Rating: 4 out of 5

Why I Read this Book: After hearing about The Hostage Bargain and reading the blurb, I was insanely curious. The premise of a hostage falling for her abductors intrigued me. The premise for this book was over-the-top crazy but that's what made this such a fun read.What I Liked: Some of the circumstances that occurred in The Hostage Bargain were a little crazy and farfetched but I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I knew going in that I was going to get a crazy tale and I think that allowed me to enjoy reading it.There was no preamble; The Hostage Bargain started right off with the bank robbery already in progress. I like when an author cuts right to the chase. As soon as I started reading, I couldn't put this book down.I was concerned that The Hostage Bargain was going to resemble a porno but surprisingly enough it didn't. (And thank goodness for that!) There were some erotic scenes and M/F/M action but nothing too crazy (considering there were 3 guys and just one girl). Everything that happened was consensual, for all involved parties, and some of it was even initiated by Melinda.What I Didn't Like: There were some typos and grammatical errors but nothing too bothersome.Overall Impression: The Hostage Bargain was a fun and wild ride, and even had some intense moments. It was pure entertainment. The book left off with an open ending (not a cliffhanger) so I'm looking forward to reading the next book.
