What happens when a secret girl omega disguised as a male beta captures the attention of the hottest rock band in the world?
Jordan has spent years waging war in the shadows, they've been hiding their identity and taking down alphas who enjoy targeting omegas. Then a hate-fuelled attack targets Asher Wilde, the fearless omega front-man of Wild Honey, and Jordan is called out to the front lines.
It all just started as a favour to get a contract. Jordan wanted to help the band track down the extremists who were behind the attack, and Jordan wanted to do that from the safety of their digital fortress. There was supposed to be no face-to-face meetings, no strings, and there was supposed to be no risk for Jordan.
Jordan hadn't counted on Asher, Damon, Knox, Silas, and Dante to pull them into their rockstar world of glamour, luxurious tour bus nests, and all the other temptations that have Jordan's inner omega clawing to come out.
Jordan knows that Asher and his pack of rock star alphas are very dangerous, constantly flirting, spoiling, heated gazes that make Jordan feel like they see through her disguise. And it all scares the bejeezes out of her.
And Jordan fears even more when they realize that the group that's stalking Asher, that group could be connected to the very alpha cult that she's been running from for the last nine years.

This rockstar romance features a secret girl omega hacker masquerading as a male beta, a smoking hot male omega rock star, and the four overprotective alphas that make up the rest of the band. They all share, but the male omega is obsessed with the FMC and the focus is still on her. No cheating, no abuse or bullying within the pack, no OW drama, no breakups, ALL the feels.
Claimed by The Band is the 1st book in the Flameverse series by Harper Lennox. Harper is a new author to me and I have to say that I was just blown away by the depth and breadth of the story that she has woven here. It captivates you from the very first page and doesn't let you go till you have read the very last syllable. In the world Harper has created we find like in other worlds there are Alphas, Betas, and Omegas and each one serves their own purpose to the community and they are each vital to their way of life. Without one, the community would fail to thrive.
Jordan has been running for years, longer than she can honestly remember. When she emerged as an omega her family used this status to keep her under their heel and their control. You truly understand and feel just how crazy, insane, and cultish her family is. Jordan has been through unimaginable terrors. All Jordan wants is to see the insane and crazy Alphas stopped from controlling and oppressing all those they see as below them, especially those who are Omegas. Jordan has learned how to make the digital world her home and people pay her to find and hurt those who hurt with more than just their words.
There was never a time when Jordan had imagined that she was going to get drawn into the band. They are trying to fight off their own haters as they have an Omega as their lead and all the rest of his bandmates are Alphas. To a degree, this could be called a reverse harem, but it's never just about sex for any one of them. This is far from it. Jordan has been spending the last several years in the public as Echo, a man, and all she's wanted is to blend in as a man and she's done it at all costs.
Jordan never expected Asher, the lead singer, to draw her in and help her forget that she's been on the run for all these years and that she could let someone in to know the real her and accept who she is.
On Asher's side, he never once thought that he would be so drawn to Jordan. Even when she was fighting to maintain her identity as Echo, he still knew that Jordan/Echo was something special and he wanted to get to know them better. I just loved how kind, caring, soft, and sweet Asher is and yet he knows when he needs to take the lead and he knows how to do just that.
I also loved how it wasn't just Asher who was drawn to Jordan and felt like she was special. Damon, Knox, Silas, and Dante are also drawn to her and as they are all Alpha's they have unique strengths and personalities and yet they know just how to make Asher shine and in time they help Jordan find her own way to shine as well.
The relationships that they all build together is just beautiful and the way it forms just seems so natural. The way that Damon, Knox, Silas, and Dante understand that there has to be a good reason that Asher is attracted to Jordan and can't get her out of his mind is mind-blowing. I love how they understand that even though he loves and cares about them, there's still a piece of him that's missing and he has to step out of their pack to fill that need and they never once try and stop him from doing what he needs to do. I felt like they were all just waiting for Jordan's arrival.
I love the way that Damon, Knox, Silas, Dante, Asher, and Jordan all stick together, protect each other, have each other's backs, and even work together to eliminate the threat to Asher and all the other Omegas. It was stunning to see the lengths that Damon, Knox, Silas, and Dante would go to in order to show just how much they supported not only Asher but also Jordan.
I love the way that the entire band embraces and accepts Jordan without any anger or upset when she finally removes her disguise and reveals that she's not Echo the man, that she is Jordan a woman and not a Beta but an Omega. They just love and support her and it felt so genuine that it brought tears to my eyes.
I loved this book so much and I enjoyed it. Harper gave us all the action and drama that we could ever want. She gave us a kick-ass FMC who just wanted to help others, she gave us a group of accepting MMCs, and she reminded us that it's important that we accept all people from all different walks of life. And believe you me, you are not going to mind what so ever slowly reading and devouring Jordan goes through her heart and the lengths that the entire band, Omega Asher included, help her get through it comfortably.
This is going to be a story that you never once expected you'd be reading, the novel that you never imagined you'd ever find yourself picking up, but you're going to find yourself curling up and feeling like you're finally home with the Band.
I highly recommend this great read. Harper Lennox and River Ramsey did a knockout job in writing this amazing book. I look forward to reading whatever Harper and River write next, they are 2 authors that I am going to be watching for in the future.
