No Spoilers!Having read an advanced reader copy of this book, I'm thrilled to recommend Captive Hearts to anyone who loves historical romance with a mysterious and dangerous villain. The story is exciting and fast-paced and held my attention constantly.Perhaps my favorite part of this book is the heroine, Katherine. She is strong and determined and won't rest until she uncovers the truth about what happened to her family. Her character really drives the story forward, not only with her quest to solve the mystery, but also the internal questions that she grapples with about herself. I found her strength and wit a welcome departure from the characteristics of many typical historical heroines.Matthew, the hero, is engaging and endearing as well. Wounded by his past, it is tremendously satisfying to see him lower his guard and let Katherine in. The love story between the two has all the elements... it's sweeping, consuming, and heart-stopping.Happy to give Captive Hearts FIVE STARS!
