Vincent saved Elle in more ways than one. Her life was hard, focusing all her energy on studying and supporting her ungrateful drunk of a mother both financially and though trying to get her sober. It was a herculean task and one that was drowning her.
As soon as Vincent saw her, he wanted her and he instantly felt compelled to save her and have her as his own. He had her trying out new desires she didn’t know she had and standing up for herself.
I enjoyed this book and read it quickly as I had to know how it ended.
Elle and Vince meet, the chemistry is mind blowing, he can’t have her fast enough. They end up in a back office of the restaurant where they met just moments ago. However when Elle is leaving she sees something she shouldn’t have, can Vince save her from his own family? I lived this book! Vince is so intense and sexy. I was hooked from beginning to end!
Awesome series a must read
O.M.G. Vince and Elle were amazing. Willow had done it again. The way she depicts her characters and stories are outstanding. I loved everything about His Hostage. Definitely worth it.
His Hostage is a story that will hold you captive from start to finish. It is dark, gritty, so so steamy but ultimately it is a love story like no other. Vince and his Sweetheart Elle will have you on a roller coaster as you take the journey with them to discover that even though their relationship started off oh so wrong, it might just be more than right.
Elle had to transfer schools to move back home with her alcoholic mom. She is so fed up with having to bail her mom out from her bad decisions. She leaves the house and enters a restaurant looking for somewhere to study. It isn’t long before tall, dark, and sexy slides into the booth. His smooth talking gets her into the office in back where a little fun ensues until that is she tries to leave hastily. On her quest to exit through a “back” door not to be seen by everyone she opens the wrong door and sees things she shouldn’t. Protocol is no witnesses.
Vince grabs her a moment to late. How does he fix this, he really screwed up, he should have never done this here. Pops is not going to be happy and it doesn’t look good with Vince being the underboss. In an attempt to “erase” her memory, they give Elle roofies. When she wakes she recognizes Vince so they know it didn’t work but Vince can’t let Anthony kill her so he takes her to the safe house. There he gives her a second dose.
Elle is sure he is going to try to kill her. She tries to figure out a way to escape to no avail. Finally Vince lets her return keeping one of her school books so that she has to come pick it up at Pops during Sunday dinner. This will tell him if she remembers anything. Sure enough, Anthony is able to trigger her memory. Vince takes her back to the safe house. He won’t let them kill her.
He finally comes up with a plan, knock her up and marry her. If she is his and carrying his baby no one will touch her. Elle struggles with trusting him but they make progress moving to his house. Eventually she is making herself at home and he takes her out to dinner with the familia. They are attacked at Becca’s (Vince’s sister-in-law) restaurant. During that time, Elle is taken in by two undercover cops. Vince is taken in after a shootout with the attackers. However, what the cop says Elle told them lets Vince know they are bluffing. All is well until Vince leaves Elle home while he goes out to work and she is kidnapped.
OMG I thought Dirty Dom was good, willow winters step it up in this book, vince fell for Ellie he fell hard from the moment he say her, plus also loved extended Epilogue which I received from willow winters, high recommend
