Captive in the Dark by CJ Roberts
1.0

I’ve been reading this free eBook for research on a new project I’m working on.

Now, no kink shame. I’ve discovered this is a niche form of erotica or dark romance, and to each their own. But I’ve read much better, well written smut on A03. Captive in the Dark isn’t good smut, at all.

So much of this book is just... bad, bland writing. I never feel the desperation or fear when the character is kidnapped. I never feel intrigued by the “handsome, irresistible” kidnapper. Quite bluntly, this is just a bad written book that’s done well because it’s targeting a very specific audience who aren’t being catered to.
