When Stacy Martin arrives in New Orleans her plan is to sort through the mess her father left behind when he passed, get his affairs in order, and hopefully keep his business afloat... but that plan hits a little snag when she winds getting herself kidnapped. When a burly looking biker bursts into her life, and takes her captive, she has only has one thing on her mind, do whatever she can to keep her brother safe, even if it means playing nice with the enemy!

The way Troy Delance sees it kidnapping his prospect's sister is the perfect to way to exact his revenge for him taking Troy's sister, but his little plan hits a little road bump... he wasn't expecting the woman he kidnapped to be so gorgeous and so darn tempting. One look at her and things take a very heated turn; one that may blurry the lines, and cause his focus to falter, and that's something he just can't have!

Snatched is a steamy little page-turner that kept me up until the wee hours of the morning, once I got started I just could not put it down... it was downright addictive! This was my first experience with this authors work, and I have to say her well crafted words, and unforgettable characters lured me in and turned me into a fan. This one came baring many gifts; steamy moments to curl the toes, heart pounding action to keep you on your toes, and a few heartfelt moments to balance things out., it was a pleasing, well rounded tale! Highly recommend!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

I received a free ARC version of the book in exchange for a honest review. All opinions and critiques are my own.

I have issues with this book but still enjoyed it alot. We start the story out with Tory, aka a guy in the Slayer's motorcycle club. He kidnapped a prospect's sister as the prospect had disappeared with Tory's sister. So you get an eye for an eye here. Except the sister, Stacey, has a few medical issues. Eventually, they start to lust and fall in love with each other.

Overall, the storyline wasn't unique and I have definitely read better MC romances. The characters and plot felt one dimensional but still ok for a fun read. My biggest pet peeves, though, was at the end of the book there was a crime that was never resolved. It kinda acts as a cliffhanger that came out of nowhere.

I have always liked motorcycle romances. I liked this one but I didn’t love it. She seemed to worldly for him at such a young age. I looked the authors writing style though and would read more of her.

This is a steamy, sensual story, yes with lots of sex and it is a biker story and these guys are hard and can be very tough, they have names that are different, they really don’t like using their own names, but in this case Troy DeLance known as Beast has a heart a big one as he goes after his prospect’s sister Stacey for revenge and things are going to turn upside down for them both.

Stacey Martin is in New Orleans trying to sort out her father’s business after his death, Stacey has lived most of her life in New York with her Mum and Step-Dad, but she is determined to make something of her life and keep the business running, but of course life doesn’t always go to plan when her brother Brian (Animal) has done a runner with the daughter of the president of the biker club The Slayers, and she ends up in the hands of the gorgeous Beast, the enforcer from The Slayers.

Troy has returned from the middle east and is unsure where his future lies, but when his sister is kidnapped he goes out for revenge and taking another person’s sister for ransom is what he does, but he never thinks that his body will react to her the way it does, and as he gets to know her he realizes that it is not only her body he wants but this young woman is smart and classy and feisty. He takes on protective duty with her when there could be danger for her and their sex lives sends sparks through the universe.

MS Ross knows how to bring her characters to life on the pages not only with the steamy sex but with conversations that let us get to know them, and some lively arguments that lead to some sensual scenes, seeing their emotions and feeling them as these two strong people make their way to a HEA that has a lot of hurdles to cross making out with a biker is not always plain sailing, and meeting Beast’s pet was a bit hair-raising, if you are into erotic and moving stories then this is one for you.

I finished the book. Was disappointed though. Felt it needed more substance. Seems to be missing something.
I liked the storyline but it was a little hard to believe.

The beginning of the book really turned me off because I didn’t feel the H/h first sexual encounter was consensual. That right there really ruined the book for me. I felt that Troy/Beast pushed himself on Stacey and to me that is not alpha but more sexual assault. That is just my opinion and my interpretation of what I read. Others may not see if that way but that was how I read it. From that point on, I really couldn’t warm up to either of the characters. Stacey seemed to be a character that was supposed to be strong but wasn’t, and Troy was supposed to be kind but only thought with his manly bits. I think the book was just spoiled from the beginning for me. Not my cup of tea at all.

