Do you enjoy a mingling of S/F and romance in your stories? Come take an exciting journey through this action-packed tale filled with sword & sorcery, crystal powers, unicorns and legendary dragons. There's plenty of S/F & fantasy elements for those who like such, and enough romantic fore play and steamy sex to brighten the romance lovers' heart. In the tradition of Robert E. Howard &; Edgar Rice Burroughs, who first peaked the author's reading interest, the handsome men in Love's Captive are warriors and "larger than life", the women strong and beautiful and the planet Volarn, teeming with strange, exotic creatures.
What would you do if your people faced extinction due to depopulation because of war? King Rhamus chooses to have captured Earth women brought to Volarn for mates. Serena, a beautiful woman with fighting abilities, is chosen as Rhamus' Queen.
Travel with Rhamus and Serena through: vast cultural differences; Serena's confrontations with Kasha( Rhamus' stubborn warrior sister); Rhamus' X-lover's betrayal; Xarath, Rhamus' hated enemy, the king of west Volarn, who managed to capture Serena and used the dark powers of the crystal on her; Rhamus' killing of the fiercesome beast, the quamus; Serena's emotional pain due to her kidnapping; and Rhamus and Serena's journey to the elders (the wisest & most powerful of the sorcerers), who cure Serena's fears and pain through mind melding.
Since the author loves happy endings, Serena & Rhamus do learn to live and love together in harmony, yet that's but the first ending. Peace must ensue planet wide before Volarn's tale is complete. Travel further into this saga through the second book, Dragon Love, and the 3rd, Barbarian Love.
