I am a sucker for good banter, and this book had it in spades. I had never read anything from this author before, but when I came across this book I figured I'd give it a read because it sounded interesting. I was not disappointed and quickly became obsessed. I could not put this book down, the book was fast paced and I loved every second. I very highly recommend this book, especially if you are testing the waters in the dark romance genre, but aren't ready for pitch black dark romance yet.

This story hooked me from the very beginning! It started with action and drama, I was on the edge of my seat. The hot and cold and push and pull between Katie and Alex had me wanting to pull my hairrrr! Alex was so damn stubborn it was driving me nuts!! But man did it take a turn! Sooo good I didn’t know what to expect for the ending but it did not disappoint! My first read by this author but definitely will be adding more of her work to my tbr very soon! ❤️

Loved this book! It had romance, humour, girl falling for the bad guy and still Jacqueline was able to create complex characters that had different sides to them. The story drew you in and it didn’t take the route you thought it was going too! Loved Katie and Alex and their story!

Captured Heart is a gripping blend of romance and danger, where love and loyalty are at constant war. The story follows a man trying to escape his past, only to be pulled back into the criminal world for one last job—which, of course, turns out to be anything but simple. What I loved most was the tension between him and Katelyn; their chemistry is electric, but the stakes are deadly. The story kept me hooked with its mix of high-stakes drama and emotional depth, and I couldn't put it down. If you love romance with a side of danger and impossible choices, this one's for you.

Okay, listen up! If you think Captured Heart is just another bad-boy-falls-for-the-wrong-girl romance, THINK AGAIN. This book is packed with high-risk, high-reward tension, and let me tell you—I was stressing. 💀 Our guy? Caught between a dangerous crime boss and the one girl he definitely shouldn’t be falling for. The angst? Off the charts. The chemistry? Whew. 🔥 The "oh no, what have I done?" moments? PERFECTION. If you love romance with danger, drama, and a heart-stopping, “HOW is he gonna get out of this?!” kinda plot, grab this book ASAP. 🚨💘

This was so good! I loved every second of Alex's and Katie's story. This is a definite he falls first, enemies to lovers, touch her and die. I love the transformation we see in Alex from the beginning to the end, it really make sure you fall in love with him along with the FMC. The spice in this read was top notch! The plot of the story was great, with a lot of reads that has a lot going on in it, I tend to get lost and the plot fails, but this was the perfect pace, allowing the story to seamlessly flow from start to finish. I would highly recommend this!!

Intense and fast driving storyline with characters you get to know and definitely root for. More than the usual romance, suspenseful and complex plot with twists and emotion really give it that extra. And yea some sizzle and spice at a good pace.
