Brides of the Kindred Book One—Claimed Olivia Waterhouse has just graduated from nursing school and has her whole life ahead of her—until she gets drafted. Problem is, she isn’t being forced into the Army, she’s been chosen as a Kindred bride. The Kindred are huge alien warriors—a race of genetic traders whose population is ninety-five percent male. After saving Earth from the threat of invasion … threat of invasion they demand a reward—the right to find brides among the population. The chances of being chosen are about the same as those of winning the lottery—guess it’s just Liv’s lucky day.
Baird is a Beast Kindred who recently escaped imprisonment and torture at the hands of the malevolent Scourge. Through the torment and pain only one thing kept him sane—the thought of finding and claiming his bride—Olivia. His need to possess her is a burning intensity that threatens to consume them both.
Angry at having her future and her family taken away from her, Liv vows to fight back the only way she can—by resisting. She has one month on the Kindred Mothership with Baird—their claiming period. If she can keep from having bonding sex with him during that time, she can go home and get on with her life on Earth.
But Baird isn’t going to make it easy for her. Every week he is allowed to touch Liv more and more intimately and according to the contract she signed, she has to let him. She’s determined to resist him but his touch sets her on fire. And just as she thinks she knows what she wants, a twist of fate and an attack by the faceless Scourge AllFather changes everything…

This was a well written story with good charactes. The story moved at a fast pace and I had it read in one sitting g. I would recommend this book.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I loved this steamy and emotional read. That being said the heroine, Olivia was very frustrating and annoying. I thought it was easy to relate to her feelings and her desire to resist the situation she found herself in, at least originally. After all no one wants to have their dreams and life derailed. That being said, we may not want it but as …
Very good. Braid can give guys advice on how to please a girl. Olivia expects alien guy to be exactly like her dead end friends. The draft for brides for could be handled better. *Knock on the door, answered and bride in black fancy nightie* Olivia is carted off, unable to change clothes due to risk of flight. The book was well written and makes …

This was fascinating …
This book is beyond superb. WAY beyond. It was wonderfully intense in all the BEST ways. I have read many of the Kindred books and I have loved every single one. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
I loved the dynamic between the characters. It kept me entertained and I couldn’t put the book down.
I’m not sure what made me decide to download this book. I’m not normally a fan of the sci-fi/alien romance genre. That said, Claimed seriously sucked me in by the end of the first chapter and I could not put it down.
Hot, hot, hot! And so full of sweetness. I’m a fan! Definitely going to read the rest of this series!
This book has a good plot and lots of original ideas as far as alien life goes, but the characters – especially the female ones- need more depth to them in the motivation and emotional department.
This was such a great paranormal read. I definitely look forward to the next book in this series. It was steamy and unpredictable with great characters and laugh out loud moments.
You got to read this series frist class.

1st, the good.
It started out quick, hard and fast. The story was engrossing and the set up intriguing. …
This book was great. I loved the characters. Strong female presence. As well as alpha presence. I recommend reading if you have not done so. There is a whole series I will eventually get through.
I love the Kindred Novels and have since purchased several and plan to complete my collection soon.
It’s somewhat simplistic and formulaic, but I still fell in love and read it quickly. Great steamy mindless romance.
Awesome read. Definitely a page turner. Romantic and steamy.
I don’t know why I have waited so long to read her books. She is an extremely talented author and this book sucked me right in!
I am a big fan of all of her Kindred books
I can’t recommend this book enough! it is so well written, and Ms
Anderson is great at character development. once you read this book (you can find it free on Amazon ebooks, where I found it), you’re going to want to read every book she has in the Kindred Universe. if you like erotic romance, you’ll love this book. its of the highest caliber, …
First, I’d like to say that I enjoyed this book immensely! World-building was outstanding. Loved that growly man, Baird. Magnificent character. Olivia, on the other hand, I wanted to smack her in just about every chapter. I know what the author was hoping to achieve and the timeline that she was dealing with, but I think repeating the same …
