Amelia Baxter’s got one simple assignment: she is to sneak through the Breach into the universe where werewolves exist and observe, document, and report back. But when the sassy-mouthed, chubby college professor discovers that she’s crossed over right in the middle of the annual Alpha Claiming Festival, she’s fascinated. And when two handsome Alpha brothers beg her to spend the weekend with them in their Mating Cabin, she can’t say no. Of course, it’s all for research, right? After all, no human from her world has ever had this opportunity to get this close and personal with werewolves before! Unfortunately, leaving behind two deliciously sexy Alphas who have locked their sights on her as their Forever Mate isn’t as easy as she thought it would be…and when she crosses back over to her world, she walks straight into a nightmare of betrayal and deadly threats to all she loves most. Will her Alphas get to her in time, or will secrets from another world prove to be even more deadly than those who seek to betray her?
Georgette St. Clair writes hot, sexy romances starring Alpha heroes. The road to love may be rocky and fraught with peril (and humor and scorchtastic sex and healthy heapings of snark), but her shifters will stop at nothing to claim the women they love.
Georgette has worn many hats in life: newspaper reporter, EMT, internet marketer, cocktail waitress, temp, nurse’s aide (not in chronological order).
When she’s not rescuing fur-babies, she spends her days in a fantasy universe where she nudges her smart-mouthed, take-no-gruff heroines onto paths which will set them on a collision course with true love.
I have read books by Georgette St. Clair before and I knew I wanted to read more by her... why it took me so long to finally pick up another one of her books I will not know but I finally have and I have to say I am not surprised that I fell in love with this series too. As a child my least favorite fairy tale was Little Red Ridding Hood but as I became an adult I shifted to enjoying reading about the Wolves.... I guess sometimes as you grow some things change. I enjoy reading books by Miss St. Clair. I'm always guaranteed a good time. Her storytelling technique is smooth flowing, her characters are likable.
Up until recently, shifters in general and werewolves in particular were my least favorite paranormal creatures. Little Red Riding Hood was never my favorite fairytale, but wouldn't you know it, werewolves (and werewolf porn) are beginning to grow on me;-)
Especially when they are funny, cocky, sexy and protective Alphas like Clayton and Holt. Double the pleasure, double the fun. * wink wink*
Down on her luck college professor and anthropologist, Amelia Baxter, really hits paydirt when she accepts a mission that means she will have to sneak into the Breach, a parallel world where werewolves exist alongside humans. She's to study, observe and report back but is soon waylaid and courted by the sexiest set of twins she's ever laid her eyes on, and Holt and Clayton are not about to let her go. As it happens, Amelia has crossed over just in time for the annual Alpha Claiming Festival, and she can kiss her anthropological ideals goodbye... Because sometimes, being... eaten... by wolves can be the best thing that's ever happened to you. Not to mention, deliciously tempting. After all, it's just for a couple of nights, right?
A solid, short and sweet little story. There's some danger, some secrets that threaten their HEA, but who needs a knight in shining armor when you've been Claimed by two sexy beasts?
Overall a very enjoyable story with a couple of ménage scenes thrown in for good measure. I wouldn't mind reading MacKenzie's story later on, not to mention how Karlie is weaned off Bob;-)
I enjoy reading books by Miss St. Clair. I'm always guaranteed a good time. Her storytelling technique is smooth flowing, her characters are likable and honestly, I love the HEAs in all her books. I'm also very appreciative that her books are priced at $0.99 initially, before going up. I really feel rewarded as a loyal reader of her stuff. I look forward to more lovely books by Ms St. Clair!
I very much enjoyed this story, hopefully the start to a new series. It is not mentioned on the authors website if there is more to come. My only gripe was the story was flowing along nicely, then the ending seemed a bit rushed. Everything tied up in just a few pages. Not this authors usual style. I am looking forward to reading more about some of the other characters from this book.
I don't particularly have opinions on the romance. It was like a fantasy (not in terms of the werewolves), a woman who thinks she's ugly because she's bigger, being worshipped by two men who think she's lovely. The cultural differences between realms was an interesting idea. I found the bad guys kind of obvious. It was a meh kind of book for me, not really leaving any strong impressions.
