A great read about trust Havana has the worst day at the strip club she works at when a man falls sick with the new virus and the apocalypse begins in front of her. Rescuing her from it all are three handsome and mysterious men who are just as deadly. Can she trust them to lead her to safety?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Havana standing up for herself but caring underneath or Liam as a gentle giant.
I loved the use of the senses throughout the novel like the smell of the corpses/zombies and blood and fire or the sounds of bones crunching and popping as if you were actually there. I also loved the visual detail of the grandeur of the vacation house later on with the statues and strange furniture Gothic style from a horror story.
The shift in perspectives for chapters worked well to display all sides to the story and was easy to follow. I loved how the story started straight into the action to grab the reader from the start. Fast paced action and high stakes in a sci-fi fantasy world made for a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.
This is the first book I have read from this author and she blew my mind. I absolutely love Paranormal Romance but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of a new series and I can’t wait to see what happens next. You can’t help but to fall in love with all of these characters. I was drawn into this story on page one. The story takes you on a journey like no other. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible book.
Havana is ready for the holidays but her friends are telling her that they can’t go to her party. She is sad but more turkey for her. Havana is finishing up her night at work but then three very hot men come looking for her. She is afraid that they are cop so she runs but she runs into danger. Havana has discovered that the new flu vaccine is turning all the humans into some type of monsters. She came very close of becoming a meal but one of the men saves her life. Havana now has to depend on Gabriel, Liam, and Mason with her life. She notices that something is off about them but what. Havana gets to know these men and she starts to develop feelings for them. Who will Havana choose and will they find a cure for this epidemic?
I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all hot romance, suspense, and mystery. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Havana is a very strong woman and she knows what she wants. She is not afraid of speaking her mind. The men in this book will make you swoon. They have their own personalities and you will fall in love with all of them. Gabriel is moody and dark but he treats Havana like a princess. Liam is beautiful and very humorous. Mason is a sweetheart that would do anything to make Havana smile. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your toes curl. This talented author will have you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what will happen to these unforgettable characters next.
Claiming Her Mates: Book 1: (A Paranormal Shifter Romance Series)
By Dia Cole
4 stars
I really enjoyed this story; it had this great originality to it that made it really interesting to read. I quite like shifter stories and have read a few and Claiming Her Mates was definitely one of my favourites that I have read. This book is also the first that I have read by this author and I thought that she had a really engaging writing style, one that captured my attention easily and held it throughout the book. I really liked Havana and I thought that she was a strong female lead in the story. I will admit I’m not usually one for stories that involved or potentially involve multiple partners but it was different in this book and I loved how protective Liam, Mason and Gabriel were over Havana.
This book has definitely paved the way for what I think will be a great series and I am definitely looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Claiming her Mates by Dia Cole a four-star read you will want to claim. This is the first novel in the Claiming her mate’s series and it’s a paranormal shifter romance, not everyone likes the genre, but this is a very well-done example. What a story, there is drama and steam a plenty, what made it even more powerful is Vana, she could have been swallowed up by the three powerful male characters, but she isn’t, she stands toe to toe. The chemistry between the four is page melting and we hear from each of them, that just makes the story so much clearer. There was something missing overall, but I am sure that the next novel in the series will give us that little extra as we will have more of a grounding, bring on number two.
Claiming Her Mates (Claiming Her Mates #1) by Dia Cole
5 out of 5 stars
Claiming Her Mates is the first book in Claiming Her Mates series written by Dia Cole and the first book that I have read by this author and it won’t be the last. This author had me sitting by the seat of my pants with this great paranormal story. The characters are amazing and well written and the way she wrote the scenery was great.
Havana has everyone bailing on her holiday party, she didn’t think the night could get any worse. Then three scorching hot men storm the club and demand she goes with them. Thinking they’re cops, then she finds out there not cops, then she discovers the flu vaccine is turning people into zombies.
Now her survival depends on Mason, Gabriel, and Liam three Lyko’s shifters who swore to protector her. She should be terrified of their glowing eyes and the way they destroy any threat in their path, but all she can think about is claiming the fierce men as my own. All three of them…
Now he has one problem:
Her ex has threatened to eviscerate any man who touches her. Too bad the deadly Alpha male isn’t here. He’ll rue the day he broke my heart and ordered his three gorgeous friends to rescue her.
I highly recommend this story and can’t wait for the next story in this series…..

