“4 stars. This sci-fi romance has a Little bit of everything for everybody; gorgeous, powerfully built men, beautiful, full-figured women, an alien planet with warrior women, adventure, excitement and hot steamy love scenes. An enticing story full of characters so real they seem to jump off the page.”

“LOVE'S CAPTIVE had me captivated from the very beginning. I actually snarled at my family and ignored my cat, not wanting any distractions to pull me away from the planet Volarn and its people. Combining s/f with fantasy and romance, Myra Nour has written an exciting, action-packed story. The descriptions of the alien planet, the characters, and even their "pets" are so vividly described that readers will be able to clearly picture them in their minds. The love scenes are somewhat steamy, but tastefully done. I'm definitely hooked on this series and anxiously awaiting the 2nd book, which will feature the warrior Kasha. Congratulations, Ms. Nour, you have written a keeper!”

“LOVE'S CAPTIVE is a fantastic voyage to a magical planet where the men are handsome, the women are beautiful, but all is not well. Not only are the women barren, but the enemy has been taunting them along their borders, and daily skirmishes threaten the seemingly peaceful atmosphere. Ms. Nour has created a fabulous world with its own traditions, language, and even an extra sun and moon. Her detailed descriptions of fabric, flora, fauna, and the intricacies of the Volarnian culture show an amazing and fantastic imagination. And I can't omit the sizzling sparks that fly between Serena and her dashing king. Brave and bold, she is, nevertheless, a woman, and Rhamus is one awesome man! Beautifully written, with characters that demand your undivided attention, LOVE'S CAPTIVE cannot be missed!”

“Magic, space travel, fantastical creatures, an intriguing storyline, lovely romance.”

“Serena (a 6'2" female wrestler - there's a unique romance heroine!) and 99 other women have been abducted by aliens and taken to Volarn, a planet whose population is dying off because many of the women are infertile. The Volarnians have determined that Earthlings are physically and genetically compatible with them. This first 'test case' shipment of Earth women will reveal whether they can produce Volarnian babies. The alien captors made an effort to select only women who had no close family or friends on Earth, therefore serving the dual purpose of making their disappearance less noticeable and making it easier on the women to give up their old lives. Now it's up to the women to adjust and make new lives for themselves on Volarn.

“This book stayed in my hand through phone calls, dinner time, and past bedtime. I didn't put it down until finishing it at 2 a.m. -- a wonderful, intriguing story and characters. I really liked Rhamus, the hero. There were a few points early in the relationship where he was the obnoxious alpha -- you know, just laugh at the Little woman rather than take her seriously, because he knows that as soon as he kisses her she'll just melt and forgive him anything. But overall the hero is a caring male, communicates well, admits his mistakes, and shows real concern for the heroine's happiness.The 'world' the author created was an interesting mix of medieval-type culture exposed to futuristic technology. A society trying to get the best from both. The society has basic equality between men and women, women can even be warriors. There is the "destined" aspect of selecting mates, which is a plot device I enjoy. Ms. Nour's version is especially good because it is explained that the 'Tarthra' selects mates who are compatible and can love each other, but is not some magic guarantee of life-long bliss. The man and woman still have to work out their relationship and will still have the normal disagreements and problems as any couple.

“It has magic, space travel, fantastical creatures and an intriguing storyline with interesting and realistic characters. I am looking forward to the sequel, HEART OF THE DRAGON.”

"Serena is an incredible heroine with so many wonderful hidden secrets..."

… All of this was well worth reading as we learn about Volarn's culture and then the unthinkable happens; Serena is kidnapped by the enemy! What the enemy puts Serena though is horrific and I really admire authors that are able to create absolutely well written scenes rather than taking an easy out. Also, the events leading to Serena's recovery were well thought out, and I think very original. Ms Nour has created a situation where Serena has to discover that the emotions she has held locked deep with-in herself about her husband and even her past effect her present and future. LOVE'S CAPTIVE has thoroughly engaging secondary characters with Kasha and Jarvic and I'm really excited to know that they have their own stories.

