Valerie has broken through the thick exterior of Hunter, Chase and Leif's heart. The guys are showing her that there is more to their relationship besides sex. Valerie has fallen in love with her men and now realizes they are in even more danger than before. How can she imagine a future with the men she love when she fears that she will lose one or all of them anytime they leave the house.

No matter how happy and in love Valerie, Hunter, Chase and Leif maybe; they know that there is an expiration date living a mafia lifestyle. The stakes are high and danger is literally everywhere Valerie and her men go. When a meeting with an enemy mafia leader ends in pure chaos; leaving one dead and his brother Chase injured; Hunter must decide what the next course of action will be to not only ensure everyone's safety but to eliminate the need for more bloodshed.

Valerie is in the thick of things. Dealing with her own family drama, past relationship baggage, working towards her Ph.D and trying to keep her men happy; she now realizes the fine line she is treading and can't help but think about the uncertainty the future holds as many lives continue to hang in the balance.

This series is HOT! HOT! HOT!!! Every book gets better and better. Val has a backbone made of steel and an attitude to match. She knows what she has and knows how to use it when she needs to. Hunter, Lief and Chase have definitely met their match with Val. The chemistry between the 4 of them is out of this world. I love how Val stands up not just for herself but also for the guys, even to those who she should actually be afraid of. I’m very curious for what comes next for them and can’t wait for the next book.

"Claimed by 3" has an overlying feel of foreboding woven into the story from start to finish. There are happy times. Sexy times. Getting to know each other better, while having fun on vacation times.... yet all the while, Valerie feels a sense of foreboding that at any moment something could happen to one or all of her men to take them away from her. Loving a member of the Russian mafia is not for the faint of heart-- but dating 2 members of the Russian mafia AND their bodyguard could very well be the death of Valeria.

"Claimed by 3" is a lighthearted good time--- it's the quiet before the storm and the storm appears sure to happen in Barbi Cox's fourth installment. I literally can't wait!

** As a side note, can I just say that I ADORE Valerie's "Viking" Lief. Everytime he calls her "little Viper" my heart melts. It's so sweet and endearing the way he says it, especially coming from such a trained assassin. Being doted on by this huge hulking man, a man that can kill as easily as he kisses, it does something to me. He has definitely been added to my list of book boyfriends. :).

I'm thoroughly enjoying this series. It's an easy quick read, a real page turner. It includes mafia, feuds, struggle for power, a family reunion, and what many would consider an unconventional relationship with lots of sex between 3 men and a woman. And lastly, a love so intense and all consuming that can't be broken. Or can it?

Mr Volkov aka the tyrant king and mafia Dom is back making demands of his Sons and has a pivotal exchange with Valerie. How do you think he handles the confrontation of this strong determined woman that loves his sons and Leif with the conviction of a warrior and is as fierce as a female lion protecting her family?

Snow White and her 3 dwarfs head out on holiday. They start in New York dropping in on Sofia, her 4 husbands and their 9 week old son. Its a nice reunion but a short one. (I like the cross over with "Daddy's Four Dirty Friends".)

Then they hop their private jet joining the sky high club on the way to Amsterdam where they are able to be themselves. They take in the sites, explore and share their pasts, and I can't forget the abundance of sex!

Then onto Mexico. Teeny tiny bikinis, heat, sand, surf and alcohol. Now they're more relaxed seeing sites, having fun an exploring themselves. Public pda is captured on a camera via a paparazzi, or is he?

When they return all hell breaks loose. Paparazzi pics made public, an enraged father, and a family reunion for Valerie. Then the climatic meeting of a possible truce between the Russians and Italians. There are mind games, bullets, and injuries. Who survives, who's dead, what will happen next?

Happy Reading 📖🌻

Oh bother this story truly left me in a melting puddle of needing more. After three books I think I have finally decided which male would be my favourite, but that is my secret. Everyone else can read the series to figure out their own!

I'm going to say having read the earlier series of Sophie and her men, which this series is (sort) of a spin off from I'm almost prepared to say the Three for Me series might be the better one! Perhaps the characters are just that little bit more dark, mysterious and dominant.

To fully appreciate this book - Claimed by 3, it is a must that you have read the previous two to fully understand the plot and characters as with each book the characters have developed and the plot scenarios grown a little more serious. But the female character of Valerie is truly inspiring, she is smart, sassy, sexy, sensuous and so resilient and really knows how to play her men. True love can not be quashed but the games to figure it out are so much fun for both Valerie and her three hot guys.

