The novel CAPTIVE did just that with me as the reader. It held me captive through each suspenseful page. With breath taking chapters that keep you hooked, Brighton Walsh knows how to write a suspense novel with the right amount passion that makes this a book that I will recommend as a top choice.

What a twist on a storyline about a young college student who is abducted that makes you want to hate and love her abductor. I have to admit I wondered how this would end with so many things that could happen. CAPTIVE kept me intrigued.

Madison is from a rich family with a father who is a well- known businessman. Her mom spends her nights getting wasted. Madison wishes for a different life. Wishing that she could be taken from it all. Be careful what you wish for, she soon finds out. Madison is abducted after class one afternoon and taken to a deserted cabin thirty miles from town. Ghost, her abductor, is not only eye candy but he is big and muscular, scary, and everything she shouldn't want. She is scared but soon finds out that he is not that much different from her other than being from the wrong side of the tracks. Life as Madison knew it would never be the same again.

Without giving away too much I have to say I love the way Brighton Walsh portrays the thoughts and interactions between the two main characters. Not only did you see what is going on inside the head of Madison, but you also saw the thoughts and feelings of Ghost. Brighton Walsh did a fantastic job transitioning the conversations or actions of the characters, giving you a clear view how each viewed the other. CAPTIVE is an amazing novel to read that will not disappoint the suspense lover as well as the romantic lover in us all.

SUMMARY

Madison Frost is desperate to escape her life. The daughter of a prominent business man, she has everything she could ask for. Except a father who’s present in her life, a mother who doesn’t spend her days drinking herself into oblivion, and anyone to talk to outside the four walls of the prison she calls a home. Madison dreams of someday leaving her life behind. She just never thought being kidnapped is how it would happen.

Now she’s being held captive by a man who’s as frightening as he is sinfully gorgeous. Enormous, muscular, and filled with secrets, the man they call Ghost is an enigmatic mercenary as dangerous as he is compelling, and Madison is trapped with him. She doesn’t know who hired him or why, but the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes he's not what he seems. Beneath his rough exterior lies an unexpected gentleness, and a heart as broken and battered as her own.

But as Madison lets her walls down for the first time in her life, Ghost holds tight to his, hiding secrets that could rock her very foundation.
