Written by Gabrielle Sally on 10th Jan 2017

DARK CAPTIVE: MANLOVE EDITION is a compilation of eight MM stories from some of our favorite BDSM authors. All of the stories have a centralized theme involving kidnapping and non-consent but what results is pure decadence as we are witness to some scintillating taboo scenes that will result in nothing less than a happily ever after. Granted, getting there is most of the fun. Described as dark erotica, some of the alphas in these stories are the type of men that chances are, when you see them, the hairs on the back of your neck rise and you suddenly want to be anywhere but here. Others would fit right in at a political fundraiser. They all have a bit of darkness in them and it's through the light in their submissive counterparts that reminds them that they're truly alive. To borrow from Doris O'Connor's story, All the men "simply oozed leashed aggression, and dominance" and that's exactly how we like it. LIKES: While the stories have generalized themes, they're unique. Each story is well told with incredible interactions between the two men. The respective internal dialogues helped to keep the stories moving and the intent clear. The interactions between the characters, particularly the battles of will (there are many) and the eventual coming around. The happily ever afters helped to soften the darkness in the stories. For those who enjoy stories with strong male characters, taboo BDSM, and scintillating interactions, this was a great read and admittedly, I devoured all of it. More, please. - See more at: http://glbt.theromancereviews.com/viewbooksreview.php?bookid=22169#sthash.VEHRh22Z.dpuf

Dark Captive Man Love Anthology by Various Authors
Written by Redz World Reviews on 6th Sep 2016

Dark Captive is a multi authored darker MM anthology with some rough and gritty stories inside. Ransomed by Doris O'Connor, Collecting his Debt by Angelique Voisen, I Love the Way You Hurt Me by James Cox, Shanghai by Pelaam, Taken by Michelle Graham, Get Off Hard by Lea Bronsen, Uninvited love by L.J. Longo, and Runner by Kai Tyler. All are really well written and well done stories. In this review I am going to pick out just a couple I liked as to not give away all the secrets inside of this anthology. Collecting His Debt by Angelique Voisen. Well I would read anything Ms. Voisen wrote so I can safely say I am a huge fangirl of hers. In this book we have Carter he is a very sweet character who has a darkness in him too. He is going into a trap and James cannot help himself he has to save him, but can he keep the man he loves? What kind of world could a rich boy and a cleaner be in love? I liked this one a lot it is gritty and rough. Just like James. I also liked the connection the characters have, that is what kept me reading and cheering. Very engaging and hot sex does not hurt either. The next story I would say for me stood out is a new to me author. Get Off Hard by Lea Bronsen. In this story we have two hot hockey players who cannot decide if they want to kill each other or well be between the sheets with each other. Their story has many layers to it. One is a rookie who has had a rough time of it. He needs to have faith again. The other is a pro who has a ton of past pain he is carrying around. These two could have had a much longer story, I did feel this short was just a beginning for them. Loved the connection and the whole story itself for this one. Over all this anthology is edgy and a little dark. But if you like your men rough and tough this is the anthology for you. Five Shooting Stars

Dark and Steamy
Written by undefined on 16th Jun 2016

Let me start off by saying that this book is a departure from my usual faire of books that I indulge in. I’m pretty much your male/female kinda gal, though I do enjoy male/male/female books depending on who is writing them. (i.e Tymber Dalton, Doris O’Connor ect.) So, it was because Doris had a story in this anthology that I grabbed a copy from her and took a bite. I wasn’t disappointed. Her story, Ransomed, A contract-for hire named Perry is given an assignment to kidnap Danvers O’Flynn, the golden boy senators son. But when he finds the engaged, soon-to-be-married man in a back alley in Soho, London giving blow jobs to undeserving men, he figures out pretty quickly Danny-boy isn’t what he thought he was. After a hot interlude between the two, Perry knocks him out and takes him home, where he ties him to his bed. There he decides to engage in some very hot D/s play while waiting to see if Danny’s father and future father-in-law paw the ransom. The story takes some surprising and not so surprising twists and turns from there, but I really enjoyed it. So much so, I decided to venture forth in the book and found I also liked Runner by Kai Tyler, Collecting His Debt by Angelique Voisen and Taken by Michelle Graham. The other authors, James Cox, Pelaam, Lea Bronsen, and L.J. Longo wrote equally juicy tales as well. They all did a rather great job at portraying the dark theme of the book and I can’t wait to read it’s male/female counterpart. But for those of you who enjoy a little darkness with your man loving. Dark Captive is it! 4 and a ½ Orgasms for the book, but a big ole 5 Orgasm shout out for Doris O’Connor’s Ransomed! 3 likes ·

