Both disturbing BUT very captivating
The gangster Andrès Moreno observes with reserve the young woman tied in front of him : completely ordinary if it were not for her incredible flamboyant red hair…
His brother Cristian is about to question the young woman, the knife in the hand.
Andrès shudders in advance…
——————-
It is the same story as in volume “sweet Captivity” (in which the FBI agent Samantha was kidnapped by the dangerous Moreno brothers) but this time from the point of view of Andrès.
Dark romance, BDSM, dominated/dominant relationship and a hint of Stockholm syndrome for this sometimes disturbing Reading BUT very captivating thanks to the author’s very detailed and effective writing.
To discover at least once.
A Reading that will delight fans of the genre.
This story was pretty dark I loved this book!
This is a dark and twisted read where the beast of a broken man succumbs to innocence. Some may find this book a little too dark as the nature of the story is about claiming his captive, as he uses mind play with dominance to get the woman to submit. In the end past truths are revealed and they have move past them to secure a new future. Great read.

~~ 4.5 “MAD ABOUT MASTER ANDRÉS” STARS!!~~
“What are you so afraid of, cosita? The pain or the pleasure?”
Master Andrés returns with a VENGEANCE in this deliciously diabolical, hypnotically seductive and ultra steamy re-telling of SWEET CAPTIVITY!
THE STORY:
FBI techie/field agent Samantha Browning is taken hostage by Andrés Moreno’s goons after she’s caught spying on the family empire. He arranges to have her brought to his older brother, Cristian, for interrogation and the terrified young fed is left completely at the cruel, sadistic drug kingpin’s mercy. However, rather than torture her to death, which Cristian would so relish, he realizes she can be useful to him. He wants her to use her topnotch hacking skills to erase all the incriminating evidence the Feds have collected against their family. But rather than break her himself, he hands his prisoner over to Andrés and gives his younger brother three weeks to “train” her—by any means necessary–to get her to do their bidding.
Otherwise she’s as good as dead.
And it’s a task that a secretly besotted Andrés, who is scarred on the inside and out, takes on with salacious zest! He loves training the trembling virgin to ache for his hot burning touch, all the while taming her fiery, defiant streak and getting his naughty “gatita” to bend to his iron will. Yet even as he rejoices in her pleasure and pain, her pleas for mercy and her gasps of sweet surrender, he never counted on his pretty flame-haired prize rousing his EVERY PROTECTIVE INSTINCT. Or her innate ability to tap into the human heart that beats inside the “beastly” exterior! He has claimed sweet Samantha as his and has no intentions of ever letting her go. But with the clock ticking, can he find a way to save his “sirenita” from a horrific fate?
MY MUSINGS:
Sighhhh…Master Andrés is my ALL-TIME FAVE Julia Sykes’ anti-hero and getting his side of the story was intoxicating! CLAIMING MY SWEET CAPTIVE (which is a companion novel but can be read as a standalone) has the perfect blend of thrilling dark twists, scorching hot erotic interludes, pulse pounding suspense, and heart-throbbing feels!
I so relished loved being deep in the recesses of Andrés’ dark, depraved and oh so twisted mind as he preys on Samantha with such sweetly sinister delight! And as titillating as I found it when he devises perverse ways to punish and possess his adorably fierce yet alluringly fragile captive, I was equally enamored by the other sides of him that emerged: The WICKED, WORSHIPFUL LOVER who awakens his beloved’s every carnal desire. The SWEETLY DOTING DOM who soothes away his “sirenita’s” crippling fears and caters to her every want and need. And the PRIMAL PROTECTOR who vows to shelter his cherished submissive from harm.
Even if it means betraying his own dastardly brother in the process!!
We also gain more insight into Andrés’ tortured psyche, his tumultuous past and the depth of his all-consuming, obsessive love for his precious “cosita,” which infuses this capture fantasy with added emotional layers and gives this unlikely coupling even more rooting value! In many ways, Samantha and Andrés are kindred spirits whose shattered pieces fit together to make one perfectly imperfect whole.
And the heat level? OMG…PANTY MELTING HAWT! In fact, I was so enraptured during the BDSM training encounters that I was writhing in ecstasy and pulsating with want. And the soul deep emotional connection that’s forged between master and sub during their kinky interludes was equally enticing!
Although this is a re-telling, the story feels fresh because we are inside Andrés head, and I love how Ms. Sykes added some new sexy content which upped the titillation factor. Plus I thought the climax from the hero’s POV was even more chilling than in the original book, and the author penned a spellbinding epilogue which had me swooning in bliss!
BOTTOM LINE:
The mega talented Julia Sykes continues to CAPTIVATE with each and every dark romance she writes. CLAIMING MY SWEET CAPTIVE truly held my heart hostage from page one…and now I am chomping at the bit for Valentina’s story!
4.5 stars
This is one dark romance told from Andrés point of view and is not for the faint of heart. Andrés was disfigured by his brother Cristian and has been put to work taming the women that come into their world. Samantha is an FBI agent who is in Cristian’s clutches and being tortured to get information. When Samantha is not breaking, Cristian permits Andrés three weeks to make her more pliable. The issue is that Andrés really wants Samantha to learn to crave him, beg him to do what he does to her and trust him. Ms. Sykes has a way of crafting her characters so that they appear lifelike, capturing their thoughts and actions perfectly. This is one storyline filled with drama, passion, and a lot more. If you enjoy reading dark romances, then this is one that is not to be missed.
I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
loved getting inside of Andres every thought and how he predicted Samanthas every move and thought she was a very sassy determined innocent untouched woman. His training was the sexiest and although he seemed scary we got to see two different sides of him as he prepared Sam to submit in every way and what her training entailed in full detail and it just captures you there in that moment it seemed that real with all the feels. I loved these characters, so full of passion and truth. Fantastic writing it just takes your breathe away.
Capture/Terror/Defiance/Training/Control/Trust/Submission and MORE, so much MORE!
The words used by this author to create this exceptional story are enthralling, arousing and totally encompassing. It is like she was able to weave an erotic spell that the reader cannot help but become caught up in. It almost felt like was a voyeur, except I was not just observing, I was right there, FEELING—feeling all the emotions this talented author has been able to imbue in her characters. Ms. Sykes words created an erotic wonderland. She skillfully led me into a world of sensual seduction, a world where I have never been. And, I oh so much want to go there again.
