His Captive (MacGruders #1) by Diana Cosby

His Captive by Diana Cosby

My rating: 3 of 5 stars





With a wastrel brother and a treacherous former fiancé, Lady Nichola Westcott hardly expects the dangerously seductive Scot who kidnaps her to be a man of his word. Though Sir Alexander MacGruder promises not to hurt her, Nichola's only value is as a pawn to be ransomed.



Alexander's goal is to avenge his father's murder, not to become entangled with the enemy. But his desire to keep Nichola with him, in his home—in his bed—unwittingly make her a target for those who have no qualms about shedding English blood.



Now Nichola is trapped—by her powerful attraction to a man whose touch shakes her to the core. Unwilling and unable to resist each other, can Nichola and Alexander save a love that has enslaved them both?





My thoughts & Review





This was a cute fast read but not much substance would have like to see more of a plot. Its about a kidnapping of a Lords sister who they plan to ransom.The characters of this story are drawn to each other right from the beginning.Although both parties try to fight this attraction to each other as they are suppose to be enemies.I found myself laughing a lot throughout the book Nichola antics while being held prisoner we hilarious.I found the tender hear Ted Alexander to be endearing his love and attraction for Nicola was a surprise to see for a harden Highland warrior.Found Alexander to be a noble warrior in his decision on choosing between his family and Nicola turned out to be the right one even if it was a hard choice and tore his heart out in doing so.Look forward to catching up on the other books in the series.I new author added to a list of growing new comers for me.

My thoughts...
Well not one to go on a rip and author apart but I have to say that this book was not my cup of tea and leave it at . I found myself losing interest in this book. I love Heather she is one of the reasons that I have a fondness for reading. But, I have to say that in my opinion Heather is a  better writer when writing romance books then paranormal books as those are all in my library and I miss that side of her. But, I know that as and author they are told what to write these days so I am not giving up will just try another and she what happens....

Stolen Innocence: My Story of Growing Up in a Polygamous Sect, Becoming a Teenage Bride, and Breaking Free of Warren Jeffs by Elissa Wall

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This was quite an interesting story.I give a lot of credit to this young girl for sharing her story and speaking out. I have to say that after reading this story I feel as though that these leaders think they are above the law and that they can do whatever they want and get away with it. They are nothing but a bunch of pedophiles thinking its there right to get away with there sick ways.There needs to be government regulations put in place for these organizations , they are just brainwashing both men and women and abusing women and children.I don't fault anyone for choosing a religion they believe in and its there right on how they choose to live your life but at some point being intelligent people that we are we know what is right and wrong and once you cross that line you become a criminal just as much as those in charge and are responsible for your actions and no god or religion are not asking these horrible things of you. No religion is worth hurting another and causing them pain and watching innocent women  and children being raped and thinking its okay!!!! and that if you interfere you will be punished and won't go to heaven and that not the risk your willing to take. Well after being a participant you don't deserve to go to heaven you will be going to hell instead.Any religion that can take a husbands wives away from them and give them to another in a blink because you weren't up to snuff or ticked someone off in a heartbeat and have no say over your women and children  you have to take a very hard look at yourself and say is this a religion i want to be part of because god does not put these restrictions on another human being and have this kind of control of another's life it is the person in charge making this shit up just to be more important and gaining wealth and having total control and being in power to abuse there followers and you are letting them !!!
More men and women in these kinds of sects need to breakaway and come forward to tell there stories so the unjust and be dealt with and I am glad this young girl had they guts to do it (leave the sect)not that it was easy in anyway as she had been brainwashed from the time she was a child if she didn't follow the rules she was not going to heaven and all her siblings that we still in there worrying that the members would be abusing her younger sisters because of her actions and also worrying that the rape that was done to her would be done to her sisters to carry this on ones shoulders at 14 years of age is such a great burdened just a child still having to deal with all of this and by the time she was sixteen had 3 miscarriages because she was repeatedly raped and it was her husband right.I hope this story inspires others like her to breakaway....