Why? Oh Why did this book have to come to an end!? Claiming Her Mates is simply phenomenal, it’s a book I read in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to put it down. This is the first book in the Claiming Her Mates series, a series I can’t wait to continue reading. This book is captivating, action-packed, original, steamy and a true page-turner.
If you’re looking for a one of a kind paranormal read look no further! This is the book for you! It’s one you won’t want to miss!
I can’t wait to read more from this author in the near future and I would absolutely recommend this book and author!
Claiming Her Mates is the first book in this series. It is a cliffhanger and is left open for more of the story to develop. This is a short book and it only took me a few hours to finish it. The plot moves fairly quickly so if you like a slow burn, this probably isn’t the series for you.
I like the unconventional aspects of the Lykos origin. It leaves room for flexible mythology and story development rather than having to follow traditional Lycan myth. I also love that this is a book that has multiple partner relationships. That always spices things up. It adds dimension that the author chose varying stations of the male partners as well, so it isn’t your typical alpha male fest.
I found that Claiming Her Mates is a superb distraction when you are under a tattoo needle for three hours and need something to focus on.
Claiming Her Mates book one written by Dia Cole. This is a genre I enjoy reading. It’s always a nice break from reality to read this type of story. Claiming Her Mates has a few unique twists to it though, so it’s definitely not your average shifter story. Vana (Havana) is working as a stripper just trying to get by since she no longer works for Nathan (who’s also her ex). With a virus being spread around she doesn’t have many options when three gorgeous men show up and say they need her to go with them, that Nathan sent them.
This story gets your attention from the beginning and hold it with vanas mouthy comments and the need the men have when it comes to her. Only things aren’t always what they seem…especially when there’s one female and three males stuck at the sanctuary during a snow storm….what could possibly go wrong, I mean how hard would it be to stay away from her….turns out, impossibly hard.
Claiming Her Mates: Book One: (A paranormal shifter romance series) by Dia Cole. I was definitely taken by surprise with this unique take on shifter romance story. I knew going in I was in for quite the ride but I got so much more than I was expecting and all in a good way. Each character brings something unique and different to the story and it’s well written with some very steamy parts. This is my first book by this author and I can’t wait to read more! From page one I was completely hooked and couldn’t stop reading until I hit the end. If you’re looking for a paranormal romance with so twists and turns then this is for you. I’m giving this book a four star review and highly recommend it to anyone.
Claiming Her Mates is book one and is part of the Paranormal Shifter Romance by Dia Cole. Having never read this author before, I was excited to see what was being delivered. I was not disappointed. I don’t often read paranormal romances, and it is even rarer for me to pick up a shifter romance. I am glad I did.
Havana has her hands full of with not one but three men. Mason, Gabriel and Liam take caring for Havana very seriously, and will do everything in their power to keep her safe. Claiming Her Mates is a steamy romance that will heighten the senses and raise the heartbeat. The author spun the tale brilliantly and each character complimented the other, and the guts of the story was evident and entertaining. 4 stars
I have always enjoyed paranormal, fantasy, magic, thriller, and mystery books. Dia Cole Claming Her Mates is a great story. Ms. Cole has developed characters that kept my interest the entire time. I am not a huge fan of romance stories, but I do like the paranormal romance stories. Another thing I like about the paranormal stories is the only limitation is the reader’s imagination. I love all the twists, turns, bends, good, and the bad things that come with the territory of paranormal stories. This story is about Havana and three protectors. There is a problem on the horizon, and will Havana stay safe? Read on to find out.
Zombies apocalypse and werewolf. Yikes. I really enjoyed reading about Havana, Mason, Liam and Gabriel. This is book 1 in the series and i am waiting at the edge of my seat for book 2. Havana is heart broken from her ex. But when 3 hot guys show up at her work she doesn’t know what to do. She doesn’t know her ex sent them to protect her and take her to safety. Dang this book.was hot. I need book 2

Four Stars
Claiming Her Mates: Book One is a paranormal shifter romance Series by Dia Cole. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Cole, but definitely won’t be the last. This book had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last.

This book has a little of everything, Zombies, Werewolf shifters, Worldwide pandemic and steamy reverse harem romance between Havana and the Lykos shifter’s. This fast paced, action pact story is full of intrigue, suspense, drama, mystery and hot romance. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in this series.
