Wonderfully written and so exciting to read. I love this series of books. He takes her and mates her against her will. He wants revenge for what several reasons. Except he is not as immune to love as he thought. This is full of suspense, intrigue, drama, twists and turns, emotions and so much more. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
A little bit of taboo when Kayden mates with Chloe against her will is just the tip of the iceberg as we dive into the story. (As for ice, have some handy because you will need to cool off as things heat up). Kayden seeks revenge by using Chloe, but the chemistry between them is strong. With twists and turns, I was on the edge of my seat and hoping these two would realize they are perfect for each other. This is my favorite in the series by far and a must read.
Tor Thom and Charley Ongel have that natural chemistry that brings this romance to life. Tor narrates Kayden perfectly with his deep, alpha voice and makes him commanding and fierce. Charley brings out all the emotions in Chloe. Chloe is a strong character and Charley easily narrates her as I imagined her. Tor and Charley always deliver a wonderful performance. They really enhanced the experience of this story and made me feel as if I was right there in the book.
4 star Review Captive Of The Alpha (Knotted Omega #4 ) by Laxmi Hariharan
Audio Review:
Laxmi Hariharan is a relatively new author to me. Although Dystopian paranormal romance is not a genre I typical read or listen to. This was a hot and steamy book, it is book one in Kayden and Chloe’s story and had me invested from the first to the last chapter.
The narration from Tor Thom and Charley Ongel certainly brought the story to life for me, the chemistry between them is obvious and they did the story justice.
Kayden is determined to seek revenge and chloe is the instrument that he chooses to use to achieve it. However what he doesn’t count on is his attraction to Chloe.
Will Chloe be rescued? Cannot wait to see what happens next. Be aware there are some situations that may be a trigger for some.
Captive of the Alpha
by Laxmi Hariharan
Narrated by Tor Thom, Charley Ongel
Knotted Omega #4
I thought I liked Zeus in the first three books, but there is something about Kayden that just does it for me. This installment of the Knotted Omega series lets us get our first peek at Kayden as he seeks revenge on his brother. He steals Chloe, and Omega from the harem and mates her against her will. But what he doesn’t expect is the feelings he develops for her. And what he is willing to do to protect her. A few twists and turns keep the suspense high and the emotions in turmoil. Surprising expectations come from Zeus and Lucy, leave Chloe in a precarious situation. It’s fast paced, erotic and has me rooting for this couple! Will Kayden get his revenge? Will Zeus save Chloe? It’s all up in the air until the next installment of the series.
Tor Thom and Charley Ongel continue the series with a fantastic narration. Thom nails the Scottish accent for Kayden. He is alpha through and through, and it’s easy to fall for this character. Ongel brings Chloe to life with a fabulous Russian accent! It’s spot on, and she gives just enough attitude to Chloe so we know she has spunk! Loved this one!

Laxmi Hariharan, brought new things to her writing. This book gave attitude, anger and an I do t care emotions from her character’s. Her description of the landscape, was explained well in her story. The reader was able to relate to the scene in the characters at that particular scene in the book. Kayden and Chloe brought the attitude. The paring of these two characters is different. Laxmi, worked creating a plot that joined these two together. This was an idea to use to I voluntary reviewed this ARC after receiving a free gifted copy. help the characters grow together on the book.

Seizing the moment, traversing the trials and tribulations, revving up a bounty of plot twists and sleek turns, fusing this baby together flawlessly. A tumultuous whirlwind full of vexing circumstances and enticing happenstance blasts your spinning emotions into play beautifully. Revealing the drama, intrigue, turmoil, underlying threats, secrets, deception, betrayal, danger, mounting suspense and perplexing situations along with a double dose of trouble while dodging dastardly deeds, you have one mind-blowing masterpiece. The characters are authentic and original with qualities and traits that blend into unbelievable personalities. The characters and scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and colorful descriptions so rich and lively, they balance and flow perfectly. Remarkable job Laxmi, thanks for sharing this little jewel with us.
“Captive of the Alpha” is a gritty, action-packed, emotional roller coaster ride in a Dystopian world of PNR romance with shifters. This short 4th book in the series (which I hadn’t read previously) so you may want to read them in order 🙂 it has a unique storyline, great descriptions & characters like H/h, Kayden and Chloe that kept me turning pages! I recommend this to all 18+ adult fans of fiction who especially like this sub-genre.
I absolutely LOVE this series. Laxmi has created a thrilling dystopian Omegaverse filled with obnoxiously delectable Alphas and powerfully determined beautiful Omegas. As is the Laxmi signature trademark, Kayden is a deliciously loathsome alpha-hole you hate to love. Chloe is a remarkable sassy Omega that you want to see flourish and hold down her own when facing the deplorable yet lickable Alpha Kayden. Their coming together was instant volcanic explosion; neither knew what was happening until it happened. While neither is willing to admit the power the other has on each other, Kayden seems to be the one struggling the most with accepting the fact that whatever plans he had to use Chloe went out the window they minute they mated. He puts Chloe through the ringer and at one point I actually hope he goes through his macabre plan and lose Chloe forever. There are twists and turns that have you ping-ponging from one end of the emotional spectrum back to the other. Once again Laxmi has created an enticing story with characters so rich and complex, all you want is more and more!