I absolutely love Barbi Cox's books. Sophie and her men's stories were some of my favorite, but I think Valerie's stories might beat them out. I love reading about Valerie, Chase, Hunter, and Leif. The differences in their relationships and the togetherness they bring also have me wanting to read more. I love the alpha male personalities they all carry, especially in the bedroom. I'm hooked and I can't wait for more!! I love that Valerie is more of a take charge girl in everything, letting her men that she chose to take control in the bedroom. Her way of handling Stefan is also something that makes me love her personality and the way she becomes a take charge Domme taking over and making him squirm. I love Valerie and her men, hoping to see more!!! I definitely recommend this series and Barbi Cox books!!

The Rise Of The Phoenix -
It was truly amazing to see how Valerie transformed for the sassy, loud fun vixen, into a fierce tigress, who is prepared to defend and reek havoc on anyone who dares to touch what is her. She was the ultimate mix of mama bear and sexually enlightened woman in this story. Lief, Chase and Hunter, also finally acknowledged that Valerie was able to stand with her head held high next to them.

All I can say after reading book three is WOW! Barbi Cox has definitely got me hooked on the story of the fantastic four and I am now itching to see what is going to come up for them in the next book. If you haven’t read the first two, I will urge you to read them before starting this one. This is a definite must read book.

This book is full of action, drama, and hotness!!!

Val and her guys take a much needed break and escape by going on a holiday. We get to see a return of some characters from the "Their Temptation" series which is nice. The bonds between Val, Chase, Lief and Hunter become stronger and we also get some more insight into the history and relationship of Val and her mother. Some things unexpected happens, but I don't want to spoil it so you will just have to read the book for yourselves. ;)

The more I read the series the more I like Val (I started off not liking her that much). All the guys are yummy but I have to say, Lief is becoming my favourite. Definitely read the first 2 books (and even the Temptation series) before reading this one if you haven't already. Can't wait for the next book to see where this story leads.

This story just keeps getting better and better. Valerie has become a champion for "her men" and a stoic supporter that even old daddy Volkov has begun to respect.

There's less angst and more positive energy in this episode. But there's also lots of action, danger.....and blood. But Hunter and Chase are still determined to change the community perspective of the Russian Mafia, and Valerie (and Lief) will be right at their side. Daddy Volkov is going to need to come into the 21st Century. Hunter is ready to take the reins.

Lief (the ladies' favorite bad boy...and mine, too) has come out of his quiet shell and verbally contributes much more to the dialogue in this episode. He's responsible for training Valerie in self-defense, and she's a quick study. She may be small (compared to her guys), but she's a lioness when she needs to be. Nobody but nobody dares to mess with them else they face her ire.

I can hardly praise the story enough, and I highly recommend the entire series.

Claimed by 3 follows on from the ending of Seduced by 3 where Stefan takes a greater interest in Valerie, which puts her safety more at risk. To get her away from the danger Hunter, Chase and Lief decide to take her on a holiday to New York, Amsterdam and Mexico.
I loved getting to see more of Sophia and her men again when they visited New York.
In this book the steam level totally went up a notch! The group scenes on their vacation were red hot and totally panty melting!
Despite all the danger surrounding their relationship it was lovely to see their love for each other, even if they were all nervous to declare it openly.
Of course the threat from Stefan was still in the background and Mr Volkov still was wary about Valerie.
The events in the last chapter I totally wasn't expecting and I'm intrigued to see what happens next with the unknown threat still out there.

FEELINGS ARE DEEPENING!

Barbi Cox takes us to New York, Amsterdam and Mexico in the third book of the series when Valerie's three men take her on vacation!

As each destination is reached so does the emotional bond deepen between them and feelings surface that never have before for either of them which is a very deeply emotional experience throughout!

There is danger ahead regarding the truce and they all know when they return home Valerie will have to make a choice to either stay with them in the safe house or returnn to her apartment....

A scintilating steamy adventure lies ahead for our heroes and heroine and Barbi Cox once again does not disappoint!.

