This novel was previously published and has now been extensively revised to enhance the reading experience and series flow. Please note that earlier reviews may reflect a previous version.

She crossed the border expecting death. She found something far more dangerous.

Kira has spent her whole life following the rules. Keep your head down. Don't draw attention. Survive. But when her father sells her to a cruel merchant to pay his debts, she makes a desperate choice—she flees into orc territory, where humans are claimed as property.

Death would be a mercy compared to the alternative.

Instead, she finds him.

Rakkan has ruled the Northern Reach for two hundred years. Cold. Brutal. Alone. He'd made peace with never finding a mate—until a human woman with fire in her eyes walks into his great hall and the ancient bond roars to life.

She's everything he shouldn't want. Fragile. Forbidden. Human.

He's going to keep her anyway.

But claiming Kira makes her a target. Rakkan's enemies see her as a weakness to exploit, and one rival will stop at nothing to destroy her—and the warlord foolish enough to love her.

Kira survived one monster in human skin. Now she must decide if she's willing to belong to a monster who makes no apologies for what he is.

He'll burn down the world to protect her. She just has to let him.

Claimed by the Warlord is a short read monster romance featuring a possessive orc warlord, a fierce heroine who refuses to break, and enough heat to melt your kindle. This book contains mature content and is intended for readers 18+.

4 terrific🌟 s for Claimed by the Warlord 💖🌟🔥

I really enjoy this author and I've read several books by her now. The storylines engaging and the characters have personality and chemistry. Kira a human woman who has decided to sneak out of her village and cross into Orc territory than stay and be married to a man who has gone through 3 wives each one dying in a different way. When she does she meets a destiny she never dreamed of. Rakkan is the orc warlord and has ruled his lands for 200 years he's tired , lonely and growing harder with each passing year until a Feisty human female is brought to his keep and he catches her sent and something he thought was never ment to be his suddenly comes to life. This has all the elements great male and female lead characters danger having but earn your place and a villain you'll love to hate . My only complaint is when the danger hits its peak you see the aftermath first and I thought I scrolled to fast and missed it. I didn't the aftermath came first take of a claiming after that and then all of a sudden we were back to the danger and it unfolds like it should have happened the chapter before. It just felt out of sequence. Other than that overall great story. 🔥🌟💖🔥🌟💖🔥🌟💖🔥🌟💖🔥🌟💖

The base of the story line was decent but the writing made it difficult to call it good. Events seemed to happen out of place - the FMC & MMC finally coming together felt like whiplash due to inadequate lead up; the bond was referenced as not occurring until the bite but was used as support for their developing relationship as if it had already happened even though it didn’t until later in the book; the MMCs clan colors were red/black/gold with one of her dresses being the color of “fresh blood” to match when a few pages later it talks about emerald jewels matching the color of her dress which was suddenly green as well. There were other similar speed bumps but no point listing them out when you get the gist of my point.

It’s those inconsistencies that killed the overall experience, otherwise, I have enjoyed the first few books in this series. Fingers crossed the next one doesn’t suffer from the same issues as it will kill the 29 book series for me overall & I will be so disappointed 🤞

I enjoyed the story but…

I really enjoyed the story and how promising it was in the beginning but I noticed quickly that parts were out of place and then other things repeated. I noticed this on another of your stories but decided to give this book a go and found the same types of discrepancies. It really takes you out of the story when the MCs have gotten freaky and then the next chapter, the FMC is saying she’s never seen him nude when it was clearly described and there had been multiple instances of them in bed together. I didn’t finish the last book and I won’t finish this one. Once or twice, I could ignore but not continual discrepancies in the plot/timeline or characters. It’s confusing. I don’t normally leave reviews like this but I hope you go back and edit/rewrite.

please edit this

Please pull this and edit. There are repeat paragraphs and feels like parts of another story overlaid by mistake. Could be good if edited and rewritten.

This was my second attempt at monster romance and I will say it was written well but I do wish the author had found more words then “The great hall had been transformed” or “you can not stay with me every moment” and him responding with “I will, Watch me”
