This is a short erotica novel about two brothers Hauk and Aeron (they're warriors) who wants to mate with Brianna, the human woman they saved in one of their missions. Considering the lack of women in their community, it's a custom to have two men mating with the same woman. However, Brianna isn't really comfortable with it and makes sure to avoid contacts with one of the two brothers. She's afraid of being with the two of them at the same time but her feelings for Aeron are growing and she can't stay away from them for long.
At the beginning, I felt like we were thrown into the story without a real explanation about the world they're living in or the heroine. But we found out after that the Earth has been destroyed and that a few humans have been saved from it 12 moon cycles ago (not sure about the 12 and yes, they're telling the time in moon cycles). There was a lack of plot, it can pass but I wish there was more of a story between the three characters.
Except for those details, I really liked reading the book and I wanted more. It was hot, steamy and I wouldn't mind another story like this one to read ;).
Enjoy!

Claiming Her Warriors by Savannah Stuart is a short Sci-Fi/futuristic erotic romance. I don't read much of this genre, but this short story turned out to be a pleasure to read. First of all, I must say up front that this book is a ménage story (M/F/M) involving two brothers mating with one woman. Therefore, I just wanted to put that out in case some readers might find this objectionable. If that's the case, then this story might not be your cup of tea.
This story takes place in Planet Lumineta, 2236. Brianna's home planet was destroyed due to wars and diseases that ravaged the planet. Luckily she was saved by Aeron, a Luminet warrior, and taken to Planet Lumineta. He'd been one of the warriors on the scouting mission that had saved her and the handful of human females from certain death. However, Aeron's planet is different than that of Brianna's. There aren't any incurable diseases and no war. Another difference is that there's a much higher ratio of males to females. Due to this, women are treated with nothing but respect by everyone.
From the moment Aeron met Brianna, the connection was instantaneous. After the pursuit of Brianna & after they'd finally slept together, he dropped the bomb on Brianna about mating with him and his brother. Lumineta has a custom of male-female-male joining meaning that if Brianna wanted to be with Aeron then she'll have to mate with his brother, Hauk, too. Brianna isn't too fond of this custom and needs time to adjust, but gradually she gives in & eventually falls for both brothers. However, when Brianna is attacked one night the brothers will stop at nothing to find who has attacked their mate.
I ended up enjoying Claiming Her Warriors a lot more than I thought I would since I'm not much of a Sci-Fi/futuristic romance reader. The brothers Aeron & Hauk were big, intimidating, yet they were very protective of Brianna and loving also. Alpha would be the perfect word to describe them. The sexual chemistry was palpable and the sex between the threesome was pretty sizzling hot. I must note that there was also a little sprinkle of suspense thrown into the story.
In all, Claiming Her Warriors was a steamy ménage story with futuristic elements. I found this read enjoyable and would recommend readers of romance to pick up this sci-fi/futuristic erotic romance if they're looking for a light, quick, and sexy ménage with a small touch of suspense.

I'm actually surprised that this was so good. (no don't gimmie that look, you know you make snap judgements about books too). This is book 2 in a series but it totally could be read as a standalone (which is what I did).
I found the world pretty fascinating so I bought book 1, so I can learn more about it and why it's setup this way (even though this one shares a bit about that, I still want the first story for more background and the other characters seem pretty awesome). I the mystery wasn't deep or a really huge plot point but it gave enough tension and a motive to them moving the plot forward.
I felt like Briana's emotions were valid and real, having to adjust to being the stranger in a new land (see what I did there?? ohh literary witticism i love it) as well as learning to accept their customs without losing sight of your own is pretty hard. I liked that these were discussed and that the male protags didn't exert pressure for Briana to come to to their side of things; they allowed their feelings to grow naturally and gave each of themselves time to come to terms with her as their new mate.
There was tension within the triad, that stemmed from the culture clash, as well as the pride one has in their culture. I enjoyed watching these being resolved, while honoring each of the their needs. It was great to see the romance flow as well watching as Briana opened up beyond her expectations. I enjoyed how quickly the story flowed and was enjoying the tension and the palpable chemistry within the trio.
I liked the glimpse of the world given and I can't wait to go back into it and read book 1 and then book three.
I would recommend this for those seeking a quick thrilling futuristic romance whit a great M/F/M trio.

