Model and notorious family fcuk up, 25-year-old Sophia Morelli, again, finds herself at Violent Delights, a kink club owned by her brother. Never having participated, she continues visiting in the hopes someone will catch her attention.
When Damon Pierce locks eyes with Sophia, he immediately knows their encounter will be different than all his others.
I’m loving Damon’s fierce protectiveness and Sophia’s strength. Their smoking hot chemistry combined with an action-packed plot had me flipping the pages as fast as I could go. Defy can’t come soon enough!!

I loved Damon & Sophia! I loved that Sophia didn’t take crap from anyone. I loved that Damon thought he was going to hold her at arm’s length. He just couldn’t. To see more of the Morelli background come to light, and realize what Damon is carrying truly broke my heart. We’ve seen all of those kids walk through abuse, and come out the other side. I love the Morellis. Each story was so well written. I can’t wait for more!

Rating: 4.5/5
Not having read any other books by Snow before, I didn’t know what to expect before reading Claim. Needless to say, it didn’t disappoint at all. This intriguing and steamy romance is the first book in the Violent Delights Trilogy. A trilogy not to be missed!
As a model, Sophia Morelli is used to having press following her every move. What was once felt good to be a tabloid darling, now it’s just another duty to fulfill. One that comes with a lot of criticism from those around her. But trouble seems to follow her everywhere she goes and her parents think that she is a disappointment while living a life of sin. What they don’t know is just how wrong the press has been about her and it’s because of what she’d endured that has made Sophia build walls around her.
Yet, there is freedom in exchange of control and power. So she heads to Violent Delights, her brother’s club to explore what she’s always wanted and set the girl hidden deep inside her free. It’s the minute she catches the attention of Damon Pierce that her world turns upside down. Sophia is warned of how dangerous he is, but there is something about him that is hard to ignore. He is magnetic and possessive, who also has a past that could threaten a chance at them forming a future together.
Damon Pierce might be the sought-after architect in New York, but at Violent Delights he has a dangerous reputation. Everyone knows that he has no interest in emotional entanglements, especially after what happened with his last Sub. At the club, he could pretend to be someone else and not one haunted by a past. So when he spots a gorgeous beauty, Damon is drawn to her the minute their eyes meet. Sophia is like no one and he wants her no matter what. But what starts off as a one-night thing turns into so much more and the longer he gets to know her, the harder it gets for him to stay away.
I absolutely loved reading Claim, it’s a good start to the trilogy. There is so much that happens in the story, it was suspenseful and well-developed. It’s evident that the characters have instant chemistry that develops over time throughout the book. They are able to lean on each other and Damon gets to be the overly possessive alpha-hero to the rescue. I loved Sophia’s relationship with her older brother, Lucian, who has his own separate book as well. As the black sheep of the family, they stick together and they understand each other. The ending does end on a cliffhanger and I cannot wait read what happens next!
***I received an advanced copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own.***

I don’t know who at Dangerous Press pick authors for this world but they smashed it when they picked Sienna Snow! Her addition to the Morelli world might just be one of my favorites!
This steamy story is so much more than the BDSM world it’s in. This is a story of two people coming to terms with themselves as they actively try to not fall for each other.
Sophia is one of the black sheep in the Morelli family and she owns it, even though most of her “past indiscretions” are lies that everyone believes too easily. That is except for Damon, he sees the real Sophia, but can he work through his own demons and see that he could have a real future with her?
I love the world of the Morelli’s, I love the emotion, the drama, the spice and the fact that this story isn’t quite done yet. Yes, this is a trilogy, so no HEA quite yet, and yes this does end with a dreaded cliffhanger, but don’t let that stop you. This is a great story, with characters we know and love. I can’t wait to see what Sienna has in store for us next!

