Nova’s done faking good girl energy. She wants more…more heat, more control, and more of the naughty fantasies she’s never dared to say out loud.
Then she meets possessive, dominant, and patient enough to break her down one scene at a time. He gives her praise and pain. Spankings and silk. He pushes her to the edge and makes her beg for the fall.
With Rowan, submission is power. Obedience is worship. And every bruise is a promise.
But real surrender means more than just sex. It means trusting him with the parts of her no one else has touched. And Rowan? He doesn’t just want her body. He wants everything.
Nova’s not scared. She’s ready to be Claimed.

Ehh this book was alright. A woman’s introduction to light BDSM and exploring her fantasies. I wasn’t engrossed in the story. Just felt like reading words on the page. Didn’t feel the sentiment of it all. Like when did they move away from the club?
Yeah, my fav was on demon time with Claimed! I needed something short, filthy, to the point, and enticing - this book provides all that. Do not read in public, or maybe you should.. 🤭
This was a quick lunch time read. I was so glad to see something new from Genesis. She didn’t take any time getting right to it, I will say it became a big repetitive towards the end but I still had a good time. Headed to read book 2 now.
Disclaimer; the plot of this book is smut and nothing but smut! So if that’s not enough for you, this ain’t the one for you. This for my H.F.F.! (y’all know who y’all are!)
Oouwwe, Rowan turned my girl Nova every which way but mf loose. From start to finish!
Bold. Sensual. Liberating. A Grown Woman’s Soft Rebellion.
Let’s talk about desire with a capital D. Not just the sweaty, tangled sheet kind (though this book delivers plenty of that), but the kind that sits deep in your bones the desire to be free, to be seen, to take up space unapologetically.
Nova is 35, freshly divorced, and over the performance of “palatable womanhood.” She’s not looking for approval. She’s not trying to be anyone’s fantasy. She’s done shrinking, done pleasing, and very much ready to choose herself even if that journey begins inside the velvet-lined shadows of a private sex club.
Enter Rowan. Tall, commanding, enigmatic. He’s the kind of man who doesn’t chase he draws. Their first encounter? Brief, electric, and haunting. Their next? A masterclass in tension, touch, and trust. This man didn’t just light her body on fire, he saw her. All of her. And that kind of recognition? Whew. It hits different.
What sets this story apart isn’t just the sensuality (though make no mistake, it’s hot in all the right ways). It’s the soul beneath the spice. Nova’s voice is unfiltered, unafraid, and undeniably grown. Her transformation from wary to wild is delicious to witness. And Rowan? That man understood the assignment. He gave without taking, held without gripping, led without ego.
The narrative is compact but potent just under 100 pages with not a single one wasted. No fluff, no filler. Just raw edges, soft power, and beautifully rendered moments that feel both intimate and cinematic.
Why four stars? Only because I wanted more. More chapters, more backstory, more unraveling. But maybe that’s the magic it leaves you aching for the next, which I immediately grabbed.
If you’re craving a short read that’s as emotionally rich as it is sexually fearless, this one’s calling your name. Liberation never looked or felt so good.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ // grown woman erotica with softness, spice, and full-on freedom
Baybeeee. When I say Claimed was recommended to me with urgency?? And now I see why. This was my first Genesis Woods book and I already know it’s not my last—because this story? Had me in a chokehold from page one.
Let’s talk about it.
Nova is 35, divorced, and done performing the “good girl” role for anybody. She’s ready to reclaim herself, her body, her pleasure—and how does she start that journey? By joining a private sex club, as one does when you’re tired of playing it safe 😏 On her very first night, she meets Rowan. Tall, dark, handsome…and mysterious as hell. They barely exchange words, he disappears into the shadows, and yet he’s all she can think about. So she goes back. And when she finds him again? Chile, he doesn’t just touch her body—he unlocks her soul.
This book isn’t just about kink. It’s about liberation. About being seen. Desired. Claimed. Nova’s journey is about letting go of shame and showing up in her full, nasty glory—and not just being accepted for it, but being celebrated in it. Rowan? That man handled her with care and command. He didn’t judge her. He just matched her energy, gave her space to surrender, and whew… the scenes they shared? Chef’s kiss. Spicy without being vulgar. Intimate without losing heat. Sexy and sacred.
What I loved most though? The emotional depth tucked into all that sensuality. Nova’s story isn’t just about sex—it’s about release. She’s done pretending, done hiding. She wants more. And Rowan shows her she can have more. All of it.
It’s under 100 pages but packed to the brim—tight pacing, vivid visuals, and a lead character you root for from start to finish. The story is told in Nova’s POV, and honestly? That’s all you need. The way she sees, feels, and transforms in this short time is so satisfying.
Final Rating: 5/5 Short. Spicy. Grown. Soft. Dangerous. Everything. And yes—I already dove into book 2 and beyond and the whole series is bomb. Trust me.
idk how i stumbled across this genre of fiction/writing but it's been so FUN to rediscover the type of books and stories that have me ENGROSSED in a book. There's a certain fun and freedom that I've only found in this type of fiction and authors.
I like that it was quick and that it exists. Sometimes I think that as a writer/author, we can become a little too technical instead of imaginative. I don't mind using my imagination to fill in some of the blanks left out and I appreciate authors who are confident enough to deliver stories on a consistent basis.
Shout out to you Genesis, and looking forward to reading more of your work in the future.
Is it naughty? The way he makes her beg is both a turn on and a turn off for me. I would love to hear more “dirty talk” from the MMC too. It was a nice quick read though & I got the vision… very fast pace as it’s only 77 pages but we cover about 4 months of time… might have to go ahead & see what other reads this author has…
I didn’t care for it I forced myself to finish bc I don’t like to DNF. This “novella” had potential to either be a dark Romance with substance or just a quick smut with many more details….getting to the end and seeing these was made in a few days honestly explains everything
I’m not. I don’t know it’s my hot flashes or this book! it’s the book!
Whew chile!!! Nasty is exactly what Nova and Rowan are !! This book is all gas no breaks in the sexy and filthy! If erotica is your cup of tea, baby pour yourself a cup because this is it right here !!
Well, Genesis has done it again in this short story. However, I expected nothing less from her. This book was hot, steamy and satisfying in a Christian Greyish sort of way (iykyk). I can’t wait to read book 2.
Nova did not know what she was asking for when she encountered Rowen! In this short, well written, erotic book, Nova wanted to be claimed and Rowen gave her just what she wanted. Overall great read.
This was a nice lil snack. Tiktok brought me here and I stayed. This isn't a 5 star because things got repetitive and some of the "nastiness" was underwhelming. I'll check out some of the author's other stories soon.
This spicy short was a welcome to my summer reading list. The journey, freedom, and joy of being claimed will be explored one page at a time. This fast-paced adventure will leave you gasping and desiring more as she has the pleasure to STFUATTDLAGG!
Whew 😰 this right here was everything and more you will need in a quick read! The way that Rowan made Nova feel so free was liberating! Something we all wish for inside & outside of 4 walls! 🥵 🌶️ indeed!!!
Straight to the point! She said she gettin her groove back by any means necessary! Loved how she felt so seen through this new journey of hers. And damn he claimed her quick af! Love this for them!
To say this book is spicy is an understatement, this is book makes you tap into your own sexual desires. This book will have you so aroused that your rose will be working overtime 😜
first book from this author and it won't be my last. I believed I was there for all of it. and I loved it ! Rowan, where are you in real life ??? don't make me beg :p
Spicy super quick read new to me authors I will definitely dive into the catalog. I loved the characters and the sub dom relationship. A quick nasty fun read.