This book made me laugh so hard. I laughed for obvious reasons--this is a romance novel and I am extremely uncomfortable with erotica. My favorite paranormal romances are more paranormal and less romance. The sexual situations in this book put me in stitches.
But perhaps the strongest reason I laughed so much is because I actually liked this book. The plot is completely plausible. It is conceivable that 250 years from now, Earth may destroy itself and that warriors from another planet may only be able to save 12 women from succumbing to the fiery inferno that marked the end of days. And it is totally possible that on this planet, the female birthrate is extremely low and M-F-M matings are not only socially and culturally acceptable, they are encouraged. Seriously. This could happen.
So I laugh because I have to give Savannah Stuart a ton of credit. While written in a genre that I don't enjoy, I can't argue with her world building or plot points. They are just TOO GOOD. They are thought-provoking and totally worthy of an actual science fiction novel.

It's pretty common knowledge to all who know my reading habits that there are two things I avoid like the plague. One, M/F/M. Give me three guys and I'm good to go. Throw a woman in the mix? Uh, no. Not my thing. Two, sci-fi. This book has both and for some reason I took a chance. I'm really glad I did. It's a fun story.
On Planet Lumineta there are more men than women so when a woman mates, she must mate with two males. Brianna was rescued from her own planet months earlier and has been pursued by Aeron, one of her rescuers. Aeron wants her to himself but in order to have her, he must allow his brother Hauk into the mix - and in their bed. Aeron gets jealous over the thought of his brother going anywhere near Brianna so there's a bit of drama as a result. There is more drama later (someone wants Brianna dead) but in the end, everything works out for the brothers and Brianna and they get their all-three-together-in-bed-happily-ever-after. ;)
Overall, a sexy little story. It's totally out there and that's exactly what I was looking for.

This book took me by surprise. I am typically not a fan of ménage stories; however, this one is written in such a way that it did not overshadow the romance/love between the three main characters.
Savannah Stuart puts a Sci Fi spin on this novella. You are given just enough world building that you understand the culture and custom of the people of Luminet. The customs of the people are why I believe I could understand the reason for multiple mates (male) to one female. I enjoyed the fact that Brianna, who is human, was not comfortable with the multiple mate custom. Savannah did a great job in describing Brianna’s feelings in such a way that I felt they mimicked my own (I would not have been comfortable with the idea of being with two brothers). Brianna did not immediately warm to the idea and Hauk and Aeron did not force her into either.
This story is beautifully written. I got past my apprehensions quickly and was able to focus on the romance between the three because the story does not focus strictly on the sex.
I received an ARC for an honest review.

**My thanks to NetGalley and the author, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This was a very quick novella that brings you to a new world where anything different was explained to you where needed and it built an exciting new place to explore with new customs.
In this novella we meet Brianna who is a human who has been rescued from her dying home planet and the two brothers that have previously mated a local woman who died in childbirth.
The first brother Aeron is starts of as jealous as he sees Brianna first and had started to pursue her. Hauk is the younger brother, but they both seem to be what the other needs to be in order to balance each other for their mate.
I liked the book enough that i would probably read the rest of the series, if not other books by this new to me author.

September 3, 2020I saw so much potential in this novella, but it just didn’t reach it. It was a nice story with hot sex scenes, it was an okay read. However there was limited character development and the storyline was, for a better word wrong. The story seemed to be missing an introduction and then it jumped between different scenes without any fill. The author needed to add a couple hundred more words; some to develop the characters and the rest for an introduction and more filling. The blurb of this book reminded me of the series Zorn Warriors by Dohner, Laurann however although the potential was there it did not reach the level of this series and overall it was disappointing.
July 5, 2017
This was a quick, hot, enjoyable read. Just right!
August 31, 2017
A really good book. Great dynamics between the romantic trio and I have always been a sucker for HEAs.
November 6, 2020
This was a short and steamy read. Although the plot doesn’t have much meat to it, the story was a fun distraction.

