Captive Prince, literally captivated me! this is amazing storytelling and I can honestly say I picked it up to read and did not put it down until both book 1 and book 2 were finished.....it was 5am, but I was hooked! These 2 books are FREE, yes, can you believe it, such a great story is free to read. The only down side is that there is no news on book 3 yet, however I have noticed that she will be publishing books 1 and 2 shortly in ebook and paperback, with added scenes, so 3 should not be too far behind and I would gladly pay good money for it.

We see this wonderful story unfold from Damen's perspective and it is full of political struggles, atrocious acts of violence and sex (these scenes are not graphic in nature), decadent entertainment, battles, intrigues and mysteries, but it all revolves around Power and the mind games and tactics of the players and pawns. You are constantly riveted to the action and unsure of the direction to which it will next take you. It is unpredictable and not a minute is wasted in this book.

Our two main characters Crown Prince Damianos of Akielos and Crown Prince Laurent of Rabat are pitched right in the middle of the unfolding events and action, they overcome their hatred of each other to tolerate one another and eventually to become friends and confidants. The sexual tension between these two leaves you constantly on the edge, to the point of frustration.......but Ooooh so worth the wait.

The story flows seamlessly and the world building is full of warring Kingdoms, beautiful landscapes and an array of colours, decadent buildings filled with opulence on a grand scale and beautiful people with adorned pets/sex slaves bedecked in gold and jewels. Ohhhh and the characters, easily recognised with their personalities and individual voices, my favourite being Laurant, so cool and aloof, with graceful beauty and an air of contempt, arrogant and nefarious in his actions, with each nuance and idiosyncrasy so clear in my minds eye...he is definitely an enigma.

This is a fabulous read, I loved it and I happily recommend it to all of my friends, well...those that have not already had the pleasure of reading it and are also waiting with baited breath for the next book!

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Thoughts on reading the new, published version:

Captive Prince Vol. I introduces us to Damen, captured prince of Akielos who is betrayed into slavery by his bastard brother and ends up in the hands of Laurent, the waspish and somewhat vicious prince of Vere, who has a deep and abiding hatred of all things Akielan. The setting is vaguely Mediterannean, with Akielos being somewhat analogous to Sparta and Vere being a kind of mashup of Ottoman Empire crossed with the 16th century French court. This...more

This is absolutely b-r-i-l-l-i-a-n-t in it's conception and execution. Such an immaculately woven tale with a b!tch of a cliffhanger at the end of Book 2.

Waiting for Book 3 is pretty close to driving me nuts and i've only just finished reading Book 2! But the way the story's been so far I think it might be worth the wait.

This is a work in progress, incomplete. Fair warning, because it's also marvelous, addictive, the kind of book that will knock you out and then suck you under and then - incomplete! - leave you hanging.

Sometimes, after a spate of books that are good but not quite good enough, I'll start wondering if I've lost the ability to be transported by a story. I'll think it's my fault. And then something like Captive Prince will come along and set the world right again.

Captive Prince is, indeed, the story of a captive prince: Damen. He's a Prince Charming type. Noble, goodhearted, gifted in manly pursuits like swordplay and military strategy. He's heir to the throne of Akeilos but, on the heels of his father's death, his bastard half-brother seizes the throne and sells Damen across the seas as a slave.

Damen ends up at the court of the Rabatian Prince, Laurent. Laurent is everything that Damen is not. He's devious, intellectual, distrustful, capricious, sly. At first he seems spoiled, petulant, and vicious - not just at first, really. But while Damen is an open book, Laurent is a maze, hard to know, hard to understand, hard to love (though eventually all three are inevitable).

Laurent is not a kind master to Damen; and, in fact, the early chapters are exquisite precisely because Damen and Laurent hate one another so much. But there's an openness and guilelessness about Damen that's deeply endearing, and his slavery forces him through a kind of culture clash. Damen pays attention. He listens. He begins to understand the Rabatians, and soon finds himself in the strange, unexpected position of defending Laurent. Faults and all.

I won't spoil the rest and I hesitate to pass judgement on a book that's not complete. Thus far, however, this is a story perfectly told. I mean, if you like this sort of tale - the power disparity, two opposites who fall in love through a world of pain - this is about as good as it gets.

I guess I'm going to be sitting around waiting for chapters now. Painful but, I can't help but think, totally worth it.(less)

Book #1

I don't know what I thought when I started reading this first part of ”Captive Prince #1”. This was atleast something else and I was totally engrossed in the story. Since I usually read and reviewing romances; I'd say directly, this is not a ordinary romance, it's maybe a sort of fantasy story with a M/M love story in it.

While I have the ebooks (worth it btw), I am entirely too lazy to split this review into Volumes 1 and 2.

I haven't met a book this frustrating since False Colors by Alex Beecroft, although unlike that book, I never felt tempted to pitch my Kindle across the room and scream on account of it. Well, maybe once, when I got to the end and realized that there was no more story, because I am not exaggerating, the way this unfolded is nothing less than textual brilliance.

It does help that none of my M/M pet peeves are present here. There’s no convenient character stupidity leading to ridiculous fights, which usually serve only to keep the MCs apart and bulk up the book in the process. Laurent and Damen don’t get along at first and for a long time afterward, and theirs is a long, difficult road plagued with cultural differences and lies of omission, but it’s the journey not the destination that seems to be important here. Although I will admit to getting just as, um, excited as anybody else round about Chapter 28 into 29, when there’s FINALLY that one scene that’s taken so long to get to.