Sienna Snow is a new to me author, and let me tell you, Claim was the perfect first read!!
Seriously though, how could it not be? It's set in the Midnight Dynasty world and centers around the other Morelli black sheep Sophia. I love her!! She is strong, independent, sassy, and feisty. Why is she a black sheep? Because no one bothers to ask if rumors about her are true or not. You know who does? Damon Pierce, a Dom at Violent Delights....you know Lucian Morelli’s adult club. The problem? Past experience causes him to keep everyone at arms length.
Oh, how I'm loving their story and watching the distant Damon fall!!
This is book 1 of a trilogy, so there is a cliffhanger, and it's a one!!

This was horrible 💀
Plain boring. Even the spice and the book legit starts off with them in a sex club 😭
They interact I think six times? and 4/6 they say they can't be together and leave each other. But guess what?! THEY LOVE EACH OTHER when they meet for the sixth time!! SOULMATES WHO HARDLY INTERACT!! We love to see it... NOT.
Only reason I finished this book is because it was only 200 pages (and honestly I should have just DNFed because it was a waste of my time. It's safe to say I will not be continuing the trilogy 😊

We’re back in the Midnight Dynasty world of the warring Morelli & Constantine families, focusing on Sophia Morelli who’s decided it’s time to take life by its horns and live it the way she desires!
You can’t be an offspring of Bryant Morelli and not be …. um … #IYKYK (if this is your first experience with this family, you might not know the complete #fuckery that is Bryant Morelli, so you just have to trust me), so Sophia’s personality and circumstances are of no surprise to me. She’s known to be the wild one, the nonconformist, the black sheep, etc etc but really, she’s just a woman full of dark shadows hiding behind a façade.
Damon Pierce, with his own dark and shadowy circumstances could not have been more perfect for a woman like Sophia if I’d have fictionally created him myself! I have less than very little experience with Sienna Snow’s writing, but after experienced this first look into what I know is going to be an incredibly explosive journey between Sophia Morelli and Damon Pierce, I am all kinds of ready to find out more about her writing skills!
I’m excited to see where she takes this journey. So far it has been exciting and captivating, sexy and delicious and has built from the first page without really letting the reader know what it was building towards. Well done so far! I can’t wait until August for more!
Sophia Morelli is coming after Tinsley Constantine for that special place in my heart and soul and I AM HERE FOR IT! #IYKYK ;)

Sophia Morelli, 25, Lucian's baby sister, and together they are the outcast, the black sheep of the Morelli family. Sophia often visits her brother's kink club, Violent Delights, as a spectator but has yet to become a participant.
She feels safe to take her time exploring her secret parts in her bother's club, because she knows he vets every member and if anything bad were to happen, Lucian would always take care of her.
But than she catches the eye of Damon Pierce, 35, Dom Extraordinaire, who is instantly taken with the raven-eyed beauty. Damon plays just once and only with experience submissives; no vulnerabilities, no emotions, no long-term entanglements, no pain.
Damon feels a very strong pull towards Sophia, especially her submissive side, but Sophia does not admit to having submissive tendencies, the last thing I ever wanted to be was submissive to any-damn-body.
Told in dual POV, alternating between Sophia and Damon, the way they each experience their sexy scenes was hot. But in between all the hot encounters, there is simultaneously a predator lurking and that is was has kept me reading. I am more invested into the who-did-it, than their whole BDSM-power play dynamic, and am looking forward to book 2.
Also, I feel like we lost the whole purpose of the Midnight Dynasty... , especially the part of the warring Morelli and Constantine families!
The last couple of books were more about all these siblings getting their HEA, intertwining the families.
ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
Part of the Violent Delights Trilogy and must be read in order:
Welcome to the Midnight Dynasty... The warring Morelli and Constantine families have enough bad blood to fill an ocean, and their brand new stories will be told by your favorite dangerous romance authors.

