Claimed by Two #2

by Tammy Walsh

After human females are no longer capable of becoming pregnant, I enter a program to be Seeded by an alien male. But when I’m forced to pull out, I’m left with no way to become pregnant… until my path crosses another alien male desperate to mate. And when my original male tracks me down and refuses to give me up… well, you know what they say…

Two’s company, three’s a thrill!

When they touch me, I yearn for more.
When they kiss me, I surrender in gratitude.
When they undress me, I ache to scream their names.
And when they make me fly, I soar higher than ever before.

But after they discover we each share a part of the sacred Joisa tattoo, it can mean only one thing… That we’re destined to become fated mates. I discover my true desires, as well as the dark secrets they keep hidden away from prying eyes…

Great Story !! . . .

Lizzy joins a program where she will become pregnant through a compatible alien. The males went into heat, their “Steyatt”, that lasted for a week, so the females were locked in a room for continuous mating until the 7 days was over. Listening to all the howls, grunts, and groans was making her very nervous. Then a fiery red brute came toward her. She was terrified, but a shimmering blue alien stopped the other before he grabbed her and they fought. The blue alien won as the other moved away and a kind voice asked if she was okay. Then he touched her palm with his and recited something… when she just said “ditto”, he smiled and intertwined their fingers. Blor was her mate, as he had caught her scent as soon as he came into the room. And she was happy to end up bonded with him. Just as they finished their first encounter and thought about food, there was a knock at the door. When Lizzy is told the father she hardly knew had died, she has to leave her mate and return home.

Arriving at the planet where her father had lived, a large male of the same species as Blor entered the shuttle and greeted her. His name was Uhti and his skin wasn’t blue, but was a milky lemon yellow. He took her to see what her father left to her, which turned out to be a private planet and all the buildings he had designed and built on it. She knocked a toaster off a shelf and Uhti bent to pick up the pieces. She also reached out and both jumped back when they touched. He handed her a cup of water and the kindness on his face let her open up and talk to him about the father she didn’t really know. Uhti, his assistant, obviously knew him far better than she did.

Blor in the meantime is coming to find his bonded mate. Having met Uhti, it is obvious the two of them have some kind of spark as well. Will Blor and Uhti discover that they are likewise mates, each marked with the sacred Joisa tattoo? Could the three of them find happiness together? Or will Blor refuse to share his bonded mate with someone else?

It's not the worst, but not the best either. It was just a quick read, not really a jaw-dropping, gasp inducing book like one would want. It does need some editing because the author seemed to forget how they described their male characters or using the wrong description for the wrong character. Also, now that I think about it, we never really was given a description of the fmc. All in all, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but I would say if you're bored and want a quick read, it may be for you. There's much to be wanted tho, you have to subscribe to get an epilogue, which isn't fun because I wanted to read a book that actually is finished, and this just felt so unfinished. We didn't get a group scene, nor did we get a baby it's quite annoying.

"...a link in a chain of what it means to be alive."

Lizzy isn't just ready to have a kid, she's taking charge of the matter and going the extra mile to do what it takes to get pregnant sooner rather than later.

Unfortunately, life has a way of detailing the best laid plans, but sometimes it's how those obstacles are dealt with that tells you the most about a person. Charm, and a meet-cute are one thing, but reality is next level.

And reality isn't just tossing physical obstacles, it's confronting her with emotional baggage, and offering up a second equal temptation.

This done in one kindle unlimited book hits a lot of emotional buttons, Lizzy is preparing to start a family, and is faced with not only the childhood she thought she had, but discovering new truths about her father, and trying to understand if maybe her own past was colored by her emotions. I loved how Blor and Uhti offered ways to think about her father, and present events, trying to find a balance for her emotional turmoil.

Steamy 3 ½ stars. - This is Lizzy, Blor and Uhti’s story. Just like the first book in the series, it's not that lengthy. It comes with steamy scenes, action-filled conflict, and HEA. The premise is interesting but I think the author should rewrite the book blurb to start with “Earth men are no longer capable of getting Earth women pregnant so signed up for the alien seeding program”. After all, the women can still get pregnant which is why they travel to the seeding center. Therefore, the sentence “After human females are no longer capable of becoming pregnant” is not true. Anyway, another interesting read! I borrowed a copy via Kindle Unlimited and voluntarily chose to review it.

Tammy has brought to her readers another wonderful story. Lizzie wants a baby and she takes the plunge to go to a seeding facility. Blor is at the same facility to go through his Steyatt. They barely get together when they are interrupted and Lizzie needs to go home, immediately. Once there she meets her dad's second in command, Uhti. Both Blor and Uhti are Elkik, and both know Lizzie is their fated mates. How will that work? Will one step aside? How about the mark? So much happens in this story: adventure, hope, danger, angst, and so much steam.

