Claimed by the Alphas: Part Three

Claimed #3

by Viola Rivard

Asch and Caim may have agreed to share, but neither alpha seems to want to play nice. Between Asch’s sudden possessiveness and Caim’s ever-growing list of obnoxious stipulations to their arrangement, Mila is at her wit’s end.

With the mating thrall just days away and neither alpha making any concessions, Mila has to figure out what both males really want, and how to give it to them.

Another rescue from the 10-year TBR vault!

Book three and I’m still being dragged between two Alpha wolves, and honestly… I’m not complaining. 😂

Asch and Caim continue to keep me completely invested, with Mila caught between two very different personalities and two men who are both determined to get what they want. The possessiveness, tension and constant push-and-pull make this series ridiculously easy to keep reading.

I’m still firmly in the ❤️ Obsessed category with both of them, but neither has quite earned my 🩶 Alpha rating yet. There is still room for improvement, boys. 😏

At this point, though, I’m invested in the story and these three, so obviously I’m continuing to find out where this whole situation ends up.

Another 10-year TBR rescue that absolutely earned its place off the damn shelf. 📚❤️

🏆 Hall of Fame?: ❌ No

🧳 What Stayed With Me: Being permanently caught between Asch and Caim. 😂 The push-and-pull between these two is still the biggest draw for me, and Mila is somehow managing to survive being caught between two possessive Alphas who both seem determined to get their own way. I’m invested enough that I immediately want to continue, but neither of them has quite earned that 🩶 Alpha status from me yet. Room for improvement, boys. 😏

🌍 Passport Classification
🎢 Wild Ride
This series is basically one long tug-of-war between two Alpha wolves, and Mila is standing directly in the middle of it. 😂

It's getting a bit better once you've firmly suspended your beliefs. Once that's done you can safely lust after the pair of hot as hell alphas and imagine what your life might be like being fawned and pawed over and bearing cute as hell pups.

*3 stars don't mean this was poorly written, it's just that as a 60 page novella it's incomplete and I can't rate it as I would a full novel.

[Tash]

Seriously? These three books could've easily been made into 1 book. And now that I've come to the end of this one, I have to wait around for book 4, ugh...

[Maryjoe]

Awsome

Very good. Liked the men a lot. Sexy werewolves. Hopefully she choses well. Cyan seems to love her more than he admits.

**Important. This is the third book in a serial, and it must be read in sequence to fully understand what is going on. This book is not designed for stand-alone reading.***

This hot and exciting serial continues. Bought in as a pack mate, Mila has managed the impossible; to get both Alphas of the Lazarus Pack to claim her as their mate.

Now it’s all about making it work for real, that means giving them both what they want and making sure there’s still something of herself left at the end of it.

There's something in this serial which makes you want more. Every instalment leads so flawlessly onto the next. The characters are vivid and likeable, and it's your interest in them which will keep you coming back more than the plot and concept, which is quite simple, and maybe even a semi-recognisable blueprint from similar stories in this genre.

I’m still not happy that I have to buy each new instalment of this story individually, which will eventually mount up to more than it’s worth. However, at the stage the author’s work has got me so engaged I’m still willing.

This was the funniest in the series so far. Caim and his "...and that is something I will not negotiate on" statements were hilarious. He is definitely a true alpha in every sense of the word. But leave it up to a sassy 'Human', as he liked to call Mila, to give him a piece of her mind every chance she got.

It isn't always easy to make a threesome work and when it's part of your daily life then sometimes frustrations run high. This is the book where they start getting a little more involved and she begins to get a little more stressed about the reason she's there in the first place. To be a mate and get pregnant, and oh boy do they both want to get her pregnant...but this book ends with the want and not the deed.

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!

The cover is very steamy :) I definitely like it :)

This story I really liked it. Mila is learning how to manage the boys so to speak thanks to Lotus, but how long will it last. This story was mostly trio drama…lol and not much else. I can feel tension or something building though, and I can’t wait to read the next part where things sound like it might change yet again :)

Viola’s world is amazing and I want to learn more :) I still want to slap Caim on occasion, but he is definitely growing on me :)

I recommend this series to my shifter lovin’ friends and don’t let the fact that it is a serial run you off because it is all out, so no waiting for the next part or buy the complete bundle :)

Mila, Asch and Caim have all agreed to share but it's not running smoothly, Mila feels like she's caught in the middle while the other two argue it out and she's had enough.
While she's fed up with her men she's also struggling to settle and feels lonely at times, did she have any idea what she was taking on?
Mila needs to find away for them all to get along and quickly because the mating thrall is only days away.
I'm enjoying this series and I have to say while Asch is wonderful and everything a woman could want I love Caim, not only is he handsome, strong and all that but he's also stubborn and cute and when examples of his grievances are listed all followed by "I am not willing to negotiate on this" I could just hug him.

