Fervent: An Enemies To Lovers Captive Romance (Condemned Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

No warning. No mercy. No way out.

The men holding us prisoner won’t stop until they’ve destroyed Rafe for something he has no memory of, and I’m their weapon of choice. Tortured and defiled, they make me wish I were back in that cabin where death was favorable to drawing another breath, but this time our captors can’t break what’s already broken.

What scares me is the madness I see festering inside the only man I’ve ever loved. I’ve taken his freedom, his career, and his reputation. Yet despite all I’ve done, he’s determined to fight for me, kill for me, give everything he is for me…

He’ll even die for me.

NOTE TO READERS: Fervent is a dark romance with kidnapping and other disturbing themes. Intended for mature readers. Not for the faint of heart. You’ve been warned. Part 3 in the Condemned series.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an intriguing and captivating story!

Fervent was extremely intense and full of all kinds of chaos and debauchery. Rafe and Alex are caught in a very complicated web of lies and deceit, with other characters showing who they really are underneath all their refined and uptight lifestyle.
Jax has shocked me with his role in these stories, I knew something was up with him, but I could never have imagined how this played out!
But that ending was upsetting, Rafe cannot possibly believe that this is the right thing to do when it comes to him and Alex's relationship.
I need more and off to read Vagrant!

I liked the plot development a lot in this one. I was shocked by some of the events. Still love Rafe except his decisions in the end. I feel like these characters are on a never ending cycle of betrayal, love, and leaving each other. Alex was good in this book too. She's been through so much and she's still standing. I still think Nikki and Will are/were so random. Sort of glad part of that seems to be over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Erotic, dark, and heady
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2017

This is the third book in the Condemned series by Gemma James. And they are all worth buying. I bought this series all at one time and the first three all end in what could be called cliffhangers, leading into the fourth and final book. This is a dark, seductive story and it isn't for everyone. If you acknowledge that life isn't all rainbows and jelly beans, this series won't bore you in the least. I loved this book, as I did the first two. Rafe and Alex fight to overcome all the actions that threaten them and they do so in a dark, deviant world. I would not recommend this book to everyone, but those who love dark, deviant, erotic stories should enjoy this immensely.

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2015

Kidnapped, violated and abused, Alex and Rafe seem to be in a hopeless situation. Taken by a man that has played a role in each of their pasts, unknowingly or not, revenge is a primary motivator. As the days drag on and the torture increases, the situation only becomes more dire.

With more plot twists and shocking moments than the earlier two books in this series, this was one ride to remember! I can't say much without giving something away. Just trust me. If you're a fan of this series, you'll want to read this book. This one does end with another cliffhanger, so if you haven't started the series, you may want to wait until they're all out.

I keep thinking I'm going to get to that 4 star level, but again, I'm left really unsure of this read. I'm not even sure what a review can offer at this point, either you are committed to the series or you aren't. It's worth the read, it is good, but I'm really conflicted over a lot of aspects. Dark....yes. Definitely very dark, but to say 'dark romance with disturbing scenes' isn't quite accurate for me. I get what 'non-consensual' means, but don't sugar coat it; this book should come with the disclaimer of RAPE...over and over RAPE. With that said, book three was a little more organized for me than #2. It was a bit easier to get back into the story line and figure out who’s who. I’m not sure what else they can do to Alex, I’m not sure how she is still alive. Suspended disbelief. That’s all I can think. I just can’t help but feel like this whole story would have been just as good, if not better, with a few less violent scenes and a bit more on how it is Alex is able to endure all this. According to my calculations, she should have bled to death by now. I never could get a handle on why it is she needs Rafe to hurt her. The stuff with Zach in book one was horrid, but how that need is acquired and how it is transferred to Rafe required a stronger connection for me to move forward with the love angle. I’m also struggling with how many times Rafe has lost his memory. 2 or 3 or more? Jax hints that it was a regular occurrence because of concussions? That makes sense, but now I have to go back and try to insert that into the history of the story. Again, I’m working hard as a reader because I feel like this series is on the edge of being great. And then Rafe abandons her. This time very intentionally. It just doesn’t make sense to me. If anything, he should be running back to her. And WTF was all that with Nikki? The whole thing with her having Rafe’s son, and fling with Jax (who is gay?) and then getting kidnapped and killed? Again, jumbled, disconnected, but for some reason, I just keep reading. On to book 4.

Holy Crap! I did not see that coming! I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out how they were going to get out of there. Jax surprised me and I didnt like it. When they got out I was so happy, they were finally going to be together. Finally going to start to heal each other. Then BAM another cliffhanger and I absolutely didnt like this one. UGH Lets just say I will be on edge until I can read the next one in 3 months! Thats too long. I have never read anything by this author but she's fantastic and I know in the future I wont hesitate to buy something of hers!

No disappointment here ... well to the very last line of the book ... when Gemma did what she does best ... leaves you hanging and begging for more. The ultimate thing I enjoy so much about Gemma's writing style is that she can capture you quickly, keep you interested, and leave you begging for more. I'm anxious to see how she will end Rafe and Alex's story. How much more can these two suffer and still survive? Will their love survive or will there broken, break them? Will their darkness consume them and leave them so far apart from each other they can never make it back to being one?

Are they ever going to get there happy ever after. Things never seen to go right for these two.
It bright light to things that most wouldn't think about how it isn't just women that can be abused but even men.
An incredible story of hardship. Don't read if you get uncomfortable with hard topics such as abuse this one won't be for you

Oh my giddy aunt! This for me has been the saddest in the series so far. Although at times it's hard to read the harrowing parts, it is however compulsive and intelligent reading. The characters are flawed and don't understand what compels their needs but they are very likable characters. I'm new to Gemma James and I have to say I am now a huge fan. I would highly recommend this series.