And that’s another thing I liked about this book. There’s plenty of sex in it, but most of it’s off-page, between other people, and hinted at, which is a nice change from books that feel like gratuitous sex wrapped in the thinnest of stories. Not that there’s anything wrong with gratuitous sex if that’s your thing (and on occasion, it’s nice brain candy), but I’ve gotten rather tired of it lately, so finding something with a good, solid story and well-developed characters that just happens to include elements from my new favorite romance genre is entirely my kind of book.

On a side note, I've since started following the author on Twitter for my info fix, and happily, it looks like the editing for the PUBLISHED editions (with extras!) is moving along nicely (ETA 11/21/12: It's at the proofing stage! Squeeeeeee!). I just hope Book 3's either a part of them or in the very immediate vicinity of being finished, because this cliff edge is damned uncomfortable. *crosses fingers*

Damen, the rightful heir to the throne of Akielos, is betrayed by his half brother (Kastor). In a bid for the throne, Kastor captures Damen, strips him of his identity, and sends him to serve as a pleasure slave to Prince Laurent. Laurent epitomizes the worst of the court at Vere, previously an enemy nation to Akielos. Damen soon finds himself embroiled in the lethal political web of the the Verethian court. When an assassination attempt goes awry, Damen is left in the unlikely position of having to team up with Laurent to save Akielos.

Hmmmm. What to say, what to say. This is a gripping tale, full of intrigue. The storyline grabs you - if not right at the start, close thereto. About 20% of the way in, however, I nearly DNF'ed this sucker and the reason for that is one of my cautions with this book. There are certain themes in this book that the reader must be able to stomach: dub-con; non-con; inferences of pedophilia (although not specifically described, it remains an overarching theme throughout the book); torture; and graphic violence. Some of these are beyond my comfort zone and there were several instances where I seriously considered DNF'ing this book. But I didn't. I finished the book and I can honestly say I'm glad I did.

Damen was a little pompous in the beginning and I was irritated that he was a lackluster hero insofar as he ALWAYS seemed to be a little slow on the uptake, which inevitably rendered him a day late and a dollar short. Frankly I want more from my main man (I'm holding out hope that he'll improve in book 2). Laurent is an incredibly interesting character and I still don't know what to make of him. (view spoiler) The other players of the Verethian court are similarly robust characters that add depth and substance to Pacat's story.

So ... my advice?
1. Don't go into this book thinking it's an M/M romance. The series may be. (I am going to be incensed if it's not!) There's gotta be a love story in here some where (I'm sure of it!), but I can tell you in no uncertain terms that it wasn't in book one! Rather, book one hinted at a possibility of a future romantic relationship ... perhaps, maybe, kinda sorta but with less than a snowball's chance in hell. (Try hanging your hat on that!) I pray that something develops between Damen and (view spoiler). But it's too late for me to quit. That ship has sailed. I'm totally hooked on this series! I've invested too much to stop now so I need love to blossom somewhere soon, dammit!!!
2. Be prepared to enter a violent and twisted world filled with sex slaves and human "pets." Dub-con, non-con, inferences of pedophilia .... you get the drift?
3. If you can roll with it, this is an incredibly riveting tale. The writing is fantastic and the world Pacat creates is filled with mystery and intrigue. She spins a serious web and I, for one, got caught up in the magic of her story.

Bottom line: a compelling tale of another world where loyalties, liaisons, and betrayals rule the day. (less)

Wow, this book is pure gold! The plot, the characters, the writing... I don't think I can dig up anything I didn't like about this story. Maybe the beginning: the rotten decadence and lack of humanity of the Rabatian court and the fact that I couldn't find a character I liked (not even Damen, though he was the wronged party) made it hard for me to get into the first few chapters.

.... Wow! A-MAZ-ING! I think I could read this over and over and over again without getting bored.
This was nothing like what I was expecting and to be honest? I like it better this way. Freece is skilled. So very skilled! I love, love, love the characters and they've been developed so well! Everyone has their own distinct personality, which is something that many authors strive to achieve in their characters, so kudos to Freece for such a success. I think it's incredible especially how the author was able to create Laurent. Honestly, I would love to get in that head of his, just for a quick peek, because Freece paints him with such a manipulative and complex mind. Damen is also a great character and what I like most is that his experience makes him undergo a visible development in his personality and perspectives. So I loved the characters and their development. I also love that Freece used techniques to highlight certain qualities about a situation or person. There were hardly any issues with the writing, which is great. What amazed me the most though was the plot. It's very detailed and thought out. I was surprised at its depth and complexity. It kept me intrigued the entire time and every time I thought I had it figured out, Freece would throw out a new twist.
Awesome stuff Freece! I cannot praise you enough!

Overall: Loved it!
Downside: I got to the end of Book 2 and the 3rd one isn't online yet! This is going to torture me! Please come out soon Book 3!
Oh, and one of the greatest, most fantabulous, super, fantastic, awesome parts of this book, is there isn't a sex scene every three paragraphs! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!! I can say with absolute one hundred gazillion, trillion, bazillion percent, that this is a book with real plot! Not sex with a tiny strand of plot in between. This book is the real deal people.
