Discover a world of power, filth and depravity in the steamy and thrilling New York Knights series. The saga continues with this captive romance.I’m used to living a lonely, isolated life. I’m nothing more than a dirty little secret, and a pawn used in a twisted game of power. My half-brother is saddled with the burden of taking care of me, making sure I don’t land in the hands of our enemies. … the hands of our enemies. While he’s away on his honeymoon he hires a bodyguard to take care of me.
Davis Cooper, AKA the hot as hell ex-FBI agent.
My attraction to him is instant, but his cold disregard for me is annoyingly obvious. It triggers the rebel in me, and fuels me into doing things a girl like me should never do.
Childish? Maybe. But behind the stone-cold façade Davis wears so well I can see there’s a warm-blooded man waiting to devour me. He just needs a little nudge in the right direction–my direction.
Unfortunately, I manage to land myself in a heap of trouble. Now, what started out as little game of push and pull between us, changes into a bloody game of survival.
This is book three in the New York Knights series with interlinking storylines. Captive Night shouldn’t be read as a standalone and is the continuation of a five book series about the alpha protectors of Hart Corporation.
Previously published as Green in the Love in Color Series

This book is a page-turner! It leads the reader on an unexpected journey from danger, heartache, and hopelessness, to a wonderful place of acceptance and love.
At first, the main characters seem like they couldn’t be farther apart, but when they’re forced into each other’s company, that divide quickly narrows. Coop and Anna are an unexpected, yet fabulous pair. Personally, I enjoyed watching Anna’s growth and discovery of herself, even when the action became unbearably tense and I was yelling at my Kindle for her to run back to safety. Coop drove me crazy, but in a good way 😉
I Cannot wait for more from the Love In Color series.
This is the third book in the New York Knights Series, a Romantic Suspense. You have to listen to this Series in order for a better understanding of the world building. I love this Series. Coop and Anna’s story is action packed, filled with danger, and twists and turns. Coop, an ex-FBI agent, is handsome and protective. Anna is naive, and reckless. They share an undeniable attraction. The storyline is captivating. I like these series with intertwined characters. Caitlin Elizabeth and Jacob Diem did a good job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series.
Captive Night by S.M. West is a romantic suspense that I listened to on audio narrated by Caitlin Elizabeth and Jakobi Diem. The book was previously published as Green in the Love in Color Series.
This is the third book in the New York Knights Series. They shouldn’t be read as a standalone since they have interlinking storylines. It will be part of a five book series.
I absolutely love Suzanne’s books! I loved getting Anna and Coop’s story. I loved the chemistry between them and I really enjoyed that Anna was able to take charge of her life throughout the story. I can’t wait for the next book in the series Relentless Night to be released on audio so I can get Tommie and Max’s story.
Caitlin and Jakobi did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this series if you love romantic suspense.
Captive Night
New York Knights, Book 3
By: S.M. West
Narrated by: Caitlin Elizabeth, Jakobi Diem
I knew Anna was going to be a handful, but this story is so good, and so much fun, I just had to listen! Anna convinces Evan to take a short honeymoon and he leaves her with bodyguard, Cooper. He is extremely capable and very distracted with his own wants and needs. Between the childish antics of Anna to get his attention and the danger she invokes, things get out of hand and Coop is doing his best to remain professional. But the pull he feels towards her is undeniable, and he is beginning to realize this off limits, gorgeous, crazy woman may be the one. Will he be able to keep her safe? Will she be safe from him? Wait til Evan gets back to find out! It’s fun, flirty, dangerous, steamy and the best suspense I have listened to in a long time. SM West knows how to write a fantastic romantic suspense and I will be waiting for more.
Caitlin Elizabeth and Jakobi Diem enhance this story with a fabulous narration. Elizabeth has the right amount of attitude as Anna, and she knows exactly how to use it. She becomes Anna, as a strong, independent though at times bratty woman and lets us see her grow. Diem is finds his stride with Coop, frustrated, lustful, strong, protective and loving, this man has all the attributes in his performance.

Green by S.M. West is book 3 of her Love In Color series and can be read as a standalone. However, I would recommend reading the first two books to help you better understand the storylines and characters.
‘Green. The color of hope.’
S.M. West has created another 5 star read that had me needing to take short breaks to compose myself and wipe away the tears. Chapters 28 and 29 nearly broke me, and by the end, I was left feeling so emotional and definitely not ready to say goodbye to Anna and Coop who save each other. They also give each other the strength they need to make changes in their life and fight for what they want. Both have so much to lose by being together but I believe they were destined to become a couple and help each other heal. This has to be my favourite couple so far and I want a Coop of my own!
