101 Nights #1
Claimed
Tie me. Tease me. Take me.
Love me?
For fans of “50 Shades” and the “Crossfire” series comes "101 Nights," a SERIAL erotic novella series consisting of short, steamy reads ...
I’ve just been named the heir to the throne – if I can prove to my conservative father that I’ve given up my playboy lifestyle and settle down with a respectable woman.
But why earn the love of a woman when I can buy it? Better yet – why not just blackmail the pretty girl who breaks into my penthouse? We both need something. I need a fiancée – preferably one I can control down to what socks she wears – for three months to satisfy my father’s edict.
She needs to save her family from being evicted from the building I plan to knock down to make way for my new upscale mall. Three months as my loving, devoted fiancée in public – and my personal whore in private – is a small price for her to pay to save her family.
What I’m not counting on: how possessive I quickly become of the blue-eyed vixen – and how quickly the press and world not only find out about her but rally behind a real life Cinderella.

This first book in this erotic serial is hot stuff! Not only did it have this story line that I'm sure every woman dreamed of as a little girl (become a princess!), but then it fulfills our hidden desire for illicit hot dirty book sexiness. I'm hoping that by the end of this series, Elijah is just slammed by his love for Natalie. There are already the seeds there. Totally steamy for such a short novella (clocks in at about 58 pages according ot amazon).
The chemistry between the two is volatile and palpable. I'm so glad that Natalie is not a pushover. She remains feisty even in less than ideal circumstances. Uhm...book two please!

I have only one word. HOT,HOT,HOT!!!!!
I really loved the book. I won from a giveaway organized by SE Reign and I am so happy I did. I really got intrigued by the story and I cannot wait for the other parts in the series. I really want to know what is the reason behind EJ's attitude towards life and people and how his relationship with Natty will work out.
And the sex scenes in the book were so pantie melting that I have no idea what more to say. I am definitely counting the days until the release of the next book in the series :)

Yeah, really not getting what all the hype is about. This is just another poorly written Cinderella trope.
Also, I'm pretty sure the word you're looking for here is 'lucrative'...
"there's only me to take over one of the three most ludicrous economies in the world"

Yep, this book was hot. That isn't to say I did not want to strangle EJ. Good lord, I guess it is a good thing I don't know any princes ;). Manipulating, arrogant, conniving, heartless; I don't know if I could put up with him, but given Natalie's position, well, I can almost understand why she would try. Although, you would think she would get that crap in writing!
EJ is a prince so of course it makes sense that he is arrogant and very used to getting his way. There are some interesting things hinted at though which makes me wonder what we'll learn later as his and Natalie's relationship progresses. His father wants him married and has ultimately threatened that he has 3 months to see that happen. He doesn't expect him to give up his man-whore ways, just that he get married and take mistresses instead. You know, the normal way these things are done. Like, really? Ok, so odds are that is true, which is probably why there is a large part of me that seriously wants to hurt this man. Anyway, enter Natalie. A poor girl, who he refers to as a commoner...like REALLY? What are we, regressed back 300+ years? Yeah, I'm having problems with EJ...or more the princely aspects. Attitude I can handle. Confidence, take control, know what you want and not afraid to fight for it...sexy!
Natalie's home is one of EJ's current projects. He intends to tear down the building which would displace thousands of people. She decides to blackmail him, but finds herself on the ropes instead. After agreeing to his deal to be his pretend fiance, and answer to his every whim for 3 months, they seal the deal in bed. The most intense sexual night of her life. In the morning, she comes to realize that he has no incentive to keep his end of the deal, and that she could find herself in jail and her family and friends on the street after all. But things really get interesting when her name is leaked to the press and she finds her life may never be the same again.
This is a great start, and I cannot wait to see what happens. I'm rooting for Natalie to have a large impact on the bad boy who sees life as a series of sexual encounters and using ruthless means to get richer, while of course claiming the throne. Lots of sexual content so if this is not your type of book, you may not want to read this.

