But four Vakarrans decided they wanted me, and Vakarrans don't ask for what they want, they take it.

Story
On the run from ruthless killers, I’m down to 10 bucks in my wallet and a half-tank of gas in my ancient car when I spot the ad for a live-in tutor. The job sounds like the answer to my prayers, but there’s a catch. The child’s father is the most beautiful, most dangerous man I’ve ever met. Darkly seductive and filthy rich, Nikolai Molotov is a tantalizing mystery, a lethally alluring contradiction. Bruised knuckles and tailored suits, tender endearments and dirty promises - my new employer draws me in like a magnet, even as my instincts scream for me to run.

Dark raven hair and piercing green eyes, sweet and naive Eleanor Romero would make a beautiful bride. Ten million dollars and a forced signature later and she was mine. Like a thief I came in the dead of night and stole her away from her protected castle and placed her in a gilded cage made of gold. The deal had been made. She would become my wife. She would bear my children. She would bend to my will. But most importantly, she would help me destroy the man she loved most, the man who took everything from me: her father.

Taking her is my right. Breaking her, my duty. I was always going to choose Helena. I knew it the instant I saw her. She’s different than the others. There’s a darkness about her. Something wild inside her. And it calls to the beast inside me. But she isn’t what I expected. With every word and every touch, she pushes me, burrowing deep under my skin, challenging the rules, and upending history. And all the while, I see how my brother watches her. He wants her, and as the rules stand, she’ll become his in one year’s time. Except that I have no intention of giving her up.

The deal is simple: spend a month with a mysterious billionaire who is the owner of Louisiana’s La Petite Mort Casino, and he’ll forget my father’s gambling debts. If it means saving our family home and business, I’ll do anything. With his strong, sexy, take charge arrogance, Nicolas Dupont is a mystery to me. But it doesn’t matter how hot he is. This is purely a business arrangement. Nic can have any woman he wants and it makes no sense that he'd be interested in a virgin like me. I’m certainly not about to fall for a guy who thinks he can own me.

Thousands of years ago, I fell from heaven to love a human woman. I willingly gave up my wings; shunned my place in heaven because she was all I needed. Then I lost everything. Forced to live on inside the body of a vampire, I searched for her, knowing she'd return to me in another life. But I finally gave up hope of finding my love, as so many of my fallen brothers had also done. I went dormant; gave over control to my vampire host, Galen - until Reese woke me, and my search began again. But heaven and hell are on the edge of war, and I'm the only one who can stop it.

He seethes with raw power the first time I see him - pure menace and rippling muscles in shackles. He's dangerous. He's wild. He's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. So, I hide behind my prim glasses and my book like I always do, because I have secrets, too. Then, he shows up in the prison writing class I have to teach, and he blows me away with his honesty. He tells me secrets in his stories, and it's getting harder to hide mine. I shiver when he gets too close, with only the cuffs and the bars and the guards holding him back.

She thought this was a game. She thought she could walk away. She thought wrong. I've lived a cold, unforgiving life. I've seen things, I've done things, that would break a man. If they didn't kill him first. With my past behind me, I have nothing. No way to atone for my sins and nothing to lift me from the depths of despair I've come from. And no one to give me the control that I so desperately desire.

Summary
I don't like to be touched. I'm the hacker-geek-goddess of the FBI. When I'm hiding behind my screen, I'm a safe distance from everyone; isolated, powerful. No man has ever touched me, but when I'm captured by Colombian drug lord Andrés Moreno, I no longer have the right to refuse. He's scarred and scary, and his cruel brother Cristian has tasked him with breaking me. I try to fight, but I can't escape his strong arms and harsh discipline. He demands that I accept his touch, and my virgin body can't help but respond to his masterful manipulations.
The longer I remain trapped with him, the more I come to suspect that I'm not the only captive in his brother's home. Andrés' scars go deeper than the wicked furrows carved into his flesh, his pain reflected in the dark demands he imposes upon me. His obsession is twisted and wrong, but maybe I'm twisted, too.
Do I want to be rescued from him? Or is he the one who truly needs saving?

Not that dark but still a good story
I enjoyed the book. However, I didn’t find it very dark at all. Sam may have been abducted but she was never really tortured and everything that happened was kind of with consent, It’s more like a BDSM training instead of real dark romance. I enjoyed it as it was somewhat like 50 shades on steroids but it really lacked darkness.
The narrator was good but her male voices were lacking and her Latino accent was not good at all.

Nonsense
This was a load of rubbish. The heroine was just really un-likeable and the story line was complete nonsense. Narrator had a really weird inflection to her voice. It could have been so much more. I have no problems with the writing style it just needed a bit more depth for me. Someone else might love this book.

this book is in the female POV
this book is from the female POV and is narrated by Lucy Rivers who does a great job. (It's the second book (claiming my sweet captive that is narrated by Joe Arden, its the same story but from the male characters POV. I found it really helpful to listen to this book also as it helped to understand where his head space was at).
there's not a great deal of story to this book. An FBI agent is held captive and trained to become her captors sex slave with a hint of romance and a few elements of BDSM that some people may find uncomfortable to listen to, I found it a bit uncomfortable in this book but less so in the second once the understanding behind it was made clearer. however it may be triggering for some as most of her consent is forced in one way or another.

