See all formats and editions

She was meant to be an innocent pawn in a treacherous game.

My father’s prisoner—a young woman naive enough to believe I’d be her knight in shining armor.

But I’m no hero.

I am the real villain.

She's bound to me, not just as my captive but as the cure for my only weakness.
Now, I’m unstoppable and my dominance over the most formidable cartel syndicate in Colombia is strengthened.

Carina might think our forced arrangement has an expiration date, but she underestimates the power of my obsession with her.

I will bend her to my will.
Her defiance will have consequences.

Fans of captive, forced proximity, and enemies to lovers tropes will devour book one in the dark SOUZA CARTEL series by USA Today bestselling author Autumn Archer.

Review

This is my first Autumn Archer book and it most definitely will not be my last. She writes an intensely fast paced forced proximity dark romance packed full of twists, betrayals, secrets and lies and a whole bunch more.

This is Tomas and Carina’s rollercoaster ride of a story. These two both have experienced great trauma in their lives. Carina has faced so much and has not let it break her. When she is found covered in his fathers blood she finds herself once again a prisoner. But the connection and chemistry between these two changes circumstances. Their story is dark and intense and an absolute must read.

Seriously can’t wait to read more of Autumn Archers books. This was a fantastic read and I highly recommend it!!

Spoilers below.

I'm so glad that I drove right into this book. I enjoyed Tomas's use of regional tigers in obtaining truth from potential enemies. I loved that Carina is the key to Tomas not losing himself to his personal demons when his hands are covered in blood. How she brought Tomas back to himself the first time, in his bathroom was really hot. Their chemistry and sexual attraction was very well portrayed. The author conveys the small details that enhance the story, the physical descriptions of the characters and their specific habits. I'm so rooting for Tomas to get over his fear of Carina being seen as a weakness and bring her into his mafia infused family and at his side. His struggle with duty and his responsibilities to his familia vs. listening to his heart, it's a completely new concept for him to consider. Now that Carina knows about his upcoming marriage that Tomas completely omitted, I can see her running and possibly being captured in the duet.

Really good story line and strong development of characters! I’ve really enjoyed the chemistry between Tomas and carina! The support of the side characters and plot twist at the end adds further appeal for this book.

Carina is young naive and honestly a little midge of annoying doing things she naturally shouldn’t do. The book is fantastic though it did make me take breaks due to conflicts or even things the FMC or MMC would do. I’m starting the second book but maybe I’ll enjoy it a bit more once the dots fully connect!

Good book, but!

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2023

This a really good story and loved reading it. Spoiler alert. I had a couple issues with it. The first one was she never learns a lesson not to wonder off by herself because she gets hurt every time she does. Also, the book is unnecessarily wordy . It could have been like a 100 pages shorter. I had to skip through a lot of internal dialogue that made reading the book boring at times!

Well I didn’t see where this was a cliffhanger, which I guess I should have researched more. I wasn’t a fan of the h’s stubbornness at times she shouldn’t have been, she definitely acts her age.

When I say I love this book I mean I love this book, and I doesn't hurt that I'm picturing the exact guy on the cover as Tomas. The story is amazing and the development of the characters perfect... all I can say is you have to read these books heading into bk 2 and I can't wait❤️❤️

Tomas and Carina will singe the pages as you read. Admittedly, a few chapters less of her whining about wanting him would have been just fine…the story is undoubtably a page turner. Read it in one night. The family, the wars, the broken souls all make this amazing read.

This is book one of the Hostile duet. In order to understand more about how the characters Tomas and Carina meet, I would advise reading the Hostile Heart first. Carina is young but for someone her age she has suffered more than most 19 yr old, she is finding her way in the world but has demons. One demon in particular is Tomas, although he’s mafia he also has been through a lot in his life. Carina is his calmness in a Hostile world. Their chemistry is scorching hot, neither want to admit to their feelings as it’s dangerous for both of them in different ways. This book has drama, very dark romance, trust issues and so many twists and turns you’ll get whiplash! . Ends on a cliffhanger and there’s a bit of a wait for book two but so worth it. I am captivated by these characters and Miss Archers style of writing. On a side note I need to get me some Tequila 😜

Hoping Carina is stronger in the next book, the never-ending self doubt is a little annoying. That said, I still enjoyed the story overall.