Brianna had come to Lumineta over twelve moon cycles prior. She and other women had been rescued from their blue planet, dying from the wounds of war and disease, by Aeron and his warriors had saved her and brought her and the other women to his planet. They had had only one night together when Brianna rejected a mating with Aeron and his brother Hauk. Afraid of the custom of Aeron's people of the females taking two mates. Brianna had walked away, but when her friend Saroya told her Aeron had been injured she knew she could not walk away. She had to make a relationship between the three of them work.
When she finally agreed to see where a relationship between the three would go Aeron begins to show signs of jealousy and she again walks away telling him to call her when he decides what he really wants. On the way home from Aeron's and Hauk's place she is attacked by someone from the shadows near her home. When Aeron and Hauk find out they bring her to their home to keep her safe. They then plan how to catch the fool who tried to harm their mate. With virtually no clues to follow the danger to Brianna grows as does the sexual tension between Brianna, Aeron and Hauk. Will a shadow keep the three from finding the happiness they deserve or will Hauk and Aeron's hearts break again at the loss of another mate.
Although set on another world and no definite origin of earth given I imagine we failed to heed the warning signs or learn from our past mistakes to the point that earth has become inhospitable to mankind. I can also imagine going to another world and looking at the peace and beauty and embracing a peaceful and advanced culture. A place where war and disease are a thing of the past, yet they people have learned to protect what they have attained. The link between Aeron and Brianna is strong, yet Aeron gave her the tie she needed to adjust to her new world before he began a hard push for Brianna. His pain at her rejection comes off the pages so that you feel it too as does as his confusion over his reactions to Hauk's kissing her. You will be surprised at who is behind the attack and hold your breath when that person gets Brianna in their clutches again. Your will not stop until the last word is read. Do not miss the opportunity to read the second book in Savannah Stuart's Future Romance series. I am going to have to get Heated Mating to see if it is as good as Claiming her Warriors. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

Warning: This book definitely carries a wet panties alert!
Luminet males had definite differences from human ones. They were taller, generally bigger, their bones were denser, but the really big difference was the ability to elongate their tongues. She'd heard about it even before Aeron, but actually feeling it...
CLAIMING HER WARRIORS by Savannah Stuart is the second sizzling HOT installment in the author's Lumineta series which is a futuristic sci-fi romance. No worries if you aren't into sci-fi, it's primarily an intensely emotional steamy romance. So have no fear that you'll need to wade through a plethora of sci fi gobbledygook, because that won't happen. I am reading this series out-of-order and can attest that each of the novellas is fully enjoyable as a stand-alone even though there are interconnected characters and a common setting.
CLAIMING HER WARRIORS is the story of human female Briana and alpha Lumineta warrior brothers Aeron and Hauk. Oh my! The brothers are magnificent male specimens. Together, the characters' chemistry was decisively beyond steamy.
Briana was rescued from her dying planet by a team of Lumineta warriors that included Aeron. She is strongly attracted to him and he wants to mate with her. But... because there is such a shortage of females on the planet, matings normally involve a coupling of two males, usually brothers, to one female. That scares Briana and she's not sure that will work for her. But, she's willing to give it a try...
I want to share that my first foray into reading a book that featured a ménage à trois was not good... so I was a little worried about delving into this one. However, I am beyond thrilled to report that this trio totally rocked and made me want more of the same! I hope that the author writes more trio stories as this one was excellent. I inhaled it while dreading that it would end... I need more of the same now!
Savannah Stuart is the pseudonym of New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katie Reus. I know when I pick up one of Katie's books, that I'm in for a treat with a guaranteed happy ending. Under the name of Savannah Stuart, she writes slightly hotter romance than her mainstream books. This book definitely carries a wet panties alert! I highly recommend CLAIMING HER WARRIORS to anyone who enjoys a well-plotted, well-written, steamy romantic read. I so want a set of these warriors for myself!

