4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not one of her best...reader from the Norfolk UK 27 July 2001
By Avid Reader
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a good story but not one of Amanda's best.. futuristic romance set in a far off land. Captured Rebel.. must endure pain and humiliation they have given him a number and taken away his name, his home, his family... but they couldn't take hope.. Ashlynne went to him and washing his wounds... treating him with care and giving him the will to go on... there starts and adventure and the eventual freedom.. Good story with plenty of excitment.. but I much prefer Amanda's vampire novels best.. still a good piece of entertainment.. and worth buying a copy

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reading -- like Stars Wars with romance 22 Oct 2004
By SusieQ - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I'm not ordinarily a reader of paranormal, or futuristic/sci-fi romance novels. I generally read historical or contemporary romance. But this one really caught and held my interest. Referring to the other reviewers, I agree that, yes, Falkon the hero could really have grabbed that controller sooner, and yes, Ashlynne the heroine was a spoiled little rich-girl who treats the enslaved Falkon badly in the beginning...

But the author takes the time to explain why things are the way they are (Falkon is unwillingly attracted to Ashlynne from the beginning, though he hates himself for this - so maybe subconsciously, he doesn't mind so much, being in her 'control'?), and, Ashlynne is made to suffer for being the spoiled little rich-girl she is, about halfway through the story, so I don't understand why other reviewers got down on her so much. I thought the eventual love story between Ashlynne & Falkon was tender; particularly once Ashlynne started to show her intelligence and be less of a spoiled little girl. I loved the hero's change of heart from revenge to forgiveness. This story moved quickly but not at the expense of character development.

I thought I wouldn't like a futuristic romance like THE CAPTIVE, but if I could find a few others like this, I'd like to read more.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save Your Money.... 2 Mar 2000
By Dawn Plummer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book was a Big disappointment. The Heroine "Ashlynne" is one of the MOST infuriating, spoiled and obnoxious person I've ever read...if you like books with spoiled little girls, them you might like this one.

Falkon is a salve on her planet and lucky for Ashlynne he gets to work on the grounds around her house. Ashlynne follows him around like a bored 8 year old! Falkon wears a slave collar and Ashlynne has a controller, if Falkon doesn't do what Ashlynne wants or if she becomes "upset" she engages the controller and electrocutes Falkon, who drop to the ground writhing in agony.

Falkon gets my "To Stupid to Live" award, he has chances to get the controller away from her but doesn't. Maybe it's all the lost brain cells from the electrocutions. I really wanted to like this book, but it's just that bad!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book! 12 April 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Amanda Ashley has introduced me to whole new world of romance novels! I've never cared much for sci-fi books, especially in romance. But after the first few pages I was hooked! Action packed all the way and a wonderful ending to a beautiful story! READERS BEWARE: If you can't stand a main character being an obnoxious, stuck up, spoiled brat then this may not be the book for you. Just a warning!
