Fr?? I’m so disappointed with book 3
Eva? I seriously wanna slap her
And that ending like wtf was that?!
After following the series with so much passion I expected to find a satisfying ending that would wrap up the character conflicts in a strong emotional way.
But what happened in book 3? There were so many moments where I kept thinking “Did I really read all of this for this?”
Where do I even start? omg it hit my feels HARD I was expecting a solid emotional ending after all the tension and complicated feelings between the characters but what happened was just ridiculous.
First off how do you build all this emotional effort from Ty throughout the series then in the third book we’re stuck in this cycle of manipulation and jealousy between him and Ciaran? Ty deserved Eva from the start! He was always there for her felt responsible for her and respected her boundaries even in the toughest moments. But nope, it feels like the author decided to make us suffer more by introducing Ciaran as a rival?! What the hell?! How am I supposed to accept Ciaran as the better choice or even someone who deserves Eva more than Ty who gave her everything?
Then there are these completely unexplained choices in the book. At one point it was clear Ty wanted her more than anything but Eva was still all over Ciaran despite everything he did to her It honestly felt like Ty’s feelings didn’t even matter at all! Where’s the fairness in that? Love is supposed to be real not just some game of control and competition between two guys with similar behaviors!
I think the ending felt forced and I would’ve been way more okay if Eva had just chosen Ty from the start gbecause everything pointed to him actually being the one to protect her from everything Even her feelings toward him were more mature and balanced compared to her relationship with Ciaran But in the end it felt like the book just tortured me to give me something unsatisfying.
I’m frustrated The series was amazing but this ending was such a letdown I really wish Ty had been given a real chance he deserved Eva more than ever
It’s my first time reading something by Sienna… and honestly might be the last

Wow! Once again I never knew what was about to happen and was shocked everytime! That was such an intense and emotional ending and I loved it! It had me second guessing my true feelings and had me crying!
February 20, 2025
WOOOOW!! JUST WOW.
I am writing this review without ANY spoilers but with the suspense that yes you absolutely DO need to read these books.
What an absolutely amazing WILD ride that was. The emotions ran deep throughout the whole series. And that ending, THAT ENDING (still sobbing). The ending was so perfect for the characters and the story, that I couldn't see it being any other way. This was just an all around amazing series.
PS I did not miss the announcement of keeping pretty novella because I'm already so excited.
Honestly Im so sad it's over. I just cant seem to get over all of it, this book, this series deserves each and every 5 star review. Its a damn masterpiece. This book tied everything together and multiple times I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. The twists and turns were out of this world. Poor Ava, I'm glad she got her happily ever after, considering the life she endured, all the pain she had to overcome. All 3 MCs get their HEA which made my heart grow a bit bigger. The character growth was on point. Each one of them grew drastically, Ava became strong and powerful, and the boys accepted each other and let their love and brotherly bond overpower the past faults. In the end there was peace, upstanding and acceptance between the three.
Reminder this is a dark romance and is pretty dark. Check your triggers because you'd be surprised on some of the themes present which fit the story perfectly. The plot was THIIICCCCK! I loved every minute of it. I am so grateful to be given the chance to be an ARC reader for Sienna, She is a brilliant author and I will be shouting from the rooftops for everybody to read the lovely broken doll series.
Ive read a lot of books, A LOT and this is definitely in my top 3 tied with the other 2 books.
you will not be disappointed, the darkness, spice, twists, emotion, chemistry, plot, characters, etc. EVERYTHING IS TO BE ADMIRED!!

Audio re-read
Wow that last epilogue didn’t hurt any less the second time around. I knew I should have just skipped it, because crying wasn’t on my bingo card for the night.
This was the perfect conclusion to the Lovely Broken Doll trilogy, although I will forever wish Ava didn’t have to choose. If you love secret society, unhinged twins, lots of twists, and touch her a die vibes x2, this is the series for you!
Theo & Madi brought these characters to life perfectly, truly capturing the real and raw emotions!
Thank you so much to Blue Nose audio for the ALC in exchange for my honest review. Getting to relive this series and hear the characters come to life was everything I hoped for

When a book leaves you beautifully, intoxicating speechless through a flood of tears, and in the deepest book hangover you experience in a very long time, you know you’ve read…well, just wow! Claiming Beauty is nothing short of just wow! The third, and very sadly, final Lovely Broken Doll book left me broken when more than mere beauty states you in the face and burrows into your heart.
If I start to tell you about the amazingness in this book, I will say way too much. At the same time, it’s so hard to put into words the twists, the ups and downs, or the “what the?!” moments you’ll experience. Claiming Pretty is the absolutely perfect way to finish Ava, Ty and Ciaran’s story. Yet, I still want to crawl back in those pages and know more. I miss them already. Just wow!

