My college roommate is the worst. Cecile steals my food, brings guys over at all hours, and parties instead of studying. But those quirks pale in comparison to what she does next. She drugs me, and I wake up imprisoned in an alternate universe full of terrifying creatures. Now, the biggest and scariest creature of all--a fae king--believes I'm his mate. He's freed me from the dungeon but keeps me close. So close, in fact, that I'm beginning to like his wintery gaze and ice-chiseled body. But secrets and villains lurk throughout this new world, and I don't know if I'll survive long enough to figure out how to get back home.
Author's Note: Fae's Captive is the first book in a series that will set your imagination--and other parts of you--on fire. Mind the cliff, but book 2 is already out.

Interesting read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 27, 2022

Verified Purchase

I feel like this book could have been longer. Instead of making multiple short stories, just make 1 large book. Aside from that, this book was amazing. I loved the story and characters so far. The storyline is interesting and I'm eager to read the next books in the series.

Author has a special talent for drawing in their reader. I was immersed all the way off the cliffhanger end. Good thing the series is already released! Yippee!

Fears Captive is a great story so far. It would have gotten five stars if it wasn't split into many small books.

Nice!

Don't trust your roommate when she gives you a water bottle! %-/ Taylor's just a college student trying to get her degree, doesn't party, and works her tail off to stay on track. Then her roommate offers her cash for being her DD. Boy, she was right not to trust her. She wakes up on a different realm where she's a slave/servant and is being abused. Then Leander is thew new king of the Winter realm and "scents" his mate! Short story to the end, Taylor is not having it and wants to go home. So much fun and what an adventure! On to the next! #HappyReading ♥

Surprisingly good. Short, definitely a hook, but good.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 22, 2019

Yes, it's sort of "just a teaser", but if you don't know by now that this is exactly how modern short-format smut-writers make their money, then you obviously haven't looked into it. That's exactly how the format works (and I've read "How-To" books by these authors, so I know the "big secret"): You write something to hook the reader and offer it cheap-- then you raise the price for each new chapter now that they're dying to read it. Sounds underhanded, but when you add it all up, $10-$15 is how much you'd pay for a paperback book these days. It's not an obscene price to pay.

And I admit, I took the bait, thinking a little $.99 piece of fluff would distract me for half an hour and then I'd go on with my life. I wasn't actually expecting to *like* it. Lots of smutty fantasy romance is written so poorly these days that you're better off going to Archive Of Our Own and just reading sexy fanfiction that is *WAY* better-written. This, though, was a pleasant surprise. Taylor acts more like an actual *person* than most of the empty, doltish heroines you see in so much casual wish-fulfillment fiction; she reacts pretty naturally to a bizarre, impossible, life-changing situation, but is neither too disbelieving nor too casually accepting. She isn't a "blank slate" character without personality or will, and thank gods, she isn't *annoying*.
I disliked the back-and-forth first-person-POV alternating chapters at first-- I hate first-person, but it's what just about every "urban fantasy" author these days feels compelled to write in-- and I especially hate the "bouncing back and forth between two characters' perspectives by chapter" format, but when your only reading choice is "first-person POV" anyway, it's the closest you can get to seeing things in third-person omniscient (so that you basically get to know the characters from their own thoughts on the inside *and* from other characters observing and reacting to them). I got used to the Taylor-then-Leander-then-Taylor-POV format surprisingly fast; maybe I'm just more forgiving these days.
Anyway, it was so surprisingly good that it did its job admirably; when I was done reading this, I went straight back to buy parts two, three, and four. I'm a sucker, but if the writing stays good, the plot stays interesting, and the smut turns out to be hot, I probably won't regret it.

It's short and ends on a cliffhanger, but sooo good.

This short book has been something I have been looking to read for quite some time. I love how the beginning isn't drawn out too long, and she find herself in the fae lands before she knows it. I can't wait to explore more of the realm in the next book.