*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.*
This was a 2.5* read for me.
Starting with what I liked:
--The characters have believable reasons for doing what they're doing. I've read so many books that drove me crazy because their motivations for whatever extreme action they were taking was stupid or their problems could have been solved in a much simpler manner. The extreme measures taken in Claimed were understandable.
--Natalie was a good, selfless person that wanted the best for her loved ones. She did what she had to do to protect those closest to her. It's nice to see a heroine who works to fix things as opposed to the countless others that only contribute to the problem and need to be saved.
--You can see hints of the person that Elijah will eventually become and it makes you anxious for that moment when he finally becomes him (if that makes any sense).
What I wasn't so crazy about:
--A little reluctance on Natalie's part in response to Elijah's proposal would have been nice. Yes, she said she'd do anything for her family with no hesitation. But, Elijah's offer should have thrown her at least a little bit. Maybe having him spend more time talking her into it would have been more convincing. Or having Natalie quickly agree but be pissed off about it until she realized how mutually beneficial the agreement really could be. Because she was just so "whatever" about it, everything happened really fast. I needed a little more buildup, which I know is hard to do when you're writing a shorter, serial style novel.
--There wasn't much that happened. The challenge with serials is that each one has to keep you coming back for more, but they don't have a lot of space to do that in. The slightest lulls in the storyline are noticeable because the book is really short.

There are no words to say how bad this was. To quote Natalie, "Double shit." Very original. Hmmm... I wonder what other female protagonist in a "porn" book series uses this kind of swearing?
Oh, Anna, didn't see you there. What did you just say? Oh, "Double crap." I see.
By the way, I didn't read 50 Shades, but I've read enough reviews to know to stay away from it. However, I did read good erotica and S.E.Reign is a pen name for an author whose previous books I enjoyed.
To sum it up a little (because I don't have the time or the patience for this book anymore), Natalie agrees to be some billionaire prince's personal whore in private and his fiancee in public because this guy has some issues with his daddy who wants to see him married. Why does she agree to do that, you ask? Well, she was blackmailed. She thinks she's doing a good job because she's saving the building where her family and other poor people live. In fact, she enjoys this whole situation a lot more than she's willing to admit. Because of course, you can't not like a man who treats you like a slave and uses his money to manipulate you.
One particular scene that pisses me off is when "Natty" has an orgasm so strong that she loses consciousness. Guess what he does to her when she wakes up? Oh, yeah. He fucks her again. Really...
Let's not forget when during foreplay he appears to have three hands to play with her.
SEEMS LEGIT.
So... no. Don't read this. Unless you like reading books with terrible sex and no story whatsoever.

WARNING** HOTNESS LEVEL 10++!!!
This review is for all three Claimed, Tainted and Crushed
Where do I start? First I love this girl! She is a take no sh** type of girl (but she kind of does take some sh**). She has to help her family and all her neighbors and when she gets the chance to confront the man that is the reason for their troubles, she does it. She wanted to black mail him into stopping the demolition of their home but when push came to shove she was shoved right out the door. Mr. Hotness himself (OMG this man!!) was intrigued by her willingness to come after him like that, so he followed her out only to find her standing in the hallway looking conflicted. This is where it gets even more interesting.
EJ (*sighs) he is a prince. He is accustomed to people doing whatever he wants when he wants and how he wants, he has women throwing themselves at him all the time. So when she doesn’t throw herself at him he is surprised, doesn’t money buy everything? I love that she doesn’t throw herself at this man, good for her!
EJ wants to make a deal with Natalie in return for her complete surrender to him she can help her family and friends, so she agrees. She doesn't understand what she is giving up just yet. But eventually she realizes how much she truly is giving up. He doesn’t understand what he is feeling for her and is confused by these new emotions he is having. He has never had these feelings for anyone. He uses people as much as people use him. Never having any real feelings about someone and now he does he is trying to keep her as long as possible.
I love this story between these to two their draw to each other is HOT HOT HOT!!! I cannot wait to dive into the next book!! You have me hooked!!

