were spoliers!!):

My Review:
Like most
novella’s this story was simply too short. This story reminded me so much of my
favorite vampire series by Lynsay Sands, which if you haven’t read they are
simply amazing. Claimed is told in
the POV of a 29 year old Jessica Tandy who has a bad habit of dating the wrong
guys, and is left stranded with Flint, a sexy man she was instantly attracted
too! I liked Flint the minute he was introduced because he was worried about Jessica’s
safety and made sure she ate and drank some OJ. While I knew what the story was
basically going to be about before they left the bar, I still finished and I am
glad I did.
Claimed
is a quick and easy read (103 pages) that readers who enjoy paranormal romance
would love to read. There are moments in the story where you want to laugh or
you feel sad for what can no longer happen. I feel that this could have easily
been a novel or miniseries with Jessica and Flint. I’m a sucker for romance and
wish I could read about the couple’s lives forever. J Well I
have researched this series and found out that there are others, I am not sure
if there are others about Flint and Jessica.
My
rating for this story is 4 stars!
