Captivate (Brooklet Dream #2)
by C.A. Harms
I was back in Brooklet Georgia and things were far from how they were when I left years ago.
Maddison used to be one of the guys, but that was definitely not the case anymore…
She had changed and damn if it didn’t make my heart race. With each passing second she began to consume me. Her smile made my knees weak and the way she looked at me took my breath away.
She captivated me, but she was forbidden. She was the one girl I had no right to crave.
Things became messy, and fast, but to hell with the consequences…she was worth it.
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
Trouble never looked so good.
This entire thing has been so that you can prove that you hold the upper hand in this relationship… Truth is you’ve always had the power over me… Damn, Mad, you’ve always been the one girl I could never say no to… I’m at your mercy. You could crush me, though I hope you never will.
I’m eighteen and still a virgin. I’ve never even kissed a guy unless you count little Jimmy Jones slobbering on my cheek in the fifth grade. But even then, Rhett threatened to beat him up when he found out, and he and my daddy have made sure no other boy has come within a foot of me since. At this rate, they’ll be doing a remake of the 40 Year Old Virgin, starring yours truly.
I felt for the girl, I truly did, because Reed and Rhett were for sure gonna drive her insane for years and years to come. But the guy had my most sympathy; I just hoped whoever she ended up with, he was strong enough to survive.
My Review:
Angst and conflict are not my friends – I find them extremely tiresome. As such, the first half of this book was a tedious slog for me, but it was worth it to get to all the good stuff found in the second half. I was just about to give up when the stubborn girl finally stopped playing games and regained her facility for sassy and mischievous taunting. Thank the goddess of ink, I was growing increasingly concerned that Ms. Harms had lost her mojo, but she redeemed herself with delicious slices of sizzle and playful levity. Written in my favorite dual POV, the storylines evolved slowly with many of the same lively cast of irreverent and endearing characters found in Allure. Mike was simply delectable.

Aaah first half tedious syndrome. I would have stopped and said enough… Well you were brave to continue on, I see. sizzles are good. I need more sizzling
Looks like another fun read!
Really great review!
I quiet like angst but it has to be part of a great story. This appeals to me. Another completely insightful and enjoyable review.
This sounds really good and I don’t mind a bit of angst. Sassy is even better!
Angst is one of those things we’re it can either enhance the book or make it bomb. Thanks for the review!
Nice review. I like that cover too.
That cover is eye-catching!
I always adore your reviews. “Thank the goddess of ink…” Ha! I probably would have quit much earlier with that much angst in it!
I’m glad this one picked up for you in the end.

I usually enjoy C.A. Harms books also
I totally don’t patience for things to happen in a romance novel. If it is happening instantaneously, I would give up!
Great review!
