Thoughts
This was a trilogy of three books: Captive Bride, Kept Bride and Taken Bride. It was also the first read from Alta Hensley for me.
Captive Bride starts with Richard’s capturing of Christopher, a photographer for trespassing. He then met Ember, who is used to harass Christopher into submission while being imprisoned herself.
I requested for this ARC as I like captive books and Captive Bride had a fantastic start in keeping me hooked. It follows the couple through the ordeal of being captured and how will they move on from it during Kept Bride. Taken Bride then wraps up the story where Christopher fights for Ember to be with him.
The suspense was written well to a certain extent but Christopher and Ember were frustrating to read at some points, especially during Kept Bride where there was more telling than showing. The end was also predictable and it felt incomplete in terms of tying the story up well.
