OMG, this book was so good. It will keep you on the edge of your seat with the action and the heat. I was happy, mad, sad, hot and so many more emotions that are too hard to name. I finished this at work and my coworkers were trying to figure out what was wrong with me when I was banging on my desk when I finished. I loved this book so much except for the cliffhanger. I have to wait for the next book and that is going to be so hard. I need more. I have to know what happens. Betty, you did it again. I can’t wait for book 3. I will have to reread this book again just to get my fix.
You need to read book 1, Claimed Royalty, before you dive into Twice Claimed because this book picks up where book 1 stopped.
Queen Fiora’s on a mission to save her people and her country, and nothing will stop her. If you read my first review, I let it be known then that the author way laying the groundwork for Belore to attempt to attack, and that he does. He’s relentless, but don’t worry. Fiora is strong, brave, and smart. This story is intense, you’ll fly through a huge range of emotions while you follow along Fiora’s adventure. By the end though, you’ll want to throw you’re reading device, but don’t you need it to read book 3. After this ending, you’ll want to dive right in and find out how it all ends. I know I did.
Again, Ms. Shreffler has written engaging characters with a wonderful story. You’re pulled in from the beginning and led along by the nose until the very end.
**I received an ARC of this story and this is my honest and voluntary review.
Part 2 in the series does not disappoint. I though the first was great, but will say this one is even better. There is so much that goes on you will not put it down until done, and that’s saying a lot as I work and hard to get the luxury, but with this one, just didn’t give myself a choice, as I just had to find out what was next.
Very well written with real characters with a bit of a great background that makes it even better. The future has so many perks. I’m not a spoiler, but will say that this is a must read. It’s HAF for one lol. The story is great and keeps you on edge. Has so many twist and turns, woman, men, enemies, secrets, heartache, it has it all. Did I mention the men, yes men. I recommend this as a great read and can’t wait to read the nest.
I didn’t think I could love the second book in this series more then the first but oh how wrong I was! This book was so much better then I could of imagined and Fi was even more fierce then ever but she is dealt a choice in this book that no matter what her heart will be broken! I can’t wait to start the next book!!!!
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book
A nice additional to the series. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
I truly enjoy this book and will most definitely read it again. The story kept me in the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen the only question I have is when do we get the next installment
Wow! I thought Royalty Claimed was amazing, but Twice Claimed had me quickly turning pages to see what happens next. Betty Shreffler draws you into Anauka and the surrounding territories with descriptions so vivid you want to add it as your next vacation destination. Twice Claimed is sexy read and Queen Fiora is one lucky woman.
The second book in this series and it gets better and better. It’s and edge of your seat wild ride and it put my emotions through the wringer. I loved every second! I can’t wait for book 3.
Hotter and way more intense then the first story I was hooked once again. I loved the emotions this story had the sad, happy all of them you really felt with Fi was going through on each and every page. Each event that takes place is a new adventure and one I can’t read fast enough. I really enjoyed all the heartache and the strength that came with each one. This time around I didn’t feel as if I was reading some weird hunger games type love story it was it’s own and really showed. The action was just as amazing in this story. Can I say Hott like omg I was in love with the hottness so much, sexy and all. The characters are out of this world amazing I loved each one I meet in this story. This is for a hott must read.
How do you put into words exactly how this book made you feel? I went on a rollercoaster ride with my emotions, one point I was laughing and then the next crying or mad. Lol the addition to this series does not disappoint and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Queen Fiora is an amazing strong lead character who you come to respect. This book starts where book 1 left off so you aren’t trying to play catch up. This is the type of book I love to read and I think it was better than the first one!!!! I can’t wait for book 3 of this series!
This second book had me rapidly turning pages with Fiora going through multiple tragedies, loss, gains, finding love, losing love. I never knew whether I was going to be laughing, crying or becoming angry with side characters plots. Ryker is smoking hot, and their chemistry is out of this world. But Mattheas has her heart also. Can’t wait for more of this series.
Twice Claimed is the second book in the Crowned and Claimed series by Betty Shreffler. The books must be read in order. This series has everything I look for in a book: action, suspense, great characters, lots of steamy scenes, and the feels. I absolutely love reading a story where I can feel what the characters are feeling. This author gives you all of this in every book she writes.
Twice Claimed picks up with Matheas and Fiora heading to safety in the Free Territory. They encounter many obstacles on their way. Once they reach the free territory it is very clear to King Ryker that Fiora and Matheas have a very deep love for each other. Matheas needs to leave the Free Territory for a while. Fiora receives very disturbing news, she leans heavily on Ryker for strength and guidance. During this time Fiora and Ryker’s feelings toward each other grow. Soon they decide it would be best for their territories to form an alliance to which they announce their engagement.
Matheas or Ryker, how is Fiora to choose?! She’s been in love with Matheas her whole life. We’ll have to wait to read book 3, Forever Claimed, to find out.
After reading this I need to know where I can find the Rakian herbal strips as well as the natural glowing pool of water with its “magic powers”.
Omg, omg, omg.. Is all I have to say. If I could give more then 5 stars I would it like 10 stars.. I love this one as much as Claimed Royalty. I laugh and cried, I also almost throw my kindle when I read the last line in the book. I can’t wait to see what next in this series.. Also if you have not read book one you need to read that one too. I am in need of book 3 Forever Claimed.
Well I did not expect to fall in love with Twice Claimed. This is one of the best books I have ever read. You have to read this book. It will keep you on your toes. I just could not put it down. Well done Betty Shreffler.
WOW!! Betty’s writing just gets better & better.
This is the second book in a trilogy and you must read book 1 (Claimed Royalty) before starting this one. Twice Claimed is full of suspense, steamy romance & yes you will need tissues. The twist / cliffhanger at the end of the book will have you shouting noooo!! A well written, emotional and edge of your seat story.
Book two in a three book series and it is absolutely amazing! I love how Betty Shreffler has written the heroine, Fiora. She is strong without being overbearing, vulnerable without being weak, and able to hold her own among the men, leading in times of struggle as well as any King could do. I love that she brought out every possible set of “feels” that readers could experience in this book. And that doesn’t even begin to touch on the amazing sexy times. So hot!
Fiora has to deal with heartbreak, soul searching, newfound passion, and life-changing attacks from an evil man trying to take over her family’s lands. Ryker is King of the Free territory and has vowed to help Fiora overthrow the devious Belore. Matheas puts his love and his life on the line to try to rescue her family in the midst of the chaos.
Between the action, the steamy love scenes, and the well-written characters that will draw you in, Betty Shreffler delivers another hit with a cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more. I can’t wait to find out how it all plays out in book 3.
This continuation of the series did not disappoint. The action had me gasping out loud. The choices that Fiora has to make would tear anyone apart. I can not wait for the next book to see what happens. Just hope my heart doesn’t get torn in half
what amazing read that will have you loving this story that will have you hooked after the cliff hanger.