I found the plot full of suspense drama and heat.
The plot was interesting and well developed the characters
definitely had a lot of chemistry between them.
Its a read that is pretty hard to put down until the end of the book.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
Good story. I liked the story and the characters. Their intense chemistry was great and the ending was good. I received a free ARC copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my review.
An exciting and unexpectedly good read, the book starts off like an action movie, okay, first it is erotic, but then it totally jumps into an action movie with lots of erotic fun thrown in. I thought Kayden was sexy, but then I thought he was a total ashhole to Chloe for no real reason, then he redeemed himself before he totally betrays her. I felt for Chloe, with the way everybody wants to use her for their gain, and how she just kind of blindly went along with it all because she doubted her own inner voice. I kept rooting for her to get what SHE wanted out of all of the mechanizations, I didn’t like that it ended on cliffhanger, but if it keeps the story going and the books are on KU anyway, it’s not a deal breaker.
I loved this book, it has all the alpha male hunger and fierceness for the rest of the knotted omega series books. I like how Kayden is new to his feeling and fights them and his Omega till the end. Chloe definitely puts up a good fight, and keeps Kayden thinking with his heart more than his head. How This book ended with had me wondering what’s going to happen next, I’m in total shock. Can’t wait for the next book
Kayden definitely is like his brother from the first trilogy! He is all alpha and he is out for revenge against his brother. So he escapes his brother and decides the best way to piss him off is to steal one of his precious Omegas right from under his nose. And the Omega he picks is Chloe. She is about to go into heat and pretty much being around an Alpha puts her at right into heat faster then she usually would have been. Kayden pretty much tells Chloe that she isn’t going to ever like him and he has no problem with it. But Chloe starts changing him pretty much right from the start. . . And she doesn’t even realize it!
I really enjoyed this fourth book in the series. I liked getting the chance to hear the thoughts of both of the characters so that it was easy to connect to them understand their actions. They are both fighting their instincts but the connection is too strong to deny. The end is a real cliffhanger and leaves you wanting the next book right away.
I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received.
This book is so hot I’m pretty sure it sent me into an Omega heat cycle! Hariharan stuns with her Knotted Omega series and Captive of the Alpha is a wonderful addition. Kayden has so many complex layers to his alpha-hole behavior that I’m pretty sure we have only skimmed the surface with him so far. It was also great to see Chloe get a more prominent place in the series. She has been a secondary character to her sister Lucy’s stories for a while now, always lingering in the wings during books 1-3 of the series. I can’t wait to see her continual evolution in the series. Oh! I almost failed to mention the plot twists (yes plural!) that I never saw coming. Audible gasps could definitely be heard from me while I was reading. Stunned I tell you, STUNNED! I anxiously await the next book in the series and the rest of Kayden and Chloe’s story.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This talented author has written a very enjoyable steamy, hot dystopian romance. The plot is well-paced & has good scene descriptions with suspenseful situations & events. The strong-willed characters have good chemistry between them although the relationships between the two half-brothers (Kayden & Zeus) are still quite confrontational. There is some good support from the secondary characters.
There is: a determined male alpha (Kayden) breaks out of Zeus’s prison & promptly abducts a defiant omega princess (Chloe) from the omega harem & claims her for his own not realizing that his heart would get involved, a conniving omega (Lisa), marauders/vikings, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, drama, adventure, action, jealousy, deceit, betrayal, danger, threats, conflict, violence, power struggles, memories, abduction, disobedience, aggression, emotional turmoil, possessiveness, protectiveness, vengeful feelings, ruthlessness, verbal conflict, compromises, heat issues, defiance, steamy scenes, manipulations, devious plans, confrontations & fear. Sadly this book does end in a cliffhanger & I look forward to next book in this series. I would recommend this dystopian series to people who enjoy reading this genre.
Wow. Laxmi Hariharan know how to write sexy troubled alphas like no other. Her latest dystopian Omegaverse novel, Captive of the Alpha (Knotted Omega Book 4) certainly proves that. To say that Kayden and Chloe have a troubled start would be to make an understatement of epic proportions. What happens from there, however: legendary. Also tons ‘o fun and definitely recommended.
I was sucked into this story, almost against my will. I was pretty sure there was more to Kayden than we’d seen so far, and there is – so much more. This is an Alpha who understands what it means to be Alpha: the conqueror and the protector. Just as Chloe knows what it means to be Omega. She accepts this, even embraces it. That doesn’t mean she’s weak. This woman is no doormat. She wants an Alpha that’s worthy of her, and she’s going to make him prove it. No matter how they get started. This book ends on one heck of a cliff-hanger and now I’m dying to know what happens next.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
Kayden only wanted revenge and his lands back but lured by lust he made an impulsive decision. Chloe had intended to guard herself and fight the one that took her against her will but, weakened by the heat her resolve was lost. The intense narrations and descriptions had me enthralled. Lust, heated passion, intense emotions and violence in this story with fated mate protagonists. The cliffhanger left me amazed.
A story that will grab you.
As with all of Laxmi’s book this one doesn’t disappoint! It has a great storyline that is such a wonderful story and had the best characters imaginable. I can’t wait for the next book! I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
