A Dark Captive Romance (Rose and Thorn Book 1) - Blood Red Rose

Ohh dark and depraved and so tasty. This book, this series is definitely not for everyone but for those who don’t mind a bit of darkness in some of their reads this is absolutely a must read. My one complaint I could have done with a bit more Thorn but I am hoping to see more of him in the following two books. Definitely one click worthy.

This book is a dark twisted emotional read. Thorn has taken Harlow aka Rose to break her and make her his. Harlow is strong, a fighter she won't allow anyone to break her spirit. Thorn wants to do exactly that (break her) and will do anything he has to achieve this. But will Thorn go to far? This is a must read if you like twisted and dark romance. I voluntarily received an advance readers copy through Booksprout for an honest review.

Wow, what a fantastic dark, dark, read this is!! This story is packed with action, mystery, humour, and is a twisted, torturous tale about obsession. No spoilers from me though; this is a must read for all dark story lovers out there, you will never be disappointed by this author. In my opinion this story is worth so much more than the 5 allowed, and I cannot wait to read the second book in this amazing series!

OMG, This book is intense!! Sweet Harlow,18 years old and a ballerina striving for success has attracted the attention of Reuben. Reuben wants her and takes her. This story is crazy dark full of dominance and sexual scenes. Will Reuben break Harlow? Will Harlow give Reuben a run for his money? Stay tuned!!

omg well I wasn't expecting that! what an amazing story , blush pink rose really only tickled the darkness of this story , blood red rose really dives in but I'm dying to delve even deeper and find out more at first I didn't like thorn but I'm now conflicted about him, this is an absolute must read if you like the darker reads or if your dipping your toe in for the first time

This book was sad. I can’t believe anyone would give this 5 stars. The girl Harlow was kidnapped and raped! Repeatedly! It was a horrible read. Would not recommend. I didn’t particularly care for Thorn either. He has his friend rape her over and over. There is not one redeeming quality to this book. Should have been listed under horror!

“My obsession with making her love me... It was insane. It was the desire of a man man, yet one I couldn’t let go of.” ~ Thorn

This is a 3 part series and a prequel and the first book sucks you in and doesn’t let you go. My heart breaks for everything that Harlow goes through and even though I should hate Thorn I don’t. A great dark read. Can’t wait to read more.

Harlows goes from her greatest triumph to what begins as her worst nightmare. The training reminds me of the feeling you get while reading 'The Story of O'. Thorn watches her training through cameras. Neither he nor Harlow fully aware there are other forces working against them. If you like dark & dirty, this book has it. I can't wait for the next book.

This series is fantastic so far 5 stars defiantly!!!! It’s a dark read One that i think you should try because i guarantee you will be addicted. I loved everything about this story and can’t say enough good things with out spoiling the story. Just one click and enjoy as much as i did! Can’t wait for the next book! I am voluntarily leaving this review.

I enjoyed Harlo's spirit and will to escape. They say people fall for their captors but this was just too brutal,I have no idea how she could possibly think she enjoys being treated this way and fall for the captor so quickly.it's just a little much that after all that was done to her she's taking it with a grain of salt

Another hit in the story of Harlow and Thorn. Harlow is on her way with her ballet dancing until she is kidnapped one night by Thorn. Thorn never breaks rules but he has an obsession with Harlow. A truly dark read that may not be for everyone but I enjoyed it.

This dark romance read is unlike any other that I have read. Blood Red Rose will truly take you through a variety of emotions from anger to sadness and shock. There are so many layers to the story and I can’t wait to find out the mystery of it all. Can’t wait for the rest of the series. ***I voluntarily read and reviewed this as an ARC***

This is definitely a dark read. Fawn Bailey can write these dark stories so well that I get absorbed into her stories. Harlow and Thorn obviously have that love/hate Relationship which is expected. But as you read you learn they both have some issues of their own. This was a good read and if you like a dark read this is one I recommend.

Not what I expected after Blush Pink Rose. I didn't expect so much of this story to not involve Thorn, not directly anyway. I have quite a few questions that I hope will be answered in the next two books. Harlow/Rose is a very interesting character that I didn't think would evolve as much as she did. Ready for what's next.

Dark, twisted, and totally engaging are the only words to describe Blood Red Rose. Books are my only foray into darker side of lust, obsession, ownership, and love. This book totally immerses you in this world. Thorn and Harlow are phenomenal and the chemistry in the book was off the charts! Patiently waiting the next book!

If you love dark romances - then you will love this. It follows a young dancer and a man that is so infatuated with her that he takes her. Not going to go any further because you just need to read it!! Waiting on the next part!

This book, is definitely a dark read.
...adhere to the warnings, this book is not for everyone..

She is a dancer, who has been taken..
... this story gives you an insight of how she becomes Rose.

The more you read, the more you learn.
...her strength, her will, then her submission..

This book was really good. I defiantly recommend reading the prequel for a full understanding of the story. It did have some super dark parts and I cried more than once but it was a great dark romance.

This was an incredibly good story. Extremely dark, but I can't wait for the next book. I took off a star because the writing was a little convoluted and the storyline difficult to follow at times. I'm not sure if there's a purpose to that and it will be revealed later on, or not. Time will tell.

Brilliant start to a very dark and twisted trilogy of kidnapping and turning a girl into a sex slave. My kind of book. Beware as there are triggers. Thank goodness I waited until the series was finished so I could dive right into the next installment.

I really liked how the story started out,her excited about her dance performance and how happy she was and bam taken in the night and being abused over and over.I just don't know if she will ever be happy again.

When I read the prequel, I was really enthusiastic about this book.
I was surprised about parts of the plot, which is always good, but it is as if something is missing. The dual POV really helps to understand the dynamics of the personalities’ changes from the beginning to the end, but sometimes it becomes long.
Although I had mixed feelings about it in the prequel, I absolutely enjoyed how Carina’s character was written.
