I won this book through goodread's first reads program. I thoroughly enjoyed Captive Heart. At first I thought the pace was a little slow but looking back I believe I thought this due to the fact that the book starts off with a mystery. Sarah is being held captive, she is in much pain, doesn't know where she is, who has taken her and to top it off she is devastated by the loss of her young son at the hands of the Native Americans that have taken her. We, the readers, have to go along at Sarah's pace as she puts this puzzle together and that is what gave me the slow feeling. I wanted to know and I wanted to know now!
All in all I found this book captivating. The lines between good and evil, friend and enemy are constantly blurred. Sarah finds herself heartbroken, scared and devastated time and time again while her faith is tested and she tries to navigate herself into the unknown. The is a great story of love and loss and even love again and (if you are a believer) hope that there is a plan for you and faith will see you through. Wonderful

“Sometimes, for revenge to be as sweet and painful as it is intended, some time has to pass. Time enough that people have forgotten about past hurts and humiliations. Time enough to make the poison of bitterness consume a soul. It was to be that time...
Two worlds collide and find a common link. A plan was made, a price was paid and revenge was set in motion.”