[Sookie Sabre]

The plot thickens here with the third installment of Viola Rivard's Claimed series. During this episode, Mila is forced to consider the positives and negatives of each of her lovers, whilst at the same time being weighed up by her own competition. Her mind seems to say she wants Asch, but her body seems to crave Caim more. Caim himself proves to be not only a formidable opponent (is that the right word?) in bed, but also intellectually as he puts Mila in her place with her judgements about his own feelings. I don't know what's coming next, but I am thoroughly hooked on this series. I do hope Asch can provide Caim with a bit more challenge though.

[Stacey]

Caim and Asch has come to terms of Mila's being with the pack and they both take her as their Mate .. as well as the need to not leave the den ... but the question is when the Thrall begins will they impregnate her or will she not and will they not fight when the Thrall begins ... Mila has two women wanting to be there when she does have pups with either alpha .. Brae and Rosie whom has one or both her alpha mates and Lotus Mila feels a need to claim both alphas since lotus favors both men and feels challenged by her will these two get along for the sake of the pack and her alpha mates ... find out by buying , reading and reviewing this book and the rest of this series

[grumpyoldbird]

I absolutely love this story. I picked the first in the series as a freebie on Amazon, well I am an Amazon Kindle Freebie Whore. As soon as I finished reading, I had to buy and read the rest of the series immediately. I'm just gutted I've still got to wait for the last 2 novellas to be released.

This story covers two of my favourite genres, shifters and bbw, and was a really interesting take on both genres. The imagery was wonderful and the characters were very well developed.

This would have been a 5 star rating, however there were a number of typos and grammar errors.

[Suka Babe]

I read all 3 short stories in one sitting. Very quick reads.

I agree with every other reviewer. The author should have made this one book not 3 novellas. A novella to me are teasers with an ending.

I think it should be said also that a couple of the secondary characters warant a story of their own. Lotus and Brae.


Write a decent sized story and I'll read it.

[The Glassed And The Furious]

The story is becoming a bit too repetitive. Just like the second book this one is all about their sex and the possessiveness the two alphas feel. It's not that I didn't enjoy the read b ut it was nothing new and again, I finished in about haf an hour.
Maybe part 4 will bring a new aspect to the story, otherwise it will become too much of the same and the series will lose its appeal.

[Tracy O’Sing]

Loving these books and can't wait to get started on Part 4... Another Hot and thrilling read.
This book we see a struggle for control as both Asch and Caim want what's best for the Lazarus Pack but still want more of a claim on Mila!
Looking forward to the Thrall. I think things are going to get very interesting......

[Mandy Saial]

I really liked this part the best so far ,Caim and Asch are fighting over Mila , female pack members are back that have intimate ties with both alpha's and it's making Mila jealous because she is still not sure if Caim could ever have feelings for her other than lust.On to part 4

[Brittany]

I was so happy when I realized that part three at came out that I decided to read parts 1 and 2 again. I just remembered why I loved them so much and this installment did not disappoint. It is just the right amount of steamy and story to keep me occupied. I cannot wait to start part 4.

[C.J.]

The relationship and understanding between them evolved more through this part of the story. I was glad as I was afraid her relationship with C was becoming repetitive and stagnant, luckily that is no longer the case. Looking forward to the thrall.

[Kimberly Walden]

Part of Kindle Unlimited. Part 3 of 7 in series. She went willingly to become the mate of an Alpha. Let's just say there are 2 HOT alphas that are totally different- she has them both and both want to mate her, and do. 4star read for me.

[Elizabeth]

More!

Another amazing installment still leaves me craving more! I can't wait for the next section to come out! Still a must read.

[Larissa]

I liked this installment better than the first two. I'm not especially fond of short installments like this but the first two got me interested..so I guess I'll keep paying...

[Ann-Marie]

I want more than these little chunks of the story!! I am enjoying it though.

[Kathy Harrington]

The continuation goes on. Not everyone likes having her there and the 2 people who are her 'friends' can't stand each other. Milan does get help from one she would not have expected it from.

[Stephanie]

This was just a bit better than the first two. I actually feel cheated as these three 'book' should have been one. Way too short!

[Michelle]

Claimed by the alphas

coming together and understanding everyone's needs is important thing to learn. these three are slowly learning this. trusting someone is a big step

[Dena]

We see they are trying to come together. But intensions are something we are all capable of but following through is where the hard work begins.

[A.M.]

Short but HOT!! Looking forward to part 4!!

[Alex Owens]

Love, love, love this series! Onward to the next book!

[Meiwilli]

Hottest...It may be time to make a choice and let them fight it out! This triangle is getting out of control quickly! On to Claimed #4! On my Were Scale of Hotness...4 stars.

[Roxy the Fury]

This one felt far shorter than the last two and much less steamier. I was disappointed. It was more contemplating than any action. Wth?

[Jatana Fleming]

As we see Mila, Asch and Caim start on their new adventure together will things work? Will she be able to convince the alphas to do it her way. On to book four.
