GAIGE: (Captive to the Dark) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 111 ratings

— Golden Flogger Award Nominee — Elle wasn’t mine. Not the first time I met her, and certainly not when I spotted her in the arms of another man. And not just any man—-a criminal. She wasn’t just any woman either, but a girl gone missing more than ten years earlier, when she was the love of my brother’s life. The eyewitness reports said he’d died trying to save her. That might have been true, but it didn't stop me from blaming the shy, sweet girl who had lived down our street. I’d grown to hate her. My once happy family had been torn apart, and the secrets surrounding her disappearance never let the matter rest. Now fate had brought her back into my life again.

As a Secret Agent, my undercover status led me right to the heart of the most corrupt men on earth. I never thought it would also lead me into the darkest recesses of my mind. That’s where Elle resided. Where she deserved to be, especially with the pampered life she now lived. She might have been dripping in diamonds and dressed to kill, married to a billionaire, but she was about to disappear again. With me.

I want her to feel our pain. I want her to suffer. Worse, I want her.


WARNING: This book contains very graphic violence, disturbing situations, dubious consent, and very strong language

    Review for Gaige: Captive to the Dark Series by Alaska Angelini

    Gaige is the third book in the Captive to the Dark Series by Alaska Angelini and is a dark erotic romance. If you are not into the dark, kinky side of things you’ll want to avoid this book, but if you enjoy a walk on the dirty side… dive in baby.

    I was already excited to read this book after reading the first two in the series, but not just because I knew it was going to be a hot and dirty book, the synopsis promised a thrilling storyline to boot. Many of my blog followers don’t know this about me since I stick pretty faithful to the romance genre/subgenres, but I LOVE books with a good who-done-it and a good thrill. The fact that this one promised BOTH smut AND that thriller aspect had my panties in a twist.

    Elle was taken and forced into a world that she wanted no part of… her job was to play the dutiful wife. Silent, subservient, and available to slake her husbands lust for sex or inflicting pain. She had given up on everything until he showed up at her husbands party. The boy that died trying to protect her, the boy she loved with her whole heart, that boy was this man’s brother. The contempt on his face when he remembered who she was spoke volumes… Gaige hated her. He was the only one that could save her from her criminal husband, but would he?

    I love Elle. That chic is so beautifully broken. I think I cried at least ten times reading this book because of her thoughts, words, the struggle she had with herself and the guilt she was burdened with. I just wanted to grab her up and hug her close so I could keep her safe forever.

    Gaige is alpha to the max. And a pretty big a-hole. There were times when he made me want to toss my Kindle down and give up because his hard head would never stop being so stubborn. Then there are these moments where he is just the perfect dominant man. -le sigh-

    You’ll love this book from the very beginning and you’re going to be so sad when it’s over. Every one of the books by Angelini have made a little divot in my heart and I will forever carry some piece of the characters with me.

    Five emotionally driven stars and Five drenched panties for smut… this book has everything you’ll ever need in a book.

    Finally, a good balance between plot and sex! That was a significant failing of this series - so much so that I almost didn't buy this. The plot was good and the characters were likeable, but their motivations/behaviors weren't always credible.

    Gaige's anger at Elle was never rational - he knew she'd been kidnapped and his brother got shot because he was trying to save her. Getting kidnapped to be sold into sexual slavery isn't anybody's definition of a good time, so blaming her and being angry at her - especially when she had been so beloved by his whole family - made zero sense. There really was never any doubt he would rescue her. Fortunately, their insta-love was credible - he already had feeling for her from before.

    Aside from not being able to drive very well, Elle seemed to have no problems adjusting to life after having spent 10 years locked in a room being beaten and raped. A few nightmares was about it. Given that one of the most powerful and rich cartel leaders was looking for her, you'd think she'd have been a bit more jumpy and in need of some therapy. And while it was repeatedly explained how smart she was, given that she never finished high school, having her graduate from a top law school in the epilogue (which felt more like a few years later, not the 8 years it should have taken to finish HS, get a BA, and then a JD or LLD) seemed too perfect.

    This writer is vastly improving from her earlier work. The story was far more balanced, the sex was an enhancer rather than a distraction, and the characters were better drawn. I would recommend reading this book, even if you were disappointed in the prior 2 installments.

    Ten years ago, Elle was grabbed and kidnapped right in front of her boyfriend Carson, who was killed outside the van she was thrown into. Marco, a high ranking drugs and guns dealer, as well as human trafficker had forced her into the role of his wife. He beat, drugged and raped Elle often. She'd come close to giving up until the night she saw Gaige, Carson's bother walk in.

    Gaige has thought about his brother's death and Elle for years. He blamed her and dreamed of finding Elle and making her suffer the way his family had. Undercover as a secret agent, he gets a meeting with Marco in hopes of connecting him to crimes they are investigating. He can't believe his eyes when he sees Elle by Marco's side. His first impression is that she's now a spolied rich princess. But things she says and actions she takes soon have him realizing Elle is not there by choice. He decides he won't leave without her. His feelings however are mixed because he's been angry for so long, yet he feels protective of her now. When he sees the bruises, he knows taking her is the right decision.

    Gaige gets Elle out, but it won't be easy convincing her they can be happy. Guilt over Carson and Marco wanting her back keep you wondering what's going to happen next.

    I loved Gaige! He was a little messed up, but once he decided Elle would be his, he kept pushing her. Elle is strong woman to have lived through what she did. She has such a hard time getting past her love for Carson and the feelings she has for Gaige. She's confused and scared, but can't deny the safety she feels being with Gaige. They form a strong loving bond and you want them to get their happy ending.

    This story is a standalone told from both their POVs. Lily, who we met in Slade's book is next and I'm looking forward to seeing how she's survived her kidnapping and progressed.