"If a man doesn't f**k you like he owns you, find a new one."
Hot damn. That's all I could say for this man.
I was lucky enough to win an ARC of this book before it's release. Knowing myself, I would of bought it regardless because I'm a big fan of Erotica. This is the first book in a new series by a new author. A bunch of "new" there. The author rocked her first book. It was hot, it was steamy, and it was awesome. My only complaint, I wish there was more depth to it. I felt like there could of been more displayed in this first book.
"You're my respectable, reserved, legitimate fiance in public and my do-anything whore in private."
Say What???
EJ is suppose to be this bad ass prince that gets his way all the time. I have to admit I laughed at him quit a bit. When I opened to the first chapter and saw his full name, my first thought was "Holy hell I can't even pronounce half of that." I do love his character though. He had that "I'm sexy and I know it" vibe.
"You come after I do."
Exsqueeze me.... Huh!
Natalie is a sweet girl that I loved. Trying to help her family she gets trapped by EJ. And she enjoys almost every minute of it.
"She has a thing for guns," I explain. "Not sure a stranger fares a chance in her place."
As you can see I have a thing for quotes that I just love.. This couple is one that is going to have a rough road ahead of them. Oh how interesting that road will be. If you love erotica, this is definitely a must get book. But be prepared to want more. It is a Novella in a long series. Torture. I swear authors love to torture me.

Claimed was the first “serial” that I have ever read, and I loved it. Claimed is about a billionaire Prince from a kingdom in the Middle East, Elijah Micha or EJ as he likes his friends to call him. He is a bastard, right from the start. He is living in the United States where he is a shrewd business man with playboy ways, but his time has come and he is next in line for the thrown as long as he can change his ways and find a wife.
Natalie Hanover is a beautiful girl that would give the shirt off her back to anyone who needs her help. She works public relations for a law firm. In a desperate effort to save her family and friends homes, she breaks into EJ’s room with the plans to make him change his mind about tearing down the apartment complex to build luxurious condos and upscale shopping malls. When to two come to face each other, instead of being frightened of her and her blackmailing scheme, EJ turns the tables and makes Natalie an offer she can’t refuse… one that will make both of their problems go away. The sex in this serial is hot… like dom/sub hot. This is an erotic, hot, steamy story and is part one of a serialized series.
**Excerpt**
EJ ---“Right now, we seal our deal. To look like star-crossed lovers, we need the physical connection. What better way to start our agreement than tonight?” As I speak, I lean forward, my lips brushing her lightly. She doesn’t pull away, a sign she’s not going to back out. “I didn’t shave my legs,” She says. I laugh again. I’ve never met anyone quite this honest…..

Claimed (101 Nights, Serial No. 1) by S E Reign
4 Stars
After being named heir to the throne it is now time for Elijah to give up his playboy ways and take a bride, well that’s what his father expects of him. So he decides he will do things his way and not be forced into something he really doesn’t want.
Natalie is determined to save the building her family lives in and is willing to do anything to get the result she wants. Breaking into Elijah’s apartment was the first step in her plan, (though I’m not exactly sure what she hoped to achieve from doing this) luckily for her he comes home and catches her. Together they come to a mutually agreeable arrangement where she will be his perfect partner in public and his whore in private for the next 3 months, in exchange for her compliance he will either save the building her family lives in, or at the very least re-home them close by.
Claimed is a very short novella and a quick read, basically it’s just going through their meeting and the bargain they made. We don’t really get to see how any of it works out but I am however curious enough about the pair to read book two.
Not to mention that there is sex, and a lot of it considering they don’t even know each other, and it is pretty steamy! The book has been likened to Fifty Shade’s and The Crossfire series, I will have to read a few more instalments before I can compare it to those two, but it was entertaining.