“A heavenly read! Exciting! I did not think this one would be all that great. Females kidnapped for breeding of aliens is a well-known plot. However, Myra Nour has succeeded in creating a series to change my mind! I grew fond of several characters, I hear Princess Kasha will get her own story. I hope Jarvic does too! I shudder at the thought of what the Volarnians have as pets. In fact, I refuse to give it away. Readers, if you Futuristic Romances or Fantasy Romances, then this one is a MUST! I highly recommend it!”

“Myra Nour has taken the elements of science fiction, fantasy and romance, blended them into a seamless tale that keeps you turning the pages. Intense, sensuous love scenes, misunderstandings and characters you'll want to get to know better. Laughter, tears, emotional scenes to give you chills. Myra has a wonderful grasp of imagery, pulling the reader into the story and the beautiful magical world of Volarn, leaving you wanting more.”

“Myra has painted a fascinating world for Volarn, with its beauty, uniqueness but also a civil war. Her characters are very well portrayed, and I found myself thinking about Serena and Rhamus long after I finished reading the story each day. Love's Captive has a Little of everything - s/f, fantasy and lots of romance. Myra Nour writes a wonderful relationship, including some pretty hot love scenes. While I don't rate books, I would say that Love's Captive was a wonderful introduction to the world of futuristic romance!”

“Love's Captive by Myra Nour is mesmerizing. The Volarnians are desperately trying to keep their race from extinction and will go to any means to accomplish their goal. Including capturing Earth women and transporting them to their planet. Serena, enchanted by her new husband, the king, soon finds herself loving the people and trying to bring other Earth women and Volarnians under one law. Close you eyes and you'll be able to see the breath taking sunsets and hear the amazing Konkols sing their nightly songs as you read Love's Captive. A Story Only Found In Dreams. Watch for the sequels. Once you've read Love's Captive, you'll want to know what happens next.”

Rating - 3 hearts (4 heart rating system) A good read, an author to watch out for.

“A great story which portrays very well another planet similar to Earth but still vastly different. A good read with very likeable characters, even the kidnappers. I look forward to reading the sequels.”

“A delightful and sexy space romp will leave you feeling that love really does conquer all”

“A most enjoyable read! Once I started it, I was unable to put it down. Ms. Nour's characters came to life within the pages of this delightful and sexy space romp. Earth women are abducted and taken to the Planet Volarn, a planet where most of its female population is sterile. Serena is one of the females kidnapped and is immediately chosen by King Rhamus to be his Queen. (Loved how the choosing was done!) The interaction between Serena and the Rhamus throughout the story is priceless. Not to mention some pretty sizzling love scenes. This story will leave you feeling that love really does conquer all. King Rhamus is a true Alpha male, 7 feet tall, thick black hair, rippling muscles and violet eyes *swoon* (Take me to your leader!) and to top it off he has a gentle heart. He knows right away that he loves Serena but will Serena give herself the chance to return this gentle giant's love? Or will she attempt to return to earth?Ms. Nour has built a strong cast of secondary characters as well. They are well developed, and I'm hoping to hear more about them in the future. Serena's friend Nicole is a hoot! This is the first book that I have read from this author and the first book in the Volarn Trilogy, and I eagerly await more from her. Certainly will remain on my "Keeper" shelf. I highly recommend Love's Captive.”

“As a reviewer, I must admit that I am not a big reader of science fiction/romance. However, once I started reading this book I found it delightfully entertaining. It was an easy read with good character development, just the right touch of humor and a plot that flows nicely. And even better, this is the first in a trilogy so there will be more trips to Volarn and their special world.”

Author, Myra Nour, is a talented force to be reckoned with in the Romance field. She creates strong and admirable characters, a story that is filled with danger, excitement and adventure.
