Happily Ever After Reviews: Captured, a recommended read!

Thanks, LynnMarie!
LynnMarie’s Review
Mari has just about had it with life. While she’s out collecting eggs, something happens that will change her future forever. She wakes up inside a cage, naked, and never so confused. Little does she know, she is being taken to a far away planet to be sold on the meat market.
The concept of the book intrigued me from page one. I had to know Mari’s fate. She was a great character! Strong, foul mouthed, and very easy to relate to. Mari isn’t a reluctant heroine or wilting flower, despite the traumas in her past. She’s smart and knows what she wants.
The beautiful cover of the book perfectly reflects the striking dragon tattoo on her back, as well as her flaming red hair. The same hair that caught her captor’s attention when he came to Earth seeking prisoners.
Ekkatt is so easy to fall in love with. He’s a hot, ripped alien, with golden skin, and a strong moral conscience. When he discovers that humans are far more than mindless animals, he just can’t sell Mari off like cattle. He hides her out in his home, and a love story is born.
Julia Rachel Barrett has created a complex sci-fi romance that I adored. Her sense of humor was priceless! The sex scenes were hot, but the developing romance took the prize in Captured. Our hero and heroine are so different, but learn from each other, and grow as people.
I highly encourage you to take this journey…to lose yourself in a different world. Captured is a sci-fi romance you don’t want to miss out on. I want more from Julia Rachel Barrett!

Thanks! It feels good to be appreciated, huh? My doggie is sick so I’m pretty stressed these days. Nice to read a positive review.

Julia, I just started reading my print copy of “Captured” yesterday and I’m totally hooked! Talk about “Capturing” women-this book is doing it for me. This is a wonderful read!
XXOO Kat -sadly not Ekkat (whom I’d love to meet!)-just plain Kat… lol

Hey, Kat - let me know when you get your cover flat too! When I re-read Captured myself, I wanted to re-write it to make it longer. Ah well…
It’s succinct!
