Loved this story
At times I left like I was watching the news. And I definitely did not like the heroine. I cannot stand needy women and she came off very needy. I also felt like the POV flipped from first person to third person which was kind of confusing. The storyline was decent if the other stuff had just been toned down.
This book starts with Grant looking for Blaire for he doesn’t want to believe that she is done with him but, he finds more than he expects. And then the stories goes back to how they met. This was a very interesting and good read.
I have read a few Victoria Page books and really enjoyed them however this book just didn’t hook me like the previous books. Grant is obsessed with Blaire after being rescued by her and her friend Liam when he had a snow mobile accident whilst out looking for his sister, Blaire takes care of him while he recovers and snow clears but stays aloof in regards to herself. Unfortunately I found Grant too much of an alpha/obsessive to the point where I actually didn’t like him at times, there was also for me too much steaminess and found it odd when she would be in first person but Grant in third person? It does have some good mystery and suspense as well as some good characters in it so still a worth while read.
Captive Lies was different then the last series of books I read by the author. When I started this book I thought it was the fourth book of the Misty Grove series. I was very wrong. I’m glad I was wrong. I enjoyed reading Captive Lies. This book was easy to read and sucked me right in. There many different emotions that ran through me as I read this book. This book had lots of action that kept me at the edge of my seat. I had no clue what to expect would happen next.
I loved the main characters, Grant & Blaire. They went through a lot of chaos within the first few months of thier relationship. This book also had had a phenomenal storyline. Grant learns early on in thier relationship, the secrets of Blaire’s past. Blaire has ties to the Russian Mob. She has escaped and gone into hiding. She’s afraid to take the chance of letting someone in and fears if she does form a relationship with someone. Harm could come to them because of her past with the mob.
Grant’s used to getting his way and wants to keep Blaire protected at all times from her nightmarish past. He has her set up with bodyguards anytime she steps out the door and he’s not near. He has no clue that she doesn’t need him to be her super hero. She was taught by a friend how to protect herself safe if harm may come her way.
Grant started off as the playboy. Once he met Blaire, he left that life behind. He allowed himself to fall head over hells in love. He was able to break through her wall brick by brick. She realized she had fallen for him also. Blaire and Grant were able to have the HEA that they were seeking in the end. They had to fight tooth and nail to disengage the past. They were then able to make the future happen and start a new chapter in thier lives. They weren’t the only ones who had a new start. Never again will Blaire need to worry about her past with the Russians coming back to haunt her.
“Faith overcoming uncertainty, courage overcoming fear, and love overcoming all.”
Captive Lies, Victoria Paige (very last sentence of Chapter 45)
The story starts with Grant looking for Blaire. Then we go back to find out how they have gotten to this point. A good story that kept me reading. Lots of secrets and the Russian Mafia always add excitement to a good book!!
This is my secnd book from Victoria Paige and wow what a mind blower it was.
Grant the Alpha possessive male and Blaire running away from her past. This book is filled with steamy hot love scenes. Lots of action and will keep you glued to every page.
Victoria Paige writes awesome stories and will keep you hooked in the book till the very last page.
Captive Lies should be one of those books that need a much higher book rating than a 5 star.
Excellent read and I will defanetly read mor of Vicotia Paige books.
This book will have you captivated from beginning to end! Blaire definitely keeps Grant on his toes. He is very possessive and demanding. He tells her what to do but she never follows it. Blaire gives back tenfold to him. She is a spitfire. I loved the suspense of this book. I loved Blaire’s strength and the ability to do what’s right. She knows why she’s on the run and how to keep a low profile. Grant kinda ruins that for her but he helps in stay safe or at least he tries. Grant is used to getting what he wants in life and Blaire gives him a taste of real life. She is head strong but cares at the same time. Her and Grant get into so many times, that you honestly don’t believe they are in love. They make up and Grant will do sweet things and you’ll believe again. This takes you on a thrill ride. So much action and suspense in this book!! I must say I loved every minute of it!