Valerie convinces her men they all need time away to destress and relax. They stop by first to see Sophie and her men, then on to Amsterdam for a few weeks of fun. Hunter, Chase and Leif want to show her a relaxing and fun time before they have to return to the reality of their mafia lives. I love how each of them are so different and need different things from Valerie. It’s plain to see they have all fallen hard for Valerie she loves to cuddle with Leif, Chase is the fun boy who loves her unconditionally and Hunter is the serious one who wants to keep her safe all the time. I love how they grow closed to each other as they all open up to her about their lives and their feeling. The guys go all out to make her feel special, but it’s now time to return home and to the Volkov mafia and to settle thing with their enemy, bad boy Stephen. I love how each of them have their own way of keeping her safe and from harm, but her biggest fear is losing them with the mafia lifestyle they all lead where violence is their everyday life.

Steamy Vacation Goodness – Another 5 Star Installment In The Three For Me Series

Book 3 in the Three For Me series starts out with a bang. On their way to a (hopefully) relaxing vacation, Valerie, Lief, Hunter and Chase stop in NYC for a visit with Sophie and her guys, then on to Amsterdam and finally Mexico for a couple of weeks away from all the DC mafia drama. Ramping up the emotional connection between the four, this installment focuses on the developing feelings between Valerie and her men. I love how Valerie has a nickname for each of her guys and each one has their own for her. Of course, my favorite is still Viking/Lief, he’s just so hot and stoic it’s a treat to see him open up to Valerie. I don’t want to give away any more of the plot, so just read it already! I love this series and can’t wait for the next book.

'Claimed By 3' by Barbi Cox is the third book in her series that tells the story of Valerie and her three men, Hunter, Chase, and Leif. Things are coming to a head and tensions are rising. Valerie convinces her men they all need time away to destress and relax.

First stop is New York to visit Sophie, her husbands and new baby. Then on to Amsterdam for a few weeks of fun. Hunter, Chase and Leif want to show Valerie a relaxing and fun time before they have to return to the situation with their father and ememy, Stephan.

Ms. Cox has written an engaging and delightful story that is more then just a sex romp. This book has depth and facets beyond just an average reverse harem story. Ms. Cox wrote so eloquently about the different aspects of the relationships between Valerie and her men. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who likes some kink with their romance. Well worth the read. Can not wait for the next book.

Well, I just keep falling more in love with these 4 characters with each book! They are all so complex and just keep getting more and more interesting.

Claimed by 3 was filled with so much lust and love. So many hot, passionate scenes, but also so much love between Valerie and her men. Seeing them all just being themselves, with no outside worries, was a breath of fresh air. Each new destination was like taking a quick look into the depths of their souls. And when they all finally profess their love for eachother, I felt it as if I was right there with them.

Valarie is a determined and fiercely strong woman. She loves hard and fights even harder, and Chase, Hunter and Lief are right there with her. The 4 of them complement eachother perfectly.

This book really does have it all; love, laughter, scenes that will make you reach out for your partner, and of course some good ole Mafia action. Now the question is, can these 4 make their relationship last? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

The chemistry between them is insane
Wow this is the third book in the series and I have got to tell you it just keeps getting hotter and hotter and hotter. I’ve got to say I thoroughly like Valerie I like that she is sassy, not scared to stand up to her men but is also patient and understanding when needed. The chemistry between her and these guys individually and in a group it’s just insane it’s off the charts. There’s a lot going on but when they are together nothing else matters. It was great to see them having downtime and spending more time getting to know one another. It was also great to see Sophia, her men and their nine week old baby.
I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

In this part of the series we got to know more about feelings and we saw the character open up more.
I keep saying this since book 1, I love how Valerie is, she has a strong personality, she knows what she wants and works to have it, and in this book we got to see how she faces her feelings and her family history, we also get a view of the emotional side of all the characters.
The final left me wanting for more, I honestly want to know how everything is going to end, if they can solve all the problems and have a happy ending.
I also like that the books keeps you updated of Sophie and her men.

Can. Not. Get. Enough. Of. These. Hunks!!! 😝

This series is only getting better and also has cameo appearances from characters from Their Temptation series 😍❤️

Lots of steamy scenes in here, which I think is totally acceptable and expected. They’re all in a relatively new relationship, so obviously they’ll be at it like rabbits. But the character progression is amazing. You get to see completely new sides to Hunter, Chase and Leif which just makes you fall in love with them even more.

I cannot wait to read more from these characters!.

Valerie has finally come to terms with loving her three men. She has convinced them to take some down time from "work" and have a vacation. They all take their time on their vacation and have a good time working on getting to know each other better. When vacation is done though, her men's "work" comes back in full force into their lives. While her men try to keep her from their "work", Valerie insists on being included no matter the cost. Valerie even stands up to 2 of her men's father and that earns his grudging respect.

