She is starting over and he is hiding out………..can they have a future together?
His Hostage is a wonderfully dark and delicious story that is full of rich and naughty things. There is a lot of action, adventure, drama, suspense, pain, violence, anger, deceit, vengeance, death, love, romance and of course a whole lot of hot, steamy and sexy lust.
Caroline is starting over in New Mexico after divorcing her abusive husband and leaving it all behind in Pennsylvania. All she is a peaceful, quiet and fulfilling life.
Rowan is a biker who is in hiding from both the law and another MC, both of which will not end well for him if they find him. But he is more than interested in the beautiful woman that has moved into the house next door to him. For Caroline her neighbor is a sexy bad boy that is more than annoying to her. But he is delicious looking and good enough to eat. When they finally start actually talking things change quickly between them with some funny and quirky moments added into the sexiness that is palpable as you read.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
An action packed book with two characters that are so opposite to each other that their relationship shouldnt have happened……but it did….with extreme consequences
Rowan is the bad boy outlaw biker in hiding and Caroline is uptight and recently divorced….
I really enjoyed the book as it was filled with suspense, action, drama and amidst it all a steamy romance blossomed.

Caroline came to the desert to escape while she waits for her divorce from her horrible husband to be finalized. She hasn’t ever had it easy, growing up with a gambling addict for a father that likes to beat her mother and verbally abuse her. Caroline thought it would be different when she married, but it wasn’t. Now she is out in the middle of nowhere trying to center herself, but there is one problem. Her handsome neighbor that tries to talk to her every time she comes out. She is done with men that are bad for her and she knows her neighbor would be horrible – she has to stay away.
Rowan is on the run, isolating himself until things cool down. He can’t have his enemies find him, if they do he’s dead. He should be concentrating on a plan to get back to his brothers…his MC. But the gorgeous woman next door has him distracted and his attraction to her just keeps growing. He knows he should stay away and keep to himself, he knows she is too good for him and he would ruin her. But he just can’t.
All it takes is one night of exploding passion and the two of them know there isn’t any turning back. But when Rowan’s enemies show up on his doorstep, will he be able to save himself and his Carolina peach or will their relationship come to a dead stop before it has a chance to begin?
This is my first read by Penelope and I am in love with her writing! She kept me on the edge of my seat thru out the entirety of this book. I loved seeing Caroline going from a broken female to a warrior princess, her growth thru the story was insane and Rowan was just as incredible! There isn’t a slow point in this read at all, Penelope kept me enthralled and wanting to know what happened next. There is quite a bit of violence, so if it is a trigger please tread lightly. But if you are looking for an intensely hot and action packed read where the two characters get their well deserved happy ending that they had to fight tooth and nail for – this is definitely it! Penelope has gained another faithful reader because of this one and I can’t wait to dive into another one of her works

Caroline&; Rowan are neighbors, caroline just got out of abusive marriage, rowan just got away, they met and the chemistry is hard to deny, one day caroline sees something she shouldnt have and her world is turned upside down. What happens next is kidnapping,fighting, betrayal revenge, and love. Great storyline highly recommend it

This was a good read. This was my first time reading a book by author Penelope Woods but it won’t be my last. Caroline has just moved from Pennsylvania to New Mexico for a new start. Just getting out of a horrendous marriage, she is just looking some peace and quiet. Then there is her neighbor, Rowan, who will not stop being neighborly. Rowan is all tattooed up, has a muscular body, and almost never wears a shirt. Rowan is a bad dude. Caroline just doesn’t know how bad. Before you know it, Caroline is caught up in Rowan’s shenanigans and has seen too much. He doesn’t kill her but does the next best thing…take her hostage.
This was a fun read. I didnt see most of that coming at me, and it was a fun, crazy adventure.
It has some gore, some wickedness, and two souls who survived it all and get their HEA.

To be honest I am not normally in support of this type. But I want ahead and got this because I know the author and I like their work. I loved how descriptive everything was and was sucked into the storyline. And the book took me on a roller coaster of emotions, and to be honest any good book writer should be able to do this so this author shows that she is able to grab and keep your interest
Mystery, intrigue, suspense, and romance all help to make this a good book. Caroline is recently divorced and she lives next door to Rowan. Caroline sees something she shouldn’t about Rowan. His associates don’t like that and they want to do something about it. Rowan has different ideas in mind. Good characters and plotline. The story flows smoothly. The book gets off to a slow start but it’s pretty good.

Caroline has just gotten out of an abusive marriage. She decides she wants a desert vacation. She wants peace and quiet. What she gets is far from that.
Rowan is her neighbor and he’s hiding because of a bad deal. He tries to talk to her every morning when she comes back from her run. She eventually gives in and thing ignite from there.
Their chemistry is off the hook. But Rowan’s past catches up to him quicker than he thought. And things get really crazy from there. I love the creativity in times of war.
You’ve got Caroline as a hostage, war between MC groups, death, sex and change. Things get real heated in the bedroom (or wherever) as well as in the desert.
Will they survive this war unscathed ? Will she leave him once her vacation is done ? Can they trust each other ?

I have read all of Penelope’s books, and sincerely believe this is her best so far. As soon as I received my copy earlier today, I started reading. The storyline and the intensity between Caroline and Rowan immediately captured my attention. I couldn’t put the book down until I knew how it was going to end. I felt as if I too was “His Hostage”.
