From USA Today Bestselling Author, Betty Shreffler comes the first installment in a passionate, riveting, and adventurous royal romance series.In a world where a woman’s purity is the fine line between being Queen and being killed, he was given one duty – to protect my purity and above all, to protect me. Both were a battle we weren’t ready for.Forced by tradition, and as their chosen Queen, I … for.
Forced by tradition, and as their chosen Queen, I must endure my trials and the suitor phase, ultimately giving myself to a man from the Royal Houses. Each one competes to be my King, all wanting what no other has had…my purity.
To have what I truly want would risk my entire reign, but to do what is expected of me would destroy my heart. My only protection is to follow through, giving each royal the opportunity to win their prize…me in a bedroom suite and a crown atop their head.
Behind closed doors, I commit my biggest sin, loving a man I’m forbidden to have. When the time comes for me to be crowned, I’ll be forced to make a choice – risk our love or risk my life.

CLAIMED ROYALTY by BETTY SHREFFLER
Five Stars
Having no choice is depressing. Not being able to love who you want is sickening. Fiora is to be crowned Queen but she has to go through her trials. During those trials there are male suitors she has to pick one as her king. But how do you pick someone to help lead your country when you don’t know him. You don’t know their heart and they don’t know yours? Fiora seems like a strong girl who will make an amazing queen. I so ship her and Matheas. I’m ready for the next book. This story was very interesting because usually it’s the males that inherit no matter if the sister is older. The author presented us with the base for a strong female lead who doesn’t hide behind anyone.
I’ll basically read anything Betty writes without even knowing what it’s about, but this story had me so excited! She did not disappoint. I love, love, loved this story. The angst, the passion, the love, the characters and how everything flowed made this a must-read page-turner. CANNOT wait for more!! I highly recommend!
This was not what I was expecting when I heard there was a new book coming…….I mean really, she’s wowed me with Paranormal, MC, Contemporary, we’ve had all the range of emotions, at least I thought so!
Fiora is an amazing woman, raised to be the future Queen, her whole life has been regimented and controlled, even to the point that her purity is monitored. She still grew to be an amazing woman people were loyal to, first and most loyal, her Arms Man…Matheas.
And I just, well crap…….don’t wanna spoil, wanna share the love…..arrgggghhh!!!
Sigh, since I really can’t think of anything that won’t spoil……going to just say the following……read it, enjoy it, curse her if you must and be like me…….can we have more now please!?
Fiora (Fi) a princess that is getting ready to start the trials to prove that she is worthy to become the Queen of Anauka,before her coronation. There are 4 different trials, from 4 different houses that she will participate in to prove her abilities.
Fiora also must select a husband, during the trials, she will meet a suitor from each of the houses to possibly choose her husband from. The biggest problem is that she is in love with Matheas. Matheas is her arms man that has taught her many things over the years. She must remain pure until her coronation.
There is so much more that I want to say about the book, but you must read it for yourself. You will be drawn in, and left in withdrawal waiting and pleading for the next book to come out. I’m in love with this story, and impatiently awaiting.
This is the first book in this series, I loved it. I loved that I was pulled into the story right from the beginning and couldn’t put the book down until the last page. This is a story about Fiona, the future queen, she is to chose her king but in order to do that she must complete certain tasks. I love the triangle this author created with the four men but problem is she loves another, who is forbidden. Fiona is an awesome strong character and her chemistry with the men.. A must read story!
With Fiora set to be queen, she must find a husband to reign the throne with her. With royal suitors fighting for her love, none can compare to Matheas, but because he is not royalty they cannot be together. Fiora must make the decision of choosing Matheas or someone she doesn’t love. Who will she choose?
This was an amazing read! You want to root for Fiora & Matheas but surprisingly there is another person you want to root for as well. It does end in a cliffhanger so hopefully the next book will be out soon!
This story had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. We’re given a great blend of a reverse harem, romance as well as non stop action and adventure. Fiora wants to follow her heart but she’s out into a predicament where if she takes that path the consequences will effect so many others whom reside in Anauka. I’m #TeamMatheas all the way, this man gives his all and then some. To be so close yet so far away from your desires is truly a struggle. Kellan is my favorite of the suitors and second up would be Luther, the others give me those questionable vibes and I’m curious as to what they’re truly feeling. Holy cliffhanger btw! I’m DYING to find out what happens next. Absolutely adored this story and highly recommend you grab your copy.
I loved this! Fiora was such a strong warrior princess, but she is feeling the pressure from all around her to find a suitable husband to marry. But the sexy hot Matheas is where her heart lies. Can they defy all odds to be together? I loved the twists and the devious plotting behind the scenes to manipulate Princess Fi. This ends in a cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to see what happens with our beloved couple!
This is going to be a short review and sort of sketchy. To say a lot would be giving this away so that’s why I won’t say much. Fiora is the soon to be Queen and must chose a King from the Royal House. Even though Matheas is her true love, she can’t chose him because he isn’t of the Royal House! Or can she? This was a totally unexpected story for me from Betty Shreffler and it took me by surprise. The details, the twists, the turns…. all made for a book that I couldn’t put down. The ending is a cliffhanger but I’m assured that the second part is coming really soon so yes, GET THIS BOOK!
Wow!! I love this book! It is so intense, it captivates from the beginning to the end. Ms Shreffler’s writing takes you to a different place, she brings her characters to life through her books. Claimed Royalty is a phenomenal book full of suspense and hot steamy romance scene. Ms Shreffler ending has an exceptional twist. You will want to read this book. I am waiting patiently waiting for her next one. I highly recommend this book to all my friends.
