Talyn, who wants nothing more to than to be Human Talyn. Narah, who is already a hot commodity, has another race chasing her tail to stake their claim. Merck, hot guy, larger than life changer has probably the best job in the universe. Follow along as each of these characters give us a look into how they see things, how they feel, what they think and try to figure out what they are going to do. Females are to be protected, but seriously, would you get in Narah’s way? Only a huge revelation can slow her down, once the boys find out.
Yep, Tamara Rose Blodgett is at it again! Each episode gets grittier, rawer and more smokin’ hot as she continues to chronicle the lives of alphas and the women they want. From start to finish, each scene takes on a life of its own as the characters become ever more entangled, ever more caught up in the web of the world of the paranormals. Lycan Alpha Claim 4 is just another example of the imagination that pours onto paper from the mind of Tamara Rose Blodgett and Marata Eros, for whom, I am sure we owe a debt for the just the right amount of spice and heat!

But the wolf hiding underneath my skin does. When he holds out his hand, something inside me dies. My humanity. WHOA!! I did not see that coming at all! WOW!! I have no idea where Tamara is taking this but what a helluva ride!!! They say it's not about the destination but the journey that gets you there. Well, this is one thrill ride of a journey to end all journeys! And it’s not yet over!!! I cannot believe how consumed I am with this series! So much so that the wait between releases is all but killing me! Tamara has gone well beyond 'just' writing a story. She has created this dark, raw, gritty & hot, oh so VERY HOT world where so many different types of paranormals exist!! Of course, they are all wanting to change Talyn who only wants to go back a week to when she was blissfully ignorant of all of this and just be Talyn the Human. Too bad that everyone fighting for her doesn't want her, doesn't want happily ever after, they just want to breed her. Or do they? I have no idea what will happen, but for some reason I want it to happen with Merck. He's so, I don't know...all sexy Changer! I think is mostly because the story is told in first person mode from 3 different characters - Merck, Talyn & Narah - which is easy to follow. All of this and more, enriches the story to epic proportions! To lighten the story, there's humor sprinkled throughout which had me in stitches a time or 4! I probably laughed at some that weren’t maybe meant as funny, but it’s one of those things that when you are so engrossed in the story and something surprises you, you bark out a HA! or 3! Tamara and her phenomenal talent have blown me away with this series! My only 'complaint' is that I discovered this series with Lycan Alpha Claim #1 not having been released yet, and since I can't possibly NOT read each part as its released, I have to keep waiting for Tamara to write & release each part!! Okay, that isn't a 'real' complaint, but this is such a FANGTASTIC & WOLFTACULAR series and I am beyond impatient and NEED to keep reading!!! Told you Tamara has me consumed with this series! And with each part I keep falling deeper & deeper into the PAWMAZING, gritty, darker & oh so very sexy Lycan cave! One that I never want to leave!!
Listened to audio narrated by Holly Elise. As I indicated in previous reviews, it's hard to review without giving story away so there are spoilers in this review.
This is part of 4 of 6 short vignettes about a hybrid shifter who is on the cusp of changing. In order for her to change she needs another shifter to help her transition by having sex with her. It's also about the hybrid vampire Narah that Talyn hired to protect her.
At this point in the series Talyn had been kidnapped and two separate groups have come to rescue her.
The hyrbrid vampire Narah and her team as well as, Arden and Merck go in to rescue Talyn. While Talyn does get away it comes with a steep price for Talyn and Narah's secret being revealed.
To save herself Talyn must transition but will it be willingly or by force and who will be in Talyn's future?
While this is suppose to be a short, there's chunks of story missing leaving the details of exactly what happened to the various characters and during important events up to the reader's imagination, Then too much time is spent on the secondary characters making a reader feel like Talyn was forgotten. There's also some odd word choices, mixed with some intimate, connected moments leaving me feeling a confused reader wanting to like this book more than I did.
I loved it so thrilling and surprising the amazing twists and the awesome characters are making this story beyond brilliant!!!!
I really enjoyed Talyn in this instalment she is voicing her opinions and being hilarious about it!! She is bold and has come to terms with her fate but will she follow through and become the destined wolf.
Drake is an interesting development and I am excited to see where this will go.
The sexy scenes are HOT!!!!
Merck is so sweet and delicious!!
Narah and Murphy are still hilarious and Matthew and Aeslin are still overprotective while being super hot!!!.
I cannot wait for Episode 5 I'm so close to the end I dont want it to end but I really want to know what will happen. Im on the edge of my seat here!!!!
Another wicked and delicious hit!!! I don't know where the author comes up with the ideas for some of the creatures in her series', but I am surprised every time! Without giving any spoilers, I love some of the twists and turns this one takes. Not only do we have the electricity and fire of Talyn, Merck and Drake, but there's exciting news concerning Narah and her mates. It's sexy and steamy with some danger and humor thrown in for good measure! I can't wait to see which direction our little changeling goes next! This is turning into one fantastic adventure!
Part 3 in this series. The female protagonist is about to be changed, but by whom? Now we add in a dragon to the vampires, lycans, and assorted other creatures wanting her for breeding.
The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed.