So this is a new to me author, first book I have read by her. Through various social media platforms and even book friends she comes highly recommended. If you choose specifically to read my review, please read through to the end so that you understand the context between how I rated the book.
Did I love this book? No. Do I hate this book? Also no. Would I have chosen this book to be the book that introduced me to the author? Probably not. BUT again, please let me explain.
This is a novella. A short read, about 2 and a half hours. So I read it cover to cover. The downside to novellas is that they HAVE to be more fast paced. The story line here is phenomenal. I did enjoy it. However, I feel like had this been a full length, it could have developed more. I say that knowing it is meant to be part of a series.
To elaborate further, our FMC Sophia is a head strong stubborn woman. But she’s also a fighter and has been through h3ll. This author did an amazing job when she built this character. Sophia has so much dimension. I would have liked to have seen that explored a bit more. More in her determination to hold her ground. More holding out and making Damon work a little more. He does love her fire after all. But again, novella means fast paced. I believe the author to be more than capable because this book was so hard to put down.
Moving to the storyline, you have Sophia and our MMC, Damon. Sophia is trying to figure herself out. While she has family, she is lonely. Her brother owns a kink club and has “allowed” her to go. After a long day, she goes not expecting anything, only to be a spectator. She didn’t expect to meet Damon.
The attraction is instant, but not in a bad way. Damon has his own past, secrets, and reputation. He also has a rule, ONE night only. But Sophia isn’t like the others. And after she reveals something the night they met, he’s conflicted. He should walk away. It’s best for her. But she draws him in with her innocence and makes him feel things he never has. Oh, and she’s his friend’s little sister.
I say again, this story line and these characters, will quickly draw you in. And before you know it, it is over…speaking of ending, back to the whole “it’s a series thing,” there is a cliffhanger. One that leaves with 100000 questions and no answers. Oh and spice 🥵
I would recommend this book but caution you to read the TW/CW. And also keep in mind it is a novella so while it’s not 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, it does move quickly. Enjoy!
Happy Reading Ya’ll ✌🏼

thank you valentine pr and literary management for this arc! this book will release on may 23, 2023
this was a pretty quick read and it was pretty decent. i felt like the blurb sounded so intriguing, and overall, the execution of this was relatively well done. sophia was definitely a confident women who knew what she wanted and took actions into her own hands. damon was a bit too hot and cold for me, but i did enjoy how dominant he was. the spice was decent, but it didn’t feel like it was anything exceptional. i think i would have enjoyed seeing more passion and chemistry between sophia and damon because their relationship felt a little bit rushed to me. there were a lot of heavy topics covered in this quick read, so be sure to check trigger warnings before diving in. overall, this was a decent quick read, but it personally was not anything exceptional for me.
“you think like a woman who knows her worth.”

Ooh, I loved this. Sophia Morelli wants to explore her secret desires in a club, and comes across her brother's friend, Damon. And these two start a push and pull sort of relationship, where she's always being warned away then drawn back in. And it's hot. The whole dynamic between these two, where he's a dom but she totally holds her own power, I feel like he really needed a woman like her on his side. And yes, it ends in a cliffhanger. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a trilogy, and the ending has me wanting the next book immediately.
Also, as a side note, I am obsessed with this whole Midnight Dynasty world and all involved.