What a great ménage shifter story with a different take on shifter territory both heroes were truly good guys and the heroine was a determined special person
Twin Alphas: Claimed is the first book in Georgette St. Clair's new series and it was great I liked that it was a little different with 2 separate worlds one for humans and one for werewolves although in the world of the werewolves there are mage's and the humans who live in this world live knowing and accepting this world. On the other side there the humans live knowing werewolves exist but that's about it, so on this side lives twin sisters Amelia and Karlie. Accepting a job to investigate the other world Amelia crosses the breach which it appears only her and her sister can do and steps into the Alpha Claiming festival and it goes from there the usually happens - 2 alphas claim her, she leaves them and then gets kidnapped and they rescue her and her sister. I really liked this book it was a little short for me and I while I think the author did a great job I would have liked it to be a little longer and see everything develop a bit slower but even saying that it was done well, it's not meant to be real life it involves magic, werewolves and different worlds, and I didn't feel like anything was missing.
I really enjoyed this one. Creative world-building, sexy werewolves, a bashful BBW and enough plotting behind the scenes to make for an interesting story. There is a good set up with two newly connected worlds and lots of room to take future stories in many different directions.
After an earthquake opens a breach between two worlds there is hope for travel between them. But complications ensue and life is disrupted, especially on the Earth side of the rift. One family has a secret portal to Clare de Lune and Amelia sneaks across in an attempt to help her family financially.
I love the new direction the series is taking, with a rift opening between an Earth with no shifters and the Earth with the author's shifter/human/mage population. Amelia crosses to the shifter Earth to do a study for the university she works for. There she meets twin alphas who want to mate her, as well as a whole lot of problems. But the problems she faces on the shifter Earth may not be as great as the problems she faces on her own Earth. I love how the author sets up her books, with the romantic trio meeting then having to deal with very significant issues. It makes for an interesting page turner, one I cannot put down until I finish.
Although the premise had potential, the book didn't quite deliver it for me. Again, lack of proper editing leads to a lot of grammatical errors, inconsistencies, and it makes it seem like the author had little interest in publishing a good quality book.
As far as the actual plot goes, it's OK. There were parts that I thought were not needed and the word count should have been used to add maybe more depth to the characters. It's not the worst shifter book I've read, but it's also not even close to my top 10 or even 20.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. For me, having two worlds existing side-by-side was a new twist on the werewolf-human relationship idea. The author did a great job explaining the connection and beginning the interaction between the two worlds. The primary characters are interesting and fun, the bad guys are mean and ornery, and with the HEA all parties get what they deserve. I recommend you read this book - I'm going right now to buy #2 in the series!
Slightly different view of the werewolf world. Good characters, and an easy to follow writing style. A little spice, a little drama, a little suspense. Another one where I really enjoyed the storyline, but I wish it was longer. Also, nice introduction to secondary characters that opens the door to sequels--which I would definitely read.
I chose the book based on the title and reviews. What woman wouldn't want two hot men who love voluptuous women and aren't afraid to let the world know it.These Alphas risk their lives for the love of their lives. The sex was great and tastefully written. I can't wait to read other books by this author. I definitely recommend this story.
Great twist on a werewolf romance tale...humans and werewolves existing in alternate worlds with a portal connecting the two. This was a fun, quick, sexy read that has me looking at twins a whole different way. Twice the nice...right? Even though the ending felt a bit rushed, this was an enjoyable read. Now, I want to see Amelia's twin, Karlie, get her own matched pair of Alpha werewolves.
Claiming Festival, Breach to two worlds, greed, espionage love a story that has a little bit of everything. The story of Amelia, Clayton, & Holt is a romance any girl would want. Especially a girl not used to all that attention. :-) Ms. St. Clair writes Shifter stories that gives us big girls their due! I love it!
I came across this on Amazon looking for a new hot, steamy and quick book to read. Well I got one out of three... It was quick. I just did not like this. The story had a good premise but for some reason I just did not like it. I have read a ton of books so it takes a lot for me to love something and this just did not do it for me.
Twin Alphas:(A BBW WEREWOLF ROMANCE) By Georgette St. CLAIR
As always a wonderful way to relax and enjoy your day reading her wonderful stories. I know you will enjoy it too. Only wish that it was just a bit longer though. She does leave room for expansion.
At first I didn't think I would like the split worlds but it was so well done that I loved this book and will be reading number two right away!! Thank God I made myself read it because I like all her other stuff.
I can't get enough of this book . The only thing that could be better is if it was an audio book so i could listen to it in the car or just around the house.
This is such a fun and unique book. I loved the alternate world of hot steamy alphas. What woman wouldn't love to be surrounded an loved by sexy alpha men? Nope, can't think of any.