Some what of a cliff hanger. Our girl is rescued by her lovers who finally find out they are her true Mates & crash on a planet. Of course one has a beacon for them to be rescued but that’s the end of the book. She has more money that the HIVE wants- will there be more attempts especially when they find the deception in the contract? Now the guys gotta share - can the do that??? Unanswered questions but I’m not gonna buy more unless they pop up free.

This book is well worth the money paid for it the complexity between the three main characters is not what you would expect. The only thing that confused me was the description of uhti and blor it described them as both having horns but on the book cover none are evident.

[E Oygard · Rating 2 out of 5]

Disgusted

I am disgusted that in order to access the final chapter to see what happens to the characters, you have to sign up for it. This has put me off this author for good. This story leads nowhere in the relationship. I thought it may continue in a second book. Spare yourself the bother and bypass this story.

[Jeanéva Christie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Death brings its own rewards.
When Lizzy's chance at seeding is interrupted by the news that her estranged father has died, she never thought it would lead to two fated mates. Nor, did she think she'd end up in a dangerous situation that required rescuing by Uhti and Blor. These two though would do anything to save the love of their lives.

[Emzy Strong · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fabulous from start to finish. So many twists and turns in this one. I absolutely loved it. My heart definitely took a pounding on this one. The characters were so wonderfully complex. The different aspects that the reader was exposed to this time was amazing. The plot was full of intrigue and spice which is definitely a fun time in my estimation.

Good But

Tammy Walsh books are good reads But the last few books fell like they end too soon that they need a few more chapters. This book more than any others. I hope it does not get worse.

Two sexy alien mates

Lizzy, Blor and Uhti have a unique storyline. I enjoyed the time Lizzy had with each male, and the uneasy partnership Blor and Uhti made to rescue Lizzy; however, I would love to see more of their interactions as a threesome.

Twice the loving and the danger. This story was okay. The characters were interesting and the emotions from the FMC were relatable. Glad she got what she wanted in the end. Reviewed by Who She Reads

Needs something…

While the storyline is compelling the characters didn���t grab my affection. Lizzy was ok, but besides the sexy times none of them was not interesting.

Awesome book, great read, should read it if you haven't read sci-fi. The author is amazing in her writing skills.

[Roberta · Rating 5 out of 5]

You COULD say this is a reverse harem, why choose story, but that would sell it short. There’s more to it and that’s what appeals to me. First off, there’s an interesting family backstory going on for our heroine Lizzy. She’s been told her father was a ne’er-do-well businessman who abandoned his family, so when she’s told about his death, her feelings are complicated: anger, yearning for affection, curiosity, and sadness. Right after a mind-blowing sexual encounter with Blor, an alien who she hopes can help her start the family she craves, Lizzy is summoned to her father’s funeral, and they are forced to part. Once Blor discovers he has received a mating mark that indicates Lizzy is his fated mate, he HAS to find her, only to discover that her impoverished parent was actually a business tycoon and Lizzy is his heir. And he’s not the only alpha male who has captured her attention. Uhti, her dad’s second-in-command, is convinced that Lizzy is HIS fated mate. The second story thread I found engaging was the push-and-pull between Blor and Uhti. As rivals, they detest each other, but each one wants Lizzy’s happiness more than his own. They put aside their one-upsmanship to ally in an effort to save Lizzy from kidnappers (think a Borg-like entity called the Hive). Lizzy, being human, doesn’t understand the kind of link that exists between fated mates; all she knows is that both guys send her senses into orbit. The third element of the story that gave it unusual depth is the way each character must reassess his or her role and get past preconceptions about what relationships, both familial and romantic, can look like.

A very quick read. Lizzy is attending the Seeding amongst other females wanting to have a child. What an interesting concept. She also has some issues with her past and the fact her father was never a part of that upbringing. This was the main idea in this book. Her issues with her father and now that he has passed away what that entails. At the seeding she meets Blor. He feels something for Lizzy right from the beginning. I guess being human she does not have that intense desire that he has. Then she meets Uhti and he also has had feelings for her just from a picture. She has all these mixed emotions because of Blor but Uhti makes her feel things as well. It was entertaining seeing the men face off with each other and how they both loved her so much. Then when they had to work together to save her both of them had their eyes open to the other one. But in the end, it is Lizzy that calls the shots for these two gorgeous, muscular alien males- as she calls them. A good short read lots of adventure and hot loving going on in this book.

[Merissa (Archaeolibrarian) · Rating 4 out of 5]

OWNED BY TWO is the first book in what I presume to be a new series. It tells the story of Lizzy, a human female who wants children, and the two aliens she falls in lust with. I say lust because as of now there's the fated bond and lust, but that's it.

Blor and Uhti are two very different individuals, but both want to be with Lizzy. She has some major adjustments to make when her father dies and she realises things aren't as she thought. Throw in some dodgy dealings and unscrupulous minds, and you've got a story worth reading.

Although this was a fun read, I did feel as though it skimmed over the surface in places. But if it is the first book, then deeper things may come along in future books, now the characters are known.

All in all, it was a good read that I enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.

