Release Day Review: Claimed (Breaking Free Book 7) by A.M Arthur





CLAIMED: An Omegaverse Story 
Breaking Free Book Seven 
Release Date: November 15, 2018




Blurb:

University student Demir Higgs is on the fast-track to graduate with honors and dive straight into medical school. His career plan leaves little time for dating, so after he catches his casual boyfriend cheating, Demir attends an anonymous sex party, determined to finally lose his virginity. He chooses an older alpha in a red mask and the man takes Demir apart piece by glorious piece, worshiping his body in ways Demir never imagined. Too bad he’ll never see the man again.

After his bondmate disappeared eleven years ago, Senior Constable Brandt Lars fell into his work and avoided dating, disinterested in relationships. Not until the boy in the blue mask. Introducing the young beta to the wonders of sex was Brandt’s absolute pleasure, and he can’t stop thinking about him—until Brandt comes face to face with Blue in the form of Demir Higgs, the middle son of a work colleague. Demir is equally drawn to Brandt and their chemistry is through the roof. The age difference is an issue, but their attraction is real, and stolen moments turn into a secret relationship they both enjoy…but something is still missing.

Years ago, Oliver Strand lost all his memories in a horrible car wreck that left his face scarred and his sense of smell obliterated. But he built a new life for himself and his son, and now he’s visiting Sansbury Province as a guest speaker at a territory-wide anti-sex-trafficking conference. What he does not expect to find at the conference is an alpha he doesn’t know, but who insists Oliver is his missing mate Ollie Lars, who disappeared the same week as Oliver’s accident.

Brandt is overjoyed to discover his bondmate is alive, despite Oliver having no memory of his old life in Sansbury, and he’s determined to keep both mate and son in his life. But he’s also in love with Demir and doesn’t want to lose him. Demir is ready to be the bigger person and step aside so the Lars family can be together again—until Demir realizes he and Oliver have unique chemistry of their own. And they’ve also both been claimed by the same alpha.

Can a grumpy alpha in love with two men, an omega with no memory of his mate, and a beta determined to chart his own course find a way to navigate the complicated waters of a poly relationship? Or will all three men end up stranded alone with broken hearts?

NOTE: This is a non-shifter, M/M/M Omegaverse story with alpha/omega/beta dynamics, heats, knotting, and mpreg. In this world, omegas are second-class citizens, but they are working toward gaining more civil rights and protections under the law. Series warnings for mentions of past physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Additional warnings for extremely kinky sex, including dirty talk, light spanking, biting, edging, roughhousing, come-swapping, and threesomes. This series is best read in numerical order.

Claimed is Book 7 in A.M. Arthur’s Breaking Free series and cannot be read as a standalone! This is a fantastic series and world that the author has created, and I highly recommend reading the entire series!

I was excited to get Demir’s story! He is such a special character who I’ve loved since his initial introduction. Brandt Lars isn’t new to the series either, but he’s played a small role. The author did a brilliant job with his backstory and heartbreaking history. And then the surprising addition of Oliver to the story furthered the heartbreaking theme.

The kidnapping ring goes much further than their province and for the first time made me curious about other provinces. From this book and previous ones, we know each province tends to be cut off from each other and they all have different beliefs. Maybe once the author runs out of Sansbury couples, she’ll explore the other provinces and create HEA’s all over their worlds. ;-)

In a lot of books, I skip the sex scenes, or read the first one and skip the rest. This book had many scenes and when I got to the end. I realized I read them all. The author does a great job of keeping it from being repetitive and uses it to really enhance the building of Demir, Oliver and Brandt’s relationship. I truly love this series. I love the world that the author has created and even the smallest things bringing this world together. If you have not read this series, or if you’re looking to try an M-Preg book, this series should be the one you start with. Grab all of them now!

Rating 5 stars!!