<3.5 stars>
I adore the Midnight Dynasty world of Morellis and Constantines- the drama, the elite antics, the delicious antiheroes and erotic charisma, I just gobble every book up! Sienna Snow is a new to me author, but I was excited to see her take on this alluring world.
I’ve been obsessed with the whole Morelli crew, though I must admit, my curiosity hasn’t been centered on Sophia, the middle sister who in prior books quite honestly is a bit forgettable. Not her fault really- the Morelli patriarch spawned a veritable litter of heirs, all of whom have a tendency to be much more demanding (ahem Lucian) louder (oh delicious Leo), more mysteriously alluring (meow Carter), or more emotionally affecting (our dear Eva)- so in the entire brood, she’s popped out to me the least. But Sienna does a good job of developing her into a more dimensional and provocative character. I found her quite interesting, even if I don’t quite remember her being characterized in this way in prior stories…but then again, she wasn’t quite memorable as a secondary character. But here she certainly stands out as a worthy Morelli leading lady. Equal parts innocence and desire, with that characteristic Morelli calcified baggage, and just coming into her own. There’s more to her backstory that we clearly need to explore (her performative personality is given a mere cliff’s notes explanation) but given the subplot, it’s clear we’re going to dig into more.
Damon on the other hand felt a bit one dimensional to me- a bit Christian Grey in personality and sexual preferences, and hey, he even has ex-submissive baggage too. His mercurial obsession with Sophia is at odds with some past baggage which we also get a glimpse into. And he’s a sexy enough lover. Again- with a 50 shades BDSM vibe, the spice nothing overly unique but enjoyable. The spice hits fine, and since these two have a lusty beginning, their connection really feels only that- even though they seem to be in a much deeper place by the end of the book that I don’t think was really developed to in a way that I bought into their chemistry yet. The relational evolution felt a bit rushed- I just need more emotional connection from them, and I’m hoping we get it into the next book. Lucian and Damon’s chemistry actually was super entertaining.
There’s a lot of potential here for this relationship to evolve to an interesting place, and the last 20% was really engaging and exciting as the secondary plot digs in- I’m curious to see where this goes next- and all the Morelli cameos are always my favorite.
I adore the Midnight Dynasty world of Morellis and Constantines- the drama, the elite antics, the delicious antiheroes and erotic charisma, I just gobble every book up! Sienna Snow is a new to me author, but I was excited to see her take on this alluring world.
I’ve been obsessed with the whole Morelli crew, though I must admit, my curiosity hasn’t been centered on Sophia, the middle sister who in prior books quite honestly is a bit forgettable. Not her fault really- the Morelli patriarch spawned a veritable litter of heirs, all of whom have a tendency to be much more demanding (ahem Lucian) louder (oh delicious Leo), more mysteriously alluring (meow Carter), or more emotionally affecting (our dear Eva)- so in the entire brood, she’s popped out to me the least. But Sienna does a good job of developing her into a more dimensional and provocative character. I found her quite interesting, even if I don’t quite remember her being characterized in this way in prior stories…but then again, she wasn’t quite memorable as a secondary character. But here she certainly stands out as a worthy Morelli leading lady. Equal parts innocence and desire, with that characteristic Morelli calcified baggage, and just coming into her own. There’s more to her backstory that we clearly need to explore (her performative personality is given a mere cliff’s notes explanation) but given the subplot, it’s clear we’re going to dig into more.
Damon on the other hand felt a bit one dimensional to me- a bit Christian Grey in personality and sexual preferences, and hey, he even has ex-submissive baggage too. His mercurial obsession with Sophia is at odds with some past baggage which we also get a glimpse into. And he’s a sexy enough lover. Again- with a 50 shades BDSM vibe, the spice nothing overly unique but enjoyable. The spice hits fine, and since these two have a lusty beginning, their connection really feels only that- even though they seem to be in a much deeper place by the end of the book that I don’t think was really developed to in a way that I bought into their chemistry yet.

Sophia has always been the wild child of the Morelli family, even though all that is being said about her is far from the truth. Needing to explore her sexuality, Sophia goes to her older brother's k1nk club. Normally just to watch... until she meets Damon. And he just might be the dom she needs. But only for one night, right? 👀
"𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐚. 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞."
"𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦, 𝐌𝐫. 𝐏𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞?"
Oh these two were made for each other. There is still so much more for Sophia to explore in the whole BDSM aspect. And I am here for it.
Sophia and Damon both have many layers. I loved them together so much. The heat between them was palpable. 🔥🔥🔥
Sienna Snow wrote a very enthralling first book of the series and after a twist that ended in a cliffhanger, I cannot wait to read what happens next. Bring on August!
As always reading about the other characters in the Midnight Dynasty world is amazing. I love the little bits of extra we get of them. Makes me want to reread their own stories. BUT it is not needed to read other stories before reading this one.

