This seems like an interesting book, but I am concerned about the whole "claiming" business. How does the author address this?

Thanks for the great review. I'll look into reading this series.

I love how the author starts the summary. It grabs the readers attention and starts drawing them in. The only thing that I feel some might not like is the part where it makes it seem her friend allowed this or she actually let it happen.

The author presents an intriguing dilemma. Will someone who has lived through abuse as a child, fall in love with her abuser as an adult? The aliens add an extra twist to the story line. This looks interesting. Great review!

I am addicted to this series for how well the author was able to describe everything from feelings, scenery, and what everyone looks like. I can't wait for book 3

This picks right up from Claimed by Nicolai. The descriptions of the surroundings were amazing to me.