Title: Claiming Her Warriors (novella)
Series: N/A
Author: Savannah Stuart
Genre: Romance, Erotica
Blurb: Two brothers want to possess her…After her planet was destroyed, Brianna was rescued by two fierce and desperately gorgeous warrior brothers. Aeron and Hauk. They want to keep her, protect her, mate her. But what the brothers wanted from her was too much to handle. Settling into a new culture was hard enough without dealing with the custom that dictates she mate with two males. So she pushed them away. They’ll do anything to protect her…An attack sends Brianna back into the arms of the sexy brothers. Now they'll do whatever it takes to win her over. But can Brianna go against the conventions of her human nature and accept both warriors as her mates? It might not matter because someone is out for blood and it’s up to Aeron and Hauk to defend her against a deadly enemy.
Thoughts: This book is not really a part of a series, but it is connected to a previous book, Heated Mating. I wasn't aware of this when I first started it, but for me it was glaringly obvious that I was missing something. From the first few pages, it quickly became apparent that there was already this history between Brianna and the two men, Aeron especially. There were numerous other instances where it bothered me that I wasn't caught up with the history between these characters, and that really bothered me throughout the course of the book.
Another issue for me was the length. Granted, this is a novella, but it seemed like everything was a bit rushed to me. And then the end just sort of conveniently fell into place all of a sudden, and I really had expected a bit more. Part of the reason it bothered me so much, is because the story was really well written and interesting. I liked her style of writing, the inventiveness behind the world of Luminess, and the even the characters. Once I was done though, I was really left wanting quite a bit more.
I will probably read more by this author in the future - some of her longer length titles - but this one was just okay. I think it could have been better, especially if it were more drawn out and lengthier. If you're looking for a quick read though, it's really interesting, action packed, and has some scorcher erotic moments that might get you a little hot and breathless.

Series: N/A
Author: Savannah Stuart
Genre: Romance, Erotica
Blurb: Two brothers want to possess her…After her planet was destroyed, Brianna was rescued by two fierce and desperately gorgeous warrior brothers. Aeron and Hauk. They want to keep her, protect her, mate her. But what the brothers wanted from her was too much to handle. Settling into a new culture was hard enough without dealing with the custom that dictates she mate with two males. So she pushed them away. They’ll do anything to protect her…An attack sends Brianna back into the arms of the sexy brothers. Now they'll do whatever it takes to win her over. But can Brianna go against the conventions of her human nature and accept both warriors as her mates? It might not matter because someone is out for blood and it’s up to Aeron and Hauk to defend her against a deadly enemy.
Thoughts: This book is not really a part of a series, but it is connected to a previous book, Heated Mating. I wasn't aware of this when I first started it, but for me it was glaringly obvious that I was missing something. From the first few pages, it quickly became apparent that there was already this history between Brianna and the two men, Aeron especially. There were numerous other instances where it bothered me that I wasn't caught up with the history between these characters, and that really bothered me throughout the course of the book.

**A gifted copy was provided by the author for my honest review**
This is a great story in the Lumineta series by author Katie Reus who writes as Savannah Stewart.
In book 2, we have Brianna who traveled to Planet Lumineta to meet with them to help with the building of some homes/buildings. Her friend, Leilani, was supposed to travel with her but pregnancy kept her home. When she gets there, these two brothers Daan and Brandt where all over her , they wanted her, kept making these comments about how if they were her mate. Poor Brianna didn’t seem to get they meant if THEY were her mate. As they were walking around and the other males were there in the meeting room, suddenly Leilani’s mate shows up and tries to take her back home when the two men she originally was meeting with called for Ducereco Law. Meaning that they want the right to keep her in their planet for a moon cycle and court her for 30 days. Brianna doesn’t want to stay and go home but because that law was called into place, she must stay. WOW, now we see this sweet and prim lady get riled up and she goes ballistic , and demands off the planet. Con, their leader, refuses because Aeron and Hauk called that law into place. She has immediate chemistry with Con, not with the first two men but she is upset, scared, angry and she takes it out on Con. Her friend’s mate, Aeron, is unable to take her home and he tells her that for the time being to go ahead and stay with Con.
This is where the book really takes off. There is sabotage, mystery, romance and by the end of the book a terrific HEA. I loved the coming together of the heroine and her hero. And it is NOT to the blurb’s two men = Yes, the blurb says she has two men, not sure if that is a misprint by accident or on purpose but I found that when reading , it didn’t matter. I enjoyed reading this story and the mystery of who was attacking the work that Brianna was working on and in the end almost killing her and her hero made this a fantastic story. There is a clash of the worlds here between the world Brianna comes from and her hero- and understanding it. Also , getting into understanding feelings. She has them and her hero has never expressed them so she has to get her hero to show his side but when he does, it is an “aww” moment. This is a pretty sexy story and I CANT wait for the next book in this paranormal, sci-fi world.
My rating: 4.5 stars ****

