Captive by R.J. Lewis
5.0
Unexpected
This book. I was not prepared. I came into this thinking it was going to a certain type of book based on the blurb. However, the blurb was like bait because it only loosely was somewhat like it but not in the typical sense of captive romance books are. Add in the title and it almost became a foregone conclusion. It wasn't and I was wrong.
What happens when the bad guy is good and the good guy is bad? If the person you are supposed to have actually is endearing and unexpected. Nixon is that guy. The conversations and interactions with Biden are not only engaging but were also swoon-worthy. He reminded me why it is important to not judge a book by it's cover. Both him and Vix were delightful. They fought as beautifully as the loved.
I'll definitely be looking for more from this author. There was a twist at the end and the ending ended abruptly which was weird considering this is a big book. I didn't want it to end as it was that well written. I hope this continues in other books as it truly was astounding and had great secondary characters.
