Castile Family #1
Captured
Luna has a knack for always ending up in over her head. From the clown school fiasco to the near torching of her sister’s restaurant, Luna’s work history has been a string of bad luck. She’s back on her feet with a new private investigator job which only requires her to look up credit reports and take the occasional photo. What could possibly go wrong?
Answer: Falling for the man you’re hired to investigate.
Maddox Castile knows he’s being stalked but after he gets a good look at the spy, he’s thrilled. He opens his curtains, takes long strolls for lunch, and makes sure that his new friend doesn’t get arrested for following him around. The real problem is that she’s not making any moves. What will it take?
Answer: Doing a little stalking of his own.
Luna may have thought she was the hunter, but in the end, she’s the one captured.

This authors work reminds me of Alexa Riley ‘s work. The story is a quick, insta-love short novella. My only complaint with this particular story was that it was silly at times. The basic storyline is the heroine begins stalking Maddox ( our hero), and when they accidentally bump into one another, he immediately falls in love with her and proceeds to stalk her. I just felt that it would have been better if he at least talked to her a bit before falling in love!😂
I was looking for a quick read though and it definitely hit the bill for that! I do enjoy Ella Goode’s work for when I am wanting a low angst read with some hot sex thrown in!

Cute couple!
This was adorable! It’s a quick novella that is light and fun. You gotta suspend belief with this one but I don’t even care. I really enjoyed how Maddox handled everything with Luna. This is a great read if you need to decompress.

Luna has had many different jobs from clown to pizza delivery now shes a PI.. let me just say she's kinda of a mess and clumsy lol and well she is bad at being a PI when the target knows he's being followed and turns it around Maddox is loving his spy failing at spying so he offers her a job for her to spy better on him.. he doesn't care since Luna is going to be his even if he is hiding the fact he knows shes a PI.. he just trying to find out who hired her, Maddox is a funny, sweet protective OTT kinda guy and i did enjoy him.

"Captured" is the story of Luna and Maddox.
A sweet love story between a naive and adorable hot mess of a heroine and the alpha hero whom she is asked to stalk, but instead ends up falling in love with. There are laugh out loud moments, some reverse obsession, and a few good lovemaking scenes too.
Enjoyed it.

Luna is still trying to find her place in the world, and that's what led to her trying her hand at being a private investigator...and the love of her life. She's been hired to follow Maddox Castle, but all she sees is a man that does nothing but work.
Maddox knows he's being stalked, and he loves every second of it...aside from the part where she keeps her distance. Taking matters into his own hands, he offers Luna a job, and she sees it as a win-win - she can continue to watch him for her client and spend time with him.
Of course, the two begin to fall in love, a fate neither can resist nor do they want to, but Luna is doubting what it all means, not to mention the fact she'll be failing at yet another job. But when forever is in your grasp, does that really matter?
One-click now and follow along as two people meet under false pretenses but find a love that's real.

This is probably my favorite book by this author. It had me laughing throughout the entire book.
Luna is just a hot mess. She can't find what she is good at and she has tried everything. From delivering pizzas, clown school, and even singing telegrams, all of which she has been fired. Her most recent 'adventure' is becoming a PI. She has been hired to follow Maddox, what she didn't expect for this job to completely change her life.
Maddox knows that he is being followed by his angel and he can't help but fall in love with her. He has been trying to draw her out and figure out who hired her. When he has his opportunity to get close to her, what better way to keep her close than to hire her for himself. What could possibly go wrong with that??
-safe read
-h is a virgin
-no talk about H sexual history
-slight ow drama from his actual stalker
-would have like more of an epilogue. only a few months out.

OTT...... a total insta-love situation......so sweet and amusing.......just a little bit stalkerish......but...it is certainly a very fun and sexy read.👍
I really liked the two sisters Luna and MJ and I am currently picking up book two "Kept" for the rest of MJ's story. 💝

Luna ha estado saltando entre trabajos intentando encontrar su propósito en la vida. Su último trabajo? Investigadora privada. Pero este trabajo se convierte algo más cuando es descubierta por su objetivo, solo que ella no sabe que hace tiempo que el la descubrió y que aunque finge no conocerla, tiene un archivo con todo lo importante sobre ella. Ahora, lo único que Maddox tiene que hacer es conseguir que Luna se case con él.
El libro es cortito y la historia genial. Hay un poquito de drama pero nada, osea que tampoco te fastidia el libro ni hay separación ni nada. Es solo que aunque me ha gustado mucho siento que me ha faltado algo. Pero creo que soy yo, que últimamente los libros no me llenan así que...
P.D: que mal va goodreads de androide últimamente. Entro en la carpeta de leyendo y me aparecía el libro pero voy para poner en ya he terminado de leerlo y no me sale 🤦🏻♀️ de verdad que cada día va peor.

