GOODREADS

Finley-
I walked away from him and never looked back or gave Brennen any justified rhyme or reason for leaving. I thought about him over the years. Was he happily married with children and living life to the fullest?

I shouldn’t have broken up with him. Brennen meant everything to me. Yet, at that time in my life, my family needed me more. Now, I was in the same town as Bren and stuck in a situation I desperately wanted out of.

My life was a disaster and I had failed in more ways than I could count on two hands.

Would Brennen be my knight that I needed him to be? Could I confide in him the most ultimate secret that I had been hiding for over a year?

But that changes when I see her, asleep in her cushy marital bed.

We live in the same town but our worlds couldn’t be more different.

So I insert myself in hers by getting a job working directly under her.

Seeing her every day isn’t enough. I want her nights, too. I want her everything, including the secrets she refuses to share.

I don’t care what I have to do or who I have to take on, she will be mine.

Just when I think I have her, I find out she’s not who she pretends to be. Not at all.

And those secrets I said I wanted…

They’re bigger than the ones I’ve been keeping from her.

Review: Fae Captive by Elle Middaugh & Ann Denton

Length: 311 pages

Published: April 22, 2020

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

They think capturing me will help them win the war.

But they just made the biggest mistake of their lives.

As a summer fae princess and chief enforcer for the Mage Police, it’s my job to stop shifters dead in their tracks—emphasis on the dead part. And if one criminal slips through my fingers while I bag another, well, that’s not a good enough reason to demote me—in my opinion.

Determined to prove myself to the mages, I go after the worst criminal out there: The Shadow. But when that mission gets blown all to hell, I find myself a captive of three shifter warlords.

Being their prisoner shows me all about the darker side of the war. But the thing is… I’m not afraid of the dark.

Or them.

My thoughts 💭

I liked this book. Aubry is good at her job as chief enforcer but she’s drawn the attention of the shadow and his crew. She gets captured by them and finds that everything she’s been told may not be truth and these criminals may be her mates. Brodie accepts the mate bond and is determined to make her admit her feeling for him. He was a psychopath but I loved him! Easton and Aubry have a connection but Brodie doesn’t want to share…hopefully he gets over it soon. I don’t really know how to feel about Drake. He started opening up some but then there’s the mess he made by trying to stick to the plan. I can’t wait to read the next book!
