Claimed

by Sass Green

Friends to Lovers * Grumpy Sunshine * Bad Boy Billionaire Innocent Girl Romance * South of France
"Someday your prince will come..."

Yeah, right.

Until then, I’m stuck fetching almond lattes for fashion’s imperious “Butt-Cheek Queen” at St. Tropez’s swankiest resort.

The fairy tale kicks in when gorgeous billionaire Alexander crashes into my world.

Sparks fly.

Heat rises as our soul-shaking kisses turn more intimate ...

...but the brooding billionaire pulls away upon discovering my innocence. "Save yourself for that special someone ..."

With the spell broken, I flirt with his rival at a party.

My possessive billionaire my grips his Champagne flute so hard it implodes.

But then his foe lures me into an exclusive, dimly lit VIP room. Too late, I realize I'm in over my head...

Will Alexander prove my true knight in shining armor—or is my long-held belief in fairy tales shattered forever?

Claimed is a "feel good' swoony billionaire romance with a “grumpy/sunshine” dynamic, age-gap tension, and modern fairy-tale vibes.

If you love Cassie Mint’s addictive insta-love, Nicole Fox’s edgy, heartfelt tension, and T.L. Swan’s bold, globetrotting passion, this is the book for you.

Instalove, Cinderella like….. If this is your genre then this novella is for you. This was a quick read. A poor girl who is taken in by a rich older woman and exposed to the world of wealth that she could only dream about. She meets her prince while he's pretending to be something that he isn't. All a bit cliche. I find it off putting that she's just trying to rid herself of her virginity. There's nothing wrong with being a virgin. The story is well written, but just not the genre for me. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Alexander looks out his window and sees Penelope struggling with the luggage by the car in the rain. He poses as a bell boy and helps her bring everything up to the suite. Penelope shares that she also writes children’s books and illustrates them. Alexander starts calling her Pixie. Frank, the manager, arrives and calls the bell boy, Mr. White. Pixie realizes that he does not work for the hotel but is a guest.

They were obviously intrigued by each other from the very beginning. I enjoyed the story.

A romance perfectly seasoned with spice.

A bad boy billionaire and a nicely naughty pixie in a dress that “rings” with hotness meet in paradise. You can’t beat that as a recipe for a happily ever after billionaire romance.

It’s sweet, and spicy, and even has a match-making feline for pet lovers. This is a perfect book for the beach or a lazy afternoon. The side characters are developed in a way that leaves me hoping they will have their own stories in the future. This is a tantalizing series opener from one of my favorite writers. I received a free copy but my review is honest and voluntary

Do you see that read now button run right on over there, hit it and sit back and enjoy this age gap billionaire romance between Alexander and Pixie. Just make sure you don’t have any plans once you begin reading this book because I doubt, you’ll be able to stop reading it until the end. I was glad that I had dinner in the crockpot and ready to eat because it might have been a bowl of cereal night if I didn’t. This book is FANTASTIC, and I finished reading it in just a few hours.

This Novella was a cozy steamy Romance with a billionaire stranger. A quick read that led me to complete this book in one go and I was hooked. A stubborn girl, determined to break her virginity by the end of her 21st birthday. A sweet and kind billionaire who wants to keep her away to keep her innocence safe for a perfect guy.
Now this makes an interesting banter between them and by the end of it, she is claimed. And it was lovely. I enjoyed it. Recommended.

This is truly a beautiful short story to read especially for those who believe in true love. Both characters made me smile. Penelope ie Pixie for her petite size ....she is so strong minded and outspoken with Alexander. He in the hand, once he met her changed for the better. Oh and Callie and Duchess the cat made such interesting characters in the book. Also loved the proposal scene at Tiffany's. A proposal I m sure every girl wants. I read the bonus Epilogue as well....just loved it.

Claimed by Sass Green is a short age gap novella. He first noticed her, but when he found out she was younger and inexperienced, he tried to back out. Until a perceived rival showed interest, Alexander decided he was not going to have any of that. Pixie ends up being swept by his allure and the rest is history. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. I found the characters well written and it had enough content to satisfy for such a short read. It kept me entertained for a couple of hours. I would read this author again. The spice was well written.
