Summary

"There is just the right mix of drama, danger, and sex to keep the listener riveted until the end." (Michelle Mollohan for Readers' Favorite)

Calen is a good man from a bad family, but when the girl of his dreams falls in his lap can he do the right thing and let her go?

Calen is the son of an Irish mobster, but he’s rejected his legacy and has made a name for himself as a club owner. After years of hard work, he has the life he’s always wanted. Almost.

Then his father asks him to take a meeting with a rival crew. It’s too important to say no. Reluctantly, he drives out to the middle of nowhere to meet them. There to negotiate for reparations, he sees an innocent girl being held against her will - someone who looks very familiar.

Unwilling to leave the girl to a fate worse than death, he demands she be included as part of the deal. Maia is forced to stay with Calen for her safety, but she soon finds out he has ulterior motives for protecting her....

Each novel in the Singular Obsession series is a stand-alone featuring a different couple. HEA guaranteed. Not suitable for listeners under 18.

I liked this!!!

Calen is a club owner. His father is a mobster. He sees a fairy like woman in his club and wants to find her. She has him entranced

Maya, a student, is out searching for specimens, when she stumbles and 2’men disposing of a body. They capture her.

I liked this story and enjoyed listening very much. There was some mystery, some intrigue, and some love story.

Lucy Leroux wove a great story! And Avie Paige has a pleasant voice and made the characters come to life!

Dark Erotic Romance

Calen's Captive by Lucy Leroux is a dark erotic romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Avie Paige. This is the second book in the Singular Obsession series and can be read as a standalone.

The book does come with a caution "Though it flirts with some bondage, Calen’s Captive is not a BDSM title. Not suitable for readers under 18."

This is the first book of Lucy's that I have read and it definitely won't be my last. I really enjoyed the relationship that bloomed between Calen and Maia. Their relationship started off a bit messed up but you couldn't help but root for them.

Avie did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like dark romance, erotic romances, or romantic suspense.

Fantastic

This was such an entertaining listen. The characters were well created and the darkness of the book was well balanced with the storyline. I loved the Mafia aspect of it and it has me hoping there is more in this world.

Calen's Captive

This is my first book in the Singular Obsession series. It was captivating and gripping. Calen's obsession came off as a bit creepy but he really was a likable character. Maia found herself in a difficult position but was lucky to find her knight in shining armor. I really enjoyed this dark romance and will be continuing on with this series. Avie Paige did a great job bringing this story to life.

Unconventional Beginning to a Beautiful Relationship

Mia has seen what she should never have seen in the forest. Fortunately, unexpected rescue comes in the form of Calen. From a rescue and willing captivity, can this tiny “nymph” find love and forever with her big, older, possessive and caring man? I loved how intensely these two loved, even before they knew they loved each other. Calen is absolutely madly head over heels for Mia, and she makes him nearly her whole world. Avie Page does a stunning job narrating this story - even the chapters in the different point of views sounded subtly different - fantastic! A superb story and a great listen.

Good story with some slow parts

I expected this book to have a more dangerous hero but I feel like Calen wasn't so much dangerous as just protective. I mean, the background story was about how Maya was in danger. She saw something she shouldn't have and was captured. Luckily, Calen was doing a favor for his father and saw her and ultimately saved her. He is really captivated by her and they had actually a really sweet relationship. She was totally innocent and naive, he was worldly but still, absolutely enchanted by her, in part because of his obsession with fairies. (that's pretty funny). There's a bit of action but I did feel like the story dragged a bit. I enjoyed their interaction, appreciated how he treated her and liked that she was growing stronger emotionally as their relationship developed.

Avie Paige, the narrator, was ok. In the beginning, I felt like she didn't have consistency between the different voices so she played her characters using different voices for the same character. However, she improved as the story continued. I think the issue is that while she did well, her male voice still sounded very feminine and the author would benefit to have her story read by both a male and female narrator. She also had such a smooth voice will only a little changes in inflection so some of the emotions such as anger didn't come through as much.

Easily obsessed!

These singular obsession books are easy to obsess over! This second book in the series had be hooked and I had to see what was going to happen. Lucy Leroux weaves a tale of Calen's fascination of Maia. He sees her briefly in his club, and then in a precarious situation. After negotiating her release to him, he decides he is going to keep her. But will she want to stay? At first I thought I was going to be listening to another story of Stockholm syndrome, but this book is anything but that. Leroux has us sucked in to Calen's life so much, feeling his love that we fall for him, hook, line and sinker. Maia is far from infatuated though. She has a mind of her own, and their relationship evolves over time. It's steamy and passionate and I can see how easily they become obsessed!

Avie Paige brings it all out with her fantastic narration. It's spot on in every aspect. She has voices that are easily distinguishable with every emotion. And when the suspense is high, she adds that extra feeling so we know there is danger. I loved it!

Calen & Maia

This was my first Lucy Leroux book/audiobook.
This book has its fair share of drama and steamy kinky scenes before they find their HEA but unfortunately it wasn’t for me.
Avie Paige is a great narrator and does a brilliant job distinguishing between characters voices.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Fairy Obsessed

Calen is obsessed with fairies and Maia looks like one. He saves her from being abused and killed. This book takes you on a journey through all they have to go through to have a relationship without having to look over their shoulder for danger.
Good Narration
