Captive King by Susan Copperfield

3 Star

Summer Cassidy is ordered to sell a precious necklace to bring some much-needed funds into the university’s archeology dig.  She meets bachelor 103 at the Texas Charity Auction.  He takes a liking to her and bids 10 million for it.  She bids 5.25 for his coffee cups and a coffee date.  One short night together has them hooked but she’s expected back at the dig.  On her way there she is stopped at a sister dig site where she ends up transporting to another and another and another.  How will they break the curse?

I wanted to like this book so much more than I did.  It started off really good.  I wanted to see how Cassidy and Landon would work out.  It just felt like it went off on a tangent about rape about 3/4 of the way through the book.  It just kind of threw me because that wasn’t where the book was going from the beginning of the book.  It felt like there were two plot points the author wanted to do and couldn’t decide which way she wanted to go so threw them both in.   The first book Null and Void that I reviewed previously had hot topic that was addressed.  When it was addressed in that book it made sense where this book it just didn’t meld with the rest of the story.  The other issue I had was how the culture in Alaska was handled.  There seems to be a massive rape culture where women are free to do with as you wish.  Landon who is King doesn’t seem to take any responsibility for this happening right under his nose.  Like you need your lady love to point it out to you and champion the other women in the kingdom.  The other issue I had were things left unanswered about some shady behavior from Cassidy’s school.  Like you wouldn’t bring hell down on their heads since you now have way more power.