So having read a review that basically slated this book I was nervous to do a review however here goes. Joe Arden where were you ? The female voice actor did slip every now and again but otherwise ok.
The story line initially I was concerned it would become full blown Stockholm syndrome and the female character would be a victim however pleasantly surprised by how after everything she had been through she came out the other side stronger and knew exactly what she wanted.
Will I be reading the rest of the series more than likely.

Dissapointing
I hate stories about women who are supposedly smart but equally dumb. I like a good captor and prisoner story but not when the prisoner gives into sexual satisfaction in 1 day. Sexual release does not cloud ones judgement that much that quickly. It's absurd. I understand the woman maybe being forced to experience pleasure but that should in no way impede her judgement. This was not good, sorry.

Really enjoyed Sweet Captivity
This was a HEA captive story. Please be aware of that before you read. Andres was such a "good" captor. I don't want to give any spoilers, but you really felt for him and are really happy they get their HEA! My issue with the book, is that Joe Arden is listed as a duet narrator and HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A SINGLE WORD IN THE ENTIRE BOOK. I prefer duet stories so that along with it being Joe made me get the book. He needs to be removed from the book, very misleading.

Where was joe
I listened to the entire thing all the way to the end and I never heard Joe Arden not even once! There was no preview for the next book on my audio version. I’m highly disappointed.
Now for the book, I’m not really sure how to describe my feelings. I like Lucy but absolutely hated her voice for Andres. It was not very good. I am Hispanic so I can say that her “Columbian accent” was crappy. It was distracting. I hate that I have to buy a separate book to hear the male POV. I’m not convinced on the validity of this book. I read the first book and absolutely loved it. Stealing beauty was a complete story that made sense. This book felt unbelievable in a bad way. Not worth my credit

I was disappointed that Joe Arden didn't read until bonus feature at the end. Aside from that, this had a lot of sex and BDSM and little to no story line. If you are looking for a nice romance story, this isn't it.

This book has a lot of hot sex scenes and the story is good. I do wish the author had made the story longer and had more action scenes with Samantha and andres brother present. I also wished the author showed more of Samantha’s skill set. All in all if you are looking for a hot romance this book is it!

Wildly Inconsistent.
The book is anything but stable in several areas. The lead heroine is weak and utterly unbelievable in ‘acts’ I & I. She becomes a somewhat good character in Act III but is still unbelievable. The plot is bare thread and just enough to move the story along. Although I listened to the entire book, I wish I hadn’t. I’d pass on this book; there are better out there.

NOT sweet. VERY dark.
SWEET CAPTIVITY is a full length novel told entirely from the heroine’s point of view and narrated by Lucy Rivers. CLAIMING MY SWEET CAPTIVE is now available separately on Audible and told entirely from the hero, Andres’, point of view narrated by Joe Arden.
SWEET CAPTIVITY made me uncomfortable. There is nothing sweet about it. The heroine, Sam, is a newbie FBI Field Agent (but has been in the FBI for some time prior as a “hacker geek” agent). She is kidnapped and subjected to terror and sexual initiation at the hands of a Colombian criminal, Andres. She is leashed, and sexually objectified and humiliated. I did not like any sex element of the story.
Narrator Lucy Rivers is wonderful. She performs all the voices including the Colombian criminal brothers, one of whom is Andres. I thought her accents and voice characterisations were great. But I was torn. The way she spoke was erotic, but at the same time, my skin crawled because of this: I just can’t connect with the Stockholm Syndrome-style ‘love’ story as it is fundamentally not love to me, but a psychological survival mechanism. It’s a style of story I’ll avoid in future. Way too dark for me. However, I know other readers love this style of story.
If you like the mind-twisting darkness of such stories, you will love this. There is a twist to this story which should have made me sympathise with Andres more, but by the time the information was revealed I was past caring for him. I think the information should have come sooner. More forgiving readers will see Andres as a tortured, protective and loving hero. And compared to his sadistic brother, he is. I just could not find this story romantic or see the couple as sharing true love. So this is definitely for lovers of very dark storylines.

Be aware that Joe Arden doesn't narrate in this book, but in the follow up, telling the same story from his POV. Both books are worth the time. Subject matter is not for everyone, but the overall story and performances were great. I couldn't stop listening until I completed both the books in less than 2 days.

Taboo but not to dark
I really enjoyed this Audio. This is a new narrator to me and it took me a moment to get used to her voice. She has quite a purr to her voice that I’m not used to hearing. I do believe she did a good job, she pulled off the scared and terrified aspects of the character as well as the strong and fierce ones. The story was well written. Definitely a sexy, taboo, kidnapping but still find love story. I liked how the author worked in aspects from Samantha‘s childhood they gave the story more depth. It was hot but I do not feel it was a dark romance. If you like the kinky and taboo but can’t handle the dark this is a great audio. It does not cross lines although they are mentioned in the story that I consider to be in the category of dark. The bonus story was perfect. I love the narrator who performed Andrés. The accent brought the character even more to life for me. I almost wish the whole book was dual narration. Both narrators have very sexy voices. I look forward to hearing more from this author.
