“You will cooperate and be a good girl, or I will make you hurt.”This story is for readers who enjoy dominant, foreign men. In this case, a Russian Dom who is super possessive and likes to push his submissive’s boundaries. Fantasy fulfillment. And a taste of dub con (dubious consent), just a taste of it for those who want get their toes wet in the dub con genre. It’s not over the top and is not likely to push any trigger buttons, yet has some super hotness moments.The BDSM and sex in this book are hot and plenty. So, if you’re looking for some smexy, perverted fun, then you’ll definitely get that here.“His total attention was on her and it felt like a caress as warm as the sun coming through the windows of the plane.”For me, being a huge dub con & non con enthusiast, this story was a bit too civilized. I wanted more of a chase and conquest with some reluctance in the middle. More tension. I mean, there’s “captive” in the title. I wanted more of that.The Russian part was something I was really looking forward to, because, duh, Mother Russia and all that. But there is a downside to having an intimate knowledge of something – encountering it in a fictional setting can rip the reader right out of the story if it doesn’t feel authentic. Kind of like a lawyer reading about court proceedings and screaming, “NO, that is NOT how that works,” at their e-reader/book, etc. I had a moment like that and I don’t think I ever truly recovered. But I don’t think that anyone who isn’t Russian would notice or care, so this is purely a personal experience. And I should mention that, aside from that one blooper, the Russian culture was depicted pretty accurately.Favorite Quote: “She craved his touch more than she craved cheesecake, and that was saying something.”I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys BDSM romance with lots of sex…If you'd like to see my bastardization of Green Eggs and Ham, then go here: [...]