CLAIM (VIOLENT DELIGHTS BOOK ONE)
Release Date: 05/23/23
Kindle Unlimited: [ ]YES [X]NO
Stand-alone: [ ]YES [X]NO
Author: Sienna Snow
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Spiciness rating: 🌶🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
POV: Dual, first person
Main Characters: Sophia & Damon
Genre: Dark Romance
Tropes: age-gap; friend’s sister; BDSM; will they/won’t they; OTT hero;
Review:
Obsessive dominant hero? ✅
Strong heroine (meaning she is tough and determined and not that she acts like a raging teen)? ✅
Very hot scenes? ✅
The darkness we expect from the Midnight? ✅
That being said, we finally get to know the true-self of Sophia Morelli, the problem child, the black sheep. While reading Eva’s book I could have a glimpse of who was in fact Sophia. Here we discover she wasn’t what we thought.
In Claim, she decides to explore her dark instincts in Lucian’s club, and there she meets Damon, who also has a fame on himself. Their beginning is combustible, but also complicated since they can’t get to terms to if they should continue seeing each other or don’t.
I really like that Sophia knows what she wants and doesn’t accept less. She is assertive and strong willed. Sienna managed here something most authors don’t (in my opinion, of course), to write a strong female lead without her sounding over. As for Damon, he is the OTT broken hero, do I have to say more?
This is book one of three and I’m already excitedly waiting for the next one.

**ARC REVIEW****
This book!!!! OMG!!!!
The spice I can’t !!!! 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Meet Sophia Morelli - wild child of the family. Just wanting her parents approval. Without it, she wants to rebel against her family.
“No matter what, I’d keep searching until I discovered the girl hidden deep inside me and set her free. I’d tell her she was safe and could be herself without consequences”
She decides to venture into her brother Lucian’s club - Violent Delights - “hedonist and a strictly forbidden space” as Sophia describes it!
Enter in Damon Pierce - architect, brooding, dangerous man (people think he is a murderer).
“he’s the type of Dom every sub needs to watch herself around”
We see the story unfold on how they meet and the sexual chemistry between the two of them, omg!!
“I’d wanted her from the moment I’d set my eyes on her…”
“…and each time you don’t listen, expect consequences….”
Sophia doesn’t take his sh** and he can’t stay away from her! Damon likes to have this armour up protecting himself but starts to show cracks in that as he wants to claim Sophia for himself
The story of what happens in Sophia’s past and Damon’s past brings them closer together.
Do they fall in love? You will have to read to find out! You definitely won’t be disappointed !
The way this book ended on a cliff hanger I screamed!!!! Already adding the next book to my TBR as I need to know what happens next!!!
5 star read without a doubt!!!
Thank you to Sienna and Valentine PR for the arc. This review is my own opinion 😊

Sophia Morelli, what a naughty, but strong girl!
Damon Pierce is a known Dom within the Violent Delights club, run by none other than Lucian Morelli. Does Sophia, Lucian's younger sister, feel odd seeking pleasure where her brother could potentially see her, not really, it actually brings her a sense of comfort knowing her brother runs a safe club and if anything bad were to happen to her, he'd always step in and take care of her.
Damon doesn't back down when Sophia enters his sights, even knowing that she's Lucian's sister. He's drawn to her and her submissive side, even when she can't admit she had submissive tendencies herself.
This is the first book in this trilogy and it dives right into the smexy end of things between the leading couple. There wasn't a lot of build up or deep dive development between them before the clothes were shed, but there is more of an underlying story that progresses after the nekky times.
Honestly the intrigue that was just beginning at the end of the book fascinated me more than the power play between them in the BDSM club. A 4.5 star read overall.

