Anna Santos wrote another excellent Young Adult Paranormal Romance with Claimed. I immediately fell in love with the characters. Dulce is an intense she-wolf yearning for her mate. Thanks to her friend Jessica, wife of the Vampire King, she will be able to know him. The book literally begins with a huge bang that was both terrifying and humorous. One miscommunication after another leads to a very frustrating beginning to Derek and Dulce’s relationship.
Through the guise of fantasy and the paranormal, Anna Santos addresses issues such as racism and classism that have long plagued humanity. Topics such as these have kept us from functioning at our best as a society. By embracing all supernaturals, the King shows us that we can live harmoniously with those from different tribes. Affinity is a place where all are welcome, even humans, as long as they respect one another. Dulce was raised with the notion that no one is beneath her. Derek experienced prejudice over being a hybrid. Even though he is an Alpha, he feels he is not worthy of a pureblood like Dulce, and battles with his wolf who knows they were meant to be. Because they both make assumptions rather than communicate their feelings and thoughts, we have a romance that takes a minute to be realized.
There are action and a twist that leads to suspense, and a mystery that I hope will be resolved in the next book in the series. Overall, Claimed is a good read. I started this book on Friday after work and finished it in the wee hours.
I look forward to more books in this series in the future.

Dulce is a alpha female and looking for the right one, not the losers. Derek has had his own bad luck. What will they do when they meet? Can they mate or will something happen to stop it? Does Jessica’s magic spell cause more problems or less? A must read.

Claimed is Dulce and Derek’s story about fated mates destined to be together. She is a witch and cursed but when she meets Derek everything changes. This is an intriguing story with interesting characters, steam, mystery, suspense and unexpected twists.

She also has a farm and land to sell to help fund her half of a dance studio. Derek is the alpha of his wolf pack with a daughter to raise. The mother ran out on them after she was born and addicted to drugs. When he seeks audience with the King of the area, he seeks to buy the farm. Dulce meets him and recognizes him as her mate. Only problem, she believes he is married. Therefore, she avoids him like the plague but it does not work. When she discovers he is not they finally get together but misunderstandings keep them apart as well. Then someone starts following her and Derek’s daughter is kidnapped…what now? They head out to seek revenge and to get his daughter! Will they get to her? Who took her and why? This is a great book with some steamy scenes and a sweet romance.

This was the first book in the series I read and it can definitely be read as a standalone, but reading the previous book will give you a better understanding of the past events as well as endear you to the main female character Dulce before reading her story. I enjoyed reading Dulce and Derek’s story it was a classic romance troupe of Single father mets woman and enter a misunderstanding. The characters themselves were well written and well rounded as people with lots of interaction with secondary and background characters. The secondary characters enchanted me so much that I binge read the first 5 books through kindle unlimited and it was so worth it! I found this book to be a bit of a lighter tone than the previous ones, but by no means was the conflict of the book light hearted. The plot stood alone from the previous books as the main antagonist from those is dead, but the type of hatred he inspired toward mixing of paranormal races shapes the world such as Hitler did back in that time period. I can’t wait to see where the story goes next, fingers crossed it is Dulce’s twin brother Sebastian’s turn next!

Dolce is bad ass! I loved her when she appeared in some of the other books and was thrilled to get to read her book! She is one of my favorite characters in this series. The story was compelling from beginning to end. An ‘I can’t put this down’ read.

4* except for errors. This is a very good book. Unfortunately the editing and authors wordage is horrible. This would be 4* if not for that. The story was good, the characters were relatable and fleshed out, the author didn’t overwhelm the story with sex though there was plenty of steam. While this is basically instalove the characters were slow to come together. There were plenty of misunderstandings. But it wasn’t too angsty. So a very good book. 4*. However the author constantly used the wrong words. Such as constructor instead of contractor. Or the wrong tenses. There were also extra words. She would add the wrong name to the dialogue. It was like English is a second language. I absolutely recommend this book, it’s worth reading. Just beware the hiccups.

What a romance. True love is hard to find the one that will take your breath away the one to be your forever mate. The story brought out so much emotions in me. Thinking of my late husband and the soul mate relation we had. I am glad I could feel it again through Dulce and Derek’s world wind romance and finally declaring love for each other and the danger and excitement that is their’s in Claimed. Kudos to Anna Santos for a great story.
