About this listen
From USA Today and #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes an Enemies to Lovers, Fake Dating, Sports Romance.
Killian St. James was the boy I loved. Now he’s the man I love to hate.
To the world, I’m America’s sweetheart. A brand built on fairy tales and love songs that sell millions. But the truth? I’m not sure I believe in happily ever afters . . . At least not for me.
Burned-out and desperate for a break, I return to my hometown, craving quiet and a tiny taste of freedom. But instead of peace, I find a stalker in the shadows, paparazzi on my heels, and a meddling family with their own ideas about my life.
Everyone insists I need protection, and having my new bodyguard pose as my fake boyfriend makes total sense . . . Not that they asked me. If that’s not enough, did I mention that Killian is all too happy to volunteer for the job?
This MMA champion is brooding, relentless, and inconveniently perfect at keeping me safe. He’s also unimaginably gorgeous, with a quiet confidence that’s even sexier than the ink tattooed on his golden skin.
But as lines blur and sparks fly, I’m left wondering if the boy I once loved could be the man I can trust with my life . . . and my heart.

A little white lie never hurt anyone . . . or so I thought. One fake date and we’d go our separate ways, at least that’s how hockey’s hottest golden boy—Nixon Sinclair—convinced me this would work. But it turns out, Nix had other plans. Now I’m sneaking around with my brother’s teammate, refusing to admit he’s everything I want but never knew I needed.

Easton Hayes has been my knight in shining hockey skates since he saved my life. This devastatingly handsome grump may be everyone's favorite goalie, but to me, he's my strength when demons haunt my dreams. And okay—so maybe he's also the only man I've ever loved. But he doesn't need to know that. We're friends. It works for us.

Story
This man is temptation personified. He’s six feet four inches of rock-solid, golden muscles that are inked to perfection and proudly displayed every time he steps into the cage. I’m the idiot who agreed to stay with him for the next few days. Hudson “The King” Kingston knew he had a fight coming up when he risked himself to save me. How could I say no when he needed a friend to help him out? Because that’s exactly what we’ve always been—friends. Friends who flirt. Friends who tease. Friends who never cross that line.

I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates. Technically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate. Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now. Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference.

Forevers don’t exist when you’re on the run. Amelia cannot get attached - not to the town or the people in it. And definitely not to the tall, dark, and handsome mafia prince who sweet-talks his way past her carefully built walls. Why put yourself through that, knowing it’ll all be ripped away when you leave? And she will have to leave. This life isn’t hers to keep. Sam calls her Snow, like the fairy-tale princess. But her life is far from a fairy tale. Even a prince can’t change that.

Logan Murphy should come with a warning. He’s as hot as a Carolina Reaper on black asphalt in the middle of July.

He’s also a football star on track to win the first wide-receiver MVP in league history. Good thing I only date golfers… or I did.

For a long time now, I’ve despised Weston Shaw. He’d been someone I’d admired, taking my favorite football team, the Colorado Mustangs, to the Super Bowl.

Unfortunately, the circumstances behind that have never been my story to tell. But now, the truth is out, and I’m left to deal with the consequences. I’m living under the same roof as Weston, and each day, I discover a side of him I never expected.

Little did I know, he would find me. And he wasn't going to take no for an answer. Crue wanted me to be his wife. And all I wanted was him in my bed.

I'm not a worldly woman. I'm not cultured, well-traveled, or well educated. I'm just a housewife. A mother. I'm the woman with the handsome husband, beautiful daughter, the large house. If you saw it from the outside, you'd probably think I have the perfect life. You would most definitely be wrong. But I don't blame you. We all see what we want to see, turning a blind eye to what others want to stay hidden. Especially when it comes to love. They say love is blind. But I'm more apt to say it's wretched. Love is what made me stay. But love is also what saved me.

💔 What’s the Story?
America’s sweetheart is exhausted by fame and desperate for a break. But when a stalker threatens her safety, she’s forced to accept protection—whether she likes it or not. Enter Killian St. James, the MMA fighter she once loved and now can’t stand. Pretending to be her boyfriend keeps her out of the paparazzi’s reach, but with danger lurking and old feelings resurfacing, their arrangement soon feels anything but fake. As the threats escalate, she must decide if she can truly trust Killian—with her life and her heart.
🔥 What Worked:
✔ Intense Chemistry – The tension between the leads is off the charts.
✔ Well-Developed Characters – Their emotional journeys feel raw and real.
✔ Perfect Mix of Romance & Suspense – The blend of danger and desire keeps you hooked.
✔ Great Narration – The voice actors bring the story to life with passion and emotion.
⏳ A Small Critique:
The slow build-up adds depth to the romance, but the stalker subplot could have used more focus. While the tension between the leads is gripping, the suspense element—arguably one of the most intriguing aspects—felt slightly underdeveloped. More emphasis on the looming threat could have heightened the stakes and made the resolution even more impactful.
💘 Tropes You’ll Love:
✔ Enemies-to-Lovers
✔ Fake Dating
✔ Bodyguard Romance
✔ Second Chance
✔ Forced Proximity
🎧 Final Thoughts:
If you love slow-burn romance with explosive chemistry, protective heroes, and just the right amount of danger, Captivating is a must-listen. Even if you haven’t read the previous books in the series, this interconnected standalone will leave you craving more.
🙏 A huge thank you to Bella’s content team for the opportunity to listen to this book!

The tension between Killian and Lilah is insane. They were best friends when they were kids, but after things got twisted, they haven’t really seen each other in 10 years. Now, Lilah’s got a stalker and Killian is the only one who can protect her the way she needs.
I LOVED these two together. The love and devotion they show towards each other, even when Lilah “hates” Killian is so sweet. I loved watching Killian read Lilah and knew exactly what she needed.
I say this with every book, but I absolutely love how Bella gives us so much of the previous characters in each books. I loved seeing Nat, Brady, Cade and Scarlett as parents.
I will be very impatiently waiting for Teasing 😊
🎧 The audiobook of this was sooo good! I loved reading Killian and Lilah's story, and loved listening to it just as much! I loved how well the narrators brought this story to life! Absolutely loved this!
Favorite Quotes:
“We were everything until we were nothing at all.”
“You’ll always be my favorite once upon a time, even if you can never be my happily ever after”
“She’s a queen, but she’ll always have a tiny bit of crazy hiding beneath the crown. Test her at your own risk.”

I loved Lyla and Killian’s book. I devoured this when I read it and now listening to the audiobook. I love how this second generation has been written. I had absolutely no clue what was coming in this book and there were so many surprises. New second generation characters we haven’t seen much of and this story that…
I went through a gamut of emotions in this book as Bella brought us another story that was on the angstier side. I loved how Killian treated Lilah through this whole book. Her best interests were at the forefront of his mind and it just made you adore this big, bad MMA fighter getting to see his softer side. And Lilah is such a strong character, sometimes almost to her own detriment but she has such a great support system that help her through everything.
I couldn’t get enough of this book. I absolutely love the world Bella Matthews has made in Kroydon Hills and how I cannot get enough of these characters.

Lilah still isn't my all time favorite but she is Killian's other half. Her voice narrator did do her justice.
I rated it a 4 star because when it's two voice narrators instead of one for the entire book, it grates on my nerves when it's not done in duet style. There is no reason the male narrator should be doing the female dialogue when there is a female narrator on the audio and vice versa. Still loved the book though.
Killian's voice makes me swoon!

The narration was perfect, and brought both of the characters to life.
I have loved every couple in this series, but the switch back to the Kingston family was so fun!
