Fresh Fiction Review

CAPTIVATED
Lauren Dane

Reviewed by Kathyrn Little
Posted June 15, 2012

Science Fiction | Erotic

Hannah, Vincenz, and Julian are the main characters and lovers of CAPTIVATED. Vincenz and Julian have "adopted" Hannah as theirs. Hannah is, at first, more like the new "toy", but later in CAPTIVATED she becomes more of a partner in their love triangle.

The love scenes begin within the first couple of chapters and get hotter from there. CAPTIVATED is serious erotica and contains M/M/F and M/F/M scenes. Readers have to appreciate these types of scenes to enjoy CAPTIVATED at all.

Hannah's character is nice enough, though she seems a bit whiny at times and was jealous of a dead woman even though she has no problem sharing her two lovers. Julian and Vincenz are also nice enough, but seem a bit too interested in each other.

The plot itself is okay and the love scenes drive the storyline. Lauren Dane does do a good job with the emotional relationship between the characters. Readers will buy into the fact that they truly loved each other. Fan of erotica will want to make sure they add CAPTIVATED to their shelves!

SUMMARY

Vincenz Fardelle, exiled son of the Supreme Leader of the Imperialist Universe, has spent much of the last ten years working to stop the threat his father poses. But he's not alone in his quest. Julian Marsters has lost his best friend and countless others in the war and has made vengeance his only goal. In each other, Julian and Vincenz find not only like minds, but kindred spirits. However unexpected their relationship, everything changes for Vincenz and Julian when Hannah Black comes into their lives. Having been captured and held in near total isolation by imperialist troops, their immediate response is to protect her. Emotionally shattered but resilient, Hannah rebuilds herself. Because of the warm safety she finds in the arms of Julian--and Vincenz she becomes someone harder, stronger and bent on preventing the Imperialists from harming anyone else. For the two men, wrestling with their passionate feelings for Hannah is only the beginning. War is about to send all three into harm's way and an equally dangerous secret could tear them apart.