Claim was a splendid journey into Sophia Morelli, another sibling of the infamous Midnight Dynasty series. Sophia is making a name for herself as the “wild” Morelli. The tabloids and the paparazzi love to document her escapades and report on her sensational outings, to the detriment of her parents disapproval. But is it all what it seems?
Damon, a Dom in the club owned by Lucian, becomes enamoured when he sees her in the club and they promise one night to discover the attraction. With this couple the push and pull became a vicious cycle, until they could not ignore the connection they both felt.
I loved both of these characters. They each have their history that created who they are and they struggle with the challenges of a relationship.
Beautiful story!

WHAT THE F***!!!!???? Was my exact reaction to the end of this book! I was not expecting a cliffhanger, I need the next book now!!
I adore Sophia and Damon, it’s brothers best friend AND age gap which is a match made in heaven if you ask me! Their story was so angsty, full of tension and so incredibly hot! The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat the entire way through!
It was such a quick read, the story flowed so well and as I said after that cliffhanger I need book 2 right about now!

Claim is part of the midnight dynasty universe and is absolutely amazing. I loved it and devoured it.
I Really liked Sophia Morelli’s sass and feistiness and Damon Pierce is the ultra alpha Dom. Gorgeous and somewhat broken. Sophia is just the right woman for him. Darkness from his past and Sophia’s overprotective brother Lycian cause problems though.
Claim is a must read and very well written. Can’t wait for book 2! A++

Ugh the ‘I never cared for anything or anyone until you trope’ has me in a chokehold, just like Damon has Sophia and me in chokehold 😏 I eat it up EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
The brother’s friend trope, yes plss! Age gap? Check. Dom/sub? Yeppp
I love how Sophia doesn’t just do what people tell her to. I relate to her being the black sheep of the family.
But whyyyy would you end it on such a cliffhanger!! If only I find out who actually did it!

Sophia Morelli has always been known as the "wild child" in the family but what we thought we knew about her partying ways was only a facade. Claim by Sienna Snow is her story with the enigmatic, possessive, and brooding Damon Pierce. I was pleasantly surprised by this book and loved how the author was able to use what we already knew about Sophia and develop her into such a strong but vulnerable heroine. This vulnerability of hers would eventually capture the attention of Damon Pierce, Lucian Morelli's best friend, and throw them both into a whirlwind romance that neither expected. Despite my frustrations with Damon's hot and cold attitude regarding Sophia, I liked that he owned up to it because he simply could not stay away from her. He tried to push her away because of his past but like a moth to a flame, Damon was obsessed with her and grew increasingly possessive of Sophia.
In the end, Sophia Morelli and Damon Pierce's story was an unexpected surprise and I really enjoyed their explosive, intense, dirty, and incredibly spicy relationship. I was impressed by Sienna Snow's writing and characterization. This book does end with a cliffhanger that left me speechless and frustrated because it made me want to read Defy immediately. Lucian Morelli from Heartless made a spectacular cameo in Sophia's book, which comes as no surprise as she was close to him. I loved their relationship because Lucian tried to be protective older brother but failed to persuade Sophia and Damon away from each other. I appreciated the fact that they had their own issues to overcome—Damon was haunted by a failed relationship while Sophia was pretending to be someone she was not. Fans of the Midnight Dynasty world will not want to miss out on Sophia and Damon's book because it features a sweet but powerful heroine who knows her own worth and isn't afraid to challenge her brooding and possessive hero.

"Claiming you means you're mine, Sophia. I will use any means necessary to protect you. I'm not letting you go. I can't… There is no escape for you now."

