Description

“Dark, sexy, and intense, Prisoner is an emotional ride that does not let go until the end. I loved it!” ~ Kristen Callihan, USA Today bestselling author 

HE SEETHES with raw power the first time I see him—pure menace and rippling muscles in shackles. He’s dangerous. He’s wild. He’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

So I hide behind my prim glasses and my book like I always do, because I have secrets, too. Then he shows up in the prison writing class I have to teach and he blows me away with his honesty. He tells me secrets in his stories, and it's getting harder to hide mine. I shiver when he gets too close, with only the cuffs and the bars and the guards holding him back. At night, I can’t stop thinking about him.

But that’s the thing about an animal in a cage—you never know when he’ll bite. He might use you to escape. He might even pull you into a forest and hold a hand over your mouth, so you can’t call for the cops. He might make you come so hard, you can’t think.

And you might crave him more than your next breath.

"Sexy, dark and thrilling. I loved every second!" ~ Katie Reus, New York Times bestselling author 

"Prisoner is terrific and frightening, sexy and dangerous, sweet and heavy on messed up, tortured characters. ALL LOVERS of Dark Erotic Thrillers must read this book!" - Mistik Ink

"Prisoner is captivating, emotional, and raw. I can't wait to read it again. This might just be my favorite book of the year." - Wicked With Ink

  • Decent read

    There seemed to be times where things were grammatically incorrect but I have dyslexia and sometimes just can’t get words right so it could be me. Read this is 2024 and honestly the lead male Grayson just gave me the ick. I found myself rolling my eyes a lot at his character. Sometimes even at the lead female Abby. But, if a movie were to come out with this plot I would watch it. I enjoyed the story. I will also say though, rape should never be made to seem enjoyable or okay. She could do better.
  • Such a story of survival

    We’re all trying to survive a world designed to destroy us. Whatever our obstacles, persecution, tribulations. Endurance, strength and courage help us overcome. Family is never just blood.

    This is one of the darkest books I’ve ever read and a roller coaster of emotions. This book was definitely written from deep within the core. I can’t completely wrap my head around the two main characters because it seems as if there is a missing link between what’s going on in their heads vs what actually comes out of their mouths. Both have a dark and horrible past, one worse than the other. I understand how abuse can cause serious psychological issues especially if it occurs as a child. I can’t help but think maybe there is some Stockholm syndrome going on in this story (it is mentioned at one point). I can get into two lost souls finding each and being the missing piece that each one needs in order to find happiness within themselves. However I can’t really get into a man keeping a woman captive because he wants her like she’s a puppy he found on the street and he now owns her nor can I be ok with a situation that’s practically date rape. I guess that’s the darkness of the characters the authors want you to feel. I am giving this book 5 stars because of how extremely well and intense that it’s written. But if any of the situations mentioned above are something the reader can’t handle due to similar circumstances in their own life or that of a loved one, I would not recommend reading this book.

    This is my first book by these authors. I was not sure what to expect by the blurb. But I am so glad I took a chance and read it because I loved it! Grayson and Abby....ahhhh! In the beginning I was not sure how to feel about Grayson, but as you learn his backstory you understand why he is the way he is. There were a few times I wanted to smack Abby for not trusting Grayson, but she has her own backstory and you understand her trust issues. I did not want this book to end! I cannot wait to read the next book! I hope others characters get a book also! Bottom line I definitely recommend reading this series!
  • Dark but good

    Dark, twisted romance. Sexy in a disturbing kind of way. Good book and I enjoyed it, but definitely not a traditional hearts and roses romance.
  • Deviantly delightful!

    This story was beautifully tragic, and twisted up with the lives of lost souls seeking vengeance. These characters make you feel many different emotions simultaneously. They’re rash, and loyal, and broken. Abby’s trying to claw her way out of her past to build herself into something new, despite shame and lack of confidence. Grayson is fueled by rage over a lifetime stolen, and a thirst to make those that took it, pay for what they did. These two couldn’t be more different, yet still slightly alike. I was completely blown away by this book. I didn’t know what to expect. I loved them, I hated them, and now that I’ve reached the end, I miss them. This story was deep, and emotional, steamy, and truly fantastic. I look forward to reading book two!

    So I’m not gonna lie the part about when they first had sex was a little too much for me to take in. Cuz I couldn’t fight that initial feeling of it being unwanted. But I did enjoy the book at times. N the book is a lill dark but that’s true to life. We all have dark hidden secrets about ourselves. Who are we to judge another person, I can’t. I did enjoy the blunt writing and it made easy to imagine what’s going on. Unlike some other books like “If I were u” got too far into details it made it hard to fill in the blanks. Like the author had Abby say in the book. Like reading but seeing the movie play out in my head. Really neat.

    Wow I could not put this one down, so raw and heart wrenching! Talk about a good dark read though, with characters you can’t help but cheer for.