Kimmer's Erotic Book Blog
Written by Lous on 1st Jun 2016

When I realized this anthology included a short story by Pelaam, my excitement level shot through the roof! I’ve been following Pelaam’s work for many years – even from her Literotica days. I remember lying in bed at age 16 reading her stories on my cell phone at night with the cover drawn over my head, and falling in love with her strong alpha men and distressed, dazzling twinks. So of course I was all over this anthology when it landed in my grubby little hands, and I totally enjoyed Shanghai by Pelaam. Dark Captive: Manlove Edition is an anthology with eight romance M/M stories. It is a fantastic collection of shorts, and a definite recommendation for those who like their erotica on the darker side. Story themes throughout the anthology include abduction, kidnapping, forced seduction, sexual slavery and BDSM – it basically describes 97% of my entire TBR list in tags. A special mention has to go out to Doris O’Connor, as I particularly enjoyed her story Ransomed. Be warned, however, this story includes themes of cheating, which I know is a trigger for many M/M readers. The main character Perry, a contract-for-hire, is charged with kidnapping a senator’s golden boy son, Danvers O’Flynn. Danvers is engaged to be married, but when Perry finds him in some dingy Soho back alley in London giving out blowjobs, he soon figures out that Danvers really isn’t the golden boy everyone thinks he is. After a hot encounter together, Perry knocks Danvers out and takes him back to his home where he ties his captive to the bed. What follows is a delicious array of D/s scenes that plays out while Perry waits to see if Danvers’ old man and future father-in-law come up with the ransom. The story takes some surprising and yet not surprising twists, but it’s well written, well executed and damn hot! Shout outs to the other authors in the anthology: Kai Tyler for the short but impactful Runner, Collecting His Debt by Angelique Voisen and the deliciously dark Taken by Michelle Graham. The other authors including Lea Bronsen, James Cox and L.J. Longo wrote equally juicy tales that will appeal to any dark erotica fan’s tastes. For those looking for a little darkness in their man on man loving, the Dark Captive: Manlove Edition anthology has it! A resounding 5 hearts for this collection. And I for one hope Evernight Publishing continues with this series in the future.

4 1/2 Stars for the first 2 stories!
Written by Kimmy T on 24th May 2016

I'm a Doris O'Connor fan on a good day! Throw in a M/M story that's well written with a couple twists, it becomes a great day! Her story, Ransomed, didn't seem like something I'd ever see her write, but she did a great job with it. Perry is that shadowy uncle that the family doesn't really talk about but he pops up at crazy times to remind you that he's around. His interactions with his Danny boy were a bit worrisome at the beginning but I love she tied it all up at the end. Angelique's Collector and Carter, sweet together from start to finish, with only a tiny hiccup in the middle. James, or Collector as he starts off, realizes a flaw in his plan and turns into a bit of a jerk. Otherwise, it was a smooth flowing story. The reason I took off a half star is because of repetitiveness. In the first three stories, it seemed to repeat a bit to me. I may be the only one that notices but I did notice. It doesn't take away from the individual stories but it is noticeable to me.

Short but oh so sexy
Written by Rhonda on 22nd May 2016

This was an awesome collection of short and dark stories and that me from the first. They are short and very sexy and left me wanting more of the stories. Maybe the authors will expand of them at some point. Either way, I loved them all and in the process found a few authors that were new to me, who I will be checking out. If you love dark and steamy MM books, grab this one!!