This was my first Sienna Snow book, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
Sophia Morelli is 25, and in her family, she’s the black sheep. Does she care? No. She doesn’t give a f*ck what her family thinks or really what anyone thinks of her. She just lives her life the way she wants to. When she goes to Lucian’s, her brother and the other black sheep of the family, kink club, Violent Delights, where she runs into a Dom.
Damon Pierce, 35, is a man with a past and a reputation. He’s regarded with fear and comes across as callous and unable to form a true attachment to anyone. He’s a Dom at Violent Delights and is instantly attracted to Sophia.
It’s forbidden for them to be together because of Damon’s past and the fact that Sophia’s brother is Damon’s friend, and he definitely does not want Sophia having any interaction with Damon. But again, Sophia doesn’t let anyone tell her what she can and cannot do. While she knows Damon isn’t a relationship guy, she still likes to explore her kinks with him. She’s very submissive, in that respect.
While I enjoyed this story, I did have a hard time seeing their relationship evolve. It just seemed like one moment, they were both sure that they had no feelings, and the next, they do have feelings. Anway, it ended on a cliffhanger, so I’ll be waiting for the next book.

This was a very quick read and was my introduction to this author. I like the way she writes and I'm very intrigued by this couple. I'm a big fan of the Morelli family, so I dove right in. I also like how the cover model's watch dots the "I" in claim. Lol. I love stuff like that.
So Sophia Morelli is the wild child baby of the Morelli family. She wants to explore her kinky side and does so at her oldest brother Lucian's kink club Violent Delights. She feels safe there, not weirded out. I would feel weirded out, but that's just me, maybe. Damon Piece is a Master Dom who has a deadly reputation and likes to play with experienced subs. These two are attracted to each other like magnets.
All sorts of things come out about their pasts and it sets up the remainder of the books nicely. I'm looking forward to reading them. However, I do have issues. Of course. If I didn't have issues, I wouldn't be Marie.
He's a Master Dom. Dominate. He's a tad wishy washy. I need you, no stay away, no I need you, no I'm your Dom, no stay away I'll never see you again...All the back and forth aggravated my vertigo.
As far as Sophia goes...girl. I'm a little tired of these billionaire gorgeous models being 25 year old virgins. Um, no. Then she's just going to hop on a stranger Dom at a club for the first time? Weird.
For being a D/s relationship, where's the kink? One use of a flogger, withheld an orgasm, some spanking...that's my typical Friday. Be kinky yo. Go.all.out. Damon says "Our scenes together should tell you how intense I am". Really, it's pretty mundane.
I have other things I was like, really? But overall I'll read it. It's Morelli. I love Morelli. Maybe Leo might show up. But seriously it does sound intriguing and it ended on a cliffie as these ones always do. So I'll read more and see how it goes.

My first read from the author and i'm in love with how she bring Sofia character to life.
Sofia Morelli is the wild child. The party girl. The black sheep daughter.
The missunderstood. For her facade, Sofia is an abused, scared child who erected cold wall to protect her self from her parents, from society judgement, from people who love to broken her if she let them see even one single tears.
But for Damon Pierce, her tears, her pain and her submissiveness is the glorious beuty he ever seen. This Dom has fallen hard. And my God how it was shattering moment.
With Damon's past, with rumour surrounded him, with his own darkness, it was beautiful swoon worthy anti hero way when he claimed Sofia and vow he will make everyone who hurt her pay in the most horrible way!
I'm not a fav of BDSM club scene. But, i got to say, Sienna Snow's way of creating particular scene involving Damon and Sofia in the club feels like white noise for me. Its there. Its strong. But not over power that make my tummy clench in over antisipasi. Not sure if you understand what i'm saying, but if you've read BDSM club scene before, i'm sure you know.
Anothet thing i love about this book is how Ms. Snow bring Lucian. I love Leo, but he's being cameo so many times and Lucian need his. Love Sofia have him as her confidant. As her man in the corner of black sheep in the family. Love how Lucian as big protective brother with "hurt her and you'll suffer" to Damon. And Liz! The baby in the family! Excited to meet her in her own story.
And finally, the parents.
After sweet lovey dovey Morelli mom n dad as grandparents, good thing to remind me that these two are abusive parents. How the treat their children are hideous. Specially to Sofia in this book, oh how i love to see them eat their own medicine over and over and over again.

