Single Dad's Hostage: A Fake Marriage Romance

Written by Penelope Bloom

Narrated by Minnie Atwood and William LeRoy

Getting kidnapped isn’t so bad.
At least, it’s not when your captor is a billionaire with a huge… heart.
He saved me from my abusive ex-boyfriend when I couldn’t get away.
Now he owns me, and he wants to get engaged.
The only problem is, my ex isn’t letting me go so easily.

Dean Sharp is breathtakingly gorgeous, arrogant, and an asshole. At least that’s my first impression when he knocks out my abusive boyfriend.

When we get home, I know my boyfriend’s going to make me pay for what Dean did.

But Dean Sharp isn’t done meddling in my life. Not even close.

He grabs me from outside my motel, throws me in his car, and says I’m his hostage. He doesn’t want money, though. What he does want is the last thing I would’ve ever expected.

He wants me to pretend to be his fiancée so his daughter and brothers don’t suspect anything. And he says he won’t let me go until he’s sure I’ll never go back to my abusive boyfriend.

The thought of crossing my boyfriend terrifies me, and I’ve spent the last two years trying not to even think of what he’d do if I left. He owns me.

At least he did until Dean Sharp stepped into my world. He saved me from my abusive relationship, and now he wants to give me something even bigger: an enormous diamond ring. How can a girl say no to that?

**This is a full-length, standalone fake marriage romance. No cheating or cliffhangers, and as always, Happily Ever After guaranteed.

Reviews for Single Dad's Hostage

[Ashante Williams · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Camille & Dean): TRIGGER: Domestic Violence. Assault. So this book took an unexpected turn… a few times. So Camille is in an abusive relationship and Dean happens to be there to see it. He actually steps in to stop it. Cool. I like that. But then she leaves with the boyfriend and he just decides to follow them. Stalker much? When he offers to keep her safe, she refuses… SO HE JUST TAKES HER???? WTF? Who does that? That was so unrealistic I don't even think Lifetime could make a movie work out of that. Then he asks his hostage to "play" fiance for the sake of his daughter. Umm… ok. If I ignore the whole hostage situation then I really can like this book. Of course, the boyfriend is psychotic and not happy, and there lies the drama. Weirdly it's still an insta romance so I guess… if you want to think of that as cheating you can but, you should definitely read the book before you decide. The hostage situation was an extremely loose term, more like an intervention. I loved her best friend…and the little girl, they were the comedic relief of the book. I also enjoyed that Camille was able to learn what "real love" looks like.

Nice story, all the things I like in a story and more.

Had potential but was rushed and lacked depth. Too bad.

This book was so disjointed, didn't flow well for me. The plot was okay, definitely needed to suspend belief. Maybe it was the voice actors, but it just didn't work. Also, Jen acted far too mature for the age the author gave her. It was very strange.
