Synopsis:
Like
any dutiful Scottish daughter, Libby Stewart puts her family first. She’s spent
months helping her brother, a single father, care for his new daughter. The
strain of her family commitments led to the painful demise of a two-year
relationship. As Libby nurses her broken heart and relishes time with her
niece, her father offers her a job managing his hotel. She’s ready to focus on
her career and get her life back on track.
Alexander
Mathews, a handsome American businessman who is staying at the hotel, has other
plans for Libby. She’s taken aback when she meets Alex. He strikes her as
arrogant and domineering, but regardless, the sexual tension between them is
palpable. Libby fancies herself a good girl, but Alex quickly seduces her.
Libby finds she is soon addicted to the passion she feels in Alex’s skillful
hands.
Libby
has never been so confused. Who is Alex Mathews, really? An international
playboy, or truly the man of her dreams? When a confrontation with her
ex-boyfriend turns violent and she questions Alex’s loyalty to her, Libby must
decide if she wants to let this charismatic stranger from across the pond truly
capture her heart.
Oh my goodness!
This novel is so amazing that it took my breath away!
I expected it to be good, great even! But He’s Captured my Heart is one of best written and best developed stories I’ve read in a while!!
The story is mesmerizing, while the characters are simply, without a doubt captivating!
And to top it all? Alex and Libby are not exactly adorable..How could we call them? Perfect match? Other halves? Can’t imagine to have them apart?..Well, something like that..
Alex is a complicated man, to say at the least. He is, of course, decisive. He’s a man who knows what he wants. The way he pursued Libby from the very beginning was *this is me swooning at the moment* was sexy and romantic and a turn-on and perfect. Just perfect.
Libby is so much to fun!! I loved reading about her reactions and her lines!! She’s such a great character!! She’s smart, caring, loving, sexy - she’s the real deal!
I think this will not be a very long review, but you don’t really need it.
He’s Captured My Heart will capture your heart and mind! It was amazing!! I loved every page of it and every character!!!
There was nothing I didn’t like, but everything that I loved!!
He’s Captured My Heart receives 5 Amazing Stars, for it is captivating!
Excerpt:
Our last stop
is at the water’s edge. As the water splashes against the pebbles, I notice a
seaplane has just landed at the jetty, and an excited couple is about to go for
a tour. There’s no better way to see the loch than a bird’s-eye view from the
sky. From up there you see the real majesty of the vast loch and surrounding
highlands. From the sky the hotel glistens like a jewel against the unspoilt
water’s edge.
“I love this
view,” I say, looking over my shoulder at Alex, who’s standing just behind me.
“Don’t think I’ll ever get tired of looking at it.” The water is still and has
a calming effect on me.
“I have to
admit that I don’t think I will either, although I think my point of view is
especially spectacular,” he says with a smile so full of promises. He slips his
left hand round my waist and places small kisses on the nape of my neck, which
sends shock waves through my body.
“Libby, I’m
going to turn you around and kiss you. I am warning you to give you a chance to
say no. I’d rather not be slapped again.” Alex slowly turns me to face him, and
all I see is a wanting look in his eyes. My breathing has altered, picked up
pace, and my heart is racing. I do want this.
“Well, what
are you waiting for then?” I whisper in invitation.
That’s all it
takes. One hand is still on my waist. The other reaches up to my chin and tilts
my face, so I am watching as his face comes closer. His soft, wet lips meet
mine, and they taste so sweet. And before I know it, I’m kissing him back.
When we
eventually pull ourselves apart, all I can do is sigh. He still has one arm
held firmly round my waist. I notice his smile. What a beautiful smile it is.
“I hope that
makes up for my mistake earlier today?”
“It certainly
does. But as you recall, I already accepted your apology hours ago,” I say,
smiling back at him.

About the author:
I
live just outside Glasgow, Scotland with my husband of seventeen years and our,
sometimes delightful, five children. My busy days include helping my husband
manage the family business, while the kids take up the majority of the time,
schools runs, parties and all the various sports clubs they attend. I find
escape from the chaos of everyday life in good books, particularly stories of
passionate romantic relationships. Let’s
face it we all dream of the happily ever after’s.
For
as far back as I can remember I have devoted my time to my family and for that
I wouldn’t change a thing, but whilst thinking what I wanted to do for me, I
had this niggling feeling to write, but pushed it to the back of my mind, for a
good few months. Several months later and it was still there along with the
names Elizabeth and Alexander, so thought
I have nothing to lose so why not give it a go. Never in a million years
when I started writing He’s Captured My
Heart, a tale of contemporary erotic romance set in Scotland, did I think I
would actually finish it, never mind do anything with it.
