Snatched was a really fun, quick and sexy read. It was a fantastic opposites attract MC read that had heart and sass and was full of hot sexy times. Troy and Stacey were fantastic together and I was hooked on every word! 

When Stacey is kidnapped by Troy Delance, the Slayers MC Enforcer, in an act of retaliation for a crime committed against his MC, she immediately has a sizzling connection with the broody and surly man. I loved her sass and the way she gave as good as she got. While the banter was fiery and the sexytimes were scorching, I did feel like the story was rushed at times and felt like we were just thrown into the story. All in all though, this was a great read and I look forward to reading more in this series!

I would like to thank Netgalley and Entangled for an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. Bravo! 4 stars! ~Ratula

This is the first time in reading this author with the story description calling to me. Imagine getting snatched and each has their own agenda. This one started out intriguing with after the first few pages had me past that stage.
Troy and Stacey each have their own with their reasons for doing what they do. Curiosity has you following their story to see where this could go. The chemistry is one that begins with you also paying attention to that. Drama created by others also begins to seep into this with the elements building. Talk about hot this one will burn at times with it being consuming though at times.
All in all it was a quick read for me with enjoying the characters.

Troy/Beast was spying on Stacey for payback. Troy was gonna grab Stacey until her brother Animal.Brian brought back Troy’s sister Lizzy. She had been missing for two days her apartment was a mess there had been a struggle there. Troy belonged to the Slayers MC and he was the enforcer. His father was Razor and he was the President. He was getting a hardon and he was on the club business. Stacey was more like a siren then a virgin. Both he and Animal was a prospect for the Slayer MC. So it didn’t matter Animal’s half sister jolted him like a slug from a gun. Troy had met Stacey two weeks ago when he did a favor and got cancer drugs for her and Animal’s dad his cancer drugs. Her dad had since passes away. Beast was his club name and it fit him to a T. It didn’t matter he was going to grab the girl and trade her for Lizzy. He fingered the gun on his hip. Animal’s betrayal of their friendship by snatching Troy’s own younger sister Lizzy and making her his sex toy. Animal deserved a slow, torturous beating- if not worse. The M C didn’t hold with unnecessary violence since Razor and then the club started making money legitimately no more illegal businesses. Troy had brought Animal in so it was up to him to fix the problem. First he had to draw the jerk -Animal- out from where he was hiding. Animal and Stacey were close so Troy had to use her to get his sister back hen beat the hell out of him. So taking Stacey would get Lizzy back. And animal would get Stacey back. Troy was gonna wait another twenty four hours but then changed his mind and took her that night. Troy had recently returned from a three month mission with the U S Army Ranger Corp. and Troy hadn’t slept with a woman and Troy wanted to have sex with Stacey but not one blonde hair would be touched. Animal had told Troy Stacy's mom was a trust fund N Y socialite-a much different world then Troy came from and had no interest in. That type of girl had to have more than mindless sex which was all Troy would be interested in. Aimal had been warned by the MC Animal . Stacey had asthma and it didn't like New Orleans humidity one little bit Stacey always had her inhaler close by. Stacy and Brian/Animal had inherited their father's ailing car and motorcycle parts business and she needed her brother at the store. She made a promise to their dad to get the business back on track. Stacey was determined to get to the bottom of the thefts plaguing the little shop. There wasn’t much Troy didn’t know about kidnapping, fighting and killing thanks to special ops in the Army.But Troy would never knowingly hurt a woman. After he had Stacey and ws driving to the cabin in the swamp Troy noticed Stacey was fighting for every breathe. He stopped the car and asked her what was wrong and he took the tape off her mouth she said asthma inhaler and he stopped and he stopped and broke into a pharmacy and got her what she needed locking the door back up with no alarms alerted. Troy figured he would only have Stacey with him a few days before the swap would be made. But the cabin was hard to find and difficult for strangers to navigate. He and Stacey would never be disturbed. Troy told Stacey Lizzy had been kidnapped by her brother as Lizzy was newly engaged and would never leave like that. Stacey attracted him in a way like no other woman had ever done. Which met Troy had to be careful. Troy had wanted to go to college but his father insisted he follow family tradition so Troy enlisted. The mechanics training the Army gave him there was nothing he couldn’t install or fix. Troy decided not to reup after this tour of duty was over he had already seen and done way to much in his special ops missions. Troy didn’t do attachment of any kind for any length of time.
I loved this book. I loved Troy and Stacey together and how they interacted together and how fiesty Stacey was It took me two settings to read this book as I didn’t want to put it down. I loved how Troy was determined to protect Stacey even from his MC and his father. I loved t when Razor said nothing would happen to Animal as long as Lizzy returned. This was a good MC read it was easy yet had just enough drama and romance in it. I loved Troy had been in the Army for ten years even though I didn’t care for he had to do once he joined the Rangers team after the first four years and other men in the Slayers had been in the service. I loved Razor got all the clubs business legit and didn’t want a lot of violence. I happily couldn’t find anything to criticize in this book. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book. I highly recommend it.

