I love this book! It's a good read-aloud for a bear theme, or talking about hibernation, or winter, or just for fun. I've also used it as part of a book pair with a nonfiction book about bears when we talk about the difference between fiction and nonfiction---compare/contrast, KWL chart, etc.

I laughed out loud all the way through. Pure silly fun.

This book BLEW ME AWAY! When I first started reading it, I put it down in disgust. It was way too dark, gory, violent, and depressing. I am so glad I gave it another chance and read further. This book is a stark portrait of human nature, from the most depraved cruelty imaginable to the impossible depths of familial love and friendship. Horrific, yet uplifting. Emotionally raw. Painfully and beautifully honest. I would recommend it to anyone with a strong stomach.

Morwyn is a Druid priestess who leaves her home to join the rebels against the Roman Legions. She’s attacked and almost raped, but rescued by a Gaul mercenary named Dunmacos, who has a reputation of being cruel and unjust. But Dunmacos is only a disguise, for he is really Bren, working undercover for the Briton king, Caratacus- the same king Morwyn wants to join forces with. She doesn’t trust Dunmacos, but when he makes himself her protector on her journey, she has no choice but to accept. Guilt and loss runs through Morwyn’s body. She has lost one lover, who loved her, but one she didn’t love in return since she cared for an unstable Druid priest who ended up betraying her people. She doesn’t know what to make of Dunmacos, and although she’s wary of him, she’s very attracted to him. She decides to give into her desires and take him as her lover for the short time they are together. Bren is more than willing, and they engage in a sexual relationship that transforms into something deeper between the two. Both are hiding secrets from one another, and through Morwyn’s visions, she figures out Dunmacos may have slaughtered her lover. She now must decide whether to kill him for revenge, or let him live and leave him before she forgets everything she has planned for her enslaved people. Bren has a mission that’s close to destroying him. He’s tired and no longer wants to fight, hoping that Morwyn will accept him for he truly is and forgive him for his lies and deceit. Captive is an erotic juicy romance set in Roman times. This is a very gritty novel about two people who feel lost in the world. Morwyn hides her fear behind her cutting remarks, and even though Bren is on the end of most of them, he doesn’t allow her anger and taunts to affect him. He can see behind the mask Morwyn holds up to the world and wants to help her heal. These two use physical pleasure to accomplish that and they don’t disappoint. Christina Phillips’s writing is flavorful and electric. The love scenes are hot and steamy and the sex speak between Morwyn and Bren is blunt and dirty. There were a few issues I had mainly from the way Morwyn first reacts to Bren when they meet. She’s about to be raped and brutalized when Bren rescues her. We learn before this attack that she has forsaken sex and will abstain. But the moment she meets Bren, her sacrifice flies out the window. I couldn’t understand, how almost being raped, Morywn becomes turned on very quickly after meeting Bren, who she finds to be a barbarian and one she can’t trust. There’s no aftermath of her attack, no time to reflection, and right away she’s wondering when she and Bren can do the horizontal dance with one another. I also found some of Morwyn’s motivations confusing and questionable. She also tended to grate on my nerves with her acid personality. Bren was written more dimensionally and I found myself more sympathetic to his plight versus Morwyn’s. I had to re-read the ending a few times because it ended so abruptly and wasn’t very fulfilling. Christina Phillips does write a very different setting found in historical romance and if not for some scratching my head over certain actions on the characters’ part, this would have been a recommend read. I will say that Christina’s heroines are very strong and can rise above the horrors surrounding them. Captive is a book most historical readers will probably enjoy.

Didn't like this one. The only really cool thing about it were the new powers added. Other than that, the book just got preachy, which it was sort of doing already, but this one just went over the top. I know that this book is intended for younger readers, but even kids don't need to be hit in the face with the moral of the story. Get back to the good stuff, like finding out what's going on with THEM, not the world. I'm totally ready to start hearing answers. Sometimes I wonder if he's trying to stretch the series to make more money, but I'm hoping he wouldn't do that.

Although I really enjoy the writers that contributed to this book I am just not a fan of short stories.

For a first novel and considering the book is self-published it was absolutely fantastic! Totally gripping from beginning to ending. Would highly recommend to others.

This was one of the scarest book I have ever read.
Just curious about how far "edgy" Christian fiction could go. Boy was I surprised. Okay, I admit it. At one point in this book, I actually caught myself saying a quick prayer for this family and then realized how ridiculous that was; these are fictional people, I reminded myself. But that sort of reaction tells you how wrapped up a reader can get into this story. Beyond that, this is a very fast read with wonderful hooks at the end of many chapters, making it hard to put down. The daring premise of illustrating how a Christian woman might get caught up in an affair and how she could find spiritual healing after was well done. A warning: the first half of this book has so much sexual content that one might begin to wonder if there really will be a Christian element at all; there is. In fact, one of the surprising style points in Sutton's writing is her ability to blend subtley into all of her characters while maintaining a pulse-pounding pace of action.
