Captive Heart

Captive Series, Book 3

By: Stella Gray

Narrated by: Aaron Shedlock, Stephanie Rose

Nothing lasts forever...except the Bellanti’s hatred for the Bruno family.

My family prepared me to fight.

My best friend taught me loyalty.

My husband showed me who I am.

And now I’m caught between them all.

The thing about secrets is that they always come out.

The past is never gone.

No one expected it to explode.

I finally understand why my life led me here.

I was the only one who could uncover the truth.

And I’m damn sure I’m the only one who can prevent a war.

Men have pushed me around my whole life.

But I was built for this.... I am Mrs. Armani Bellanti.

Explosive Finale!

Stella Gray finished things off hot and strong! The twists knocked me off my feet! I mean she brought it with Captive Heart! I would’ve like to see a little more of Armani and Candi’s relationship after everything settled but overall I loved the way everything tied together in the end.

Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Rose absolutely did their thing with fiery performance fitting for a mafia romance!

Wonderful conclusion!!!

The conclusion to this family saga was PHENOMENAL!!! I am so in love with Candi and Armani! They were beyond fantastic. I love thier back and forth.... how Candi grew into her own strength, how Armani softened up a whole lot! This trilogy just hit the spot. Stella Gray has turned me into a fangirl! I am so excited to look into her other works (especially the rest of the Bellanti brothers!)

And the narration was so on point! I was pulled into this story so far that I didnt even want to try to find my way out! I was so sad to see thier story come to an end, but I am really excited to see if there is more to come from this wold!

WoW

I will have to say this whole series with all 3 brothers is one of my favorite. They had it ALL with just the right amount suspense, story line and romance. Great job by the author and the narrator’s

What a conclusion!

This is final book in Armani Bellanti’s trilogy. It went by quicker than I anticipated but nonetheless consuming. The performers slayed and gave us a finale that deserves praise. The couples sent me on a ride was full of twists and turns. The push and pull, the tension, the angst… this isn’t a story that delivers an instant hea. The author puts us through a whirlwind of emotions before we get to that point. Overall, the narrating was superb and I think the narrators were perfect for Armani and Candi’s journey. Bravo.

Excellent series

I’m a big fan of Stella Gray books and this book did not disappoint. Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Rose both did an excellent job as narrators. The plot kept me engaged with the storyline and all of the unanswered questions in the two previous books were all answered. Well worth listening to. I can’t wait for more books to come out.

What a conclusion to this series

I mean wow, I was truly on edge through this book. I am amazed at how all the pieces came together and the final conclusion was a bit shocking to me. I was so invested in this couple of Candi and Armani so seeing it through to the end was beautiful to listen to it all unfold. There were so many details finally coming out of the woodwork built into this series. What a beautiful conclusion.
Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Rose did an amazing job bringing these characters through their story. I would listen to more of their work.

Strong women and strong men!

I loved all three books!
Thank you for sharing your talent! Can’t wait for more of your books on Audible. I’ll be looking forward to reading them!

🖤🖤🖤

This series had me on a rollercoaster of emotions. After the cliffhangers in book 1 and 2 I was so ready to dive into this. I was gifted the audio series and I have to say I really enjoyed the narrators. The book itself was good as well. Kept me on the edge pretty much every book. The banter, chemistry, spice and more! So good. It was intense. But I enjoyed it. Definitely recommend.

Last in Trilogy

This is the last in the trilogy and it was my least favorite. While it wrapped up Armani and Candi’s story, it sort of went on a tangent but was also too short?

I haven’t read/listened to any of the other Bellanti books, so I will definitely be getting some!!!

The ending this entire series needed

This was the most satisfying ending to both this trilogy and also to the Bellanti series as a whole. Candi really stepped up and I loved how she uncovered a mystery that the Bellanti brothers didn’t even know was hidden all this time. I also loved how Stella made me really fall for Candi and Armani’s love story, and also finally like Juliana, Candi’s bestie. Armani really is such a piece of work and in the end, I loved him too. It took him such a long time to realize he loved Candi. He’s so calculated and always tries to stay one step ahead, but love isn’t like that so it’s such a triumph for the reader when Armani finally gives in. Stubborn man.

I really love how this series finished all tied up with a pretty ribbon. The war with the Brunos is over and the bad guys all got their karmic payback. I loved how Armani was willing to sacrifice it all for everyone else. He’s the guy you love and also hate because he tries to do right by his family but is also so focused on protecting his family, his choices are very gray at times. But in the end, I loved how Candi put her foot down and saved him from himself a bit.

It was a sweet ending to a series that needed a sweet ending… well a sweet ending with a bit of danger, sacrifice, and the perfect retribution for past wrongs. In audio, the trilogy was a treat and Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Rose were perfect for Armani and Candi. I loved how each trilogy was its own story and then also connected together in this bingable series.