Wow.. I am not okay, I am very very upset after finishing this series lol like wtf WHYYY. This girl done ripped my soul from my body and thought it would be okay to do my man Ciaran that dirty?
I was so into this series and it was pushing me to think it would be a why choose with a HEA but it wasn’t that at all. I actually hated how Ava all of a sudden decided she only loved Ty ? Like what ? And then in the end when Ty passes Ciaran gets to pick up the craps of her love like a sad abused puppy. That was such a horrible ending it ruined the entire series for me.

Ngl this was my least favorite out of the three, but it was still a great book. I think my main issue is the longevity of the back and forth like girl we get it you want them both it in no way should’ve took the whole book to tell them you want the both of them

I don’t even know what to say. It’s not that I’m at a loss for words, but have so many thoughts and feelings that I don’t know how to articulate them.
Ava’s story is so tragic and painful, right along with the boys. I was being pulled in so many directions with my feelings. I didn’t know who I wanted her to choose at first. Then I wanted her to just have them both! Knew that couldn’t happen with how possessive they both were.
I’m so happy with how the book ended. I do feel like I need a novella or even another trilogy with the life of the other brother that wasn’t chosen. Did he get his HEA beside the one we read about in the epilogue? I really hope so.
This series takes Haunting Adeline place in my top 5 dark romance reads.

I…..uh….****. Ms. Sienna Blake—we need to have a word, okay? And that word is WOW! It’s also. UGH! and OMG!
My heart was so broken and put back together with this series. Claiming Pretty could not have had a more perfect ending for our three main characters even if parts of the story ripped me apart and left me all but sobbing with their pain. The abject horror and torture they endure emotionally and physically is but a ghost of what we as the readers feel.
Given insight into depravity and beauty, obsession and passion, destruction and rebirth, it’s a wonderful story that I feel, as a reviewer, does not do it justice.
This is by no means an easy story at any point. It’s dark and twisted and has more anguish than the first two books, though a reread might be needed to settle that last bit. It will make you question yourself so many times and leave you wanting more. And do not think I missed the note at the end, or the hint at a novella. I will be waiting most impatiently. In the meantime, I will have to deal with rereading the story again.

My Warden and Shadow has come to an end, no more rabbit or hummingbird nicknames. 🥺
Absolutely loved the suspense through out the trilogy, it just constantly had you on your toes and you never knew what was gonna happen. But Claiming Pretty tied it up and I didn’t want it to end at all!
The character growth as well was amazing, especially for Ava! Her becoming stronger and powerful, without fully realizing at first. Her boys watching her growth had its ups and downs between both but they too had their growths individually.
Now the spice! All I have to say is Chapter 24 and 29 got me a little hot and bothered. Now this is no where near a why choose trope but we love blimps of it! 😅
Definitely will be thinking about this series for a little bit, doesn’t help that i sobbed at the end. 🩶

Wow, I'm still not sure what to say. I thoroughly enjoyed book 3. It had me gripped all the way through, and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I cried, gasped, and was shouting at my Kindle.
I loved the way this series ended and how Sienna pulled everything together. I absolutely loved the epilogues too and am so looking forward to the novella.
I would definitely recommend this 👌 reminder that it is a Dark Romance, so please check your triggers. This entire series had me in a chokehold!

Oh. My. YES! That ENDING!!! That ride! If only there were more! I just can’t get enough! I’m so sad the story is over but it is without a doubt one I’ll be revisiting and recommending to every dark romance fan I come across! The way the story builds from a romantic mystery, to a thriller to finally the most perfect, heart wrenching and beautiful end. I loved this story more than words could describe.

Wth was that ending?? This book flopped miserably
October 3, 2025
Devastated!
I knew I didn't want this trilogy to come to an end .. but nothing could've prepared me for those final few chapters!
absolute sobbing mess!
Sienna, Theo, and Madi are 100% respONSIBLe fOr how im left feeling!
I Dont cry easily and can count on one hand how many times a book has left me in tears .. Sienna, you done me dirty 😭
It is an absolute rollercoaster of a journey in this final installment to this trilogy.
What would you do if you were faced with an absolutely, impossible choice?
I loved this trilogy, so much.. nothing is predictable.
Please be mindful this is book 3 of a trilogy, and they must be read in order. Because of this, I'm reluctant to dive into reviewing in detail how this last book unfolds. But i will say this; i was rooting for one character from the beginning - i knew how i wanted the story to end, but the journey to that point was painful and heartbreaking. I so badly wanted this to be a why choose, but I'm 100% on board with why it COULDN'T be.
Theo and madi delivered a stellar performance throughout and without question were the perfectly chosen narrators for this series.
If you're looking for a series that has an immensely strong, determined fmc, with 2 mmcs that literally fight for her, and not just in the sense of challenging a secret organisation but literally fighting each other - the lovely broken doll series is definately something you should be picking up!
This is a story of unbreakable bonds and devotion, loyalty and betrayal, and sacrificing everything for the happiness of another 😭
A phenomenally well written story that I will reread. Knowing full well, the end will devastate me all over again!
please note: it does have an hea .. It's the epilogue that ruined me. But everyone gets their hea.
As always, please familiarise yourself with the content before reading. The Lovely Broken doll series encompasses dark, triggering topics that may be uncomfortable for some.

