I met Sophie online—but we can never be together.Sophie has a family and a life of monotonous responsibility—there’s no time for her to become my little girl.But she never counted on one thing: A Daddy who wants control. A Daddy who always gets what he wants.A Daddy like me…
Wow Felicity Brandon has certainly fallen down the dark, dirty rabbit hole with this book!
Dark? Oh yes.
Dub-con? Most definitely!
Non-con? teetering on the edge because while my head says yes my heart says no, since Sophie quite enjoyed it.
Should you read it? Only if you love dark reads, perverted BDSM, forced consent and have pulled your big person pants up…..
Oh and it is the first book in a series, so it ends on a cliffie. A very soft, gentle cliffie that leaves you panting for more.
This isn’t a nice consensual story, Sophie didn’t invite Jared around for a cup of tea and offer him a bit on the side at the same time. The title contains the word ‘Captive’ for a good reason – Sophie is a victim of Jared’s warped logic. However not only is she trying to fight him, she’s having to fight her own body and desires. Oh and that is so evident and so well executed in the book.
I found myself really uncomfortable with many of the events, actions and reactions. Which is exactly how I like a dark romance to make me feel. There were times I wanted to shake Sophie, and I definitely needed to slap Jared (or possibly knee him in the balls). This book made me feel , which is exactly what a good book does.
I’m an impatient reader so, at times, I wanted to timeline to move forward at a faster pace. However that’s me and the reason it didn’t was because Ms Brandon was tormenting Sophie, and us, with scene after scene of dub-con, bondage, sexual torment, degradation, BDSM and Daddy Dom ‘play’. I loved that a good chunk of this was set (view spoiler). It made the whole situation even more twisted and dark. It violated her sanctuary and safe space.
I’m fairly certain book #2 isn’t too far away so thankfully I don’t have to wait to long to find out what happens next.
Oh my goodness what a read!! As the saying goes be careful what you wish for you might just get so much more then what you were wishing for. And Sophie she so got that. But I don’t know if I like the way Sophie and Jared relationship started but what I do know is that I hope she stays with him even with all the hardships they still might had to face. I so love when a author makes me hate and love the hero or more likely a antihero with all his dark side.
Wow this book took me on a roller coaster of emotions. I didn’t want to stop reading it until I finally crashed from exhaustion and then I devoured it again the next day. Felicity Brandon has a another winner in Daddy’s Little Captive. Everything about this book pulled me in, the characters, the storyline and the overall feel of the book. I found it sexy and dark and extremely compelling. I can’t wait to read more about Jared and Sophie and I can’t wait until the next book comes out. I’ve come to love and hate trilogies, I love for the story to not end and I hate waiting for the next book in the series.
Sophies life was her children and her husband ,but she was missing something.All she wanted was a little excitement something other than plain vanilla. When she strikes up a conversation with a man on line they hit it off and strike up an online friendship or thats what she thought. When she woke up this morning the last thing she seen coming was she would be held captive and whisked away from the only life she knew. Now she is his and he won’t let her go.This has a dark side to it and all you want to see is Sophie escape and make it back to her family.
This dark read had great character and plot development that kept me totally hypnotized as I turned each and every page of this must read book!
Now I can breath again…
What started out as a way to ventilator hidden dreams and desires, anonymouse at the internet (so she thought) turned into a real kidnapping. ”Charles” turned into a Jared who not just wanted to help her with her desires, but also wanted a little girl, calling him ”Daddy”. There’s just one problem (at least), she has children of her own that she needs to come back to.
What a
As usual the characters are so well described that you almost feel that you know them. Let’s just say that you have a lot of feelings – good and bad – about them.
I’m looking forward to follow this story.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
HOLY FREAK! That is the inner dialogue running on a continuous loop in my head. Over and over, while I sit here and try to collect my thoughts to write this review. I’m not sure where to even start…
I’m going to start by laying prostrate at Ms. Brandon’s feet and worshiping her like the Goddess she is. She has once again left me in total awe with her mastery over the art of storytelling. She is an absolute genius! She sucks the reader so deeply into the story that they forget where they end and where the characters begin. She pushes the boundaries like very few authors would even dare, and does it so beautifully. Even after finishing the book a few days ago I’m still twisted in knots when I think of this story. I am left feeling disturbed and restless. I’m not sure I’ll ever be the same again.
It’s not like any other DD/lg story I have read. I can usually see how the story will reach it’s HEA, but I’m not sure what the HEA in this one would be. I’m just as mixed up as Sophie and the emotions she’s dealing with. I think that is what makes this one seem so dark. It’s not just the typical dark themes, it’s the not knowing which choice will bring the most pleasure.
This is an extremely intense read. It’s DARK. Not just kind of dark, D-A-R-K dark. If you don’t love the dark then don’t pick this one up. However, if you love crossing that imaginary line of pleasure and pain, and you love walking on that edge of “can I finish this” and “should I walk away” then this one perfect. Perfect, perfect, perfect!