CLAIMING HER WARRIORS is a stand alone storyline from the pen of Katie Reus written as Savannah Stuart. The premise focuses on the men and women of Planet Lumineta and the warriors hoping to claim one human woman as their own. The brothers, Aeron and Hauk, hope that Brianna will accept their claim as mates but something or someone may be standing in the way.
On planet Lumineta, two males (in this case brothers) claim one woman as their mate. . The number of children born to the Luminetas is declining and those that survive are usually male, thus leaving the planet with more males than females. Brianna’s home planet was destroyed and she now lives among the people of planet Lumineta but not all inhabitants are willing to accept ‘immigrants’ from another planet.
Brianna and Aeron have a history together and Aeron is hoping to convince Brianna to accept (along with his brother Hauk) his mate claim. As the trio begin to get closer together, a threat against Brianna’s life, nearly destroys the relationship before it has had a chance to begin. When the identity of the threat is finally revealed, Aeron and Hauk are not surprised.
Claiming Her Warriors is a fast paced novella that borders the genres of sci-fi and the paranormal. It is a fast paced, well-written novella about a few days in the life of three people meant to be together-forever. The world building and character development are limited due to the length of the storyline and I hope that the author is considering expanding on the trio’s story. The main characters are likeable and you get the impression that Aeron and Hauk would be miserable without Brianna in their lives.
If you like a quick story with a little sex (M/M/F), a little romance, a mystery and a HEA, Claiming Her Warriors is the perfect read for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Held captive against her will…
When Leilani travels to the mountain region of her new planet, Lumineta, she discovers the remote mountain clan has a law stating that any unmated female in their sector can be forced to live there for one moon cycle. At first she’s livid—until she realizes that being held captive means that the warriors bring her gifts and simply try to impress her as part of their courting rituals. But she’s not interested in anyone except the sexy leader—and living under his roof makes her feel nothing like a captive. He has her rethinking everything she thought she knew about Luminet males.
The last thing he needs in his life is a complicated human female…
Con has never thought much about taking a mate. As leader of his clan, he’s too busy and females are too complicated—especially those mysterious humans. But the longer he’s around Leilani, the more he realizes she’s worth fighting for. Despite his planet’s tradition that says two males mate with one female, he has no intention of sharing—or ever letting her go.
Review:
Quick, sexy Sci-Fi read.
No need to worry if you have not read the other stories in the series, I never felt lost or confused-it is easily a stand alone. Things are pretty well explained and some past events are in the story to blend the books together. The world that Ms. Stuart has built really is engaging and made me want to read more. There is a lot packed into this short, satisfying read; action, other worlds and some good sexy scenes. All the characters are interesting and I found myself wanting to learn more about them. It is hard to write reviews about short stories without giving up the whole plot line, so let me just say that if you want a little sexy Sci-Fi fix, this would be perfect.

