Eat You Up by Lucy Leroux is book Two in A Shifter’s Claim Book Series. This is the story of Nina and Dmitri. I have read the previous book book (and Loved it!). Nina is traveling to her sister’s wedding who is marring her ex-fiancé. So its not a joyful trip but one she feel she has to make. When she boards the plan she is placed by Dmitri. Dmitri knew that he would probably meet his mate but wasn’t really that excited about it. But when Nina sat down beside him he knew she was his. There wasn’t anything he could do but try to keep his cool since they were on a plane. But then they hit a storm that took them to an emergency landing. That is when he took action to start to claim his mate. But of course things don’t go smoothly especially when he learns the job he is working on involves Nina’s ex. Just loved this book! I am a big fan of Ms. Leroux’s writing, so she is a must read for me.
Steamy, sexy shifter!
Lots of intrigue, action, corruption and bad blood for Nina and Dmitri to fight through in this book, the one thing never in doubt….their chemistry!
Dmitri may be an Alpha, he knows he is big and intimidating and whilst that may be advantageous for his job, it’s not when convincing his very human mate to trust him. Despite feeling the need to take over and protect Nina from the world, he is man enough to acknowledge she is smart, beautiful, determined, and whilst she might be a little emotionally fragile, she is also strong and fierce. I love that he pulls his wolf back far enough to stand by her side and support her, allowing her to make her own decisions, rather than forcing her to bend to his will.
A great shifter book with a twist, part of a series that I read on Kindle Unlimited. Hoping that Jodi and Cass both get their books at some point too!
The second book in the A Shifter’s Claim series a well written story and I hope there is going to be more in this series. This is werewolf Dmitri and human Nina’s story of suspense, drama, danger, a best friend’s betrayal, and romance.

This is the second book in the series and brings Dimitri and Nina’s story.The author does a great job building their story and pulling you in with her descriptive writing. She brings it to life with her detailed scenes and entertaining story line. There’s enough intrigue , danger and suspense to keep you glued to the pages and the steamy passion will melt your kindle. I loved and would recommend this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
I have no words. At least none that are more descriptive than: wow. I don’t think it was all that long ago that I last visited this world, but boy did I miss it. However, it’s been long enough that I didn’t even realize that I’d met Dmitri before. But that’s okay, because we get very up close and personal with him here. He is all ALPHA, and a lone wolf to boot. He’s completely blindsided to meet his match. Nina is the perfect partner for him. A bit of a loner herself, she’s got a spine of purified adamantine, which means she more than capable of holding her own when Dmitri starts getting overprotective. I loved the blend of science and magic in this book. It adds a whole new dimension of possibility to the world around us. And the way this story ties in several of the author’s other series is so much fun.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
I just love it when a hero is the one doing the chasing. To say the least, I was pretty happy with a hero like Dmitri. In fact, I think he is going to be liked by many. It’s not always easy to have a very, dominant Alpha go after his true mate with singular focus, while still not being overly pushy about it.
Dmitri recognizes Nina as his true mate immediately and he completely inserts himself into her life. He could have bullied and pushed, but instead made himself irresistible to her. The relationship was quick but he was so smooth in his pursuit it was impressive. I really like how he made Nina feel like she had a choice while still being so possessive.
Nina was also a pretty cool heroine. What happened to her was not cool and I thought at first she may be a doormat, but you learn real quick that she isn’t. She’s actually a pretty strong personality on her own and she will need it to handle Dmitri.
This was a great couple and I love that once again the author incorporated the elementals into this story line. Fun read!

Dmitri Ivanov, a high-end thief, is looking for something new and challenging. During the flight to Boston to complete a lucrative but entirely too tame job, a woman destined to be his mate is seated next to him. Her scent drives him crazy, and he struggles to keep himself under control until the flight is forced to land due to a bad blizzard they encounter.
Nina is a cardiac surgeon heading home from a conference to attend a wedding she really doesn’t want to go to, but it’s for family since her sister is marrying her ex! In order to continue to her destination, she must accept help from the pushy man she sat beside. They need to spend the night in a cabin when the weather worsens. But a one-night stand with the aggressive, possessive, attractive man presents a problem when Dmitri has no intention of leaving her and wants to be her plus-one at the wedding.
Dmitri’s new client turns out to be the father of Nina’s ex, and he needs to keep her safe. Can he claim his mate and protect her when his job and his personal life come together? Will she accept what he is and the life he leads?
I love shifter books and this one was intriguing. I loved the interaction of the characters, especially the strength in Nina who will need every bit of it to deal with the alpha werewolf. Grab your copy and enjoy the story as Dmitri meets his mate!
Loved this whole thing! I loved the initial set up of Dmitri finding his mate, Nina, on a plane and struggling not to claim her right away, and one of my favorite scenarios happens when they get snowed in for a bit. Some sexy steam! Then the story goes into a cool story about what Dmitri is involved in; some interesting magical elements, and I of course love the shifter aspect. Some action and danger to be had for both Dmitri and Nina. The chemistry is awesome between Nina and Dmitri; lots of spice and sweetness. He’s a sweetie and it’s so great how much he supports Nina. Nina is a tough, smart, self-less woman; sometimes she’s too self-less, too self-sacrificing, but I appreciated her level-headed thinking. They have a really good rapport. The story went into some interesting directions and I was totally entertained all the way through.
Eat You Up by Lucy Leroux is a paranormal romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Addison Barnes. This is the second book in the Shifter’s Claim series and can be read as a standalone.
This is the second book of Lucy’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. I really enjoyed the relationship that bloomed between Dimitri and Nina. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
Addison did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes paranormal romances or romantic suspense.
Audiobook Obsession Reviewer
Eat You Up (Shifter’s Claim, Book 2) drew me in the beginning and I enjoyed the plane ride. Dabbles with a bit of a mystery with a romanctic paranormal romance. Magical elements intertwined with adventure and danger. Character’s chemistry is sweet and spicy. A entertaining listen.
Addison Barnes naration was smooth and concise. Her tone followed characters emotions and each were given their own voice.
Audiobook Obsession
I enjoyed this read and want to go back and read about other characters in the books. Dmitri knew what he wanted and went after it without being a jerk about it. I enjoy Lucy’s read and this was another good one!
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read.
I loved this story, it has darkness, mystery, romance and lots of steam. Dimitri is an alpha wolf that knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to chase it. Nina is a independent and strong carrier woman that still wants love even if she fights it a bit. There are wonderful characters in this story, the plot keeps you reading and the love scenes fogs up your e-reader.

A captivating read from beginning to end! An exciting storyline that leaves you breathless wanting more! Sexy steam filled chemistry! Emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable and fun! One heck of a twisted, intense rollercoaster ride! An amazing must read!
I loved this storyline!! It has everything I love in an exciting and steamy romance.
The story started out with a mystery of her pain and how it was connected to her family then morphed into a humorous, engaging and suspenseful story. He was very intriguing with his secretive lifestyle and long distance helper (hope she gets her own story). Add in the workplace drama, the paranormal intrigue and her unknown connection to him and this story was a fun and fascinating story as well as vastly entertaining. Great storytelling. Recommend