This is one of those books that takes one of your secret (or not so secret!) kinks and gives you something beautiful. Not only does the sex hit every last good spot, and the characters are marvelous, and there’s emotions and hotness… But you actually manage to feel less weird about something you enjoy. You get that reassurance that it’s delicious, and you’re not a freak, but you’re human. And you really get connected to these characters. I’m just blown away by the emotional aspect of this book! I couldn’t put it down once I started reading.
Daddy Dearest
What happens when you share your thoughts and desires with a stranger. Do they stay just fantasies, what if the other person falls so deep into them they act on them? Welcome to Sophie and Jareds story, dark, mesmerizing, scary, sometimes sweet and incredibly hot.
It’s so hard to know if Jared is infatuated, obsessed or just plain crazy. He runs on his own set of codes and Sophie will pay the price. There will be lust, love, loss, torn feelings, beginnings and endings. What a journey these two take. This DD/lg story is dark and delicious, but may have triggers.
This is a dark story with lots of dubcon. The main issue I had with this book is that Sophie has kids and a husband when she is abducted. I personally don’t like to read books were kids get abandoned. That being said if that doesn’t bother you, you’ll probably love the book. Sophie gets kidnapped by a man she was talking to online and he decided he wanted to be her daddy whether Sophie wants that or not. There’s lots of dubcon and steamy scenes throughout the book. It does end in a cliffhanger so I’m assuming there will be another book before any happy ending for these two.
This is not a sweet romance love story.
It is dark.
It is dub con.
It is intense.
It is gripping.
Sophie is a housewife and the mother of two small children.
She loves her husband and her kids.
She loves her life.
But she also feels something is missing.
Her sexual desires and wants are leaning more and more into the BDSM sphere.
She tries to talk to her husband,Jason,about her needs but he shuts her down right away.
Every time Sophie tries to have a real conversation about it he is disgusted and won’t even hear her out.
Sophie needs to let out her frustration somehow.
So she turns to on online site.
Where she feels her anonymity is safe and secure.
She tells of her wildest fantasies and the things she’d love done to her.
What she absolutely doesn’t bargain on is those fantasies coming to life.
Jared has been looking for his perfect little girl.
He stumbles on her through a BDSM website.
Jared wants Sophie.
And he’s set his mind on taking her.
Here starts a complicated intricate “relationship”.
The body and mind are a complex thing.
The mind knows right from wrong.
Yet the body knows what feels good.
Even when it’s wrong.
Sophie is torn in this way.
She knows it’s wrong she’s been taken.
She knows it’s wrong to feel good in the arms of a stranger.
But her body feels it’s right.
Her body is responding to the thrills and pleasures.
That her mind know are wrong.
She’s torn to pieces over being taken away from her kids and from the way her body is responding to Jared’s touch.
There is no mind over matter in her situation.
Jared is a bad man.
He is no hero.
He is no romantic man.
He’s taken what he wants without remorse.
He feels no guilt or shame.
I’m not sure if he’s a psychopath or a sociopath.
Both?
A combination of the two?
Again I’m not sure.
What I’m sure about is that Jared finds Sophie perfect for him.
He WILL NOT give her up.
And he doesn’t care if she misses her children.
As I was reading and the story got more twisted.
I thought what in the world is Ms. Brandon giving her readers.
Then the intensity had me on the edge of my seat.
I was so gripped by everything that was happening and unfolding.
And suddenly I got to the end and thought the author was pure genius.
She wrote the twists,the feelings and emotions in such a way I was absolutely enthralled.
Even knowing how wrong the whole situation is.
She even has been captivated to the crazed Jared.
Yeah waiting and wanting book 2 ASAP!
The realism in this story is what caught my attention first. I know what you might say, it’s a book about a man who holds a woman captive… not so realistic. But Sophie herself, and her marriage… her circumstances are realistic. As is the way she responds to the situation she finds herself in. Fantasy is awesome, that is why I read, but I really appreciate that this book has this level of realism as well. There are conflicts Sophie has to figure out are frankly uncomfortable. I’m thinking Ms. Brandon is the Queen of Dark, as well as Sticky Moral Situations. This story is dark and intense. Buckle up!
OMG! This book starts off by grabbing my attention and luring me into a sensual BDSM capture fantasy— Sophie’s fantasy. Who are these men? Why have they come? What will they do to Sophie? Will she find pleasure, pain or both? How will she react to being bound and powerless, to experiencing humiliation and degradation? Will she resist, or will she capitulate? This book is way more than a roller coaster ride; it is a tornado from which I may never recover!
Felicity Brandon is not just an ordinary author. Her exceptional writing, her twisted thought process, and the way she puts forth an idea is phenomenal. Not even one page into this story, and my heart was pounding, my breath was gasping, and my brain was both compelled and aghast at all the naughty possibilities.
If you enjoy dark romance, READ this story! You will not be sorry!
Wow, just wow. I’ve read dark and I’ve read twisted, now I can say I’ve read dark and twisted. This book had me turning the pages to see what was going to happen next…. and now…. I guess I just have to wait for the next.
Be warned, this is not a sweet love story, this is twisted, this is dark, this is like nothing I’ve read before, but if you like books like that, if you aren’t afraid to be shocked then this is a very well written story that will keep you pulled in to the very end and leave you wondering where it could possibly go next.