Originally reviewed on These Pretty Words.
My obsession with ménage stories has crossed a new line. Instead of humans or even shifters, we have aliens. And while not usually a science-fiction kind of girl, I’m ready to board a ship to the planet Lumineta and look for my mates. Not really, but you get my point.
Claiming Her Warriors is a ridiculously hot little story about two alien brothers who have chosen a human woman as their mate. They’re strong and domineering with definite alpha-male personalities. These boys are bigger than human men and have a bit of an advantage in the *ahem* linguistics department. I’ll just leave that right there and let you think about it.
Brianna is the human woman at the center of the story. Kind and sweet, she’s in love with one of the brothers but uncomfortable with the concept of the double mating. She runs for a bit to give herself time to accept the idea but eventually comes back to her boys…and yes, they are definitely her boys.
Aeron and Hauk are the two brothers wanting to make Brianna theirs. Unlike a lot of erotica out there, Savannah was able to write two very dominate and aggressive men, trained soldiers, who don’t completely overpower their little human mate. Well, they overpower her a bit in the bedroom, but not in a bad way. They respect her, cherish her, want only her happiness, and that level of care and devotion follows them into even the steamiest sex scenes.
I just have to give this one five stars. Claiming Her Warriors is a sweet and sexy story depicting the pleasurable possibilities of giving in to your desires. With just enough drama and mystery to keep the plot moving forward, this novella offers you love and lust, family and desire. A perfect Saturday night read!

Review for Claiming Her Warriors by Savannah Stuart
Book provided by publisher for honest review.
This is the first book that I have read by Savannah Stuart. I’m a huge fan of realistic Sci-fi-ish/Paranormal Erotica. (Evangeline Anderson author of the Brides of Kindred series turned me on to my love of Sci-fi Erotica… Star Trek ain’t got nothing on those!) Anyway, this book is very Kindred-ish so I totally loved it, of course! Claiming Her Warriors is a novella, considering the length of the book the author did a really good job of making me feel like there was a connection to the characters and the alien environment that Brianna was living in.
So the book starts out explaining a bit about how Earth basically died and that the Luimenet Warriors rescued her and a group of women when they were on a scouting mission. While the Luimenet race is slightly different from humans, it’s nothing too out there or icky. I.E. they are humanoid enough that when the author gets to the smut, your panties will spontaneously combust. The storyline is fairly simple and really from the title you can pretty much gather what is going to happen. Brianna claims her warrior mates. Again, I was surprised with how much emotion and depth the author put into the story considering it’s not a full-length novel. I tip my hat to her ability to give me enough to know the characters individually and through their relationships to care about each of them without ending the book thinking “that’s it?” Plus, throwing in a little who-done-it added just enough mystery and reason for the speedy relationship.
Claiming Her Warriors gets 4 stars for storyline and 4 wet panties for smut factor. A steamy, quick read for a cold winter’s night.

Description ~
Two brothers want to possess her…
After her planet was destroyed, Brianna was rescued by two fierce and desperately gorgeous warrior brothers. Aeron and Hauk. They want to keep her, protect her, mate her. But what the brothers wanted from her was too much to handle. Settling into a new culture was hard enough without dealing with the custom that dictates she mate with two males. So she pushed them away.
They’ll do anything to protect her…
An attack sends Brianna back into the arms of the sexy brothers. Now they'll do whatever it takes to win her over. But can Brianna go against the conventions of her human nature and accept both warriors as her mates? It might not matter because someone is out for blood and it’s up to Aeron and Hauk to defend her against a deadly enemy.
My Review ~
This is a stand-alone HEA M/F/M menage story by Savannah Stuart, who also happens to be Katie Reus. I've read a few of Katie's books and have thoroughly enjoyed them, so I wasn't disappointed there, at all.
While this is a short story, 78 pages, it's very well written. I adored all three of the characters, so much that I'd love to see a full length book written about them. The world building was really well done for the length, also. It really showed a good portion of the society the author created for the story. As I said before this would be an excellent world for a full length novel.
I highly recommend this book for anyone that likes Lauren Dane's Federation series, and even those that like The League from Sherrilyn Kenyon. ~ Review by Chris

