Even with Earth devastated by an asteroid impact and a tyrant ruling with an iron fist, Skyler Williams is still shocked when she suddenly awakens on another world, naked and on display for three alarmingly sexy aliens. Her captors make it clear that they expect to be obeyed, and she quickly discovers that even the slightest defiance will earn her a painful, humiliating spanking.
But she was not brought to their world merely to be used for their pleasure. She was sold to them by Earth's corrupt government, and her new owners plan to breed her, taking her over and over as they seed her with the offspring that they hope will begin to rebuild their population. The only thing left for her to decide is how sore her bottom will be when she finally surrenders to her body's demands and begs her masters to claim her as roughly and shamefully as they please.
Publisher's Note: Claimed includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.
* How did the book make you feel?: It was a fine, brief and entertaining read. * How do you feel about how the story was told?: There was good world building, but little depth. There was instalove. This was a quick read. * What did you think about the main characters?: I didn’t feel like they had much depth to them. The h’s motives and 180 degree flip to instant devotion made little sense. The aliens never convinced me that they really cared for the h other than her being a baby machine. The discipline took away all of the h’s agency. * Which parts of the book stood out to you?: There were some hot scenes. * What themes/tropes did you detect in the story?: reverse harem, aliens, instalove, forced breeding * What did you think about the ending?: It was a fine, mated HEA as was expected. * What is your impression of the author?: This was an okay read. Not really my cuppa. I like a bit more character depth and angst.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
It starts with one of those typical post-apocalyptic beginnings. The world as 'we' know it has ceased to existed due to an asteroid decimating most of the population leaving only a few survivors. They end up in Sectors in a dictator like system living to work hard for the Nobles in power only to barely survive in the slums. Turns out in order to stay in power, the Nobles sell their slum-girls to aliens as breeders and Skyler has just been chosen to be the next alien bride - Oh, boy!!!
Skyler has not always lived a hard life. She remembers a life with her parents, a life before the 'President's' dictatorship took reign, before he killed them and took her happiness away from her. She's on a mission to take him out and some alien isn't going to stop her, even from thousands of light years away. But when one alien turns into three, she knows she's in trouble and they mean business. They aren't going to put up with her sass. She may keep saying she hates them and what they do, but there is no denying that her body has other thoughts on the subject (naughty, delicious, steamy, hot thoughts). Soon she has to make a decision, fight to hold on to the revenge of her past or hold on the the budding love that is growing today. It's a steamy RH with plenty of light BDSM, spanking, D/s scenes.

Healing the heart Once again this author has captured my imagination and my attention with this fantastic RH book. There are so many elements to the story that I didn't know which way to turn next. I love how the three kings caught their queen when she wasn't trying to be caught. They showed such devotion to her from the beginning, and as she slowly came around it just added an intensity to the story that kept me glued to my ereader. The author has such a fantastic ability to bring the heat that I crave, wrapped in a romance story, full of action and danger that she just keeps bringing me back for more. This book is one that I know I will read again often, well at least until the author sends out her next new release and once again I am lost in a world of her imagination.
Claimed was a dark sci-fi romance wet dream! It is a stand-alone book is that I wish it was a series because it is so good. This book will keep you on the edge of your seats and if you were the heroine, Skylar, in the book, it would be due to a very sore bottom..wink, wink. I loved Skylar's character as she is so strong, sassy, and loves fiercely. There is plenty of kink, spankings, and discipline along with adult sexy content. If that offends you, you may want to find a different book, but I think this book is worth 5 stars+. Guaranteed HEA!