Claiming Pretty is book three in the Lovely Broken Doll trilogy and picks up where Catching Pretty ended. It’s the conclusion we’ve been waiting for. Once again we are thrown into this obsessive, somewhat taboo story with so many twists-and-turns and even a love triangle. Lots of secrets are revealed, and just when I thought I had it figured it out... the plot would thicken or the tables would turn, causing more chaos along the way.
Narrated by Madison Mitts and Theodore Zephyr they once again, gave an intense and entertaining performance.
Claiming Pretty is filled with more angst, suspense drama and heartbreak. There were moments I felt I had whiplash. The spice… off the charts. This love story was tragic and disturbing, but intense and needed. Knowing what these characters went through, is difficult to understand. Their journey was not easy and some things did not go like I expected, but in the end, even with possible emotional trauma, I’m so glad I got to experience it.

Absolutely phenomenal, 4.5 ⭐️ the plot kept me hooked throughout the entire trilogy, the suspense was chefs kiss. There’s a couple reasons why this isn’t a 5 stars but that’s because of my own preferences with tropes! This was still a fantastic read that made me feel all the emotions, the twists had my jaw on the FLOOR. If you’re thinking about reading this trilogy DO IT !!

This is Book 3 in the Lovely Broken Doll series and it begins right where book 2 ends. I never expected the jaw dropping ending in book 2, so I NEEDED to read book 3 to discover what happened. Just when I thought my heart couldn’t take any more unexpected surprises…this author affirmed that she was just getting ready to offer the cherry on top of a delicious dessert!
Fast paced, brutally raw, and dark, this installment is the ultimate in gut wrenching dark romances with triggers galore. In spite of all the triggers, all the brutally raw scenes…I was hooked! These characters were so likable and so real I was totally captivated by every scene!
From page 1, I entered a dark and twisted vortex that had me questioning everyone in this super charged emotional and strangely passionate story and I loved it. I couldn’t stop reading to discover what was going to happen next. This author kept you guessing what direction the story was taking and she got me every time. Three words at end alone had me gasping!
In this story, unconditional, unconventional love is a multi faceted living thing often brimming with ugly painful truths. Ava needs answers, her life depends on it, and as she learns, the life of others. As Ava sets out to face her painful past, she comes face to face with realizations she never imagined but what’s about to happen is no better… or is it?
Does she really need to do ALL the things the Warden put her through??
Oh read and decide!
The characters continue to develop in a way that showed just how dark and depraved they could be. Their complex and complicated past haunts their dreams, and in this book the dreams became a reality. What they endured in the past pales to the chilling horrors they must endure in order to discover the truth.
A much bigger darker issue is holding their lives to a delicate tether. Hence, they were committed to embrace that darkness in order to get answers to move forward!
Painful, horrific discoveries makes you wonder whether or not some nightmares are better left in the dark. It makes you realize the real monsters in life are not who you expected!
Oh the discoveries they make as they set on this dark and twisted journey!

Who’s who, and what’s what became a sub plot making this story more thrilling and thought provoking!
What are you willing to do to find out the truth?
What was the end game here!

But then, the author would throw in a scene that had me holding my breath with unbridled passion and rage went crazy, so I had to keep reading!
Let me say, there’s a scene that is burnt in my brain and I will never look at the handle of a knife the same. Holy mother of darkness❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Ready or not…run… and read this story!
We didn’t get certain answers to certain events we needed, but the author indicated at the end more is coming!
Fast paced, brutally raw, and dark, this installment is the ultimate in gut wrenching dark romances with triggers galore. In spite of all the triggers, all the brutally raw scenes…I was hooked! These characters were so likable and so real I was totally captivated by every scene!
From page 1, I entered a dark and twisted vortex that had me questioning everyone in this super charged emotional and strangely passionate story and I loved it. I couldn’t stop reading to discover what was going to happen next. This author kept you guessing what direction the story was taking and she got me every time. Three words at end alone had me gasping!
In this story, unconditional, unconventional love is a multi faceted living thing often brimming with ugly painful truths. Ava needs answers, her life depends on it, and as she learns, the life of others. As Ava sets out to face her painful past, she comes face to face with realizations she never imagined but what’s about to happen is no better… or is it?
Does she really need to do ALL the things the Warden put her through??
Oh read and decide!
The characters continue to develop in a way that showed just how dark and depraved they could be. Their complex and complicated past haunts their dreams, and in this book the dreams became a reality. What they endured in the past pales to the chilling horrors they must endure in order to discover the truth.