This story is full of action! Chase, Hunter and Lief are slowly opening up to Valerie. They go on on an extended vacation away from all the Mafia stuff and enjoy themselves. When they get back, they do group dates as well as one-on-one dates. All of them end up making Val fall further in love with her men. And vice versa, each guys slowly softens up a bit and falls in love with Val.

How will they make this work? Will they be able to keep Val safe?

I enjoyed reading this book! There's tons of action between the sheets and fighting/mafia action!

Truth and Vulnerability
Hot, intense, enlightening and a read that you will not put down. How does one female satisfy 3 men without loosing herself? That’s a question that Valerie is being faced with. Her men are HERS and she’s coming to terms with what that means considering what her men DO for a living! Studying, bouncing around, dealing with her mom coming back into her life and trying to enrich her 3 relationships is a full time job. Can Hunter, Chase and Leif bring all of the worries and stress together to deal with so that Valerie can relax and just Love?.

Valerie is in deep, but boy does she fit in like the perfect puzzle piece. Lief, Chase, and Hunter decide to take her on a vacation she'll never forget following the run in with Stefan and the time away solidifies the bond that they continue to build. Amsterdam and Mexico were so freaking hot!😈😈😈🌶🌶🌶

While Valerie does find some apprehension in her situation because of fear for her guys, she loves them in spite of it all and is willing to go toe to toe with their father, head of the Russian mafia to prove she loves these men and he can't scare her off, buy her off, or run her off. I think I said it before but I'll say it again, Valerie is totally girl crush material.

This book continues the story of Valerie, Lief, Hunter, and Chase. The majority of the story involves building the characters, exploring the men's background, and their vacation to Amsterdam and Mexico. There is a LOT of sexy time in this book. The end of the book has more tension for two reasons. One is when Valerie and her men meet her brother and mother, which doesn't end well. Second, her and the men are meeting with Stefan again. I look forward to the next book to see the story continue. Also, did I mention there was a lot of sexy time? :).

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

This book is not a stand alone but part of a series please make sure you are reading them in order. In this book the gang's all back. Nothing is sunshine and roses for this group it's so many ups and downs you can't wait to get to the next page to see what will happen next. I don't want to give too much away to any reader who hasn't read the first two first. I will say if you though her last series has a wild ride buckle up because this one will have you on a whole new level.

So So Amazing. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

I enjoyed reading this steamy romance story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is a well written story that bring steam to a new level. I enjoyed how the characters were able to pull me into their story from the start. They are not only connectable but kept me coming back for more. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. What happens at a wedding and seven minutes with three hot playboys? I enjoyed watching the growth of the plot throughout. This is a great story that heated up my afternoon. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Exciting, swoony, steamy read.

Valerie and her three men are just so gorgeous I cannot get enough. This 3rd installment in the Three For Me series was so steamy, swoony, and exciting. Valerie is such an absolute kick-ass goddess. Seeing her go head to head with Hunter and Chase's father was fantastic, and I love the way she faces up to any challenge. There were a lot of special moments through this story, but the ending has left me desperate for Book 4.

After Chase, Hunter and Lief are put in a dangerous position Valerie convinces them that they all need a holiday, They agree and escape to Amsterdam and Mexico. Their feelings for each other are revealed and they realize that they will do anything to protect each other. Valerie continues to be a strong independant woman who will stand up for herself and her men, even facing Hunter and Chase's father. I am looking forward to the next book.

I love how the author writes relationships- especially age gap ones. The mafia aspect adds an interesting twist. I love that the groups heads on a vacation for some down time to work on their relationship, which gives us more on how they are interacting together. This story gives a great balance of action, drama and still has room for all the feels. I love that we still get glimpses of Sofie and her guys. I’m so here for that. Be warned… this isn’t the end of Val and her guys story… there’s still a cliffy… I’m invested in them now…I’m so here to see their HEA.

I've loved Valerie's wit and sassiness from the first book but in this book you see more of her strength and resilience. Which was needed with her getting more involved with the Underworld that Hunter, Chase and Lief live in. We also get to see a different side to all of the guys away from their dangerous jobs on holiday. That in itself gave us an insight into each individual guy more. I think that was needed and it gave Valerie's relationship more time to show their emotions and their dynamic to develop. I'm loving this series do much and I can't wait to find out what happens next