Après un premier tome sympathique, on passe enfin aux choses sérieuses avec un trio qui fait des étincelles. On entre dans le vif du sujet et l’auteure pousse plus loin la culture Lumineta. L’histoire entre Brianna et les frères Aeron et Hauk est compliqué, devant faire face à divers obstacles. Mais sur le chemin on ne peut que s’attacher à ces personnages hauts en couleurs.
Brianna est une jeune femme brillante et pleine de joie qu’on avait déjà commencé à apprécier dans l’histoire précédente. Elle a beaucoup plus de mal à s’intégrer à la culture Lumineta que Saroya, mais elle va s’ouvrir peu à peu et se laisser aller. Aeron est beaucoup plus ouvert que son frère, plus possessif et jaloux aussi. Hauk est plus tendre, tolérant, compréhensif. Tous les deux se complètent et font la pair. Il est aussi intéressant de voir leur fils interagir avec eux et Brianna, cependant il n’est pas assez présent à mon goût ce qui est dommage !
Dans le premier opus sulfureux, l’auteure a mis en place une culture polygame où les femmes prennent plusieurs compagnons. C’est pour le bien de la planète, pour avoir plus de naissances, mais cela n’est pas dans les mœurs humaines. Malheureusement avec Saroya et Linc, on a pas vraiment eu la chance de voir cette facette de l’intrigue. Ici l’auteure exploite totalement cette partie, laissant libre court aux fantasmes.
Même si l’auteure développe un peu plus son univers, que les scènes érotiques montent d’un grade, il manque toujours le côté science-fiction qui n’est pas assez exploité. Quand à la suite, il n’est pas obligé d’en avoir, en soit ceux sont des stand-alone, bien qu’il reste une humaine du trio d’humaines qui soit encore célibataire, alors pourquoi pas…

"Claiming Her Warriors" by Savannah Stuart. The 2nd in a connected futuristic series. A novella.
W-O-W! Hot hot hot...if you don't mind three-somes. First time I've read a book with a multi-person romance. Very different from what I usually read, but enjoyable none the less. Fast paced and to the point.
The story takes place over 200 years in the future and on a different planet where mating customs are very different from humans. There are more males in this society than there are females, so when it comes to mating, it is two males to every female. Aeron and Hauk are brothers. During a mission to rescue humans, Aeron falls for Brianna, a spunky little human female. He wants her to be his and Hauk's mate, but can she accept this new way of life? Will she accept Hauk? Does Aeron really want her to accept Hauk? Feelings of jelousy are forming in Aeron and he's not sure he wants to share Brianna.
Brianna is trying to make a new life for herself on her new planet. She was rescued by Aeron, a warrior who she is totally falling for. He wants her to be his mate, but that means she has to mate with his brother too! Can she accept this new lifestyle? Is this what she really wants? She doesn't know Hauk that well. Does he even like her? Throw in being attacked by a mysterious stranger and Brianna has a lot to think about.
I really liked this novella. The interaction between Aeron, Hauk and Brianna was really very interesting as to how a relationship would work with more than two people involved. The whole concept was very interesting.
Give it read.

Savannah Stuart - Claiming Her Warriors
There are some familiar tropes here. There’s ‘rescued from the end of the world’, ‘repopulate a foreign planet with hunky hero(es)’, and ‘you have to marry two guys, it’s the way we do things around here.’ That’s okay, I generally enjoy those and the author managed to handle them well. I must admit I was hoping for some action [other than the kind involving horizontal and vertical surfaces] but this plot is mostly relationship driven.
The heroes, Hauk and Aeron, are the warriors mentioned in the title. They are brothers and both are tall, intimidating, and protective but moderately clueless about women [even though they had been married before.] I thought the heroine, Brianna, was bit of a wimp for someone who had been dealing with the end of life as she knew it just recently. She apparently has spent a great deal of time before the story opens waffling about the being with two guys part; although she is really into one of them she feels she doesn’t know the other. She finally decides to remedy that and get into the spirit of things when suddenly Aeron, guy number one, has an outbreak of jealousy sending her off into the night. Where someone attacks her. The story continues while resolving the ongoing issues.
It’s a short read, more glorified short story than novella. The author does a pretty good job of reaching the HEA within that framework. I would read more of her work.