LOVE THIS AUTHOR THE WAY SHE TELLS A STORY. GRANT IS THIS VERY POWERFUL CEO OF A COMPANY AND WHO GETS WHAT HE WANTS COMES ACROSS BLAIRE WHO HAS A SECRET PAST THAT SHE HAS TRIED TO GET AWAY FROM A STORY A NEW LIFE. THESE TWO MEET AND THE CHEMISTRY IS SO HOT AND THINGS FOR SURE GET INTERESTING. TWISTS AND TURNS ALL THROUGH THIS BOOK KEEPS YOUR NOSE RIGHT INTO THE BOOK
I am really loving the suspense romantic stories. This book was really good. Grant is a total alpha male. He had his moments where he was a big jerk but then turns sweet. Blaire finds Grant passed out in the middle of a snow storm. With the help of her friend Liam. They get him to her house so he doesn’t die in the snow. Come to find out Grant is listed as a missing billionaires son. I loved the suspense and you can see these 2 falling for each other
Wow! This book kept me enthralled the movement I picked it up. There was a lot of mystery, suspense and action with a side of romance. It was wonderful. I throughly enjoyed this book.
This book kept me on my toes from beginning to end. Blaire could not catch a break. Her last kept coming back to haunt her and they kept tormenting her. Grant was the hot alpha there to try to save the day. It twists weren’t easily seen and the drama well,worth it for this read. Can’t wait to see what happens with Cam.
intense. Angst. Love. Heat. Action packed. Unpredictable. These are just some of the words that describe what’s in this book. This will have you constantly on the edge of your seat, with your stomach in your throat! Holy Crap was this good!!!! Everyone you thought, ok, it’s over, Blaire and Grant will be able to live their happily ever after, BAM! Plot twist!!!! and Liam, GAH!!!!! I hope we see him again! I really loved this book!!
Suspense, danger, secrets, intrigue, sexy Alpha,clever smart female lead, and throw in politics, and Russian mafia too. Sweet heat, depth to well written characters. Developed characters, angsty, and caring, even in face of questions. Recommended.
Enjoyed this story. I like how Blair wasn’t a helpless person, she was able to defend herself when she needed to. Grant’s family accepted her except his sister, but she came around. Loved the twist at the end on who betrayed her. Loved the ending, I think she figured out that Liam was still alive.
Enveloping, frantic and sweeping. The journey of Grant and Blaire will provoke curiosity, interest, cheer, scares and many sighs. How well do you know the person on your side? This is the main premise of the book. One day, during a blizzard, Grant suffers an accident and is rescued by a couple of friends. The unfamiliar and gentle woman who will take care of him as he re-establishes himself, becomes an interest and will awaken a fascination in our character. He will do everything he can to have her, but when he finally reaches the goal, will he be able to keep her? Is she really who she looks or his love will blind him, and he will not be able to see the web of lies that will envelop them?
I loved the reading. There have been so many twists and turns that a blink of an eye will cause important details to be lost. The prologue establishes a very high expectation, but the plot is able to maintain itself and in the end delivers a coherent and well-tied story. The characters are dense, with well-built past, which will be very important for the development of the narrative.
Grant is strong, firm, determined, but at the same time able to love. His sister’s accident caused him to close and isolate himself, but for Blaire’s sake he decides to change. Blaire has a surreal life. Her origins were very interesting, the whole situation of her secret was very creative. With a life of lies and hiding from the world, she could not be otherwise. Independent, cautious and unrelated. This is her reality. Until the appearance of Grant.
The book has moments of tension, the action scenes are well written, you end up being apprehensive while reading. The traitor is easy to identify, but in no way compromises the end. Grant’s sister is the perfect spoiled girl who will spice up the plot. Despite the more electric scenes, romance is present. Grant will fight with all the weapons available to win Blaire. And it will not always be a clean fight. Leaving her is not a possibility, and he will do anything to protect her.
Captive Lies is a very good book, holds the reader, presents something different and creative, fleeing a little from the formula good-boy + girl = happiness to the extreme. Here the journey to the happy ending is hard, with a lot of sweat, tears and blood. But very interesting to follow.
I really loved this book about alpha male, billionaire Grant and Russian born, tough girl Blaire. From the very beginning this book hooks you in and doesn’t let go until the very last page. Great characters and secondary characters, twists and turns, suspense, mystery and sexiness are all rolled up in this book. You definitely don’t want to miss out reading this one.
Captive Lies by Victoria Paige is another great romantic suspense. This is Grant and Blaire’s story that is action packed with lots of twist and turns. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
Grant and Blaire’s story is amazing. I really enjoyed reading this book so much so I never put it down until the end. Their story shows that once you love someone no matter the secrets, family, life events you will always find a way to be together. Love is lovely and that’s what this book embodies. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who believes in true love.
