Hannah Connolly is an indentured British maid who has become the reluctant property of a Japanese brothel. Hannah refuses to accept what some would consider destiny. The lifestyle her mother attempted to save her from is now embedded in Hannah’s existence. Standing in the brothel’s window for all to see, Hannah is unwilling to allow her spirit to be dampened and decides to make lemonade out of the lemons that life has presented her with. She gives the gawkers a show they’ll never forget.

Samurai Sanada Katsuhiro is captivated by the young woman on display. Hannah is unlike the woman of his country with her fire-red hair and lush curves. Katsu is sure that she would be worthy of bedding and takes Hannah home. What he doesn’t expect is the reaction his best friend and sometimes lover Masato has to the new addition.

Samurai Captive is an enchanting story that takes place around 1863. Barbara Sheridan easily transported me to this era with her vivid descriptions of the people and scenery. Hannah is a strong and determined beauty who has graduated with honors from the school of hard knocks. Katsu is a fearless and handsome samurai who is pushed to discover Hannah’s true worth. I enjoyed watching Hannah wear holes in Katsu’s resolve with subtle gestures of love. Samurai Captive was my introduction to Barbara Sheridan, and a must read for those who enjoy multicultural historical erotica incorporated with a touch of suspense and action. Barbara, you should be elated with this fantastic novel!