The synopsis of this book tells you pretty much everything you need to know about the plot line. It does not tell you how hot this book is. It's a very short novella that will have you turning the pages as fast as you can. Elijah is the wealthy conceded jerk who thinks only of what will get him farther in life. He finds himself starting to care about a girl who had intended to blackmail him and shoot him. While this isn't the typical way to meet a woman, he uses her weakness to his advantage. They have insanely hot sex and go at it like little jack rabbits for most of the story. In between their hook-ups, the plot plays out with Natalie dodging her family, neighbors and the media as her freedom is abruptly taken from her.While it is fast-paced, there is a building connection between the two.
I am interested to see how this one plays out and what the author has in store for this unique non-couple. Clearly their union is not traditional and you will have to toss aside the real life issues that will run through your head as you read such as lack of protection, STD's, etc. But let's be real, this is fiction and who really wants to read about that stuff anyway! Give this novella a shot, I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the kink factor coupled with a different take on the billionaire plot line.

A short freeby that's the start to a series. At least the first is not a complete story but more like the first part of a book.
Also, it clearly is erotica without much attempt at anything else. Perhaps later books will introduce a bit more romance.
For what it is, it really is good. The sex was hot and steamy and very plentiful :D
The only negative thing I can list about the book, is unfortunately a whopper.
Somewhere at the beginning, he states that he doesn't use condoms. As far as I understood this, it meant not only with that woman but in general.
Considering that he mainly has one night stands, and those nearly every night, the risk of disease is quite considerable. He's intelligent and takes good care of his body, so how does that make sense? Also, she doesn't raise the topic of disease when he refuses to use condoms but just agrees quietly to his demand.
Really, he's a billionaire so at least the risk of some woman lying about birth control to get pregnant on purpose should make him think about this.
But if you can ignore that one manco, your in for some steamy sex without having to think much.
The first book is available for free, the rest have to be paid. I'm still thinking about buying the next

New author to me and I wasn't really sure quite what to expect. I was under the impression that it's a serialisation but wasn't expecting it to grab me quite so quickly. This is the first instalment and right from the first page the characters leap off the page. A hot spoilt prince needing to avoid an arranged marriage and then meeting someone who could be the answer to his problems sounds far fetched but it felt normal almost. I think that's because the author very cleverly allows the reader to get both points of view as the story unfolds . This clever tactic makes both Elijah and Natalie feel real.
This was a fast paced read bit there's a lot of heart here. We have a hero who although used to getting his own way is definitely not a selfish lover and a heroine who is as courageous as she is hesitant. Not every woman who has little sexual experience could rise up to the sensual challenge that Elijah forces upon her but Natalie is certainly a woman with her own appetites.
It's hot and sexy but it makes me want to read more! Well written and also well edited which obviously makes it an easy read. Not a book for those easily shocked but a fun way to pass an hour. More please!

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
What would you be willing to do in order to save your friend’s and family’s homes? In Claimed (101 Nights) by S E Reign, this is exactly the question that Natalie has to answer. They have been given notice that their block is about to be knocked down and they would have to find another place to live. Natalie decides that she is not going to let this happen and tries a desperate plan.
Elijah cannot believe that he is seeing a woman standing in his room holding a gun. He is not amused. His father has given him three months to stop his playboy ways or the throne will go to his cousin. This woman may be just what he needs to meet everyone’s needs (his, his dad’s, and Natalie’s).
Sparks fly in this hot and steamy novella. The story shows how thin the line between lust and hate can be. I have already fallen in love with these characters and find that I am impatient to see how their story plays out. I would definitely give this book 5 out of 5 stars. I could easily imagine the how EJ and Natalie looked and the scenes that were described. S E Reigns, you have made it to my favorite author list.

*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
At the beginning of the book I thought, ‘arrogant good looking billionaire’, not surprising. Elijah is a prince, well, that changes things a little, but still, he is very cocky, I wasn’t sure if I would like his character. Then Natalie comes into the picture, she is intelligent, courageous, and self conscious. Her motivation to take action seems very realistic to have such a strong desire and need to help her family. Before either of them really grasps the chemistry that is already between them, they have come to an agreement and are set on their path towards meeting their independent goals for the near future. As they set the groundwork for what hints to be a tumultuous and steamy relationship, the story does not disappoint. The intimate scenes between them are HOT! The end of the book left me definitely wanting to read the rest of the series immediately, not in the ‘jaw on the floor’ kind of way, but in the ‘mouth wide open, it can’t stop here ‘ kind of way. Very good first book, looking forward reading more from SE Reign.

