My Thoughts

She is very loyal to her family which cost her a long term relationship. She moves on with running the hotel. This is where she meets Alex who is an American staying in the hotel and can be quite difficult to handle. Their chemistry is sizzling and Libby wonders if he could be her forever. I really enjoyed their story.

I give He's Captured My Heart 4 hearts!



About the Book

Like any dutiful Scottish daughter, Libby Stewart puts her family first. She’s spent months helping her brother, a single father, care for his new daughter. The strain of her family commitments led to the painful demise of a two-year relationship. As Libby nurses her broken heart and relishes time with her niece, her father offers her a job managing his hotel. She’s ready to focus on her career and get her life back on track.

Alexander Mathews, a handsome American businessman who is staying at the hotel, has other plans for Libby. She’s taken aback when she meets Alex. He strikes her as arrogant and domineering, but regardless, the sexual tension between them is palpable. Libby fancies herself a good girl, but Alex quickly seduces her. Libby finds she is soon addicted to the passion she feels in Alex’s skillful hands.

Libby has never been so confused. Who is Alex Mathews, really? An international playboy, or truly the man of her dreams? When a confrontation with her ex-boyfriend turns violent and she questions Alex’s loyalty to her, Libby must decide if she wants to let this charismatic stranger from across the pond truly capture her heart.

Excerpt

I open a drawer of the dresser and throw the underwear in, then stand staring in the mirror. I close my eyes and take in a long, deep breath. I don’t need to open my eyes to know that he’s followed me into the room. I sense him. He’s getting closer to me. I can smell him. It’s hard to describe—a sweet, rich, masculine scent. I’ve not even heard his footsteps coming across the floor. So silent, like a predator creeping up on its prey.

I can feel how close he is as he leans in. I feel his breath against the back of my ear. Then it travels ever so slowly to the nape of my neck. I know what he’s doing. This is sheer torture of a pleasurable kind. He’s tormenting me on purpose. Don’t think I can take much more of this. But I don’t think I can move either. My brain has shut down. I should tell him to go; that would be the right thing to do. But the parts of my body that have lain dormant for the past few months won’t let me speak.

He slowly slips one hand round my waist as he trails small kisses along my neck. My head automatically tilts to one side to give him more access. His other hand starts at my neck, and with gentle strokes, he starts working his fingers down my back, then up again. I can’t even bring myself to open my eyes.

I must be dreaming. I’ve only known this gorgeous man who is standing behind me for…how long? Not even a day. This can only be a dream.

“Libby, please. Open. Your. Eyes. And. Turn. Round,” he says in between the kisses that he’s placing on my neck.

I don’t want to do as I am told because at this moment I am quite content where I am. And I am also a bit afraid that he won’t finish what he has started.

About the Author

I live just outside Glasgow, Scotland with my husband of seventeen years and our, sometimes delightful, five children. My busy days include helping my husband manage the family business, while the kids take up the majority of the time, schools runs, parties and all the various sports clubs they attend. I find escape from the chaos of everyday life in good books, particularly stories of passionate romantic relationships.  Let’s face it we all dream of the happily ever after’s.

For as far back as I can remember I have devoted my time to my family and for that I wouldn’t change a thing, but whilst thinking what I wanted to do for me, I had this niggling feeling to write, but pushed it to the back of my mind, for a good few months. Several months later and it was still there along with the names Elizabeth and Alexander, so thought I have nothing to lose so why not give it a go. Never in a million years when I started writing He’s Captured My Heart, a tale of contemporary erotic romance set in Scotland, did I think I would actually finish it, never mind do anything with it.
