The only reason sexy shapeshifter Bexli would not be able to shift is unthinkable. No way is she pregnant after one stupid night with him. What Bexli knows about the silver fox alien: he’s moody, he rarely talks, and he seems to think she’s some fragile female who needs protecting. Tommel knows that he has no interest in a mate, he won’t talk about his past, and he can’t stop thinking about the … stop thinking about the beautiful Lycithian.
After a night when adrenaline is running high and Bexli is determined to prove she’s anything but fragile, they end up sharing a tent. And a lot more. When Tommel walks out, she panics and runs as far away from him as she can…and right into danger on the deadly sand planet.
Now she’s lost her ability to shape-shift, which means two things. She can’t help rescue her captured friends, and she’s pregnant by the alien who walked away from her. Not good.
This standalone surprise pregnancy novel features a tough, independent heroine; a gorgeous, sand planet barbarian warrior; and steamy scenes with a silver fox. If you like hot alien warriors, surprise pregnancies, and fated mates romance with a happily ever after, you’ll love CLAIM, the sixth book in Tana Stone’s sci-fi romance Barbarians of the Sand Planet series.

Bexli heals Tommel’s pain and brings new joy to his life!

This book is the final in the “Barbarians of the Sand Planet Series,” and it is Bexli’s turn to take a mate. As a shifter and with her history, Bexli never expected to have a mate or children. Her mate Tommel was an older Warrior who had lost his mate and child many years ago. He had refused to think of taking another mate, knowing that to lose another would destroy him. Their courtship was fraught with difficulties, but their love for each other ensured they had the happy ending they both deserved. I have enjoyed all the books in this series, and this last book was no exception. As for the rest of the Bounty hunters’ plans, you will have to read the book to discover what happens next!

This series is entertaining and action packed, the interaction and chemistry between the characters of Bexli and Tommel is wonderful. I can’t wait for the next book From this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
This truly magnificent alien-barbarian Sci-Fi romance is the last & final book of an excellent series. It can be read as a standalone although I would recommend reading the series in sequence to fully understand the underlining storyline. The suspenseful plot is quite unpredictable & keeps the reader’s attention until the end. There are good scene descriptions & world building. The characters are unique strong-willed individuals with complex personalities & have good chemistry between them.
It is about: the individual journeys for each of the female bounty crew that were forcible marooned on a sandy planet (Zandureen) & this book covers the last unmated female crew member (a stubborn Lycithian shapeshifter, Bexli) & an older Dothvek warrior (Tommel) who are highly attracted to each other but naturally each of them have emotional barriers around their hearts.
There is: vengeful Dothvek warriors, a Crestek resistance group, friendship, life-threatening incidents, attractions, traditions, memories, twists & turns, action, adventure, rivalry, drama, intrigue, suspense, danger, threats, villainous enemies, devious plans, abduction, violence, misunderstandings, heartache, disagreements, surprises, fear, determination, protectiveness, compromises, love, some steamy scenes, contentment & a really satisfying conclusion. I enjoyed reading this Sci-Fi romance & look forward to future books from this talented author. I definitely would recommend this Sci-Fi romance to people who enjoy reading this genre.
She saved the best for last in this story about Tommel and Bexli. This is a story that goes up and down with the emotions as the story goes. It starts when the Dothvek barbarians are celebrating the death of their clan leader that they discovered was a murderer and traitor. It is a new beginning for the clan but Bexli is wondering when they would leave the planet or if the others would leave their mates. In the previous book Tommel has mind melded with Bexli but because he knows she wants to leave and because he feels responsible about his previous mate’s death, he is resisting to mate with her which Bexli takes that he does not like her. As the Dothvek’s party winds down the Cresteks attack and take the ship with the women and their mates, leaving Caro, Bexli, Tommel and Rukken the only one alive on the ground. To reaffirm that they are alive Bexli and Tommel connect physically but afterwards he walks out of the tent and Bexli, angry, decides to go recue her friends in the middle of the night. After he finds out Bexli left, Tommel leaves to catch up with her, can they rescue the others? I loved this series about the female bounty hunters who crash landed and this was a great finish to this series with plenty of action and steamy romance. I volunteer to read and review this ARC via Booksprout.
The sixth and last book of the Barbarians of the Sand Planet series. This is Bexli a Lycithian, Tommel a Dothvek, Bexli’s pet Pog a glurkin. Also the women that are Bexli’s friends and the Dothvek men they love along with T’Kar a Crestek who is Holly’s mate. There is suspense, drama, danger, twists, turns, surprises, villains, and romance. A really good ending to this series.

