Excellent Story
Loved It!
What an awesome story. Parts of it was heartbreaking, parts were a descriptive delight, and the rest just kept me reading until the happily ever after. Still smiling!
Lacking plot climax
Ariella lives by herself in a cottage by the sea when she stumbles with a man that washed ashore.
Eric is a deep sea diver working for a company oil that was jumped by some guys wanting to get rid of him in order to avoid disrupting the company's plan.
Eric is 100% Daddy that wants to take care of Ariella after she brings him back to health. Ariella can't speak due to childhood trauma and Eric wants to help her.
The story was compelling, not much of a Little Mermaid retalling if you ask me, but it was good to see the focus to mental health and dealing with trauma.
The smexy scenes were H-O-T , but some of them were kind of unnecessary to the story. The climax of the plot (the main villains) fell to the background and everything was "resolved" in the epilogue as an offhand comment.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Sex Filled
Claimed was a good read; however, not as good as Captured. Claimed was a bit more graphic and the story did not flow as well due to this. I would have enjoyed a bit more story to go with the sex.
Pass Me My Fan!
This one’s a real scorcher. Loved both characters and the story had my toes curling with tension as to what would happen next...suspenseful. It could have been a tad longer. I hated that it ended. I wanted to go with them to the beach one more time. Get this one.