S.M. West throws in a surprise along the way and I honestly didn’t see it coming. There were no hints as to what was actually going on and I was as convinced as Anna that what she was witnessing was true. When she accidentally discovers the truth, my stomach dropped and my heart broke for her. Her discovery could end everything and I wasn’t sure what would happen next. For me, Green had a different feel to it and whilst it didn’t deal as much with difficult subjects like Red and Blue, it was still just as powerful and inspiring. I was sat up until 3am needing to finish the story and see if Anna and Coop would realise their feelings for each other and be strong enough to take a chance on love despite them both believing it’d never be part of their futures.
S.M. West is one of my favourite authors and this series is one I’ll happily recommend over and over again to anyone who has not yet discovered it. I’m now eager for the next installment of this addictive series and I wonder who will next experience love in colour!
*I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book and all opinions are my own
Such a great story! Anna and Coop are thrust together due to circumstance. Coop tries to fight his attraction, while Anna wants to be allowed to grow up. Her big brother Evan has other ideas.
Plenty of action, plot twists and great chemistry, there were with times when I wanted to kick Coop between the legs – but he always managed to win me over again…
Definitely recommend if you are looking for an action packed love story.
Captive Night (New York Knights #3) is filled with danger and darkness (my favourite kind of read) and had me hooked from the start!
As the story unfolds so do the thrilling twists and turns and the ‘OMG’ moments. Coop and Anna have some seriously hot chemistry going on and I loved Anna’s sassy side. This well written series with its fantastic characters and brilliant on going storyline is so exciting! I highly recommend it. I couldn’t put it down!
While I enjoyed this story I really didn’t feel a connection between Ana and Coop until almost the end. The story is filled with action, intrigue and suspense. It easily kept me going with all the mobsters that want Ana. She is in danger and doesn’t really know to what extent. I like her character as she is learning to fend for herself.
Davis I got to know in previous stories. I liked him but felt there was more to his story. We learn more about him and his past. I just didn’t feel he like-liked Ana. He called her kid a lot.
Overall I enjoyed this. The actual story was really good and unpredictable. We get to see a lot of characters we already know and love plus meet some new ones. I did listen to this on audio. Caitlin Elizabeth and Jakobi Diem are the narrators. Jakobi was a delight to listen to. He really nailed Davis. Caitlin was good too but I wanted to call out Jakobi.
Green, S.M. West’s newest addition to her Love in Color series features Anna and Coop, supporting characters familiar from her last novel Blue. S.M. West is a talented writer. Since her debut last year she continues to deliver interesting stories and likable characters. All of this is present in Green, however, I never connected with the characters Coop and Anna. I didn’t feel the essential chemistry that is needed to bring a couple together. That said, it’s a well-constructed novel, written in a dual first person point of view in West’s flowing style with plenty of action and excitement. I enjoyed the interactions of all the supporting characters and Tommie is especially interesting. I look forward to finding out more about her backstory and hope she is featured in a future book. I liked Green, it held my interest and I was happy that Coop and Anna found their HEA. I look forward reading further books in this series!
“All my life men have tried to force me to be the victim, and I’m tired of it. I’m going to fight every step of the way, until my last breath. ”
Green is the third book in the Love in Color series . While technically you can read it as a standalone, I strongly advise to read at least Blue first. You meet most of the characters in the previous and certain actions are happening you need to be aware of. If you don’t have the time, it’s also fine. SM West always does a wonderful job reminding us what happened before and I find myself always remembering what was important in the previous book so I’m not lost.
It’s save to say I’ve loved Green! To me the best in the series. The way the story grows, the way Coop & Anna fall for each other, the way it ends! Marvelous. I couldn’t imagine it in a better way.
I see SM West’s writing grow with each books she writes, with each story she tells. Her style is detailed and you can feel the different emotions going through the characters’ minds.
What was even more complicated in here was the fact Coop & Anna are quite the opposite. They have an age gap, they don’t have the same background, they didn’t even like each other.
Anna has always been kept away her whole life and she is now resolved to live her life. She’s aware she’s in danger but she doesn’t want to be kept in the dark.
Coop is an hurt man after his fiance cheated on him. Keeping an eye on Anna is the last thing he wants to do.
The attraction was a delicious pull and push ( yes in that order). Their love is far from a winning game and it was refreshing to have some resistance.
“You like it.”
“That’s got nothing to do with this. You couldn’t handle me. I’d shattered you into so many tiny pieces, you’d never be whole again without me.”< “Oh my God, cocky much? How big is your ego?” “Girl, you don’t know the half of it.” “Then show me.” This is not a flower & chocolate type of read . The Love in Color series never was. It’s a romantic suspense and you get surprises along the way. The twist and turns I didn’t see coming keep me hooked to the story and I can’t wait to read more in the next book. There were certain side-characters I’m very interested in as well. *wink wink*
