Captured by Beverly Jenkins
4.0
Book: Captured
Author: Beverly Jenkins
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Series: Le Veq Family #3
Tropes: Historical-American Revolution, Pirate, Hero rescues heroine
Content Warning: Slavery, On page sexual and physical violence
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Captured introduces us to pirate/privateer Dominic Le Veq and Clare Sullivan, an enslaved woman from Savannah. Dominic is the beloved son of Antoine, a French nobleman, and Marie, his Martinique slave, who he fell in love with and freed. After Dominic rescues or kidnaps Clare (based on your point of view), he goes on a wooing campaign to convince her to stay with him. Jenkins fulfills all of your island sex romp fantasies. With the added sexyness of period-appropriate birth control and affirmative consent.
Jenkins is known for the impeccable research she puts into her books and she doesn’t disappoint with this installment of the Le Veq Family series. She creates a rich, historical world. I love Regency romances as much as any Quin and Kleypas devotee but I appreciate the change up of setting with Jenkins’ books. Sometimes the historical facts aren’t as well incorporated into the narrative but it’s always useful information. Also some wording in the love scenes could be a bit comical which took me out of the book.
