Trapped Kindle Edition

by Ruby Moone (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 122 ratings
Companion to The Wrong Kind of Angel

Sam Holloway is a desperate man. Trapped in Dante's, the high-class London brothel catering to men who love men, his only hope is to find a rich protector. Then he meets the young aristocrat with sad eyes.


Tristan Barrington, sixth earl of Chiltern, waited until the death of his father before acting on his unnatural desires. Dante's has a reputation for quality and absolute discretion. He never expected to find in its sordid depths a glorious man who could master not only his body but his heart, as well.


In Tristan, Sam sees an opportunity to flee a life he hates, and he sets his sights on seducing the earl. Tristan vows to help him escape, but in the process not only uncovers the vile corruption at the heart of Dante's but also suspects that Sam's declaration of love was nothing but a lie.


Then Sam is gravely injured, and Tristan faces a tough decision -- leave Sam to his fate, or help him once again?

My name is Ruby Moone and I love books. All kinds of books. My weakness is for romance, and that can be any kind, but I am particularly fond of historical and paranormal. I decided to write gay romance after reading some fantastic books and falling in love with the genre, so am really thrilled to have my work published here. The day job takes up a lot of my time, but every other spare moment finds me writing or reading. I live in the north west of England with my husband who thinks that I live in two worlds. The real world and in the world in my head...he probably has a point!

    I first read Memories which I really enjoyed so I’ve now finished Trapped and it was very good also. So as I said Ruby Moone is now an author that is in my follow list.

    Illegals existing in illegality and yet in love, that’s the way of it in Edwardian England. Still, we know the men who love men existed and even thrived as they found love and a way to survive. This is such a tale of suspense and adventure.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 stars for Trapped!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2017
    Format: Kindle
    I’m always reluctant to read an M/M historical romance, simply because I cannot stand the fact that any time period before modern ones they have to hide who they are—not from fear of being ostracized by other people (though that is always a possibility, then and now), but due to the laws that could find a character swinging from the end of a rope. But sometimes my curiosity is piqued by a synopsis for a story in this genre, and I wind up quite pleasantly surprised at the wonderful story I discover. This is how Trapped was for me.

    I couldn’t help but come to care for Tristan and Sam, not to mention several of the supporting characters. Sam, who has nothing and is trapped by circumstance in a horrible, abusive situation, is still strong and determined to break free…even if he needs to string Tristan along to do so. Tristan, who has everything and yet is still trapped by circumstance hiding his true nature, feels unloved and unworthy of love…but remains hopeful with Sam. It seems like things might work out—until the truth comes out (a truth that has changed for Sam in the meantime) and things become complicated.

    Trapped gives readers romance, suspense, drama and tension, especially once Dante comes for Sam. The story really draws you in, and I was so distraught for Sam much of the second half of the book. The threat Dante poses is constant, and I was on edge as the climactic suspense of the last quarter of the story played out. I’ve been hard pressed to find M/M historical romances that result in a truly satisfying ending given the time periods they cover, but Trapped was able to easily deliver one and had me smiling in the end.

    Trapped was a really good 4.5-star read for me and also has me intrigued for The Wrong Kind of Angel which I haven’t read yet—I can’t wait to go back and read Harry and Charlie’s story…and I really hope we also get one with Alfie and Gareth down the line. I’ve got this author on my watch list now, I’m looking forward to reading more! I definitely would recommend this book to M/M historical romance fans, and it is meant for readers 18+ for adult language and M/M sexual content…which oh-by-the-way is simply decadent between Tristan and Sam.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Review by Barb
    Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2017
    Format: Kindle
    Sam Holloway is a whore working off a gambling debt to Dante, a strict, and (we later learn) cruel task-master, with an even more evil henchman named Bill Mosley. Not long after he begins servicing the shy man who presents himself as Henri, and later reveals his name as Tristan, he realizes that Tristan seems to really care about him and he decides to see if Tristan will help him escape his hellish existence by paying off his debts to Dante.

    What he finds out is that not only is Tristan willing to do that, he’s also willing to fund an apartment, his own cook and valet, and give him spending money as well. Sam doesn’t want all that, and is happy with just one room, and he soon realizes that being a kept man does more to destroy his self-respect than working for Dante. But when he speaks to Tristan about it, he begins a chain of misunderstandings that drive a wedge between the two.

    Tristan is disconsolate until his cousin, Alfie, reveals that he too is a man who loves men and helps Tristan not only learn how to cope, but also aids him when they learn that Sam is in deep trouble with Dante and Mosley.

    This is a nice adventure with a very sweet Tristan as our hero. Sam is okay, but honestly, I didn’t warm up to him as much. I enjoyed Alfie and really liked Sam’s friend Gareth, a fellow whore who sets his sights on Alfie.

    I did like the story and the complex and convoluted adventure that unfolds as the lords and their men become involved in even more of an adventure than they bargained for when they learn that Dante is also dealing in children. It’s not noted as a trigger or warning, but I know some readers who would be upset by this plot twist, so avoid the book if you are triggered by pedophilia.

    There were, unfortunately, a lot of little details that didn’t make sense to me as I read the story, and there were quite a few errors, other than grammar or spelling, that should have been picked up in one of the early edits, and then there was a somewhat smooth, but rather unbelievable, solution to everyone’s problems that resulted in the couple’s HEA.

    Also, I did not know that this was a “companion to <i>The Wrong Kind of Angel</i>, though now that I do, it makes sense. To be honest, though, they should be labeled as a series since the MCs from the first story play a supportive role toward the end of this book, and it would have been nice to know they were so heavily linked. Because of that, although this is listed as a standalone, I’d lean toward recommending reading the other book first—something I would have done had I realized just how tied together the stories were.

    So, overall, I’m giving it a 3. I liked it, though I didn’t find it outstanding. If you like historical pieces, especially with timid gay lords who finally find what they’ve wanted all their lives, you should like this one.

    This is a sweet story but at times it felt unorganized and, in some cases, kind of manic. Revisiting the exact same themes repeatedly got old too. The ending seemed a bit rushed.

    Alfie and Gareth need their own story. I would read that in a heartbeat!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Radically different historical romance
    Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2017
    Format: Kindle
    I have read historical romance periodically for decades,
    beginning with Georgette Heyer. This one is probably as far apart from those as it is possible to be. It is also by far my favorite one. It begins with two men who meet in a gay brothel, and ends with them, some of their family, friends, and a few orphan children forming a large, loving family. It is a truly great read that has me anxious to discover what other stories this author has written. Read it. Given that you are not homophobic, you will love it.

    I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't put it down. I feel kind of lost now that I'm done reading it. I'll be rereading it. It was a beautiful love story with lots of issues, but you will never be bored reading this book. The author is new to me and I'll be reading more books for this author. The two main characters both so lovable. I could see this story as a movie. I wish the author could turn it into a movie. Just awesome!

    I enjoyed this book so much. Although I read more contemporary MM, a good historical also hits the spot and Trapped certainly did for me. There was a good and credible story line, the pacing was spot on and as for the main characters, well, they had me rooting for them all the way. The angst level wasn't too heavy and that felt just right for the book. The main characters were great together and as for Tristan, the young Earl, let's just say I'm a little in love! The two main sub characters were well drawn and interesting and I'm hoping Alfie and Gareth will have their own story, and soon. Hugely enjoyable and highly recommended.
