Claimed by the Mountain Men: A Reverse Harem Romance
Three mountain men. One woman running from her past.
And a cabin that’s too small to keep their hands to themselves.
Maya came to the mountains to disappear.
New name. New life. No past.
Just a quiet cabin buried in snow… and the hope that no one will ever find her.
Because what was done to her?
It doesn’t stay buried. It follows. It spreads. It destroys.
Then they find her.
The kind of man who fixes problems before they reach you.
He pushes. He provokes. He doesn’t let her hide.
Quiet. Controlled. The one who sees straight through her walls… and doesn’t look away.
They weren’t supposed to want her.
And she definitely wasn’t supposed to want all three of them.
But this mountain doesn’t leave room for distance.
And the closer they get…
…the harder it becomes to pretend this is just temporary.
Because Maya isn’t the only one hiding something.
And when her past finally catches up to her, these men won’t just protect her.
They’ll claim her.

I like her books. Short although a bit the same everytime. I like her writing style and the reverse harem is so normal.
I also love how she incorporates the other series, can't wait for het new books although its still a bit the same. It's a good reset for me.

Maya is running from a nightmare she desperately wants to leave behind. New name, new life, and a tiny snowed in cabin in the middle of nowhere, that’s her plan for disappearing. What she doesn’t plan on is three very different, very intense mountain men basically turning that quiet little cabin into the least private place on earth.
There’s Reid, the steady protector who just handles problems before they even reach you.
Jace, the cocky one who loves pushing her buttons and refuses to let her hide behind her walls.
And Owen quiet, intense Owen, who sees straight through all her defenses and still doesn’t look away.
Each of them hits different spots for me, and together they make the forced proximity trope feel electric.
I loved how the story starts with that slow, tense build up. Four people stuck together in a cabin that suddenly feels way too small… the air gets thicker with every page.
What begins as wary coexistence slowly turns into something hotter, deeper, and way more complicated than Maya expected. The chemistry between all four of them felt well-balanced, each relationship has its own flavor, which is something I always appreciate in reverse harem books.
On the spice side…. 🥵 whew. Adelaide Brooke doesn’t hold back. It starts as a slow burn but once it ignites? It’s explosive, explicit, and frequent. If you’re here for high heat why choose scenes with possessive, touch her and die energy, this one delivers. No jealousy between the guys, just pure focus on Maya and making her feel safe, wanted, and thoroughly loved.
I loved the found family vibe with the three men alongside all the steam. There’s a suspense element when her past catches up, and the way the guys step up protective, possessive, and ready to claim her gave me all the butterflies.
The secret millionaire twist added some nice “oh wow” moments too.
That said, if you’re looking for a super complex plot or lots of outside world building, this stays pretty focused on the cabin and the four of them which worked perfectly for me, but might feel a bit contained for some. Also, heads up for content warnings around past trauma and stalking if that’s something that affects you.
Overall, I had such a good time with this one. It’s the perfect weekend read when you want dominant mountain men, forced proximity, emotional healing, and a whole lot of heat. I finished it with a big smile and that happy, satisfied sigh you get from a solid HEA.
If you love reverse harem romances with protective alphas, snowed in cabins, and no choosing needed endings, definitely pick this up. It’s pure indulgent fun with heart.

Maya has been constantly on the move, with one eye over her shoulder. Her life, as she knew it, was burned by her controlling ex, Daniel. She has had to live with the consequences of his actions.
She has hopefully come to a place where he can't find her. Instead, she comes in the crosshairs of three hot hunks, in the form of her new neighbours.
Reid, Jace, and Owen run a successful business, their a leaders in their field. While out testing out their new designs, they come into contact with Maya. Once they realise their mistake, they apologise and come back the following day to make amends. They keep an eye on her because of the state of the property, and when an incident occurs, they come to her aid.
The three men and Maya soon find that their proximity sets the temperature rising between them. Attraction soon pulls them closer, but what happens when Maya likes all three? Can the men share, or will jealousy become a problem?
The men know that Maya is holding something back, that something in her past is haunting her. Will she ever feel safe enough to confide in them, and what will they do if she does?
When Maya needs to be with her family, the truth comes out. Once she is gone, the men are lost without her; she is theirs, but they know that she has to confront her past for them to have a future. They will prove to Maya that they are all in, they will do anything and everything to clear her name and get her the justice she deserves.

This book completely pulled me in from the very first page and did not let go. Claimed by the Mountain Men is the perfect blend of emotional depth, slow-burn tension, and powerful character growth.
Maya’s journey is the heart of this story. She isn’t just a character—you feel everything she’s been through. The way her past trauma is woven into the story adds so much depth, and instead of breaking her, it ultimately becomes the very thing that strengthens her. Watching her reclaim her power by the end was incredibly moving and empowering.
The relationships between Maya, Reid, Jace, and Owen are what truly make this book shine. Nothing feels rushed or forced—each connection builds gradually, layer by layer. You get to see the trust form, the walls come down, and the emotional bonds deepen in a way that feels real and earned. Each man brings something different to Maya’s life, and together, they create a dynamic that is both intense and beautifully balanced.
The chemistry? Absolutely undeniable. But what I loved most was that it wasn’t just physical—it was emotional, protective, and deeply rooted in understanding who Maya is and what she needs.
By the end, I wasn’t just invested—I was completely attached. This story is about healing, strength, and finding love in the most unexpected places.
If you love reverse harem romance with strong character development, emotional healing arcs, and relationships that build with intention, this one is a must-read.
I didn’t want it to end—and I’ll be thinking about these characters for a long time. 💛

