I’ve enjoyed many stories by Samantha Beck and I was looking forward to this book mainly because I’m on an Alaska kick. Plus, I love the creativity with the name of the town. Sounds like a place to visit indeed!
This story is a great blend of city meets small town. It’s a somewhat forbidden romance and definitely a steamy story. Continue on for my full review.
Wild in Captivity by Samanthe Beck
ASIN : B09H5J7S5W
Publisher : Entangled: Amara
Publication date : October 18, 2021
OVERVIEW:
Ambitious L.A. lawyer Isabelle Marcano would rather run a mile in her Manolos than fly off to rustic Captivity, Alaska. But close the client’s sale successfully and her firm will find room on the letterhead for one more name. Still, taking a career detour to a place that doesn’t even have a Starbucks sounds like the seventh level of hell.
Then her best friend points out the town has something stronger on tap than caffeine. Testosterone. With two single men to every single woman, this assignment might just be the best thing to happen to her sex life since the invention of the waterproof Rabbit.
Until her sexy client introduces her as his fiancée to hide what she’s doing in town, and all her aspirations of hot Lumberjack Sex fly out the airplane window.
Though…fiancés do have sex, right? Those who don’t want to answer to small-town busybodies better look like they do, epically, even when the mere prospect plays havoc with her professional responsibilities. And her hormones.
Her firm’s getting antsy to finalize the merger. But the more she learns about Trace, about why he’s selling, the more conflicted she becomes about the deal. Failure to close means losing the partnership she’s always wanted, but the bigger failure might just be kissing Trace goodbye…
Wild in Captivity by Samanthe Beck Review
Samantha Beck is well known for her steamy romance and she holds back nothing when writing her stories. You’re guaranteed some sugar, some spice, and lots of nice. This book is no different! It’s loaded with all of the above, plus a delicious leading man who just sounds like someone I need in my life. LOL
Beck knows how to create characters that work perfectly off of each other. City girl meets small-town hottie and sparks start flying. The hidden secrets, fake fiancé, a bit of conflict of interest, and a delicate path to doing the right thing. Even the towns people are highly involved in the story and they definitely know everyone’s business.
Beck has created a captivating story that is loaded with the heat and spice we love but it’s seemingly difficult path to the happy ever after we crave. When sticky secrets start unfolding, we’re all in for a surprise or two.
Plenty of funny situations and characters balance together with the tough business choices in Wild in Captivity. But this forbidden romance and fake fiancée captures us with all of the heat, plus those warm and fuzzy feels needed in Captivity, Alaska.
4 STARS!