Fiora is a royal preparing to become Queen of Anaukin with a lot of pressure to find a suitable husband from neighboring royal families. The problem is that her heart lies with her devoted bodyguard Matheas. She is put through trials that rival the Hunger Games, just to prove herself worthy of being queen. She has to date the different royal suitors in a manner similar to the bachelor, and some of them have more to offer than others in terms of personality, power, and let’s face it – sheer heat of passion.
This book is full of adventure, romance, royal intrigue, tears, laughter, secrets, and hot sneaky intimacy. It was so good that I truly had a hard time putting it down and I cannot wait until the next installment. The cliffhanger will make you want to sit on the edge of your seat and scream, but thankfully Betty Shreffler has assured us that the wait for Twice Claimed, the second installment, will be a short one. I was honored to receive an advanced reader copy of this book. It most definitely was an engaging and wonderful read. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in romantic intrigue.
Claimed Royalty is the first of a new series by this author and what a splash it made. I am loving this new world the author has a gift for bringing this world to life and emerging us right in the middle of it. The characters are great, and I found myself rooting for more then one to win the heart of the Fiora. The action is great, there some steam but the suspense and the guessing who is the biggest page turner. The ending will have you with your mouth gaping. This new series is a must read. Go one click it now.
Riveting royalty romance
She is the most coveted female in the country, but she just wants to be like everyone else, with freedom over her body, mind, choices, and obligations.
Over the years, the love, respect, admiration, and devotion has only grown between Princess Fiora of House Tridore and Matheas, her personal bodyguard and Anaukin soldier. It is everlasting and passionate but taboo between a Royal Family member and an arms soldier. Fiora is a fierce, skilled, and focused participant in the trials set before her on the journey to coronation. But that road will not be easy in the least, because through it all, it will most definitely involve her heart, golden and delicate and decidedly taken. Torn between love and duty, how is she to chose between four Royal suitors to rule the Anauka territory by her side?
This story is an amazing new start to this series! Loved this story of one KICKASS queen in the making! Cannot wait to read more!
This newest release introduces us to a new series that has the feel of both old and new. I loved Princess Fiora’s character she believes in duty but she is not afraid to fight and her strength is so fierce. Her chemistry with Matheus sizzles from the start and only grew as their forbidden romance blossoms. The author is able to weave the story in a way that makes the reader invested and interested. Fast paced, interesting characters and a love like no other made for an enjoyable read.
4 out of 5 stars
Welcome to the world where being crowned queen means I have to pick a king to help run the country with me . The one man I want I can’t have . He is to guard me and my purity until I am crowned .
I will say I was pleasantly surprised by this story and the characters . they are well written and complex . Fi is a sweet woman that is strong and sweet at the same time . She is about to be crowned queen and is trying to hold it together . She has to choose the man that will be her husband and king . But there is one man that she truly loves and wants and cant have . Matheas , well what can we say , he is a dream boat and is sexy and a great body guard . He is loving and kind when he is with Fi . They are a great couple with lots of heat and romance pouring out of them .
The king is a hoot and is in love with his daughter I really liked him but the queen kind of drove me crazy. Her antics were kind of over the top and you kind of wanted slap her .
This book was a hot read , there are lots of sexy males that want the attention of one woman . The story is set in a time and a place that only is in fantasy . The author takes us on a emotional rollercoaster ride . There are times when you are wanting to wrap the main characters up in a warm blanket and tell them everything will be ok . Other times you are fanning yourself cause the heat just leaps off the page . The only thing that had me was in a couple of areas it seemed to drag just a little but over all this was a really great story and a new path for the author . I can’t wait to see where the author takes the characters in other books in the series .
WOW! Absolutely wow! I loved this book and every moment of the story.
Claimed Royalty is absolutely fantastic story and had me on edge of my seat entire time. This book is full pack with action, adventure, intense, emotional heart wrenching and sexy story. OMG the ending though. I don’t know if I wanted to cry, laugh or scream but I can not wait for the next book. A definitely must read book.

Wow! This has been an amazing adventure, full of passion and intrigue. I quite enjoyed it. If you are looking for a unique, exciting, and romantic story to read then this book is definitely for you. And as always the author does not disappoint with her ability to weave a story which will keep readers on their toes and the ending will blow their minds. Seriously, I am so looking forward to reading more in this series and can’t wait to see what other adventures are in store for Fiora and Matheas.
Fiora is about to be crowned Queen of her beloved country. She is ready to take charge and fulfill her destiny. This is what she has been training for her whole life and with Matheas by her side, she feels that she can do anything. Unfortunately, very soon she will face an impossible decision and what she chooses will seal the fates of not only her but also her people. All eyes are on her right now, one misstep and her whole life will crumble like a house of cards…
Matheas has only one purpose in life i.e. protect the princess. He would do anything to make sure that Fi is well-protected and happy. Her happiness is important to him. They may never be able to be together the way they both want, but he will make sure that she is safe. As her bodyguard, this is his duty as well. A duty he is more than happy to take on. Things are about to get more complicated and he will need to stay focused or he might not be able to protect her…
A very well-written book, I loved how well-paced it is. A great beginning, somewhat slower middle, and absolutely epic ending that will leave readers craving for more. Also, I must say that I am in love with these characters. They are brilliantly crafted, some of the best I’ve read in a while.
Oh my Goodness! Princess Fiona must prove herself in a series of tests before choosing whom her king will be when she becomes Queen of Anauka. Matheas, Luther and Kellan all play a role in this saga. Who will she choose? Matheas has been her trusted friend and body guard since childhood. He is not a contender for her heart and crown. The attraction between them is evident. I will admit that I am rooting for him. The ending is a cliffhanger so I am going to have to wait to get the next book in this series to find out how this ends. Betty knocks it out of the park on this one with her classic clean writing and steamy romantic storyline.
OMG I floved this book soo much. Such a great story I love how badass Fiora is. Everything about this story was amazing and didn’t turn out the way you would expect it to