I love a MC club book i like the gritty alpha males and the danger and thrill the MC club and the romance provides. This time i was left wanting with this book, the story seems fragmented and did not hold me as much as i wanted it to. Plenty of sexy times in the story give it the hotness factor but by not connecting with the story they felt a bit abstract to the story. Never read this author before but for fans of her work i have a feeling they will enjoy it, myself i may pick up some of her other books at sometime in the future

Club Enforcer Troy DeLance is hellbent on revenge—eye-for-an-eye and all that—so he kidnaps his prospect's sister as payback for a betrayal. If he has to tie Stacey Martin to his bed to make sure she stays, so be it. All the better if she likes it.

Stacey will do anything to save her brother. Even if it means surrendering in ways she never imagined to her beastly kidnapper. But as their relationship heats up neither realizes that someone else is plotting a far more deadly payback...

Review:

I am having a hard time with this one. There are parts are really liked and some that were just okay. You have a stubborn heroine and a very old school, biker, alpha male. It was not a very long story and flowed at a pretty good pace. I liked both Troy and Stacey, both were very appealing. There was lots of sexy scenes. Again, I just can't put my finger on why this was just okay for me, but it just needed something else to grab me and make me love it.

Tough one to review. I really like the premise of the story. A kidnapping to revenge a kidnapping. Troy and Stacey are interesting characters and they definitely have chemistry. Problem was the story just didn't flow well. It seemed to jump from topic to topic and had an overall rushed feel to it. There were also holes in the story with some things left unresolved. I found that surprising coming from such an experienced author.

This was just an ok read for me. The premise of the story was good...sister for a sister, biker revenge, then they fall for each other. The sex was steamy, Troy and Stacey had good chemistry. ARC provided by publisher and Netgalley.

This is the first book I've read from this author. Overall, it was good. But I found myself disinterested at times. I'm still trying to process if it was just me in a funk or if I just couldn't get in to the story. Hmmmm....

Troy, aka Beast, is pissed. His prospect has disappeared along with his sister who was set to get married to another MC member. Everything about the disappearance is fishy and he doesn't like it. What better way to get his sister back than an eye for an eye, right? Time to kidnap the prospects sister and do a swap. Easy peazy.

Stacey is stressed. Her father just died from cancer two weeks ago, leaving the company business to her and her half brother to run. But there's something wrong with the business. Inventory is missing and the books don't match. Add in the fact that her brother has gone MIA and she's all alone trying to figure things out. Great. What else can go wrong?

Although I understand the snatch and the necessary measures to solve a MC issue, I found this to be a little over the top on the lust/love at first sight. Then you add in the necessary measures Troy has to put in place to keep her safe (yes, the irony of being kidnapped) and things just started to go...eh for me. The story was there, but the substance just wasn't for me. See...this is why I say I'm not sure if I was in a mood or not while reading this. Argh...

Bottom line, it still kept my turning the pages and leaving me curious enough to pick up the next one in the series.

3.5⭐
This was a good, quick, easy read. That I did for the most part find engaging. However, I did feel there was something missing with this story. And I at least got the impression from the first couple of chapters that Snatched was part of a series......Which it isn't.
I also found it hard to connect with the story and the characters, particularly Troy. Who I really wanted to like. As I love an asshole, but Troy seemed to take assholeness to a whole new level and unfortunately I couldn't really find any redeeming features in him. Plus, there is a lot of sex in this story. Which for me is never a bad thing. But in this case it just seemed to take over everything else. But if you like your MC romances with guys who are pros at the old treat them mean to keep them keen routine. Then you should certainly check this book out.

This story starts with a betrayal, what are you going to do when tryout sister is kidnapped by your mc brother. You snatched his. This story is hot and the chemistry between the characters is very schorching.

I was given this ARC from netgalley to give you an honest review.

Cathleen Ross does an excellent job of given Stacey and Troy a non-traditional biker story. It is a lovely story where two worlds meet and form a perfect union. Troy is struggling with all the death and destruction he has seen and participated in while carrying out his military duty. He is also deeply entrenched in the MC brotherhood. Stacey is the child of a NY socialite who is running away from the life her mother has plotted for her. Despite these differences there hearts are drawn to each other and make perfect union.

I read this book in one sitting it was that good. In the beginning you meet Troy, he is a patched member of the Slayers MC. He is spying on his intended target Stacey. She has the unfortunate good luck to have a brother who as a prospect to the Slayers, took one of the ladies from the club. A protected lady at that. When Troy sets up the grab and to get information things get moving fast. Troy is the bad boy who every woman would love. The image, the attitude and the power. I received this book as an arc through Netgalley but I will be purchasing it as well.

Thank you NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for letting me read Snatched by Cathleen Ross.

My first time reading that author, glad I did!