If you’re a fan of intense, high-heat reverse harem romance with emotional depth, "Claimed by the Mountain Men" by Adelaide Brook absolutely delivers.
From the very first chapter, I was hooked on Maya’s story. She isn’t just running away—she’s rebuilding herself from the ground up, and that emotional undercurrent gives the book a lot more weight than your typical steamy romance. Her fear, strength, and gradual healing feel real, which makes everything that unfolds in that mountain cabin even more compelling.
And then there are the three mountain men Reid, Jace and Owen… each one distinct, each bringing a different dynamic to the story. The chemistry is undeniable, but what really stood out to me is how their relationships with Maya develop. It’s not just about attraction—it’s about trust, protection, and slowly breaking down walls.
The snowy, secluded setting adds tension and intimacy, making every interaction feel heightened. You can feel the anticipation building until it finally explodes into some seriously steamy moments.
This was a gripping, emotional, and steamy read that kept me turning pages late into the night. A perfect pick for reverse harem lovers who want both heat and heart. I absolutely adored it.

Healing in the Montana Snow
I really enjoyed Adelaide’s new book Claimed by the Mountain Men. She is quickly becoming an author I immediately pick up.
Maya leaves the city after being severely cyberbullied, and it deeply affects her day-to-day life. To escape the chaos, she rents a cabin in Montana in the middle of winter, hoping for peace and solitude. But one scream brings three sexy mountain men straight to her door.
The uncle and nephew trio spend their days hiking the mountain terrain and stumble upon Maya in a vulnerable moment. Reid, the oldest, is selfless, compassionate, and steadfast. Brothers Jace and Owen balance each other well. Jace is sociable, playful, and always chasing adventure, while Owen is analytical and a quiet observer.
Each man helps heal a part of Maya, showing her that it’s okay to love and be happy again. In return, Maya gives the trio something they didn’t realize they were missing, a sense of family and someone to care for.
I really enjoyed this book, and I loved that Colt and Lucinda made an appearance. I can’t wait to see what this author writes next.

3.5
Potato Scale:
Maya- decent mashed potatoes. Soft, salt, pepper. Perfectly likable. Ultimately what you expect.
Reid- weekday roasted potatoes. Steady, reliable. You've had him before, you know what you're getting, enjoyable.
Jace- respectable oven cooked French fry. Tasty, fun, generic, but hits the spot.
Owen- weekday baked potato. Good. A little crisp on the out side, a little soft on the inside. You threw on a pat of butter and some salt and pepper.
Plot- generic weekday air fried potato wedges. A little salt and pepper. Quick, easy, enjoyable. Just what you needed.

3 mountain men, forced proximity, and more...
I really enjoyed Maya's story. It easily kept me interested.
There was minimal drama, some secrets, and a bit of humor. We also got lots of emotions throughout, growth, and healing. I loved how the relationships formed between Maya and each of her men. The connections seemed genuine and the spice and chemistry was perfect.
The author did a great job wrapping things up and gave a us a satisfying ending!

April 7, 2026Some of these types of books have a very thin story line focusing so much on the romance that all else is seemingly forgotten. This book is not like that. The story was strong from the first page until the very end. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This book features realistic characters with flaws, strengths and a real ability to love others. I encourage you to add this book to your tbr list!

April 21, 2026This was my first time reading this author and I really enjoyed this book! Great character development as well as tackling a subject that needs to be talked about and addressed more. So many reverse harem books have more flash than substance, this book strikes a nice balance between the steam and the subject development. Strongly recommend reading this book and I look forward to reading more from this author!I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This was a beautifully written piece of art. From the very first page I was captivated by Maya and her stubborn strength. The men were equally amazing in their own ways but the way they took care of each other, especially in the hard times was really amazing. This is my first Adelaide book and I highly doubt it will be my last.
Review of advance copy received from Author
I loved the story, it was entertaining, great description of scenery and animal (wolves) behaviour. Relatable characters and a satisfying ending. Happy with the reactions and actions of the men after they found out Maya's secret, mature, giving her space, but not too much. Nice spice too.

Good but.....
The writing style is decent but a bit cold and detached. This story needed more description, more excitement. Subject matter great but it needed more. I finished it while feeling bored at the same time.

Review of advance copy
Adelaide Brook has melted my heart with Claimed by the Mountain Men! Maya and her men broke the mold and I could read about them every day! Reid, Jace, and Owen are soulful, deliberate, and a quiet force of nature. They’re also believable and Maya needs their presence in her life to love her, protect her, and restore her spirit! I could feel every emotion, the tension, and the pain that Adelaide so skillfully portrayed. I love RH, men who commit wholeheartedly, women who are strong, and fully developed relationships! This is a beautiful story, the setting lends itself to the character, and the exquisitely crafted steam is addictive!! I’d give their story a 10 out of 10 and the spice the same!!! I’ll be reading it again and again!!!! I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
