Captivated by Love by Brenda Jackson

3.5

I read this as a standalone, and I don't think it works as well - I probably would have liked it more if I had that background on the Grangers, but it still worked. I wasn't as gripped by the first half (but I'm also not really a fan of prison set stories or insta-lust), but I did like the connection and deep love between Carson and Sheppard, and I always love when there's no third act breakup. I'm also not usually a fan of one trop (<spoilers> accidental pregnancy </spoilers>) but it really fit and worked for the characters involved.
