I tried to put one man in prison. Then three men took me hostage.I knew going after one of the most powerful mafia bosses in the world would be dangerous, but I didn’t anticipate being dragged from my apartment already sore, sorry, and shamefully used.My captors don’t just plan to teach me a lesson and then let me go. They plan to share me, punish me, and claim me so ruthlessly I’ll be screaming … ruthlessly I’ll be screaming my submission into the sheets long before they’re through with me. They took me as a hostage, but they’ll keep me as theirs.
Publisher’s Note: Hostage includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Wow, this book is amazing. I must say it me awhile to get into the mind set. This book is full of twists up until the very end. Actually it was quite a shocker to be honest. In read this I discovered that the characters have been made for each other. They all have lost loved ones and trust no one, but together they start to build a relationship based on trust. That really is what have kept me so drawn to this storyline. I love how perceptive they were at reading each other. Most of all, I love how the lines of communication opened up between the characters.
I won this book in a giveaway and I was ready for it, or so I thought. As I was listening to this book I was reminded of a phrase made in a book I previously read, topping from the bottom. I know nothing about a dom and sub relationship but the way that she was continually allowed to voice her demands and opinions didn’t fit what they claimed they were supposed to be doing. I understand they were all being forced at first but later, after the situationchanges, it seemed like they were still trying to continue treating her like a sub but none of them had a clue how to go about it and didn’t want to admit they didn’t know. I feel like the story should have either gone a different way or the dom/ sub relationship should have been developed better.
Outside of that I loved the story. Thomas Locklear did an awesome job bringing the characters to life.
Fantastic dark romance between district attorney Carina and the three men who kidnap her after she prosecutes Santana, a notorious Mafia boss. Ruger, an undercover cop, has loved Carina since they were teens. Damien was Ruger’s best friend back then also, but he is now a bounty hunter. Aleks is rogue KGB. The kidnapping was set up by the evil Lucian Masters, who threatened to kill Ruger’s sister if they didn’t cooperate. Carina is to be totally broken by the three. Also in this twisted plot is The Raven, head of a trust of powerful men gone bad. As the story progresses, more questions arise as to why Carina was kidnapped and how this will end. The men come to the conclusion that they are all being played and soon the kidnapped becomes the protected. Carina finds herself both totally dominated and in love with them. The chase is on as they try to stay one step ahead of the bad guys while trying to determine just who the bad and good guys are. Well-written, suspense-filled plot. Hot, steamy, sexy – a book you’ll want to read from start to finish without stopping. Another great Piper Stone book!
Our heroine is taken after testifying against a very bad man. They are going to break her and make her theirs. But is anything really that simple?
This is a dark romance story, something which this author is rather good at. I found the story to be well written and rather intense, with lots of twists and turns to the plot which kept me wondering where things were going. All throughout we are treated to multiple steamy scenes in different combinations. I found the characters to be fairly well developed, although the guys could have had a bit more depth and our heroine could have had a bit less “lawyer” in her, always questioning everything even when she knows it isn’t going to get her anywhere. Beyond that minor quibble, I found that I rather enjoyed the story and look forward to more from this author.
Highly recommended.

This book was truly mesmerizing from beginning to end. Carina is a DA and has been kidnapped. Her captors are Damien, Ruger and Aleksandr. These three alphas will have their way with her and show her things she did not think she could possibly enjoy. This book will bring everything to the front of your mind and make you believe you are in the same room.

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Carina will leave you breathless, she wins a big court case putting a mafia boss behind bars. Carina was taking a bath when someone kidnapped her then they joined up with two more men. There was D/S, scared, humiliated, blackmail, violence and trust issues.

