Wake had lived in fear for far too long.Life hadn’t been easy for him. Every day he resisted his natural instincts to claim the one female meant for him. An event from his past stopped him in his tracks every time his primal urges pushed him toward her.Paige accepted the role she played in Wake’s life. She was the one he wanted but never allowed himself to have. But when someone else showed … have. But when someone else showed interest in her, Wake had to decide once and for all.
Putting his heart on the line left the shifter vulnerable, something he never wanted to be again. And just when he gave in to his instincts, fate dealt the pair a cruel hand.
Nightmares came true, causing Paige to flee to the only place she felt safe—in the arms of Wake.
Pack life wasn’t an easy life, but Paige wouldn’t give up the man who held her heart.
Only together could the two move forward and find the happiness they both deserved.

I’m claiming Wake and Paige one can’t go with out the other lol! What an amazing story! Wake has self doubt and doesn’t think that he deserves Paige but Paige thinks he doesn’t want her!!
This book is every emotion all round in one big ball!
Michelle Dare’s writing flows with such ease as her characters come to life, it ebbs and flows gracefully with every page that is written, I am star struck!!
Wow, I literally don’t know how to write this review. I thought Michelle had written her best work with The Ariane Trilogy but she has continued that trend with so much ease. Wake isn’t your usual Alpha shifter, he is more submissive, until pushed too far! This book had me looking at Wake in such a different light. Great storyline fantastic characters and so much light hearted humour. I can’t recommend it enough. I need more stars!
An Incredibly amazing story of Wakes claim on his true love. This story has your heart broken at times but then put back together in another. Wake is questioning his entire thought pricess aftervwhat happened last time with Daria. He connected with Paige but can he get over his fears to be her true love, her mate? When you read this story your pulled in some many directions but Wake is such a broken person without Paige. We see powerful forces come back to haunt the pack & cause pain. An Incredible story, Wakes journey, Paiges fight for Wake and trouble comes calling. An Incredible book that you will LOVE. I cant wait to read the next book in the Paranormals of Avynwood series which is Fords book x
Michelle delivers again . This book will give you all the feels. Paige and Wake’s story is truly amazing and beautifully written. Once I started reading I couldn’t stop. Wake and Paige journey was absolutely well written and had me glued too my kindle. I absolutely love this story and absolutely love these characters. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Wake has been through a lot and is having trouble coming to terms with it all. He has feelings for Paige and Paige for him the problem he’s afraid that she will get hurt and pushes everyone including her away thinking it’s for the best. Will he realize that he needs Paige in his life before it’s too late or will he let her walk away. Loved seeing these characters again after the Ariane trilogy. Another great paranormal read my Michelle Dare. Can’t wait for more
Another YA Paranormal Winner!!
Based on the same characters from the Avynwood Pack that we met in The Ariane Trilogy, this is Wake & Paige’s story (of how they get together as a couple). Although this is a stand-alone book, you don’t have to read The Ariane Trilogy, it’s helpful and definitely worth it, for both the world building/background info as well as because it really is a Great Series in its own right.
Wake’s Claim is set after The Ariane Trilogy and we pick up with Paige & Wake in alternating Points Of View for each chapter. This is great, as it lets you know where both our Hero & Heroine are and what’s going on with each one.
Wake’s Claim, the first book in the Paranormals of Avynwood Series, is a great continuation of the paranormal world that Michelle Dare created in The Ariane Trilogy. The main characters, as well as the side characters, are all well developed, easily making me want to know them as well. No typo’s/grammar errors and a solid plot with good twists to keep you entertained. As for a rating, I’d say Mild, but 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!! Definitely, a must-read for fans of young adult, paranormal genre!
I enjoyed this very emotional read. Wake and Paige’s story offers plenty of angst, emotional turmoil and drama. The engaging romance holds your attention well as desire wars with fear and puts love at risk.
This book is based on Wake and Paige’s story. If you have read The Ariane Trilogy Orion and Ariane’s stories then you’re familiar with the shifters of the Avynwood Wolf Pack, their mates and friends as well as their vampire and fae friends. If you haven’t read the series than I HIGHLY recommend it as they contain very important moments and events that you will need to be aware of before reading this book.
Wake has known for a long time that Paige is his mate – but he cannot escape his fears and nightmares from the past. How is he suppose to trust the Mate bond when he has been fooled in the past? Will he be able to overcome his doubts and fear and succumb to the bond? Wake thinks what’s best for him and Paige is to leave the pack and her and allow Paige to move on. But when Paige is an accident he is no longer able to deny the connection especially when another male is interested in his mate.
Paige finds it impossible to forget him and move on – and when danger strikes at her, they can only survive together. Paige wants what Ari and Rion have with Wake, but he is constantly avoiding her and won’t admit that there is a connection between them. Being around Wake is too hard and is constantly hurting, especially when Wake isn’t willing to take a chance, Paige finally has enough and tells Wake to leave and stay away. But when her life is in danger she will have to stay close to Wake and the Pack.
Well Michelle what can I say… you have absolutely done it again. Wakes Claim is another FANTABULOUS book. I have been waiting patiently or as patiently as I can muster to read Wake and Paige’s book ever since I meet them in ‘The Ash Moon’. My heart was constantly breaking for Wake with him always doubting himself and not believing he was important or worth anything. This book is full of so many raw emotions, I was crying at times then to laugh because Solomon, Ford and Wake would be mucking around and taking the p**s out of each other. The bed scene in the cabin with Wake, Paige, Ari, Orion, Ford and Solomon had me in stitches, they are all so good together. Even Aries seemed to be much lighter and happier in this book that I was wishing I was apart of the Pack Family.
It was so good to get to read Wake and Paige’s story but to also have glimpses into some of our previous favourite characters was so great. I did feel though that the story did have a slow start and rushed ending but it was still very well written with a fabulous storyline and wonderful characters. I can’t wait to read and see what you have in store for Ford but also the rest of the characters.
I’ll be honest, when I downloaded this book to read, I was dreading reading it. Not that I expected it to be a bad book, quite the opposite actually. I was just tired of reading. I had just finished my third book in a week and I really wanted a break. However, I had already read the Trilogy that inspired this book and I was anxious to read the new books being released. So I sucked it up and started the book. I read it in 4 hours. I couldn’t put it down. It is a fantastic book! It provides updates from the trilogy I was dying to know. This book might be a standalone but I highly recommend the books that inspired this story. I cannot say enough about how awesome this book is. It has drama, suspense, passion, everything you can expect can be found in this book. Please get your copy and read away. I am hooked again to this series and cannot wait for the next book to be released!
