A Singular Obsession Book 2
Calen is a good man from a bad family. He’s worked hard for success, but something’s missing…or rather, someone.
Calen is the son of an Irish mobster, but he’s rejected his legacy and has made a name for himself as a club owner. After years of hard work, he has the life he’s always wanted. Almost.
Then his father asks him to take a meeting with a rival crew. It’s too important to say no. Reluctantly, he drives out to the middle of nowhere to meet them. There to negotiate for reparations, he sees an innocent girl being held against her will—someone who looks very familiar.
Unwilling to leave the girl to a fate worse than death, he demands she be included as part of the deal. Maia is forced to stay with Calen for her safety, but she soon finds out he has ulterior motives for protecting her.
***Calen's Captive is the second book in the Singular Obsession Series. No cliffhangers and no serials. Each novel stands alone. Though it flirts with some bondage, Calen's Captive is not a BDSM title. Not suitable for readers under 18.***
My Review:
This is probably the most unconventional way I've ever seen the main characters of a book come together. It certainly turns the whole arranged marriage theme on its head. The time spent getting to know Calen and Maia was maybe more than was necessary but it was still compelling reading. I laughed so hard at Maia's reactions to the normalcy of Calen's every-day life. I hope in the future there will be stories about Liam and Trick as well because the supporting cast were almost as much fun as our hero and heroine. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