Sophia Morelli is the wild child of the Morelli family, well, at least that's what the media thinks. The truth is everything said about Sophia is a lie and she's a lot more innocent than people know. She decides she's ready to explore kink at her brother's club, Violent Delights. It's there she meets Damon Price, a Dom, and her brother's friend. Damon is immediately drawn to Sophia and they spend the night together exploring her submissive side. He tries to stay away from her after that night, but he can't help the pull he has towards her.
This was a quick read that was a great start to a new series. I was pleasantly surprised with the plot, romance, and spice. My favorite part of this story is Sophia. She's strong, confident, and knows her worth. I liked that she wasn't afraid to go toe to toe with Damon. They have a great push and pull in spicy scenes that left me wanting more. I'm excited to see how the overall plot progresses over the next two books. I hope we get more of the Morelli's popping up, especially Lyriope because she'll bring Nick, the love of my life, with her 😍
Thank you to Sienna Snow and Valentine PR for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.

◇ BDSM Club
◇ Dom/Brat
◇ Light Praise
◇ Hand Necklaces (lots)
◇ Insta Obsession
She's the misunderstood, tabloid headliner heiress/model. He's the grumpy, self-loathing Dom with a reputation. Together, they're a bit of a mess but oddly work.
I felt like there were definitely some holes in the story that didn't make sense. The entire relationship between Sophie and Damian was a whole lot of push and pull, back and forth, will we or won't we. Very Edward Cullen "You should stay away from me because I'm dangerous but also I can't stay away from you."
The spice was good, BUT let there be a disclaimer that this is not an accurate portrayal of the BDSM community and should not be taken as an instruction manual.

I'm a huge fan of BDSM stories, and so I was really excited to read CLAIM, by a new to me author Sienna Snow. And it didn't disappoint. As this is so much more than a BDSM story.
As Sophia Morelli the wild child and black sheep of the Morelli family and a frequent visitor to her brother Lucian's kink club makes the leap from voyeur to participant and chooses the one man she shouldn't to play with.
That man being the dark, dangerous Damon Pierce a friend of Lucian's and a dominant. Who has a reputation and a dark history. So he knows he should stay far away from Sophia.
But fate conspires to push them together and soon Damon is ready to claim her.
Only Sophia is adamant she isn't submissive and feels frustrated by the feelings he envokes and his reactions to her.
However, when Sophia makes a reckless move against a vindictive and sleazy designer, it's Damon and not her brother she turns too. But his help doesn't quite go to plan.
And with off the charts chemistry, lots of sexy moments, intrigue and difficult situations broached. This is a fantastic read. That ends with a cliffhanger. Which has me desperately counting down the days until Defy is released. And I would happily recommend this story to all.
Am now off to see what other books of Sienna's I can read in the meantime!
My thanks to Sienna Snow and Valentine PR for the opportunity to read an early copy of Claim.

KC Rating: 4.5🍁 | 1.5🌶️
And midnight dynasty is back! With a new fantastic instalment focusing on Sophia Morelli and Damon Pierce! We get plot, we get angst and tension, suspense, spice of the charts and just everything that i love in a book!
Now do be warned that this is the first book in a trilogy, and ends on a cliffhanger and i wanted to fling my kindle because i need to know what happens next pronto!
I loved Sophia and Damon, the instant attraction between the two, the chemistry and the back and forth sparring was absolute delight to read! I loved how Sophia was submitting to Damon, but at the same was firm in what she wanted. Damon was also a great character, and i hope to see more of his character development in the future books!
For fans of Lucien and Ellain, we get to see them again, and that was great! Also, i’m sure everyone know just how much i “love” Bryant and Sarah Morelli, and well this book made he hate them a bit more as well! Also, i really want to know what it was that Sophia saw in her childhood.
Overall this was a great introduction to Sophia’s and Damon’s story and i hope that next books will be even better, and we get more BDSM elements and explore both Damon and Sophia to the fullest!
