What a story! Violet’s family is having a hard time & Devlin steps into help them out. Violet wants Devlin but he is going to push her & control her. Can she go along with what he wants? How far is she willing to go to help her father? The chemistry was hot between them. Devlin does run hot & cold towards her. She doesn’t know how much she is willing to give either. I loved the story that was created & can’t wait to read more of their story.
I really liked the story left me on edge a few times but was really goo mad when it ended now have to wait until the next book come out
The story starts off with 16 year old Violet and a much older Devlin. Devlin has volunteered to take Violet to her prom since her date “had an accident” and just couldn’t take her anymore. Devlin was at one point a family friend/business associate but that was no longer the case. Her father forbid her from seeing him. Two years later on Violets 18th birthday her life gets turned upside down and has nowhere to go. This is where our guy Devlin aka Devil comes in. He offers her refuge but at a price. The book is hot, steamy and definitely should not be read in public. It does end in a cliffhanger as it’s the first book in a series. I have a feeling this is going to end totally different than I imagine as all of her amazing books. Must read!!

On the fence by the end
Devil’s Captive is the first book in the Fallen Dynasty series by Kelli Callahan and Isabella Starling. As I have not read any books by this duo of author’s before I was not sure what to expect but I found the book description interesting and thought it could be a fascinating story. The book is about Devlin Windsor and Violet Cabot who at one time were friends but then things went wrong and now the families are enemies. When the her father is arrested and all of the Cabot’s assets are frozen it is Devlin Windsor who offers a deal but with a heavy price…………….Violet. She will have to become his possession to do with what he wants and when he wants. She will do what it takes to save her family and that includes giving herself to Devlin.
While I thought the story-line was interesting it did not have as much depth as I thought it should have. I was left on the fence by the end, which also ends in a cliffhanger. I will have to wait until the next book to see where the story goes and then figure out if I like, love or hate this series.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
2.5
Mixed feelings about this one.
It was a quick read that ends with a sudden cliffhanger. I didn’t know it was a first in a series, don’t think there was a note about it while requesting an advanced copy.
While I liked the storyline, I wasn’t really a fan of main characters. Violet was too immature and childish and seriously missing backbone. Also, both her and Devlin were just too inconsistent with their actions and inner monologues. Talk about running hot and cold from one sentence to the next! They both need more character development.
I might check the next book in this series to see if it gets better.

Will Violet fall under Devlin’s control?
I read this book in one sitting as it was just that good and I am anxiously waiting for the next installment to come out with the cliffhanger ending! The dynamics between Devlin and Violet goes from hot to cold on a flip of the coin, so you’ll be wondering which way it will go next. The plot twists with their families will have you wondering who really is the bad guy? I will be looking for the release of Devil’s Toy to see how it all ends!
A good read.
I loved how the story started out before Devlin got his way with Violet, I really enjoyed the flashbacks of them and getting to know what happened before Violet signed the contract.
I enjoyed getting to know Devlin. I loved his whole character including his dominant and demanding side as well as the sweet and tender side he only let out at times Violet. Violet, on the other hand, I felt she was really naive and gave in way too quickly. Though I did enjoy the stubborn side that came out when she was with Devlin later in the book.
I did feel like there were some parts that were skipped over every now and then but I’d love to get to know more about these two and the mysterious stranger towards the end, I can’t wait to see what happens next.
3.5 stars

Fantastic story.
OMG!! This story is amazing I couldn’t put it down. I loved these characters, well I still love Violet but the wonderful caring Devlin who wanted 16yr old Violet has now turned into this hateful, cruel, evil devil. After her dad has been arrested leaving her with nothing but the clothes on her back she was left with no choice but to sell her body & soul to the man who used to have her heart if she wanted her dad freed from prison but he is going to make her suffer for it. Devlin has got me so wound up I can’t believe I’ve got to wait for the next book after the cliffhanger they’ve left us on.

Devil’s Captive has the beginnings of a twisted power play between two elie families. The characters Delvin Windsor and Violet Cabot have yet to be fully exposed. Their families have fallen out of favour and seemingly out for one another at the expense of a recently turned 18 year old virgin.
There are many aspects that keep you reading wanting more.
They were once childhood friends now Devlin has turned Violet’s life into his play thing. What his plans are are no ot clear, however somehow Violet seems to be the key.
