Book Review: Captive in The Dark (The Dark Duet), CJ Roberts

So this is my first official post. I will avoid divulging anything that would ruin the book, but if I must, you will be warned before hand. 

 

This book is the first of two. Some would describe it as a romance, but let us be honest… it’s porn :p (for the record, so is Fifty Shades of Grey). If the word porn offends you, then by all means, fancy it up by calling it Erotica, but your are fooling no one. 😉

 

The book is about a young woman named Olivia that is kidnapped for the purpose of being sold as a sex slave. Her captor, Caleb, means to train her and sell her off to the man that is responsible for Caleb’s awful childhood. Throughout the book, you follow along as Olivia struggles to make sense of her situation, and her internal struggle when she realizes that she has a bizarre attraction to the man responsible for yanking out of her previous life. 

Once you get passed the fact that you are sympathizing with a kidnapper and potential rapist (and trust me, it’s a hard pill to swallow), the book becomes very enjoyable. I should warn you, that if you thought Fifty Shades of Grey was racy, then I wouldn’t recommend this book for you, because the author takes BDSM up a notch). The main character struggles with internal conflicts of emotions, and I believe the author intended for the reader to go through similar struggles because halfway through the book, you find yourself somewhat shocked to find that the scenarios are entertaining you. With all of this being said, I did enjoy reading the book, and found myself anticipating the second one (which I have read already). I was curious to see how the love story ended, and don’t be mistaken, it is a love story, albeit a twisted one. 

 

My review on the final book of The Dark Duet will come shortly
