Thanks to netgalley for allowing me a free read in exchange for a review. Thanks for allowing me this title. I enjoyed Bas and Priyas story and look forward to more by this author. Bas showed really good chemistry toward Priya, but Priya seemed to be a hard nosed reporter who was searching for her brother. I still enjoyed the book and overall entertainment was three stars.

This book was a great example of cat and mouse. Priya is looking for answers to save her brother and Bas is protecting his shifter secret. There is spying and intrigue as well as passion and both of them trying to deny the attraction that they feel towards each other. You definitely look forward to the moment they both give in... and that is when the book ends, of course! Making to want more so you can see what happens next!

I read this explosive tale in installments and I must say after every time I finished one I was fiending for the next one. If I had to do it again and wait for the entire story. Would I?! Nope the installments took me on a ride I never wanted to get off. AC has done it again!!! Getting to know the shifters and what they stand for again is something I also look forward. But witnessing a sexy ALPHA shadow male, Sebastian, fall for a FIERY human female, Priya, was the shit!!!!! I'm loving the new d

Loved it all! Bas was so sexy and Priya was sassy! What's not to love about a shifter... I loved this series. It one sexy pnr! I can't wait for the next book. Yes I recommend to anyone that loves paranormal romances, especially shifters because they are so possessive and I love when they say "Mine"...(insert scream)

Shifter’s Claim is an action packed paranormal romance full of intrigue and hot steamy scenes that lean more towards erotica.
I haven’t read the first three books in the Shadow Shifter’s series but I found I was able to catch up on the gist of the main storyline that connected Priya and Sebastian’s love story to the ongoing of a bigger plot line concerning the Shadow Shifter’s.

The heroine, a gusty smart and determined reporter is blackmailed by the people holding her brother hostage to uncover and exposed the true identity of the hero's people. She's been given 60 days to do this and she vows she'll do anything to save her brothers life-even though he's a junkie and a thief-he was always there for her when she needed him most. But her plans are derailed when she meets the hero. He's aggressive, cocky and too damn rich and hansom for his own good. She knows his type. B

Shifter’s Claim is my first introduction to the Shadow Shifters series. After finishing it, I immediately ran out and purchased the first three. This action pact, romance filled, thrilling story kept me turning page after page until the very end. Even if there were no paranormal elements in the story, it would still be a first class thriller.

Shifter’s Claim is the fourth book in The Shadow Shifters series and can be read as a stand-alone. I have read Ms. Arthur’s spin-off series of novellas, Shadow Shifters: Damaged Hearts, and was excited to get the opportunity to see what she could do within a full-length novel. Suffice it to say, she did not disappoint.

Shifter’s Claim is the 4th book in The Shadow Shifters series by A.C. Arthur. It is about Bas (Sebastian), one of the shifter faction leaders and Priya, a human reporter that is trying to prove that shifters exist. One thing I liked about this story is that Priya was honest from the get-go about being a reporter after a story, though she hid the reason why. She didn’t try to hide the fact that she was a reporter and I liked her more for that. When Bas and Priya meet they have an instant and inte

Shifter's Claim is not the first in this Shadows Shifters Series, just the first for me to read. It reads very well as a stand-alone but is intriguing enough to entice me to want to read the others including the novellas in the series. I enjoyed the cool sophisticated cat shifter, Sebastian Perry. He is very Cary Grant-ish which is a unique spin on shifters. I liked it. Priya is another complex character but equally strong and independent. They worked well as adversaries to lovers.

Review featured on www.books-n-kisses.com
I read this as the installments that were released but this is the full story and I have to say I would think it would be best to read it in full. I read the installments back to back as if it was the full story so I was able to see how the breaks would be as I opened up the next part and I would have really hated having to wait.

I loved our first introductions to these characters, and Bas especially, "Bas, the smooth, cocky sonofab**** he was sometimes know as, only smiled. "No, this would be harassment," he told her a second before cupping her a** cheeks in his palms and lean forward to lick the seam of her lips." He does give his girl options which I'm sure we all appreciate, "now, I'll ask you one more time what you were doing here and you can either answer me -" he lowered his voice purposely, letting his finger gli

From feisty report Priya Drake to the sexy alpha billionaire cat Sebastian Perry. We are put into a world of blackmail, rogue shifters, faction leaders wanting to keep shifters and humans apart, to break ins, black mail, betrayals, and going against rules that were always followed.
There are gun fights, hot sex, and sweet moments. It's amazing how much goes on in the books making you crave to turn the page. Priya's being blackmailed to report a story that could change everything. Bas is trying t ...more

Bas is a multimillionaire playboy and shifter assembly Faction Leader who has lived his life by the credo that shifters must not be exposed to humans. Priya, a human reporter, once witnessed a partial shift, and is now being blackmailed to expose the truth about "cat-people" or her brother will be killed. Bas and Priya clash when Priya investigates the cat-people. She follows him to his resort in Arizona, where she's in danger of learning the truth and getting herself killed, getting caught in t

I actually liked this one quite a lot. The porn was dialed back. It's still hot. This is still in the erotic genre more than romance but at least I didn't feel like it was getting tedious. Now if I could just order a dial back on all the anal play. I respect that it is hot for some out there but it's not my personal kink. Good job introducing Jewel too. We've been getting teased with Jewel for a while now and we're finally getting her book next. We know just enough about her to want to know more

And the plot thickens...still INTRIGUED by the mysterious and DANGEROUS world of the Shadow Shifters...this was centered around the INTENSE and magnetic attraction between Sebastian and Priya...both are stubborn and DETERMINED to get what they WANT and NEED from the other no matter the cost/consequences...extremely HOT and explicit intimate encounters...and ENGAGING storyline w/entertaining and suspenseful twists/turns....COLORFUL and unforgettable cast of ever growing characters...I'm still hel

I felt a little lost a little more than half way in this book. I was loosing interest but finished it and enjoyed the finish. I felt there should have been more background reminding the reader of the previous storylines in earlier books because that's when I got lost. Just my opinion.

This one started slow for me... the characters took a little bit of time for me to get into, but once it picked up speed I really liked it. The plot was very interesting and I am glad that I kept going. Can't wait to see what happens next.

I like this series and enjoy each book. I always find when I start a new book in this series the begining just doesn't hold my interest and I have to make myself keep reading. By the time I get 1/4 or 1/3 of the way through I am hooked and loving it again.