This is an exciting alien, human story trying to save their people and planet I think it is fair to say that just like the other Chloe Kent books I have read this was filled with a wealth of wonderful characters and s plot that simply held you captured right from the very start of this wonderful read. Living under the despicable rule of Robert Foister, the man who had only survived along with the plethora of other due to the brilliance of her Father a brilliant scientist whom she had seen murdered when she was still only eight. She was also supposed to have been murdered and buried along side her already deceased mother and father but she had been taken in by a worker that had raised her as his own daughter. Now she has grown into an adult and she lives for only one thing and that is to eradicate the man that killed her parent and stop the tyranny that is currently used on New Earth. Unfortunately, she finds herself being whisked off planet as the prospective mate for three aliens’ kings on the planet Asarog and their names were Alryck, Drykin and Wistan the older was first, Middle then youngest and she was to bear them a child which would help save their planet. This is a wonderful read it has so many twists and turns and there are so many hurts and damage that has happened on both New Earth and on Asarog and as you read more and more of the story you will be totally captivated. As always, I cannot wait for the next book by this wonderful author and I can guarantee that once you start reading you will be blown away and like myself will not be able to put this book down until you reach the very last page. I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.
I borrowed Claimed through KU. The book is a reverse harem romance about an Earth girl named Skyler who is sold to be the mate of a trio of alien kings. They need her to breed for them in order to save their planet. Since breeding is the point of the book you can expect a lot of graphic sex.
Unfortunately for Skyler humans and their race don’t match up quite perfectly and often the sex is quite painful for her in the beginning. I actually like the forced to breed premise and I like the idea of sex that borders on painful, but in the end, you know it will be fantastic so this worked for me.
Skyler is rebellious because she doesn’t want to be there and even though she has consented it’s quasi at best because while she is attracted to them… she really wants to go home. They bought her from Earth, and it cost them all they had so they are definitely not going to allow her to leave. The clashing causes lots of upset so there is plenty of spanking from all three men.
Overall, I found this book a quick read and very enjoyable. The positives are lots of steamy sex and spanking. The world building is interesting and unique, and I found myself very interested in how their society worked. It does end in a pretty complete happy ever after.
The negatives mostly come in at the end. The ending felt predictable and rushed to a certain extent. It basically ended with a somewhat strange sex scene which was plot related but still felt out of place, and then a short epilogue which wrapped everything up nicely.
Reverse harems in general tend to be sex heavy, but to be honest the world building was good and I didn’t feel like we got enough time to get to know each brother so I would have preferred to skip that last sex scene and instead work in some more of those other areas.
It was a pleasure to read this truly fascinating, dark Sci-Fi reverse harem romance. It has an interesting plot that describes two very unique but different worlds (Earth & Asarog) & they each have an individual outlook on life and social manners. The characters are well-developed & have very unique individual personalities that are realistically flawed to a certain extent & it was a quite a journey before they finally got their HEA. It is about: a feisty young human female (Skyler Williams) discovers to her dismay that she has been chosen & sold to three very domineering male aliens who happen to be the Kings of Asarog (Airyck, Drykin & Wistan). There is: a despicable New Earth Ruler (Robert Foister), a strange planet (Asarog), mates, secrets, blackmail, corruption, vengeful feelings, adventure, action, confusion, defiance, confrontation, disagreements, punishments, humiliation, distrust, domination/submission, bondage, deceit, betrayal, manipulations, devious intentions, emotional turmoil, compromises, happiness, explicit steamy scenes & a hard-earned happy ending.
Skyler is outraged when she is sold at an alien bride auction but she can’t deny the roaring attraction she feels toward the three Asarog kings (Airyck, Drykin, Wistan) who say she is their mate. The three Kings have their hands full with Skyler as she refuses to listen to them about becoming their queen and even with her harsh punishment, she feels the connection growing between them. Dark forces don’t want Skyler helping the 3 Kings reverse the devastation on Asarog. With deception underfoot, Skyler is unwittingly used to harm her 3 Kings, & she knows the sacrifice she must make in order to save the alien kings she has fallen in love with. But her 3 Kings won’t give up without a fight & Skyler will soon learn just how far her 3 Kings will go to save their queen.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. New Earth is not home for Skylar any more. She finds that she has been sent off the planet and sold. The Kings of Asarog have bought her to help rebuild their world. Airyck, Drykin and Wistan plan on breeding, dominating and mating with Skylar. The world building is wonderful in this book. It takes you from her past, how New Earth became so horrible under the dictator, and then the world of Asarog. The characters and their stories grab you and pull you in. Chloe gave us another well written darker alien romance. I look forward to reading more from her

This story took me totally by surprise I liked it that much but wasn´t really expecting that somehow as some of the descriptions of the story sounded like it would be somewhat far out. But that it was not. It started with good descriptions of the situation "today", i.e. of the when it was supposed to be happening. The rest of the story was the same had quite a good storyline and I just loved most of the characters. Overall it was very fun to read and now I am wondering if there will be more stories about these trinity planets? That remains to be seen but if so then I want to read them also.