I’ve really enjoyed this series, and I hope we get more additions to it!
After the ambush, only Bexli, Tommen, Caro and Rukken are left. (Well the twins are still there, but who cares right now!) Bexli gives in to herself and jumps Tommen’s bones. He slinks off afterwards, and feelings hurt, Bexli decides to shift and leave. The adventure begins!
This series was so very good. I hate to see it end. All these women who are bounty hunters are not weak, they are all strong, clever, and capable of doing their jobs. This story is about Bexli and Tommel. They really need each other and little by little they are breaking down the barriers they have erected around their hearts. There is loss, grief, survival, forgiveness, traditions, family, hope and finally the love and HEA they are both looking for. This was such a fantastic series and I can’t wait to see what’s next from this author. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Bexli is a Lycithian shapeshifter who, with her fellow female bounty hunters, had been marooned on the sand planet weeks ago. The Dothvek barbarians were celebrating the death of their clan leader they had discovered was a murderer and traitor. This was a new beginning for the clan who had long suffered under his leadership. Bexli was trying to avoid Tommel, the the solemn Dothvek who rarely smiled, because her body seemed to react to him and she did not want to be involved with one of these aliens. The plan had been to find a way off this planet and get back to their bounty hunter business. With so many of the women finding mates here, Bexli was afraid they would stay. But Caro and Tori assured her that, now they had the larger ship, the guys had no reason to stay on the planet and would enjoy the adventure. Bexli was relieved to hear that.
The twin warriors sat on either side of Bexli at the fire and she finally got up to leave them, not interested in what she knew they wanted. They tried to talk her into staying when the strong, more experienced warrior Tommel made both of them quickly leave. He insisted on walking her back to the ship, saying she was in no condition to make decisions since she had so much to drink. Bexli was angry that he was so protective of her and treated her like a child. To prove she was not a fragile flower, she startled him by kissing him and not letting him pull away – but it suddenly turned much deeper than what she intended. She finally pushed away in confusion.
At the sound of shouts, Tommel returns to a battle as the Crestecks attack and steal the ship filled with the women and some of the Dothvek warriors. Only four people survived outside of the ship because they were elsewhere when the attack happened. After they build the funeral pyre for the honorable warriors who died, Tommel, Rukken, Caro, and Bexli are going after their friends. Will they find them? Can the four of them save their crew? Is anyone left alive?
This well-written, standalone, action-romance Book 6 in the Barbarians of the Sand Planet Series has some great characters.

The story is action-packed and full of fun and interesting in it’s interactions of the characters. This is an Alien Romance book involving kidnapped mates.

This is another grand prize winner book by Tana Stone. It’s an exceptional story with amazing well written characters and story line. I think this book has become my favorite. I loved Bexli in the entire series and wish I had her ability to change shapes, that would be fun! Tommel becomes her hot drool worthy barbarian, even though they must work through loss, sorrow, grief, acceptance, forgiveness and sacrifice they have the courage to find their new beginning together. It’s a hot alien barbarian with clever bounty hunter women series with a hot and steamy romance that I hate to see end. I hope the twins get their story I don’t want to miss them.

Each of the female bounty hunter crew received a wonderful present that they each didn’t realized they need or want, so they were unwilling to unwrap it. Problem is each of the present is wrapped by a time-released wrapper. The choice to unwrap was never theirs to make

This novel was written and edited cleanly, with no typos that I found in the ARC version of the manuscript. The world building was vibrant, with the desert planet and it’s creatures coming to vivid life. The characterization was competent, with both hero and heroine being sympathetic individuals with reasons behind the choices they made. The development of the romantic relationship was natural and organic, especially considering the shorter length of this story. The plot and pacing was exciting, with me turning the pages quickly to find out what was going to happen next. There was a medium amount of angst in this story that I understood but found a little tiring to read, and very high stakes that maintained my interest despite the relationship angst. This novel used the Mating Bond trope and the Neither Side Wants a Relationship trope. The world building, plot, and pacing were all four stars. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship was also four stars. The novel ended on a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that is a big plus to this story. I recommend this sci-fi romance to readers who enjoy romances that read like adventure novels. I will be eagerly anticipating reading the next series that this author writes. I will probably buy myself a keeper copy of this novel.

What an amazing conclusion to the Barbarians of the Sand Planet series, great writing with a fantastic action packed storyline and addictive characters that you love. I loved Bexli and Tommels story, but I’m also a little heartbroken that it’s the end of the series and all the female bounty hunters have their Dothvek men.
Would love to see them all have a adventure together.
This story which is perhaps the last in this series of SciFi from this author is just as good as the previous ones in this series. There is always something or other going on, battles, heartaches, fighting, killing, loving, making babies, peace? The storyline in this story is very good and the characters are just simply said fabulous or fantastic or smashing or any other such descriptive word you can think of … This story like the previous ones in this story is long enough that you probably will not read it in one setting but it is almost at the level of whoneedstosleepatall…??? I loved it at least and nothing less than fantastic five stars for this story.

Tana Stone has done it again. The final book from the Barbarians of the Sand Planet series was just as entertaining and full of action and steamy heated moments.
Bexli has finally met her match and the internal fighting of her feelings for Tommel the overprotective and super serious silver fox Dothvek Who is her mind mate. These two have so much to work towards a happily ever after. I loved how the story developed and how they brought the balance of power back to the planet and peace between the Cresteks and the Dothveks.
You won’t be disappointed when you read this book. I loved how Tana brought all of the characters from the whole series into play in this final chapter in the series. I would love to see the twins find someone who doesn’t mind sharing the two of them. Nothing would surprise me though. Thank you Tana for a fantastic series.

Loved this series! The world building was incredible, each story was unique but cohesive to the series arc, and the characters were easy to invest in their story lines.
This was Bexli and Tommel’s story. Bexli, the Lycithian shape shifter and last unmated bounty hunter is anxious to get back to work now that the crew has a new ship. Tommel, the older Dothvek warrior, was tasked with looking after Bexli but also feels physically attracted to her. Neither is looking for or wants a relationship. After the ship and most of the crew are kidnapped by the Cresteks it is up to them along with Caro and Rukken to rescue everyone.