Reading this trilogy was a struggle from the beginning. Other than decent grammar, I can't find one thing I liked about it.
Throwing in pregnancy and single mother trope at the end was just cherry on top. It's truly incredible how the author managed to mix the three worst tropes (single parent, pregnancy, and love triangle) in one series.
Premise doesn't make sense - FMC seriously just accepted that she doesn't remember anything from her life, before she got adopted by the evil lady, and didn't try to look for any answers? School records, social media, government documents?
The author says this book contains dubious content, but it's just straight-up rape. If you heard about a lady who got investigated by writing a romance book with pedophile undertone -> people who label a regular rape as dubious consent should also get the same treatment. Just because she orgasms or her inner monologue at some in the violation makes her seem like she enjoys it, doesn't change the fact that she was unconscious or paralysed when it happened.
FMC should have died. MMCs were bland and basically the same people personality wise, but they could easily find happiness with new partners. FMC with the vagina faucet, cheating tendencies (outside of the rape situations), and insufferable personality deserved torture and then death.
Making this a trilogy was a mistake. Prolonged for no reason, causing plot holes, massive boredom, and a lot of scenes just for mediocre smut or shock value. Plot twists were either predictable or just didn't make sense.
Just like I enjoyed this author's books before, now I'll think twice before reading anything from her.

This book will rip your heart out, stomp on it, pick it up, cradle it and then put it back together again.
This is the conclusion to the Lovely Broken Doll Series and it earned every single one of the 5 stars I've awarded it.
We are brought right where book 2 left off, and it's full steam ahead from here.
Ava, Ty and Ciaran are trying to work together to bring down the secret society that has brought so much harm, trauma and pain to so many.
Ava struggles to regain her memories and there are so many plot twists, you'll need to stand up and sit right back down, because you won't believe where the story is going.
I am so proud of Ava: she continues to grow stronger, fiercer and so strong willed. She doesn't let her trauma define her. She holds her chin up, shoulders back and faces everything head on.
These boys! oh these boys! how they love her. They are consumed by her. Their loyalty and devotion to her is epic. The sacrifices that each are willing to make in the name of saving or protecting the other is incredible.
Sienna's writing is amazing. I could not put this down. I read it in one day, forgoing all responsibilities so that I can fully immerse myself in the story. Thank you for giving the characters the ending they got. I could not imagine it going any other way.
Please review the TW/CW prior to reading, as there are intense and dark themes that may not be for everyone. Also, you have to read book 1 and 2 in order for this to make sense. This is NOT a standalone.

Writing this review moments after finishing the book with eyes full of tears. The last installment of this trilogy did not disappoint. It was a completely wild unhinged ride. Tons of darkness and triggers, tons of suspense, tons of spice. This book broke me. I’m completely and utterly broken. I’ve devoured each one of the books in this series and continue to be mind blown by how something so flawless can be improved upon, and dare I say this was even better than the second installment. I had so many feelings. I still have so many feelings. This is by far one of the best series I have ever read in my life. I’m glad we have closure. The book was incredible. And Ty and Ciaran will live rent free in my head for the rest of my life. I usually share quotes in my review posts but I’m too emotionally drained to do that and can’t find any in my annotations that are spoiler free and do the rollercoaster ride Claiming pretty took me on justice.
I’m obsessed with this series. I’m gutted it’s over. I loved how the author wove all of the conclusions together. And I literally sobbed huge rolling tears for the last handful of chapters that turned into crying so hard I could barely read through the epilogues. Amazingly well written. Utterly perfect.
The scene in the woods was hands down my favorite.

I just finished, and no amount of time is going to help me process the end of this book. I thought I knew what was going on, and I kind of did. The things I predicted only gave me a false sense of confidence that allowed for the things I didn't predict to completely blindside me and rip my heart out. I read a lot of amazing and emotional books, but I rarely cry while reading. This book made me cry. My family thought something was really wrong and I had to say it was the books fault. The beginning of this series was a little rough, but books two and three were addicting. This series was suspenseful and emotional.

