Stay (A Captor/Captive Romance)

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Micah has one rule: he doesn’t kill people. Instead, he buries bodies sent to him by his brother out on a plot of nowhere in Oregon, where his only neighbors are a kennel full of working dogs that he has spent years training himself. Quiet is the only thing he’s ever really wanted, but that changes when a woman steps out of the treeline with a dead phone and a broken-down Camry, right as he’s putting the shovel down. Stevie came to Oregon to disappear. Turns out that’s easier to arrange than she thought. Much to her disbelief, Micah’s not going to hurt her. But he’s not going to let her leave, either. He only knows one way to handle something scared, broken, and worth keeping—and that’s by training her. TROPES: - Captor/captive - dubious consent - forced proximity - kidnapping romance - morally grey hero - obsession - praise kink - pet play - power exchange

DO NOT READ IF ANY OF THESE ARE NOT FOR YOU.

- abduction

- captor/captive romance

- dubious consent

- attempted sexual assault (not by MMC)

- physical restraint

- collar and leash use

- cage and kennel imprisonment

- forced compliance

- conditioning

- bondage

Also, dogs are a major part of this book, but rest assured: No dogs die.

Plenty of humans do—but we don’t really mind that.

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
