In a post-apocalyptic world Olivia (Livvie) is an officer hoping to earn her place as a pilot for the Hunter-Killer Squadron of Magnus One, which is one of two remaining cities on Earth. Her job will be to take down the remaining resistance living in the wild & poisoned by the air of earth. After her plane is shot down she is rescued by Hayden, our hero, who is leader of the resistance force and former Officer of Magnus. He takes her into his protection and into his control.Hayden is compassionate to Livvie's plight and feels she is just as much of a victim as anyone because she has been brainwashed by those in charge at Magnus One. However, not everyone who lives in the wild feels the same way. To many she is the enemy who has helped destroy their families and lands. Hayden collars her and puts her under his protection. He is sexy, dominant, and shows Livvie who exactly is in charge. When she doesn't do what he says he gives her bottom a well placed slap and makes it very clear that he will do that and more if she does not obey him in the future.  After his warning smack he says, "If I have to do it again, It'll be a proper bare-bottom spanking." (YUM!) He makes good on his promise and so much more in many delicious scenes!Livvie discovers quickly that the earth's air is not poisoned as she discovers an entire community of healthy people living normal lives. In fact it was her who had been poisoned. The leaders of Magnus kept the air in the domed habitats that residents live in pumped full of a sedative to keep them compliant and easy to control. She realizes that everything she had been lead to believe her whole life was a lie. However, Livvie is spirited and independent. She is not just going to take all of these events lying down.  She shows herself as a fierce female soldier all the way through. First there is her sister to think about back at Magnus who has been taken as a donor to create a baby. It's not the traditional way of making a baby, Livvie has found out. They will cut her open and remove her entire uterus with little regard to her health or life. Then there is her independence. She finds herself irresistibly drawn to Hayden and all of the delicious things he does to her body...even the painful ones, like spanking. However, she has too much to fight for to fall into complacency. Hayden knows how to make her melt and feel very submissive toward him. However, she does not allow that to change her moral compass or the fight within her. She does what she believes is right no matter what!Post-apocalyptic books just do it for me. Add to that a steaming hot, dominant, alpha male, lots of spankings, anal play, and amazing sex and you have that perfect storm for me. Livvie is such a great character full of spunk, but at the same time has soft submissive tendencies toward Hayden. Hayden is deliciously dominant and so very sexy yet he is also a great leader and very compassionate towards Livvie, giving her the benefit of the doubt, when he didn't have to. I am a huge fan of Natasha Knight and Captive's Desire is no exception. This beautiful book has it all including a HEA. Spanking Romance Reviews
