4 Lunatic Stars
I received an ARC of Captive Vow from Booksprout for an honest review no compensation was given. Captive Vow is a dark and twisted romance, and not for everyone. I really enjoyed Pope and Demi’s love story. And yes, it was a love story, maybe not your typical love story, but still a love story of sorts. I love when an author throws a big shocker into the story. The characters are well developed and the story kept me VERY entertained. The reason I didn’t give this book 5-stars was because I would have enjoyed an epilogue chapter, maybe a year later to see where Pope and Demi landed. But, I did appreciate the HEA! I was able to embrace the darkness of this story and I know if you are willing to approach this story with an open mind you will love it too!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Alta Hensley never fails to add the twist to stories that once finished, you are scratching your head saying…. What did I just read?
Captive Vow is a twisted tale that you find yourself humming Jack and Jill went up the Hill… just to soothe your mind from spinning. With a twist that had me thinking… I really need to improve my southern cooking and be more of a dutiful wife.
Demi is struggling in life. Her upbringing wasn’t one that would be wished upon anyone. Working at a Diner, her days are made when an elderly woman comes in to eat. Assisting her makes Demi feel needed. Her one and only friend Marie works at the diner. Like Demi, Marie has no family either. The two of them make up their own family. Watching out for each other, either one would do whatever it took to protect each other!
Pope is trying…he really is. But how much can he do to protect his mother. How much can he lose; how much can he sacrifice? One thing though, he will do whatever it takes to keep his mother safe to live out the rest of her life. He’s paid the ultimate price already for Momma but will he be able to do what needs to be done now?
Remember, Momma is always watching!!!
Captive Bride was sensational!
It ticked off all the boxes:
*Intense storyline
*Fabulous characters
*Danger and escape
*A lunatic for a father
This story took us on a long, breath taking, and scary journey through a haunted village and a crazy man who rules it all. It was twisted, it was dark, and it was especially dirty.
I have no words for this book! Starting out, I had no idea what was going to happen! Once the real story, of who was the real kidnapper came out, I couldn’t stop reading! The multiple personalities really gave it that curve ball that made you keep reading! I loved this book from start to finish!! This is definitely a one-of-a kind read, that’s for sure!
Captive Vow is a sick twisted dark read and I loved it!! Alta Hensley has written another great book. Demi a waitress and is kidnapped by someone she thought was her friend only to wake up to find her friend has a split personality. Pope’s mother Vivian (Vi) kidnaps Demi to be Pope’s obedient bride. This story twists and turns and takes you on an emotional journey with completely shocking moments. The story is well written and the characters are amazingly twisted. If you love a dark twisted, intense read while still being a sexy hot story, this is for you. I can not wait to see what this author comes up with next.
WOWZA!
after all the warning from the author about this book, i still didn’t see it coming! This book is a stefford wife with triple dark, twisted and perverse mind! And yet its sweet and heartbroken in the same time. I always feel there’s always a beuty in the dark. And this book is one of that beutifull story in its darkness, twisted, perverse mind.
I’m just gonna leave you with that cause i’ll be a spoiler and Alta will spank me if i do…oh wait that sound too kinky…lol
Anyway, i love my first Alta Hensley book!
Every good boy deserves the perfect wife, right? That’s what Demi Wayne gets told. And that’s what she gets taken for.
On a day when Demi’s world is already collapsing because of her mother, Viv, the nice lady that she helps at her diner shows up at her door. The next thing she knows, she’s been kidnapped, knocked out, and stuffed in a moving box. Viv tells Demi that she has to be quiet and drugs her again until they get to the final location. Demi wakes up to Vivian telling her that she’s there to become the perfect wife for her son, Pope.
I really liked this book. It’s got some really good twists and some good mindfuck going on, which is always a plus. The sex is good and hot, which is a bigger plus. The relationship that forms between Pope and Demi isn’t an insta-love relationship, it starts out as a way to protect each other, but it turns into a true HEA. Alta keeps the pace going and throws in enough swerves to keep you guessing. It’s dark, it’s intense, it’s taboo, and it should be on your must-read list.
Demi Wayne was having a bad day . . . an unbelievably bad day. It went from unbelievably bad to worse, however, when she is drugged and stolen away to become the submissive bride to a man she has never even met before.
Pope Montgomery would do pretty much anything for his mother . . . including jail time. However, he was not prepared for just how far she would go this time. How does he protect both his mother as well as his new captive bride?
Alta Hensley’s Captive Vow is a dark and twisted ride into the depths of a mother’s warped love and a captive’s forced submission. The plot contained one curveball after another and keeps the reader guessing as to how this book can possibly have a happy ending.
While seemingly outrageous, the storyline works and is compelling. Demi is a strong and loyal young woman who is willing to do anything to keep those she loves safe . . . and that loyalty is severely tested throughout this book. Pope is an intelligent and caring man, who truly becomes trapped while trying to do what he feels is the right thing. Thrown together by the most bizarre circumstances possible, these two characters connect and help keep one another sane while battling the whims of their unexpected captor . . . who believes training Demi to be Pope’s submissive bride is the answer to making everyone truly happy for the rest of their lives.
Lovers of a dark, twisted and sexy read will adore the roller coaster ride that Captive Vow takes them on. 4.5 stars and a life lesson that looks can be very deceiving and that little old lady may not be as sweet as she appears!
What can I say about this book. This book had my head spinning and I could’t put it down. Alta does an amazing job of luring you into the story and then from one moment to the next everything takes a 360 degree turn. This book messes with your mind. It is a book that is filled with emotions, very hot sexy scenes and you will hold your breath from the first page until the very last words
Great book!