This amazingly well-written Dark Sci-Fi Romance was intriguing as it has very well-thought out scenes and storylines. This interesting story is of a corrupt government selling people into slavery and these characters are well crafted, both the good and the bad. These characters have very strong wills and personalities and their interactions are believable and sometimes painful.This wonderful story has the following: intrigue, twists and turns, adventure, action, aliens, betrayal, humans, danger, love, steam and a HEA. It is a fast-paced book that will keep you engaged from start to finish.

I received a copy of this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I loved the story of Skylar, sold through an alien bride program and claimed by not one but three kings - Wistan, Airyck and Drykin to help rebuild their world. What follows is a remarkable tale of strong wills and strong personalities which makes for a fantastic read. When this author brings out more books I hope I have the pleasure of reading them. Thank you Chloe.
An enjoyable dub-con reverse harem erotic romance. So basically something for everyone 😂 Skylar has the potential to save her three mates’ planet, but can she forget the mission she left uncompleted on her own planet?
A dark sci-fi romance story. The story was interesting, the characters fit well together and have amazing chemistry. The story will keep you interested to see what will happen next.
A wonderfully imaginative story with a paranormal vibe. The characters are memorable as was the storyline. I really enjoyed reading this book and hope to read more books from this author.
I requested a copy of this book so I could provide an honest review
Absolutely loved this Sci-Fi romance by Chloe Kent! I couldn’t put it down. It was full of steam, humor, suspense and a trip away from Earth. A trio of cocky alpha Asarogian Kings and a sassy as sin earth woman.
Assim...eu gostei, mas ainda goi fraco? A luta dela com eles, o relacionamento sendo apenas sexo, sexo, sexo...não teve uma conexão, eles nunca a ouviram, foi forçada várias vezes e isso me incomodou bastante. Também a forma de resolver tudo era dando surra e fazendo ela se rebaixar, tudo bem que eles realmente fizeram muito por ela, mas o mínimo deixou passa???? Tipo, salvaram ela de algo terrível, mas não a trataram como importante no fundo...só fizeram o que queriam. Todo mundo pode te salvar, mas estar com você nas pequenas e significantes coisas não. Por isso meu voto foi um 2
The main female character drove me insane, she just whined and caved through the whole story. I struggled to finish the book and the male characters had no depth while also being jerks. No one truly communicated anything, just gave blind reactions. If you're looking for just the hot scenes, it might go up a few stars.
What save this book was the juicy and steamy scenes. The story line was pour and so much was left out. I felt some parts were rushed and not clearly explained too. If it wasn't for those steamy, juicy and hot scenes the book would of gotten 1 by 2 stars.
Ugh 3rd pov! I don't know why most sci-fi and pnr books are 3rd pov. Personally for me makes the book drag on. And boy did this book drag on. - so much repetition on Skylar's end. - I hate when authors make the heroine infertile at the hand of the villain. It automatically makes me dislike the book. I pretty much skimmed to the end to see if it was true.
This story is definitely different from what I've read before, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading it 😄. Lots of intense situations, insane bad guys, lots of sexy scenes and totally interesting characters 😉. Thanks Chloe, I really enjoyed reading this story and look forward to reading more 🤓.
This is one great story about how much love you can give and have. There’s so much tension and drama everywhere in this story. Skyler has made an impact on each of her men and found her own way to get an happy ending.
I enjoyed this book for the most part. It did get complicated at times, but it’s hard to create a new race of aliens and their lifestyles. Proof reading needs to be done again, I had trouble understanding some passages because of typos.