More than a few triggers but still a lot of explosive chemistry
Hostage by Piper Stone looked like it would be a very intriguing story if it lived up to the book description. In some ways it did and in other ways it did not, thus the 3 Stars.
Carina is a prosecutor who ends up kidnapped by three very large Alpha men. Ruger is a former Marine and is now a cop, Aleksandr is former KGB who is haunted by the killings of his wife and daughter and Damien in a bounty hunter. Each man has their own reasons for being pulled into the kidnapping but what they each find is much more than they ever expected, as it was supposed to be an easy job – kidnap Carina, break her down and then train her as a submissive. But she is stronger than any of them think and she fights them the entire time.
There are some triggers in this book as this is very dubious consent not only with the kidnapping and domination but also the sex was forced in the beginning. But once Carina gives in to the three in the bedroom then things turn really interesting in this RH story. From my POV the story would have been better there was more consent as it made me uncomfortable as it is written. I also found that Carina’s character was a bit annoying with the amount of idiotic “probing” questions she continued to ask. The story ended up being long for me and I did skim some of the book without feeling like I missed anything. I would still recommend Hostage to anyone that likes Piper Stone books but I don’t think this is the author’s best book.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
What a fantastic book! There are plenty of twists and turns in this plot that is filled with suspense and steam. It’s dark so if you have triggers then read the blurb and consider if this is for you. I personally loved every second of this story. It’s a page-turner as it drew me in to the story from the get-go. Loved the characters and they are so well described and have depth to them.

The Raven is…..
A harbinger of death, war, destruction and ill omens.
Carina, Ruger, Aleks and Damien are bound together at first by manipulation, threats, blackmail and common enemies.
Carina is taken as a pawn, her life on the line, set to be used, trained and broken. But the three men set to this task find common ground in thier enemies, lust and love for their captive.
This story is one adrenaline ride of action, heat, chemistry, lust, twists and turns, betrayals, bloodshed, manipulations, choices and consequences. A superbly well written story that will keep you on the edge of your seat in excitement, anticipation, trepidation and arousal. Well rounded and believable characters pull you in to invest all your emotions on this intense, complex, intruiging, erotic romance. I freaking loved it!!!!!
This book was intense, enthralling and tantalizing with untold danger and emotion!

Wow and double wow!! This book was so intense, the characters both good and bad involved in a twisted plan to pervert justice, with organised crime and and an international crime Kingpin, all involved in a twisted revenge that left me shocked. Entwined in this, is the story of young love revisited, and dark and erotic sex scenes with multiple players. I could not put this book down, the twisted drama behind the scenes keeping me guessing far into the night. The suspense drew me in and the characters amazed me. This book is one you will have to read, a book that will enthrall you, captivate you with its complex web of underground crime, and tantalized you with it’s hidden dangers.

A truly outstanding mafia romance with dark undertones. It captured my attention & did not let go until the last page was turned. The story-line & plot is suspenseful, well-written & intriguing. The well-developed characters have unique personalities, some of them are inclined to be devious with deadly intentions but continue to develop & ultimately complement each other.
There is: a female prosecutor (Carina) almost at the end of a prominent court case to do with a murderous crime boss (Santana Dioletti aka the slicer) when three powerful men (Ruger, Damien & Aleksandr) take her & then decide to claim her for themselves permanently, a dangerous man (Lucian Masters), corrupt law enforcement, KGB, bounty hunters, mafia, FBI, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, mystery, secrets, adventure, action, devious plans, abduction, blackmail, danger, threats, enemies, violence, brutality, suspicions, manipulations, defiance, non-consensual scenes, domination/submission, discipline, spanking, humiliation, anguish, trust issues, memories, confrontation, betrayal, discovery, escape attempt, decisions, compromises, love, contentment, steamy scenes & a well-deserved happy ending.
Wow! Hostage was such a fantastic, suspenseful and steamy read that i devoured this book in one sitting. The suspense was killing me!! I was hooked from the start. If you like dark RH romance this one is for you.

Ante is upped with suspense and twists
—>>> As a prosecutor to a high-profile crime boss, Carina is kidnapped at the end of a very trying case by three Alpha males who are more than skilled at keeping her captive at their isolated cabin. An even more developed and riveting read with its suspenseful and complex storyline!
Hostage is much more than the book i imagined it would be. That was of a girl kidnapped and held hostage by alpha types. So plenty of sex and very little else. Yes there is plenty of sex (and its flaming hot!!!) but apart from that its a damn good story too. A lot of backstories that come together to build the tension as well as the characters. Characters which you dislike initially until their stories slowly emerge and look at them differently. If dominant men aint your thing you might want to bypass this book but i really enjoyed it. A good read
** 3.5 stars**
These dark Mafia romances by PS have a more intriguing plot and dynamic character component than her other books. The storyline is more complex and engrossing (sometimes it’s a little too overwhelming) with each book. There is still the dominance and darker themes that are usually associated with her books and but you will find a more serious and longer plot line in this book