WOW and WOW!! Daddy Jared takes and does what he wants and it is absolutely delicious and memorizing your in his world now and it is dark and twisted almost devious but oh what fun, no take backs on that wish Sophie and i really do feel for her she is so conflicted on her true inner feelings.
The writing just flows and you are not able to put this down it is so different and unique and nothing like you suspect. I am hooked and need more of Daddy.
Ooooeeee. This novel is hotttt!!!! In a long-term marriage with Jason working all the time and xxxx taking care of the kids; xxx is fantasizing. She takes it to the next level and starts her internet research. Then she starts talking to Carl online! What could possibly be wrong with that????!!!! I needed a fan blowing on me most of the time!
HOLY WOW! Ms. Brandon AGAIN demonstrates she is one of the few truly outstanding writers of the DARK romance. For it takes someone of that high a writing skill to take a normally horrifying anti-H & cause the reader to ultimately love or at the very least be enthralled & mesmerized by him.
One of the things I find the most intriguing about her writing is how smoothly it flows, it has substance to entice & satisfy a reader without any fluff or padding of any kind. And the way she controls the reader’s perspective, emotions & focus (at least THIS reader) with her light deft touch that nevertheless pulls you deep, deep, deeper into the lives & situations of her characters. STELLAR!
The basic premise of this DD/lg story may upset some readers, but that is the heart of this book, Sophie Bannister’s (heroine/a wife & mother) internal struggle fighting 2 completely different sides of herself: one side is what society as a whole expects, & indeed what Sophie expects of herself while her other side, the dark & unsatisfied side, is the antithesis of what she’s been to this point. And she (at least in this book) is stuck ricocheting from one side to the other in addition to trying to hang on to her sanity, & maybe even her life.
Ms. Brandon gives the reader both Jared & Sophie’s POVs, allowing the reader access to Sophie’s terror, lust, fears, desires, guilt & excitement. Her deep self-loathing even as she guiltily acknowledges her body’s responses to her darkest wants. Her helplessness even as she fights not to lose herself in Jared’s depraved fantasy.
And Jared (Daddy), oh my, Jared. Gorgeous, muscled, intense, frightening, DOMINANT & completely focused on Sophie (Little Girl). Is he crazy? Depraved? Truly in love with Sophie? Or? The reader is also privy to Jared’s thoughts. To know how he planned, hoped, worked for his fantasy, WANTED his own Little Girl to love, care for, punish. But Sophie comes with baggage he never allowed for, thought of, & that baggage is a stark challenge to his dream fantasy. We feel his glee, his LUST, his need, his complete obsession with Sophie. His bone deep determination & rabid intention to keep her as his. FOREVER . . . .
This book is one wonderfully insane, twisted, dark, depraved AWESOME read.
For the reader who IS NOT afraid of the DARK, to plunge deep into a horrifying but compelling, fascinating & superbly written story, this is IT!
STELLAR & I looooved every page of it & cannot wait for book #2!
I’m sitting here, after finishing this story, kind of stunned. Truly, I’m not exaggerating. What the holy heck did I just read? It’s so different, so unique, and such dark, naughty fun. I’m quite simply blown away.
This is not a sweet story… if ya don’t like the dark, don’t even think to walk in this world. But, if you’re like me, and you’re attracted to the sometimes trippy journey down the rabbit hole, then this is the story for you. Gah, it was delicious in its audacity! The willingness of this author to actually tackle this type of fantasy is inspiring. And she did it so very well….
Oh Sophie, be careful what you wish for; someone like Jared might actually show up. Like I said, delicious.
Felicity Brandon in one of my go-to authors. She puts out a book, I buy it. And she never lets me down. This is another success to add to her already long list. Highly recommended.
This book took me by surprise! Ms. Brandon is a go to author for me and her books always take me to that dark place in my brain that I don’t normally go. Daddy’s Little Captive really shook me but in a good way. Yes, it’s dark…..yes, it’s twisted but as I read the emotions coming from Sophie were just overwhelming. I can’t say certain things I want to because I’m afraid it would give the story away a wee bit but just know that I totally could NOT put this book down!!! Seriously, you need to get this book.
Wow!!! Felicity Brandon has taken her readers once again on a journey into the forbidden world of dark desires as only she can. You will be blown away and stunned by this steamy, racy story that is edgy and daring. Bored housewife Sophie is tired of being unwanted by her husband and wants to be more adventurous in her marriage. Sophie has no idea that by joining a BDSM website, her dreams and fantasies will begin her journey into this world she craves. When her husband hires a cleaning crew to their home, little does Sophie realize that the three men that show up, one is the man she was chatting with and is privey to all of her wants and needs and soon discovers her life is going to change forever. Jared begins Sophie’s education into the lifestyle as a little, and soon learns that she needs to call him Daddy but this is not a one time experience, she soon discovers he wants to keep her and takes her away from everyone she loves. Will she be his captive forever? Will she ever see her family again? Felicity Brandon never fails to deliver and with Daddy’s Little Captive she has done it again. This is a must read, one that I highly recommend! I voluntairly reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
