Description

Two years ago, Jason and Kate Ryker were brought together by grief and bound to one another by love. Now married, they’re confronting their fears together. 
But heartbreak finds them again, and the ties that bind Kate and Ryke are tested as she struggles against fear and sadness. As a grief counselor, Kate understands all too well the pain of her clients. And while her husband’s career as an NHL forward is at an all-time high, he’s coping with the frustration of feeling powerless as his wife's hopes slip away. 
Kate’s unexpected journey sheds light on the fear that imprisons her, and reveals that only she can set herself free.

    I couldn't find a single thing I disliked as I read this book. It picks up smoothly from the first installment of the series, and I must say, I enjoyed it as much, if not more than the first. With steamy romance and such a trying emotional journey, I really couldn't put it down. If you're reading this review wondering whether you should read this book, this is your sign. Do it.

  • Good Read but...

    I really like the storyline! I read the first book in one sitting. Can't seem to stop or put it down. BUT there are so many grammatical errors (which is major pet peeve of mine) and it sometimes contradicts itself. Like she's 22 in this book, but wasn't she just 22? One year prior, she would've been 24 right? Or, he never went close to 2 months without getting laid before but didn't he say he wasn't with anyone in the 3 months leading up to them getting together? Nonetheless, it's a good read.

    I was really sad when Kate had another miscarriage, but when she found out that she was pregnant again I was so happy and then they adopted melody and shortly after that they had their baby and I was so happy for them! I wish these books of Kate and Ryker were made into movies! I give this book a 10 of 10

    Just as good as the first book. Very emotional story. I found that there were times I was laughing and times that I had tears. Beautiful story of struggle, life and love.

    If you haven't read Bound yet, read it now. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Go read it now and then read Captive. This series is an amazingly wonderful, emotional journey. Captive picks up 2 years later. We get to see what has happened over the last 2 years through several flashbacks. Kate and Ryke's journey is very emotional, and very real. In Bound they each suffered their own loss. In Captive, they suffer loss together. What makes this book great is how real the characters are. Many people have gone through what Kate has gone through. All the thoughts and feelings that both Kate and Ryke express are very real, and very relatable. Brenda certainly has a way of making you cry, but she can also make you laugh. At times it was difficult to read through the tears, but she mixes in just the right amount of humor. We see Kate and Ryke work through their struggles, and while things are not perfect, the story is perfect. Brenda did an amazing job with both Bound and Captive. I can not wait to read about Luke in the next book.

  • Awesome!!!!