What would you do if you were kidnapped? Be scared, try to run away, hope for the best... What if the guy was handsome, not to say hot? And just looking at him made you melt?
Troy's sister is missing, he's sure one of his prospects took her so he wants revenge and snatches his sister. An eye for an eye after all, or a girl for a girl... And he wants her to "have a good time" too, she tries to resist but her body has a mind of its own as soon as he helps her in the shower...

4 stars. Good story, interesting.

Mixed thoughts on this one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the first story I read by this author. The synopsis sounded good and I was in the mood for something different.

This book had some positive aspects and then some issues too.

One of the problems that I had was the fact that the story bounced around and it was sometimes hard to follow. It even seemed at one point that it was a part of a series because you would get bits and pieces of story throughout randomly. Sounded like the author made it up as she went instead of planning out her storyline.

Throughout the first half to 3/4 of the story everything just seemed patched together and several times I thought about just not reading any further. Then it would improve and by the end of the story it actually flowed a whole lot better.

This was supposed to be a love-hate relationship since it starts with a kidnapping. However Stacey is bouncing all over the place and actually likes him so she was OK with being kidnapped, it seemed. Anything for her brother, who we never met except over the phone.

There is also a crime in the book towards the end that never got answered or addressed completely and that was kind of annoying me. Plus, there are inconsistencies that would pop up, like her age. Frustrating.

On a positive note, the author can write very hot scenes and she was very descriptive in that aspect. For me that’s pretty much what saved the book and made it worthwhile. Troy is a sex on a stick and definitely the main reason to pick up this story.

A fast paced story, with plenty of sex, drama and a hot alpha male, a stubborn female and the story revolves around the old you time mine, I'll take yours.
All Troy aka the Beast wants is for his younger sister to be safe and to come home. Convinced she's been kidnapped by a pledge to the bike club, Troy is sent to take Stacey his sister in exchange for safe return of his sister. He kidnaps her at night from her bed and takes her to a remote cabin in the swamp. Troy is still on leave from the military spec ops and deciding whether or not to reenlist. Stacey doesn't have a clue where her brother is or anything about his sister. She just got there to Louisiana to help her brother salvage their father's business. He's just passed away and she hasn't even been able to get into the office yet to see what's going on. She doesn't go willingly and puts up a fight even once she gets there. Troy is a little taken with Stacey, washing her clean when she ends up in the bog, he doesn't trust her and yet she seems so innocent. Threatening her by hanging her over his pet alligator gets his sister to call him where he gets the story about why she ran off willingly, how Stacey's brother has been nothing but nice helping her and refuses to come home and she'll call her mother in a few days when she's had time to calm down. Her mother, meaning their mother, and their father is the leader of the bike club. Pa and Georgia couldn't be more different. Pa is a typical older biker and Georgia is a true southern woman. When one of the club members makes a threat against Stacey to get the info out of her and get the daughter home, Troy makes it known, she belongs to him. The guy is a real pig and his name works, Hawg. Meanwhile, Stacey is getting a handle on her father's business, the two employees are less than cooperative and things are adding up, someone is stealing. Things come to a head before she tells Troy. Meanwhile again, Troy explains to Stacey that in order to protect her, they have to appear as a couple. There are a few who remain skeptical and Troy can't emphasize enough that things have to look real. So they go ring shopping. She has Mom and Pa over for dinner... the whole nine yards. That is when they aren't getting busy which is about every other page at least. Never thought I'd say too much sex, but this was a little OTT for me, but it fit seemed to fit Troy's persona. Stacey I wasn't sure about. Nonetheless, it's a quick read.
It's got it's good points and Troy is funny at times. I liked Stacey. The woman had a backbone. These days that seems to be getting harder and harder to find in a book. Along with a killer cover which this one has!

This is a first time author for me and she gave me everything I want and expect in a biker read; lots of down and dirty sex, a totally badass biker who also happens to be in the military and the son of the club President, and the club who know how to work and party hard. Troy was a true alpha with a mission and that was to kidnap Stacey so that he could do an exchange with his prospect, Animal/Brian who has gone rouge and taken his sister with no word as to where they are. All Troy wants is to get Lizzie back home and then Stacey can be released. Stacey couldn’t believe the man that once helped her and her family out could actually kidnap her making demands and threatening to throw her to the alligators.

There is a lot at play in Snatched from the closed off biker to a woman who not only wants to stand on her own but wants control over her life. Hmm, control over a biker? I’m not sure how that will work especially if he has the upper hand. I’m hoping that there is more to come on The Slayer’s MC.

The synopsis of the book really intrigued me and I was anxious to read this one. Within the first 15% of the book, I was disappointed with how all over the place the heroine was. The whole time they're at the cabin I had whiplash, especially the bathtub scene. I never grew to like the heroine. I did like the hero a little and that gave me hope. I was confused by the VPs relationship with the H's mother and he irritated me how he always had to have a comment - is he protective of his brothers, is he supposed to be humorous, is he jealous, is he a badass? I did finish the book and liked how the father came around. This one just wasn't for me.

A great read with a great storyline and characters. I can't wait to read more from this author. I will definitely recommend this book.