Entertaining But The Writing Needs Work

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 27, 2021

Verified Purchase

So I've read the first three books and came back to the first one to review to give anyone wondering whether or not to read this an idea of what they're getting into.

For starters, based on other reviews, I didn't start this thinking it was going to be an amazing, in depth fantasy romance book, and it certainly isn't, but I didn't think it would be as lacking as it is either, which has prompted my review.

I like the characters and the world so far has a lot of potential and I am entertained. However, the writing leaves much to be desired. The pacing is awful and there are often time/scene jumps with no actual transition. The world-building has a lot of potential, but feels like more of a slight expansion of an outline the author had instead of really trying to delve into the world. Places and settings in the book feel like incomplete jigsaw puzzles. Again, the potential is there, but the author doesn't seem to try very hard to really expand it. It feels more like reading a first rough draft than an actual, published book. The biggest issue I'm having so far is the dialogue. Not the actual words, but who is saying what. I've had to re-read several conversations to figure out who is saying what because the author gives no indication beyond a line break, and even then it can still be confusing especially when multiple characters are conversing. Some advice from someone with an English degree: do not be afraid to use "he said, she said," or "(insert name here) said," to indicate to the reader who is speaking. We are so used to this as readers that it basically functions the same as punctuation. It doesn't take readers out of the story as much as some authors think it does. What does take readers out of the story is when we can't figure out who is saying what and to whom. And yes, this does end on a serious cliffhanger (so far all three do) in order to get you to buy the next book which I think is ridiculous. It would have worked much better just to write it all as one novel. It feels like a money grab otherwise.

Basically, the book is entertaining for a quick read, but the writing needs a lot of work.

Not a full book! This is an installment only.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

I so like the story. Great imagination, reads smoothly, hot almost-sex scenes.
For me, unfortunately, the book falls short on - well - its shortness. It is one of these books where you get a hook-book, which ends on a cliff-hanger. And it is a serious cliff-hanger. The next book in the series is triple the price of the first one but even shorter!
I don't like this concept of ripping off readers. Write a whole book for God's sake, but don't sell itsybitsy installments at extortionate price.
It alienates readers.
I will definitely not buy the 2nd installment.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

Got off to a promising start, but I did not realise that the tale that began in this book was just the beginning, of which the middle and end were in Books 1 & 2! What a con to extract triple the cost of a book. I did buy Book 2, but it descended into the realms of soft porn, of which I am not a fan, so I abandoned the story at 47% into it. I won't be buying Book 3 .

Only one flaw

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

It isn't finished. The book cuts off, not on a cliff hanger but mid action scene. In the story arc, I'd say I had just got to the rising action. So still a way to go. This arc isn't finished. And not in a, the book is really long and we need to split it up way, as I read this in 2 hours.
The writing is fantastic, the world vivid thanks to excellent world building, the creatures designed fit right along with ones of the old tales. It is gripping and I really do want to know what happens to Taylor, what happens to Leander but I think this should be part of the next book. I have purchased the next one however since I was enjoying it and hate to leave a story unfinished but this one has a lot of building to do before we get anywhere near a climax.

Very enjoyable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 14, 2022

Verified Purchase

I really do like this story, although I wouldn't really call it a novel as it's so short!! Just as you're teeth are embedded in the tale, the book ends!! But it is enjoyable and does keep you turning the metaphorical page. But it's just as it's really getting interesting that it's done!! Why end it at this point when more could have been told, instead the author thought this a good place to end and I really don't think it is. I actually think that if my surmise is correct, both books one and two together may have been a better way to go. However, until I've read the next book I won't know for sure, so we'll see!!

Lost For Words

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 15, 2019

Just finished reading this book and i have never had a book play on my mind like this one. The storyline is fantastic and it just makes me want to read more. However i got confused in parts of the book over who was from where and different terminology. This is the first book of this kind i have read and also by this author. I am a bit disappointed over the length of the book but I will be buying the next book to see what happens. This would have been better as a full length story in one book.
