Holiday Abduction, #6

Vhyl is First Impression

set in 3rd person Captive Queen tells the historic tale of Eleanor of Aquitaine, who is trapped in a unhappy marriage to Louis VII, king of France. 

She is frustrated and has committed adultery with 2 people one Geoffrey, count of Anjou, who is presenting his son, Henry to the French court.

Both her and Henry seem to share an instant attraction to each other, desperate for an annulment from the King she urges the Abbott again to persuade the King to agree.

My Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Eleanor of Aquitaine and Louis VII have shared a 14 year unhappy marriage and at 29 she has reached an impasse especially when she sees Henry FitzEmpress who sets off a wanton rush through her.

After a shared night of passion they make a marriage promise to each other. 

Eleanor pleads with the King himself in an effort to complete her promise. Once her annulment is declared she returns home and follows through with her promise.

To me Henry seems nothing more than a child "Henry lost control and, throwing himself on the floor, rolled around telling bloodcurdling oaths before finally falling quiet and grinding his teeth on the rushed strewn over the flagstones."

I wholeheartedly recommend reading Captive Queen it is a informative and rewarding experience. An amazing insight into the past dated from 1151 all the way through to 1204.

artifact, but when he lands on the forbidden barbarian planet known as Earth, he finds more than expected. An attractive human female is in possession of the priceless object, and she agrees to hand it over - for a price.

Apparently she doesn't know of his reputation...or doesn't care.

Intrigued by her fearless nature - and her luscious brown skin - this acquisition expert can't resist stealing a kiss. But before he can take more, his enemy arrived to stake a claim.

It seems Vhyl isn't the only one interested in Jilly's treasure - or Jilly herself. On the run not only from earth forces but his enemies too, they must fight to survive and evade capture.

However, he can't escape the effect the human has on him.

In the end, Vhyl has to make a choice - Jolly or the priceless treasure he came for.

First Impression

Jilly is a relatable character as she is a hard-worker, but struggling with financial security. That is until a treasure lands in her front yard.

Vhyl is a mercenary bad boy...

My Rating ⭐⭐⭐

From the minute Vhyl and Jilly met there is a chemistry between them. 

When Jilly's home is destroyed as Vhyl and his enemy are after xiix, a rare treasure. They both go to a hotel in efforts to his but with the FBI and Vhyl's enemy hot on their trail will they be ok?

I would recommend reading Holiday Abduction as it has some very entertaining scenes even if it is a short story.
