King's Capture: A Dark Captive Billionaire Romance (Lyon Dynasty World Book 1) Kindle Edition
Persephone is a lovely little raven-haired art forger.
Model-good looks. Innocent hazel eyes. Curves that would tempt the devil himself.
She’s going to make a deal with me... even if that deal is made after I kidnap her and threaten her life.
My manner with Penny is brusque, brutal, and demanding. But her body beckons me like a siren’s call.
She’s shell shocked and afraid of what I might do to her.
My only fear is that once I touch her, I may not be able to stop...

Overall, I enjoyed Wood's retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, though this retelling is definitely very loosely based on the original myth. In this retelling, Hades is more like hired muscled, an enforcer even though people often view him as the default leader. He, however, did not come off as the big scary guy I think he was supposed to be. Persephone repeatedly remarked that Hades was the villain, then immediately followed those thoughts by saying she trusted him or had feelings for him. Hades' backstory and career seemed like it was supposed to make him come across as terrifying, yet even his own internal dialogue made him seem besotted quite early on with Persephone - at odds with how big and bad he was supposed to be. I love a good Hades and Persephone retelling, and I love Hades portrayed as both the tough god and the secret softie, but this Hades seemed like he wasn't really sure which one he actually was.
I thought Wood's version of Persephone was interesting; she was quiet, delicate, yet possessed remarkable skills in forgery - definitely not in line with the feminine goddess of spring that we usually see. Such skills made Persephone a great match for Hades, and I actually really liked that Wood gave Persephone something so unique that was completely hers.
I liked the plot of King's Capture, and I liked Hades and Persephone as characters. I didn't absolutely love them together, as they seemed to go against their very nature when they were around each other, but I'm hoping that means there will be lots of new character development in the next book and they will become more of a unit rather than two individuals who hate that they love each other.
As the action was just getting started at the end of King's Capture, I can't wait to read the next book and see what happens next between Hades and Persephone.
Her writing as gone from strength to strength, and with this book, KING’S CAPTURE, she has completely blown me out of the water in so many ways with this addictive and fast paced read. It kept me captivated right through to it’s cliff-hanger ending. No squawking from me to be had though!!! I might hate cliff-hangers with the blistering passion of a thousand suns, but it’s only a short-ish wait until the second book, QUEEN’S SACRIFICE is released, and there was no way I could wait until then to read this first book in the duet just so I could read them together.
It’s like Ms Woods has read my mind and written Hades as the perfect hero complete with his Scottish lilt and dangerous attitude. It is the late and long sexy screen legend, Sean Connery who I hear in my mind while reading Hades words. Anything less for me, is not acceptable. Gruff and rough, yet still a protector even as he’s been conditioned to detest and exploit weakness. He carries his own scars and they are his private secret perpetrated upon him when he was a young child. Never again. Weakness was not tolerated and was to be exploited in others. Weak links that get in the way of plans that him and his brothers have were swiftly and emotionlessly disposed of.
By the same token, what I love the most about him was his intolerance for bullies. It was that moment in the book, and you will know when you get there, that I absolutely and unreservedly fell in love with him. It didn’t immediately endear Penny to him in any way, but that is what Ms Wood did beautifully. Penny didn’t magically fall at his feet. She questioned her own sanity before she admitted her admiration for him, and I believe that this balance was perfectly captured by Ms Wood. There was no questioning of Penny’s motives for her change of heart – it happened because her enigmatic captor did have a softer side that he endeavoured to keep under control and because he simply just attracted her in a dangerous way that was different to their common enemy.
That cliff-hanger though!!! I am bereft that I feel I’ve reached the end of this book so quickly!!! Seriously, I cannot wait until I can lay my hands on the next one. 5 Stars – this book kept me up way too late and it’s one that I easily recommend to all and sundry!!!❤🔥❤
