While reading this book, I found myself amazed by how much ground the author managed to cover in less than two hundred pages. Camille's quest for love, Aegis' pursuit for revenge, and Jaxon's hunt for his greatest desire were seamlessly intertwined among fast-paced action sequences and HAWT love scenes. The scenes and sexual tension between the men and later with Camille practically burned up the screen of my reader. With additional topics such as prejudice, rejection, jealousy, and magic thrown in for good measure, there was never a dull moment from beginning to end! While it took awhile to become accustomed to the story's shifting perspectives, I admit I understood each character's motivation and growth better than if presented from one point of view. However, I consider Camille's transformation from a naive breeder to a tough bad-ass chick to be the greatest surprise of all. I've lost count of the number of books where the heroine is a helpless victim through the entire book, and was delighted to see that this book defied my stereo-typical expectations. In retrospect, Capturing Camille seemed like part Star Trek episode and a Shakespearean comedy, but realistically captured the best of both worlds. While this was my first time reading this author's work, it DEFINITELY won't be my last!
