The Captive
RECOMMENDED: The Captive by Grace Burrowes is $1.99 at Amazon! This is a historical romance and the first book in the Captive Hearts series. Redheadedgirl read this last summer and gave the book a B-:
I’ve read a few things by Grace Burrows- The Duke’s Obsession books, for example – and I liked them and all. I thought that Burrowes’ great weakness was characters not worrying overmuch about period social mores (The heir to a dukedom marrying his housekeeper, for example) but I love how she draws characters. This is no exception- the plot is, well, it’s there, but the characters are what kept me up late to keep reading.
He’ll never be free…
Captured and tortured by the French, Christian Severn, Duke of Mercia, survives by vowing to take revenge on his tormentors. Before the duke can pursue his version of justice, Gillian, Countess of Greendale, reminds him that his small daughter has suffered much in his absence, and needs her papa desperately.
Until he surrenders his heart…
Gilly endured her difficult marriage by avoiding confrontation and keeping peace at any cost. Christian’s devotion to his daughter and his kindness toward Gilly give her hope that she could enjoy a future with him, for surely he of all men shares her loathing for violence in any form. Little does Gilly know, the battle for Christian’s heart is only beginning.