I really enjoyed the story about Lizzie, who is a human and Blor and Uhti, who are Elkik. Lizzie met Blor at the Seeding Facility where she hoped to become pregnant and Blor could go through his Steyatt, but after they had only had one steamy moment together, they were interrupted by a knock at the door, telling Lizzie that her father had passed away, and she needed to go. She left the seeding facility and returned to the planet that her father owned where she met Uhti who had been her father second in command. They had an intimate moment, and he learned that she was his Joisa which meant fated mate. But when they learn that Blor is also her fated mate, Uhti ready to bow out, thinking that he is not her fated mate as well, they learn that they both are her mates. There is lots of action and drama and lots of hot steamy moments between these characters but this was an exciting story and well worth reading.

This was a quick and very enjoyable read and i loved every page i turned and how three people who each had different wants and desires end up finding each other and are fated mates but its more because they all have the scared Joisa Tattoo connecting them together as one. Lizzy is a human that’s wants a child and needs alien sperm to achieve this and thats what brings her to the seeding program and gets matched to Blor and they have a steamy encounter but it’s interrupted by her Father death and so she leaves. Now she meets Uhti her fathers assistant and he helps her with her estate who was quiet rich but her attaction to him sees them steaming up thee sheets and then Blor turns up only to find his mate with another male and both fight over Lizzy because she is there mate and when she goes missing they realize they both love her and are willing to share. When they come together and see that they all have the same tattoo and it’s scared that makes them a whole. Great book.

Lizzy (h) signs up for an alien breeding program in hopes of having a child and the idea of an encounter with an alien fascinates her. Blor (H) fights for the right to claim Lizzy and after things get hot and steamy between the two, Lizzy is suddenly called away by the death of her estranged father. She journeys to her father’s estate, and while she misses Blor, Lizzy finds herself drawn to her late father’s assistant, Uhti (H). Blor discovers he bears a sacred tattoo that denotes he found his fated mate and comes after Lizzy, and when Uhti discovers the tattoo on Lizzy he’s convinced that she’s his fated mate, setting up a love triangle of sorts. When Lizzy is threatened, Uhti and Blor will have to learn to trust, rely on, and work together to rescue the woman they both love. Lots of action and adventure with violence and danger. Hot and steamy alien MF and MFM action. A fun fated mates romantic adventure.

[CelticMoonGoddess · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading another of Tammy Walsh's books called Mated by Two and was a steamy, sexy, erotic adventure so happy to read another such story and certainly not disappointed.
I like Tammy's books and perspective as get to enter deeper as story flows from the three main characters thoughts and more interesting and enjoyable. It is a longer story so not a short erotic novel so plenty of detail, background, sex and interaction to connect in with the characters and discover how the story unfolds and progresses. It may be set in sci-fi world and fantasy but does not detract from the fun, enjoyment and erotic elements to the story, narrative, characters and intrique.
Can be read alone, but there is a unlying background story and elements from other books so adds another level and mystery if you read other "By Two" stories.

So well written, full of suspense, action, love and hot steamy scenes. Lizzy meets up with Blor at a seeding area where they are together for the first time but due to her father's death, she has to leave before their seven days together are up. After their mating, he does notice the mark on her back saying that they are fated mates. She goes to her father's funeral and meets up with Uhti and they end up together. He sees the marking on her back and tries to change it to his own mark. She falls for both of them and wants both of them at the same time. Lots of steamy hot scenes between them. Excellent read. would recommend to all who love hot sexy aliens.

[Ramona · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found this story engaging that's about Lizzy who joined a seeding program to have a baby. Her experience at the claiming ceremony with Blor who knew Lizzy was his mate and afterward when she was summoned away to handle her dead father's estate. It's there she meets her father's assistant, Uhti. Uhti also has a mate connection with Lizzy. As Blor finds his mate and discovers another male attached to Lizzy, what will Lizzy do? This theme is one I've read many times before, but I did find the characters well depicted and likable, the storyline engaging and the romance steamy in this copy I received and that I volunteer to read and review.

[Dyanna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lizzy is human and signed up for the Seeding program, since it’s the best way to get pregnant in the universe she lives in.
She meets Blor at the Seed facility, and they have a very steamy encounter, that is interrupted when she is informed of her father’s death.
She leaves the facility to deal with that and meets Uhti, her late father’s executive assistant. After a close encounter they have a steamy encounter.
Blor shows up looking for her because he realized after she left that she was his fated mate.
Plenty of steam, drama, and suspense.

This was an enjoyable story of human women who have to search for aliens to get pregnant. Raya signs up for the alien breeding program. She ends up with two aliens instead of just one. Tres and Essak are warring species who only tolerate each other because they want to be with Raya. When the trio find that a sacred tattoo forms that is from a prophecy. They learn to trust each other so they can stop the fighting between the Kras and Ojara. Fantastic action, adventure, danger, violence, and some sporadic steam. Find out if they are able to reach their HEA all together.
