Historical Romance
From Goodreads:
He'll
never be free...
Captured
and tortured by the French, Christian Severn, Duke of Mercia, survives by
vowing to take revenge on his tormentors. Before the duke can pursue his
version of justice, Gillian, Countess of Greendale, reminds him that his small
daughter has suffered much in his absence, and needs her papa desperately.
Until he
surrenders his heart...
Gilly endured her difficult
marriage by avoiding confrontation and keeping peace at any cost. Christian's
devotion to his daughter and his kindness toward Gilly give her hope that she
could enjoy a future with him, for surely he of all men shares her loathing for
violence in any form. Little does Gilly know, the battle for Christian's heart
is only beginning.
Grace Burrowes is back in very fine
form with The Captive. There is a
tortured hero, a damaged heroine, and a hidden enemy. Throw in a daughter who will not talk and romance to complete
the mix. I loved Gilly. She endured a horrible marriage but
emerges strong and full of empathy.
Christian needs someone like Gilly for himself and for his
daughter.
There is a hidden element in the
plot that tells of the danger to both Gilley and Christian. I did suspect that one character was
not what he seemed and it turned out I was right. There is also one character from the previous series that
makes several appearances and plays an important part in The Captive. All of this makes for a great read.
Sourcebook Casablanca published The Captive by Grace Burrowes in 2014.
I received an ARC of The Captive
from Netgalley.