Wow. I think I need a minute or two to wrap my head around this book. To say it was the perfect end to this trilogy just isn't sufficient. This book took twists and turns I didn't see coming, and I was all in!
My heart was in my throat for most of this book. I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. The constant push and pull between the three main characters was fan-fricken-tastic. My anxiety level kept rising as the book went on. The love Ava had for both Ciaran and Ty was undeniable, as was their love for her. Getting to see little bits and pieces of their past made me understand them so much easier and made me love them so much more.
'Claiming' took us down some dark roads and sketchy back lanes to get us to the end, and what an end it is. This was the first book in a long time that I couldn't predict the end. Every time I thought a scene was going to go left, Sienna took us right.
I can't state this enough...YOU MUST READ THIS SERIES!!!!! It was so much more than I was expecting, and it is definitely in my re-read pile. If I could give this book more than ⭐'s, I would. These characters will stay with me for a long time. Wow, what a story!

Ugh. The ending was frustrating and it felt rushed. I didn’t like that.
Fuck it. I’m about to spoil shit cos I got a lot to say. Ciarnan really waited around this whole time? Then just took over? At the age of what? 60 maybe? Ain’t no waaaaaay. That’s crazy.
Then the note? Wtf you mean Liath is alive. HOW ARE WE NOT GOING TO GO MORE IN DEPTH WITH THAT. We just go straight into another epilogue of Ava being pregnant?
I didn’t care for the ending tbh, BUT the plot line of who the High Lord of the Sochai was? Okaaaaay. I’ll give that to Miss Sienna Blake bc that was the LAST person I expected.
Anyways, 2.5/5 stars.

Holy hells. This story is the ultimate push and pull between twin brothers, both obsessively in love with their step sister. But who will win her for keeps?
I finished this book 2 days ago, and I'm still reeling and trying to figure out how to put my thoughts together for this review. THERE IS SO MUCH THAT I FEEL.
Being book 3 and final of this trilogy, you must read book 1 and 2 before this one. They are all 100% effed up, dark, and deliciously taboo.
Claiming Pretty in the culmination of the events from the previous books and revenge and destruction is afoot! These three are on a mission to take down the Sochai Society, and it may kill them to do it.
The twists keep coming and my heart broke multiple times. The spice was Caliente. Who the High Lord?!? The ending was perfection. The epilogues have me thoroughly wrecked.
Bravo to Ms. Blake, for a job extremely well done. This series is going to stick with me for a long time to come, and I will absolutely be recommending to all my dark romance friends.

This is the last book in the Lovely Broken Doll trilogy…or is it?! OMG I am mourning the loss of this story in my life! I am so invested in Ava and her two brothers (the Warden and the Shadow) that my heart went up and down with this rollercoaster ride of a book! Just when you think Ava is safe in the safety of her brothers’ arms, danger lurks around the corner in the form of The Sochai. At the end, your heart is torn out of your body, stomped on and replaced, just for it to happen all over again!
Sienna Blake is an incredibly talented writer! I can’t wait to read the follow up novella to end this trilogy!
Thank you to Siena Blake for providing me an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

🌶️Masked men
🌶️Touch her and die

Sienna has left me wrecked and completely speechless. This final installment had me crashing in so many emotions. I fell in love with all 3 characters and my heart ached for them. The ending… left me in tears. Happy and sad tears.
This was such a difficult read because I knew the end was inevitable, and I fought myself to take breaks so I wouldn’t finish so soon. The plot twists, the passion, and the gut punches… It was torturous, but oh so beautiful!
I am beyond grateful for ARC-ing the series. I hope to do so for another one of Sienna’s in the future!

Future readers, please be sure to consider the trigger warnings before reading.

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a way to wrap up this series! I have been crying for the last 20% 😭 This is the second time that I have stayed up all night (it’s 6 am as I’m writing this) to finish a book in this series.
I had no idea where this was going, who Ava would choose, my heart ached for both Ciaran and Ty… The ending was perfect.
I enjoyed this series SO much! The plot twists, the spice, the chemistry, everything! Thank you so much for my ARC copy 💜

Welp.. that was heart wrenching..Want a series that will literally kill you and bring you back to life in the same Chapter... well you've found it! I have loved Sienna's writing in her other book series but this one puts the cherry on the top. I have never read a true dark romance series until Catching pretty.. and I am ADDICTED. No matter what genre she writes it is well thought out, action filled, with earnest love triangles that have you switching teams back and forth. Was I hoping for a why choose... yes... was I disappointed at the outcome... no. Will I be rereading this series, YES I WILL.