OMG - this is such an awesome book!!! I love SE Reign's writing!!!
Let me start by saying - this is another one of those "I CAN NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN" type of books - so if you do NOT have time set aside to read it, then you definitely need to find the time!!! If I were to be handed a copy of this book and a copy of 50 Shades of Gray, and then asked to pick which one I would rather read - - believe me, it would be CLAIMED!!!!
When you first start the book and get introduced to the characters - Elijah and Natalie, you wonder just what the heck is going on. Elijah is cocky and a typical arrogant good looking billionaire. But then Natalie comes into the picture and is fighting to help her family. I don't like telling to much of the story in a review - because I hate hate hate SPOILERS!!!
BUT - the intimate scenes between them are HOT HOT HOT!!!
When you get to the end of the book, you are gonna be saying "How dare she stop the story here!!! I want MORE!!!"
So you have to progress to the next book in the series!!!

*I initially read just the first installment and enjoyed it, but never got around to the other books in the series. I just re-read #1 to refresh my memory. It's a hot, sexy and intriguing tale - my only complaint is the serial structure of the book.**
Quick, sexy read - first in a series. Natalie breaks into Prince Elijah's hotel room to try and find information to prevent a takeover and demolition of the apartment building her parent's live in. EJ's father has given him an ultimatum - give up his playboy lifestyle and find a wife, or he'll lose his inheritance and succession to the throne. When EJ catches Natalie in his suite, he realizes she might be the answer to his dilemma. If she'll pose as his fiancé for 3 months, he'll find somewhere else to build his shopping mall. And, being his fiancé means access to her body as well as her time. Natalie will do anything to help her parents and neighbors, and agrees to his conditions - and realizes there are some very good physical benefits attached to the prince!

4 stars.
I liked it. I went ahead and clicked the 2nd one. It's hot. It's got a great plot line. BUT there are quite a few mistakes and it needs a little bit of fixing throughout. There is some incorrect word usage, missing words, a sentence or two that just makes no sense, etc. It's not anything major or hugely widespread but when asking readers to pay $2.99 for part one of a 9 part serial- then those 60 some odd pages should damn well be perfect. These are not perfect, and I'm not sure I'm happy with that $2.99 for this book because of it. HOWEVER it still is good overall and I did buy the second. I must admit- I felt a heck of a lot better paying only 99c for book 2 though.
I also LOVE Natalie's reaction during and after the press incident. I'd have broken down and cried a lot faster than she did!

*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Here I go:
1. Minimal grammar errors.
2. Some good and funny lines.
3. The soon to be king is an #$%^&* I didn't feel so connected to him, but it can be part of the writer plan to make you fall in love with him later.
4. Sex scenes: They were great. What seem a little forced was the total submission of the girl to the butt plugs only after what 5 minutes of knowing each other, but I can let it go...
5. I check the price for the book right now and $2.99 is not fair for only 7 chapters. Also there are 9 books in the series, hope she make them longer so it can be balanced with the price...
Overall I liked the introduction to this series. Its funny, with great characters and a good storyline. Eager to read more =)

I received an ARC for an honest review.
EJ is a prince, looking for a temporary fiance`that he can control "down to the socks she wears". Natalie is looking to save the building her friends and family live in. When Natalie breaks into EJ's penthouse, waving a gun and trying to blackmail him, EJ doesn't waste the opportunity to turn the tables. When Natalie is presented the idea to save her building in exchange for doing exactly what he says for the next 3 months, all she can say is " I didn't shave my legs".
This book is short, but the naughty bits are very steamy. EJ takes charge and pushes Natalie's limits from the very beginning. S.E. Reign is a new author and this is the first novella in a series. Overall, I really liked the story and am looking forward to the next novella.

