4 Captivating StarsI didn't read the disclaimer to this book, so just to let everyone know, this isn't a dark book.  Now, that's out of the way, I want to say Willing Captive is a light-hearted read and my first Belle Aurora book.Lily is taken from her home.  She's confused and scared. Nox is the one in charge of her and baby-sits Lily.  Lily is a stubborn, head-strong girl and makes it hard for Nox to keep her in check.  All of this goes on, while Lily's life is threaten.First off, there's not a lot of pre-no-non-sense in this book.  What do you mean? Lily is taken in chapter one. I like this.  Sometimes when I read kidnapping books and there's a lot of pre-character development I get a little side-track and bored.  It's a pretty fast pace book that keeps you on your toes.Lily is a strong girl and I'm starting to like these girls. She doesn't go down without a fight.  And Nox, oh man, I like him.  He's a big burly guy and it's kind of adorable how he interacts with Lily.  Oh they have major banter and there's plenty of push back on both parts."That one person everyone looks for. They search and search, and some die trying to find `em. And when you finally meet them, something inside of you says 'Oh, there you are. I've been looking for you. And I didn't even know it."I even like the side characters, the people who also guard Lily.  I laughed at many of the parts and overall the story was interesting.  The read isn't overly steamy, but there are steamy parts.  Lily did frustrate me at times.  I think it was her "innocence" I kind of had a problem with.  Shocking I know.  I usually am all for the sweet girl, but maybe I couldn't mix a strong and sweet girl at the same time.Not the entire story is about Lily being held as a captive and I liked that.  The book shifts towards the end and it adds so much bam to the story.  I was kind of shocked by the change of direction, but that doesn't mean I didn't gobble it up.It's a light-hearted book with a kind of kidnapping theme and if that is your thing, then Willing Captive is for you.  I'm a fan of Belle Aurora and I can't wait for my next book by her.This review is written by Jacqueline's Reads - > [...]