This by far is my absolute favourite book by this author, it's a super fast read but it grabs you right from the start.
Luna has done it all, job wise that is. She just hasn't found her thing yet. Her sister MJ who practically raised her tells her this constantly. Ps: I love MJ! Anyway her current job is as a PI and she has had Maddox Castile under surveillance for weeks. She is so utterly clueless she has no idea that he is on to her.
Maddox can't help but notice the angel who has been following him. Far from being alarmed he's in love. And as soon as he can pin down his little stalker he will. A ring and baby is all he can think about. With her.
Get ready for laughter, intrigue and sexy times.
This story is a keeper and I know I will re-read it!

Luna has been hired to get the dirt on billionaire Maddox Castile. This is Luna's newest attempt to find her calling, she wouldn't say she was necessarily good at it but she is going to give it her best try.
Maddox knows Luna is following him but is not sure who hired her. Maddox knows Luna is going to be his wife, now he needs to convince Luna that her efforts are futile in doing her job and that Maddox is her future.
This was a lot of fun. I enjoyed Luna, she is quirky and a breath of fresh air. Maddox is a charmer and you are turning the pages to see how this couple gets together.

Waiting on Too Many by Alexa Riley, I have grabbed this little beauty. Can we just take a second and appreciate the fact that the girl Ella has chosen for this cover is sexy AF? And no, I'm not gay, but I do appreciate goddesses. ;)
'I can’t find a fault. Wait. I did hear him say something about not liking cream cheese. When I looked at him like he was crazy he told me that I could eat his cream cheese. That’s how he went back to being perfect again.'
This must be a 3rd or 4th story I have read that was written by this lovely author, and I believe I have found the characteristics that she uses for her heroines. So far, they all seem silly, clumsy, innocent, and totally clueless about the world. They need to be shown; they need to be guided, which is not a bad thing when you have such an alpha hero as we did in this novella. They are like lost lambs that are waiting for their shepherds to find them and guide them in the world.
The story was sweet, short, and to the point. I think I am a fan now even if it's so similar to my favorite authors Alexa Riley and Fiona Davenport. I just appreciate the fact that the hero was so hot with his possession over little Luna and cover luna was so sweet that she was forgiven the biggest cringest of the plot.

Cute - smutty short reads.
Clumsy - quirky h is tasked to spy on our billionaire H. She thinks she is unnoticed but actually he set his mind to make her his from the start 😀
A nice tale of an over-the-top possessive/protective Alpha getting what he wants.
Good for a one time reading.

3.75 Insta-love stars...
New author for me and I have to say I enjoyed her style! These kind of books are absolutely great if you don't have a ton of time to invest in a life consuming novel that you know is going to be on your brain every second you can't read it. I'll get back to those again one of these days, but these types of reads are great craving satisfiers :)
Fun story! Very insta - Everything but you expect that going in.. at least you should :)

Luna and Maddox
She’s a failure as a PI just like all the other professions she’s tried. Maddox spotted her on her first day tailing him. He was immediately smitten. It became a case of who was stalking whom.
Very short love at first sight story

Good
I enjoyed this story. It was quick and sweet and I loved how devoted Maddox was of Luna. He was a super sweet guy.
I just wish we had a little more background information on him and maybe a bit more about Luna too.
Safety and Spoilers
Completely safe. I’m guessing H has been celibate a long time, there is nothing really mentioned about his past and h is a virgin. No om drama and a bit of ow drama. Ow is obsessed with him but he has no idea who she is. No abuse.

Luna is a prime example of follow your dreams until you find the one that is perfect for you. She has had many jobs and not many have panned out like she hoped it would. But she knew that she could make it
work with the PI work she has started doing. Now she just has to find a way to make sure that she gets the info her employer wants without her target seeing her.
Maddox couldn’t help but enjoy the sight that he saw from when he was walking outside of his office. He knew this girl was watching him and he wanted nothing more than for her to be his. His plan to make her his assistant is just the first step to making that beautiful woman his forever.
I absolutely love everything that Ella has written that I have read and this is by no means an exception! I absolutely loved these characters and the insta-love that Maddox had for Luna.
Luna has yet to find what she was great at and she found that when Maddox shower her the love he had for her. She was perfect for the job of loving Maddox and being his wife. Not to mention being the his person.
Thank you so much to Ella for the free review copy in exchange for my honest opinion!

Maddox is a little crazy and Luna is a little insane and they're both a little too unhinged and I still loved it.
May 23, 2019
The first part of this book, before Luna and Maddox actually meet and get to know each other, is pretty hilarious. I actually LOLed at several parts. I really, really liked this book. Luna was endearing and not an airhead, just very innocent. If Maddox had just been more alpha and referred to Luna as "darling girl" less (way less) then this would have been a five star for me.

This was pretty fun to read. Don't take serious story. The H made being a j/p hero funny.

Captured hadn't managed to—pardon me, I will be very cheesy right now—capture me. The characters didn't do it for me and, honestly, I was glad when I reached the finish line.

The heroine can't hold down a job. She always makes a mistake and gets fired. The hero sees her watching him for her private investigator job and immediately decides she is his future wife.