I've never been a fan of short reads, I'd rather have it all in one book, but I really enjoyed this, my only concern being how long I'll have to wait between books. I want it now.
Every little girl dreams of becoming a Princess, well Natalia is going to get her dream, or three months of it anyway, 101 Nights with the Prince. This book only covers two of those nights and she's already worn out from all the hot sex!
Sometimes you have to bargain with the Devil to save the people you love, Natalia knows she's going to be left broken and used at the end of all this, but figures the end justifies the means, question is can she trust the Prince to hold up his end of the bargain. We'll have to wait and see!

What would you do to save your family? Natalie breaks into Elijah's apartment to dish out some dirt on him and gets the tables turned on her when he's the one that threatens her. Elijah is trying to get his dad off his back for being "irresponsible" as he tries to rise to the top of the business empire. Together, they strike a deal that both feel is in their favor. Natalie quickly discovers that she may have drawn the short straw.
This tale quickly spirals into a hot steamy read, where both Natalie and Elijah are trying to control each other and satisfy themselves. It's hard to tell where lust and hate begins and ends. This story is a short read that will leave you anticipating grabbing the next book in the series.

This book definitely leaves you wanting more. A high profile entrepreneur/prince slates to tear down a city block. One of the residence breaks into where he's staying, slipping past his security detail. One thing on her mind is to threaten him until he moves the project away from her home saving all the people in her building from having to find new places to live at a much higher cost. The prince turns the tables. To get back at his Father. Elijah makes a deal with Natalie. To give him 90 days of her to use anyway he likes. In return he will stop the slated demolition of her family's home. She reluctantly agrees and her first taste of this man is, of course, sex. That's pretty much where you're left at. It's a quick and easy read.

Claimed is a great read full of steamy sex scenes and a bit of mystery. Natalie is trying to stop her apartment complex from being demolished and Elijah is the man who has the power to put a stop to it. Elijah is willing to give Natalie what she wants but she must do something for him in return. Elijah wants to be the next king, which is his place rightfully, but his father won’t give him the throne until Elijah can be the man he wants him to be. Elijah has to play by his father’s rules and Natalie has to play by Elijah’s rules but how far will they both go. Everyone has secrets, but its finding out what those secrets are that leaves me want more; the chemistry between the two is just an added bonus.
August 10, 2016
I truly to the depths of my book loving being don't understand how anyone could give this 5 stars. It does not have Any similarity to 50 Shades of Gray other than a single scene where someone gets tied up. It bears even less resemblance to the Crossfire Series. This is Porn and very little else. Yes there is a half a page of an attempt at a storyline thrown in amongst the pages and pages and pages of unprotected sex and bragging. Everybody has their own taste but people should go into this aware that it is chock full of crudely described sex scenes and crude language. If you are looking for Romance. This is Not it.

Claimed - 101 Nights serial #1
This was hot and not what I expected.
The main characters have a lot of dept to them. Elijah is a calculated cold business man who always wins.
Natalie is a warm, loving, loyal person, who wants to help her family and neighborhood.
I really like the way Elijah just manipulate her into doing/agreeing with what he wants, and I'm not saying she is just some soft heroine because she's not, but she is definitely attracted to him.
The sex is off the charts! Elijah does things with Natalie's body that... damn hot!
3 month's... i can't wait to see what happen next!

Fast paced great story, you dive right in and hang on for the ride. Love the two main characters both strong, smart, determined people who know what they want and will do whatever it takes to make it happen. I love how Natalie is so honest, she seems really genuine and will do anything she can to stop her parents from being evicted from there home. Elijah is super alpha male. He really knows what he wants and once his mind is made up nothing will stop him. I can't wait to see how the story progresses. I want to the next one now already.

This was a good start to this series. The main characters are both strong and determined to get what they want. This is a fast paced story that catches you right from the beginning and has you wanting more at the end. This story is just the first part of the journey that the main characters are on and I can't wait for more. This is a quick read that ends with you wanting the next book. I can't wait for the rest of series to come out so I can see how it ends with Elijah and Natalie!I recieved an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
