Willing Captive is not what I expected. Don't let this cover or title fool you, this is not a dark read. It is funny, lighthearted, sweet, beautiful, I could keep going. This is the first book I've read by Belle Aurora and it won't be my last. I loved Belle's writing, how she can make you feel for the characters and then having you laughing the next.Lily (Deliliah) or otherwise known as Krinos is a twenty two year old women who still lives at home with her over protective parents. So much so that she works in the family business, she isn't allowed out of the house on her own and her sister is her best friend. Her life consists of working coming home and staying in the confines of her bedroom wrapped up in a book. She lives a very sheltered life and she is ok with that, she doesn't really know any different. Lily may live a sheltered life but the girl is sassy, quirky and very funny. Lily's father has his reasons for being over protective and she is about to find out why.Just as Lily's father starts to confess to Lily and her sister the problems he has been having within the company, their lives are about to be turned upside down...Not long into their conversation the girls are sent to their rooms, as Lily walks in she stands face to face with her 'kidnappers'. These masked men quickly explain that they're there to protect her from the threats her father has been been receiving. Nox is the man in charge, along with Rock and Boo. These people were hired by her father to keep her safe until the threat and drama he has within the company has been dealt with.Nox, is a straight shooter, mysterious, hot and sexy. He is also cocky and an ass."Standing face to face with a still pissed off Nox, I find myself getting pissed, too. Nox just has that effect on me. I swear this guy must've been conceived through back door action. There's no way being that much of an a$$hole is natural."Lily becomes very close to Rock and Boo, for the very first time she has real friends. Things with Nox are up and down, hot and cold, she understands why it's needed for her to be where she is but they are constantly at each other.Lily hasn't been around guys before she hasn't done the whole dating thing but there is something about Nox, while they butt heads there is something about him..."I never realised how much I hate my life. Not until he showed me beautiful."The last thing Nox should be doing is developing feelings and a bond with someone while they are under his protection. While he tries to keep his distance, he just can't seem to stay away. Nox doesn't do relationships, you can't in his line of work, but Lily and her sassy attitude have gotten under his skin. The feelings are mutual and they are both falling for one another."You remember what you said this morning? About it being totally stupid to fall in love with me?" At that, my eyes open. He adds quietly, "then you should start calling me a ffing' moron."Nox's job is to keep Lily safe, what happens when the threat has gone? Nox's job is a secret and he, Rock and Boo don't exist. It's an impossible relationship, how would it ever work. Regardless Nox will always protect the women he loves.I loved both Lily and Nox's characters and loved the banter between them even more. This was an amazing book and I look forward to reading more by BelleReview by Kristy