There are some familiar tropes here. There’s ‘rescued from the end of the world’, ‘repopulate a foreign planet with hunky hero(es)’, and ‘you have to marry two guys, it’s the way we do things around here.’ That’s okay, I generally enjoy those and the author managed to handle them well. I must admit I was hoping for some action [other than the kind involving horizontal and vertical surfaces] but this plot is mostly relationship driven.

3.5 Stars - Rounded Up
Earth has been destroyed. It’s now a dead planet. The last remaining humans have been rescued and live on Lumineta now.
Lumineta has more men than women so they create triads, two men and one woman. Human women are adjusting to this and Brianna is no exception. Hauk and Aeron are brothers and they want Brianna. But Brianna’s life is in danger. Can Hauk and Aeron keep her safe?
This was a quick read. It’s only 78 pages. In those 78 pages, Savannah Stuart managed to pack a lot in. My biggest complaint is it wasn’t long enough. I had a hard time connecting with the characters. It was hard to get to know them and build that connection. That being said, what I did get from them, I liked.
These are strong, alpha men who feel a definite sense of duty and honor. Brianna is a strong-willed woman learning to live in a new world. I definitely wanted to know more about this new world Lumineta. What I did learn definitely intrigued me. There’s some real possibilities for more from this world.
The attraction between Hauk, Aeron and Brianna is strong and intense. This was definitely worth reading and I’m hoping we get more from this new world!

Well this book wasn’t at all what I was thinking it would be. I’m not sure if that would be a good thing or a bad thing, but seeing as how I did enjoy the story I think it worked out well in the long run. I believe that there are other books in the series, and if that is the case I will check them out just because I enjoyed the authors writing style.
The characters that we were introduced to in this book, to me personally it felt like the men, Aeron and Hauk were more described than Brianna was. She has a complete past that we aren’t really told much about, but like I said, I think there might be other books where we learn more about what was going on with her planet. Don’t get me wrong, there were some parts of her past we were told about, just not a lot.
I did feel like the drama that took place in the book was rushed towards the end, but on the other hand, the story itself was short. It was very interesting and I do have to say that I didn’t see the twist happening. (Yes I was excited that it caught me off guard!)
Overall I did like this book and although it’s a Science Fiction genre book, it didn’t have a lot of that in it. So it was really easy for me to follow along with the story.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in place of an honest review.
Brianna has been fighting her feelings for Aeron since the day he rescued her. He wants her to be his mate. The only problem is, is that she has to mate with his brother to. She just wants one man. She doesn't know much about Hauk. On the planet they are on there is one female to every two males. Brianna knows that if she wants a relationship with Aeron that she has to get to know Hauk.
Both Aeron and Hauk want Brianna, they just have to figure a way to get her to say yes. When she finally decides to give it a go, Aeron gets jealous. He doesn't understand his feelings and it's not like he hasn't shared a mate with his brother before. To add more to this relationship someone is trying to kill Brianna.
I love ménage books and this one was well written and I enjoyed every page. To add to the excitement Brianna is a human but the brothers are from another planet. I would love to have transportation like they have. I could just put where I wanted to go and I would be there. They would help me get things done faster. It would be great to live on a planet where there isn't much crime. I loved the authors imagination in this book and I can't wait to read more books by her.

Claiming her warriors is everything I like about a novella, A short fun Sci-fi erotic read. Earth has been destroyed and Brianna was lucky enough to be rescued and taken to another planet, Planet Lumineta Has a shortage of females so the males often share a female. Aeron and Hauk are two sexy warrior brothers who have been left widowed after their wife died. When they meet Brianna they want to mate with her but Brianna still holds onto her Earth Customs and doesn’t want to mate with two males, but when Brianna is attacked she flees into the welcoming arms of her two warriors who will do anything to protect her.
I enjoyed that characters often you find that there is no jealousy with the men in menage stories which I find hard to believe but there was between Aeron and Hauk which I loved, but unfortunately being a novella we didn’t really get in-depth with their feelings. I love reading novella’s because they are short, fun , light reads in between longer reads, they are like a mini vacation, but sometimes like this story I just want more. I would love it to be a full length novel so you can really get a good feel from the characters.
I highly recommend this one to anyone that wants a short, naughty sci-fi read.
