Review:

This was a very interesting read that I couldn’t put it down and  practically read it in one sitting. Colter was a hero you wanted to swoon over and Erin was a flawed and broken heroine that needed saving. Erin is a very relatable female character. Colter is very mysterious which I both like and dislike. But were very swoon worthy.

However, there are times you want to shake the hell out of Erin. You see the pain and darkness she wrestles with but once in a while it over shadows the story between Colter and Erin and it takes a minute to get back into the love story. The climax storyline needed more buildup. I felt it coming but when it came I felt it sitting there out of place because of the lack of buildup. But it pulled the story together. The final scene in Fangs was so anti-climactic I had whip-lash and had to re-read that scene three times and still didn’t really understand what the hell happened.

Overall? Rae writes a page turner with hot, hot sexy times that keeps a reader glued to the pages. As I mentioned earlier I couldn’t put this book down. You may have thought I didn’t enjoy the book but I actually really enjoyed the book and I can’t wait to read the next book in the serious.

I am giving The Captured Heart by: Beverly Rae 4 out of 5 stars.
