I enjoyed this story; of course the series so far has been very enjoyable to read. Though this is part of a series, you can read this as a standalone. This book is a fast paced romance with some suspense and a whole hell of a lot of hot sexual tension. I like the heroine Erika, for being a wealthy socialite she isn’t your stereotypical spoiled brat. She heads a charitable foundation in her deceased mother’s name, not realizing that others have taken advantage of her trust, money, and possibly worse. Emanuel is a man who worked hard for his money just as the rest of his family. When he is asked for help he looks a little deeper, he then comes up with the plan to kidnap Erika in hopes this will force her dad to do the right thing, by returning a missing man to his family.
Is it called Stockholm syndrome if you find the man who kidnapped you attractive prior to knowing he’s kidnapping you? Will Erika pull her head out of her… uh I mean, out of the sand and get to the bottom of the missing man and missing funds?
If you like fast paced stories with great descriptions, romance, and some hot nooky time; than this is not only a great book for you but a great series for you.

A heart pounding romantic suspense with plenty of sparks, danger, action, and sizzling HOT sex! Nothing is better than an action packed romantic suspense with great characters and a terrific plot! And Brazilian Capture is brilliantly written! The characters are fierce and fabulous and the story had me on the edge through the whole book. I loved it!
I really got into this story from the moment I started it. I found myself biting my lip and eagerly flipping the pages to find out what happens next. I was on the edge and squirmy and the romance just sizzled in the BEST way while the action and danger was heart-stopping. A spectacular read.
Brazilian Capture gets a FANTASTIC FIVE SHOOTING STARS!
At first, I was a little scandalized by Emanuel's kidnapping of Erika. No matter what his beef was with Silas Lancaster, kidnapping was just going too far. But once I realized that his long term game plan was making Erika realize that her father was a dirty player I settled in for the read. It's a crazy adventure with buckets of steamy romance and gut-clenching action but at the end, there is a very sweet HEA that most readers will enjoy.
Emmanuel has a great plan to kidnap Erika the only thing her father cares about in order to find a friend of his that disappeared after threatening to report him for using bad products in building houses.
Erika and Emmanuel really make the story she will not bow down to him and her snarky comments drive him insane, but it is what it is with her. He just wants her to see what her father is really doing and get her to come around to his side.
Eventually all things work out and it makes this book a must read.

This is fantastic being I read the first one in the series I was more than ready for this one. I also enjoy these type of plots in a story because you get to see the pieces fall where they may then come together all different then what the characters think lol. This one centers around Emanuel and Erika whom both have a agenda which they think they have the top idea. As the drama unfolds the heat ignites with these two slow simmer. Then it will start to bubble and boil with you sweating as it does. She will sweep you along with these two taking side bets in my head on who crumbles first but loving the suspense. The truth does come in at just the right time with you even more involved with them. before you know it though you have gone and are no landed back home because this one is done.
This is a fast paced sexy hot read that keeps you flipping pages. Carmen Falcone is one of the most talented authors on creating the perfect book boyfriends. Emanuel is hot kidnapper that takes Erika and Erika is attracted to him, need I say anymore. I enjoyed this story so much, I was glued from the first page until the last word. I highly recommend this book or any book by this fabulous author. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book from publisher via NetGalley.
I am a huge Carmen Falcone fan her books are always fantastic reads so when I heard about the Brazilian Capture I was thrilled to dive into this story. When I got the chance to read it early I dived into the story as soon as I could and it was fantastic.
In this book we mainly follow Emanuel and Erika and lets just say these two do not start of on the best footing . Emanuel kidnaps Erika , however as the story goes on and we find out more and more about why he doing this and of course there feeling towards each other become more and more intense , things unfold in some very unexpected ways. I loved the romance in this story , I mean yes of course they do not start of the best footing ,however as these two become closer things between then change and of course the chemistry between them was just off the charts. Carmen Falcone always delivers red hot steamy romance in her books, I always find my self so invested in the characters by the time I finish reading one of her books .However there is more to this story than the steamy romance , as we get deeper into it we find out more about what Silas really did and all of effects of that .This book constantly kept me one my toes and I love that in my stories. Iam so happy with the ending Emanuel and Erika got and I cannot wait to see what Carmen Falcone will write next . If you are looking for a sexy ,adventurous , addicting contemporary romance then you should definitely pick up this book .
This is a great fast paced read that is a super steamy romance with a bit of suspense. Emanuel Duarte is determined to take down his adversary Silas Lancaster. He knows the only thing Lancaster cares about in this world is his daughter Erika so he hits the man where it hurts and kidnaps her. It doesn't take long for Emanuel to realize he may have bit off more than he bargained for. Erika is strong, determined, and so incredibly tempting. And she doesn't believe a word he's telling her about her father. When Emanuel takes Erika to Brazil she comes up with a plan to seduce him and then attempt to get away. Now Erika is in way over her head!
Don't miss this great romantic suspense. I recommend it.
This is the first book I've had the pleasure of reading bu this author and it just gripped me right from the start till finish. Cant wait for more from this author and this fantastic series. The characters are fantastic and sexy and you can't help but wanting them to get there HEA as they are just so funny and right for each other. It's a really great read and would totally recommend this book to everyone as you won't regret it.
I was interested in Carmen Falcone’s Brazilian Capture for two reasons. One) our hero is Brazilian and the story is set in the Amazon, and Two) it’s a captor/captee story. I always love to see how the hero/heroine overcomes the captive scenario and fall for each other. This story doesn’t disappoint!
I really adored Erika. She’s so clever and a few times I found myself sitting as close to my kindle as I could, laughing at her daring. She’s always looking for a way out, but she also approaches her situation carefully and thoughtfully. Erika’s a worthy opponent and one that keeps our hero on his toes!
Then there’s Emanuel who tries to keep up with our heroine with his Portuguese accent and his mystery and sex appeal…The heat was drifting off this guy’s skin!
But Erika and Emanuel both have hearts of gold too. Emanuel wants to do right by the family he promises to help—going so far as to kidnap Erika. He also wants to right his own past wrongs. And Erika’s the head of a foundation in her mother’s name, combating this new information about her father. Her loyalty pulls her one way, but Emanuel’s nature and his insistence pull her another.
The suspense was just alive and kicking. Though the connection does happen fairly quickly, it’s set up in a way that I believed, and it amped the attraction between them. I loved both of these characters, and together, they were dynamite.
3.5 stars!
a good solid story. I liked how the story began and ended. Good overall writing.
This is a wonderful book that I just loved. It's a fast paced romance with a bit of suspense. In it, Erika is a wealthy socialite who heads a charitable foundation, but doesn't seem to look at the details too closely. Emanuel is a self made wealthy man who kidnaps her as a way to force her father to do the right thing and turn over a man he believes her father kidnapped.
Before long, Emanuel has whisked her away to Brazil. He seems to have planned for everything except for his own reaction to Erika. Erika, while wanting to believe the best of her father, can no longer bury her head in the sand.
The author has described Brazil and the Amazon is such a way that the setting almost becomes a character in its own right.
I totally enjoyed this book and found myself turning pages as quickly as possible to see what happened next. I was sorry when it ended and can't wait to see what the author will write next.
