ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review



Marni Mann has sophisticatedly and masterfully weaved a dark gritty romance that breaks your conventional standard of dark reads. Right off the opening pages, Mann lures her readers to the dark side with her raw and captivating prose. She didn’t need much effort to imprisoned us to her words as readers like myself were drawn to the emotional and electric bond of Garin and Kyle.



Prisoned is one of those reads where I honestly don’t know where to begin my review. A part of me wants to be very vague because Marni Mann delivered a story where you must immersed yourself into the lives of Garin and Kyle as they chronicle the past and present of their relationship. And another part of me wants to tell you every tidbit of the story because it was a journey of truly epic proportions and mindfuckery. So I guess the only sensible part is for me to write a review that will allow us to meet in the middle.

“I knew I shouldn’t be kissing her again. It was too dangerous to keep tasting her. But I had to. I hadn’t gotten enough. I would never get enough of her, not when I’d waited this long to have her.”

Right off the prologue, Marni Mann introduces readers to three best friends: Garin, Kyle, and Billy. All three grew up in the projects of New Jersey where drugs, violence and chaos were a constant factor in their upbringing. In order to survive, they did things that was needed. No reason or justification because in this world, only one thing matters, and that is to survive. In the backdrops of their upbringing, Garin and Kyle begin to develop a deeper affection for one another. Lines of their friendship gets blurred when feelings of love begins to emerge. But as two hearts begin to merge into one, another heart bleeds. One night was all it took for everything to change. One night that will forever haunt the life of Kyle.

Kyle soon finds herself returning back to her hometown only to be plagued with the memories of her past. Darkness, pain, and sadness soon begins to form a living nightmare for Kyle. Is she living in her own personal prison where she is confined to reliving memories of her past? But Kyle finds herself not alone in her cell. Is he meant to save her or keep her locked away?



Marni Mann has fused a bold, edgy, raw, and dark contemporary romance that is a hodgepodge of primal emotions. Marni seductively lures her readers to be entrapped in this clusterfuck that weaves the past and present in a poignant, vivid, and fervent manner. Prisoned is truly a journey where romance and emotions assaults readers to the core. The undying and ardent love of Garin and Kyle spoke volumes. Their love and passion was bleeding and pouring off the pages. And in such gravity, Marni Mann pushes readers out of their comfort zone. In this no holds barred romance, Marni Mann will take you captive. Be prepared to be imprisoned with her sexy, poetic, and stunning literary masterpiece.
