her, or more likely drug her, she fought him tooth and nail. By and by Samantha realized that neither would he kill her nor give the her th drug bliss. The ending is typical romance: the guy gets th girl and they live happily ever after.

The Best Part Wrapped Up Too Quickly

“Sweet Captivity” could have been really good. An incompetent female FBI field agent gets abducted by the male brothers who lead the Columbian drug cartel she is investigating.

The problem is that the kidnapping and captivity part of the book was rather long and detailed (with plenty of sex); however, the really interesting part — rescuing trafficking victims, taking down the perpetrators, and getting a certain person out — began and wrapped up in the last 40 minutes. It’s really too bad.

The resolution part could have been action-packed, suspenseful, and carried half of the 8-hr book. That would have been much more entertaining.

Sweet cativity

This was a great read. It kept me interested by wondering what’s going to happen next.

Don’t read it for the story

This book had so much more potential based on the blurb. Sadly, the “badass FBI” woman is a ridiculous moron. If you are reading it for the smut factor. Go ahead and read. If you are looking for great characters or a story outside of the bedroom look elsewhere.

Also. Joe Arden does not narrate this book. At all.

Loved it!! 🔥🔥🔥

This is the second time I have listened to this book!! And Damn it’s still a good story line with steamy hot sex!!!!

Where’s Joe Arden

I only wanted to listen to this audiobook because it said that Joe Arden would be narrating also...but my mans did not perform at all.. I really went into this book blind with just the knowledge that someone would be held captive.

Without giving spoilers, I'll say that it started off introducing the characters super briefly and then went heavy on the punishments and smut in the first few chapters. Since it started off super strong so fast, to me the rest of the book seemed so, "eh"
Like yes, it had some good spicy scenes but when it came to the plot and uncovering her emotional trauma, it was kind of resolved too quick.

I had to kind of force myself to finish listening to the book because I was expecting to hear Joe Arden and his appearance but I'm kind of disappointed.. BUT I did finish it.

A little taboo yet a good love story

I really enjoyed the taboo/love story! It’s not as dark as I previously thought. Joe Arden did a GREAT job with Andrés accent but it was an adjustment getting used to the female narrator. She has a purr to her voice that’s a little difficult to get use to but once I got over that it was fine. Definitely worth the credit or $$.