Troy DeLance will do anything to get his sister back after she disappears at the same time as Animal. So that’s why he is planning taking her as part of his revenge. Stacey is shocked when she is kidnapped but can’t fight her attraction to Beast. Exciting story. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I haven't read any books from this author and this was 2 1\2 stars in my book. Stacey inherited a business and I like her fire and her drive to be independent. Troy is in special forces and is home on leave with a choice to re-up after 10 years. Stacey stays strong throughout this read and the scenes are hot. I just didn't feel it. The angst and the worry and the love. Just didn't hit the mark. I did have to read in spurts because I could not get into it. The other characters seemed fun but there was nothing to go on regarding Lizzie and her brother Bryan. At least I think that was his name. Not very memorable, I just needed more and it to not feel so rushed. I liked that the woman had back bones and were not stepped all over!

I received this ARC from the publisher at my request for an honest review. Thanks Net Galley!!!

I was not a huge fan of this book. I found the main female character unbelievable unfortunately. And I like bad guys but I had to stop reading when he made her pass out cause of the alligator. I stopped about 30% in, I’m afraid because of the story line itself.

Well it wasn't a bad book, but it all about sex. So we have Troy who kidnaps Stacey as revenge or incentive to get his sister Lizzy back since it was Stacey's brother whom took her. They had instant lust. Then Troy betrays her by using her and hurting her to get to Brian (Animal) after they just had sex. I have to give it to Stacey because I thought I was going to just stop reading if she instantly jumped back in bed with him, and even though she did she kept bringing it up and reminding him that she didn't forgive just yet. Troy wasn't the type to have relationship he didn't have the time since he was in the military and about to re-up, but Stacey was the type of woman who could change that..I have read biker books before and even though some of them are crass I tend to enjoy them, and this one was just as crass as others in how they treated woman or as they call them club whores I could have done without them.

I liked some of the premise - the characters aren't bad but not as well developed as I would have liked.

There is a high level of sexy...but some of it just feels wrong. Overall this is a don't judge a book by it's cover type of romance.

This book will have you going insane one minute he is treating her like a gift and the next he is hanging her out for his gator to take her out. But She doesnt know that the gator is safe. He's trained. Their relationship grows and its a great read.

I received an arc from Netgalley. This book ended way too soon for me. A good storyline with lots of hot scenes. I am hoping we hear more of what happens to Lizzie soon.

Ok read, if you like lots and lots of sex this is your story. Very in your face at first. No cheating or dislike of the “hero.” Things were string out and then wrapped up in a hurry. The interesting parts didn’t get talked about and we never heard from his sister after the beginning of the book. It was ok read nothing outstanding from any other biker book.

Received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

I think I'm in love with Troy DeLance, seriously, Stacey is one lucky woman. I love them both though and they are so perfect together. He is a club enforcer, who is basically trying to save her brother from imminent death. She, on the other hand, is a city girl who comes from a rich family and is used to being pampered. They both have plans for their lives but fate has a different plan for them.
Troy doesn't want to do it but he has no choice. He must kidnap Stacey and make her brother pay for what he did, he doesn't believe in killing the man so this is next best solution. However, not everything goes as planned and he might end up hating himself before this whole ordeal is done with.
Stacey can't believe that the person who was so kind to her when her father died is now kidnapping her. She wants to hate him but is quite unable to do so. Because at the end of the day she understands him, his motivation, and his need to do everything he could for his family. Family is everything. And she needs to worry about hers. There is no way she would let anyone hurt her brother. So they are both at an impasse, something needs to change before they can work their relationship out.
It's a very well-written story, leaning towards dark romance, but it's not quite that. There are many sweet, heartwarming moments in there as well. All is all, it's a great read, well-paced and very interesting. I enjoyed reading it and would recommend to all romance lovers.

Snatched is my first book by author Cathleen Ross. This book was full of action, sex, and bikers- what more could you ask for!?!

Honestly I read a lot of MC books, so I went into this one not sure what to expect. But Cathless Ross really surprised me! This book was really good and I can't wait to read more from her and this series.

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.When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Cathleen Ross is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.

I really liked the premise of this book. I love back and forth bantering amongst the main characters. I like you, I cannot stand you, go away, I never want to see you, I love you. Troy and Stacey definitely have it going on. Also, the way she stood up to his friends and his father makes you want to stand up with her. Not one to take anything lying down. The story was a bit rushed and I thought it could have been fleshed out more. I could have read more. Overall it is a great, sweet (yes, I said sweet) story.
