Claim Volume Three: The Conclusion of the Claim Serials.
Loren’s past relationship might not be as over as she thought. Spending time with Jordan to see if the feelings she once had were still there may have backfired. Caught between the man she gave her heart to and the one she wants to steal it away, Loren has to make a decision; does she choose the man that’s hurt her once or the man she knows she should be with?
If only she were the only one to have to decide. Nolan’s past, the first girl he ever loved, needs him now more than ever. Does he sacrifice his own happiness for such a vital part of his past or choose the selfish route for once in his life?
Nobody ever said you can only love one person, but the cold hard truth is you’ll always love one of them more.
Relationships will be tested. Decisions will be made. Hearts will be broken.

The conclusion
I've enjoyed this series and liked the characters but while its a good read and it ultimately went the only way it could really unfortunately for me it wasn't the way I wanted. I'm not arguing that this ending isn't the smart choice because it is, it works out best and it's the one which makes sense but it's still not the one I wanted.
Loren may have thought she'd put her husband Jordan behind her but he's back in her life with explanations and regrets and he desperately wants her back as his wife and while Loren loves Jordan she also has very strong feelings for Nathan and she doesn't know which one to choose, she'd never survive if Jordan let her down again and Nathan seems just about perfect and certainly the safe choice.
Jordan realises he made a mess of things and all he wants is another chance.
Nathan didn't think he'd love again but the attraction he feels for Loren is building but then Wendy is back on the scene and she was his first love.
Wendy is dying and life is so unfair but she'll grab with both hands any time she can get with Nathan.
So the question is will Loren give Jordan his second chance or will she explore the developing feelings she has for Nathan, will Nathan grab a second chance of love with Loren or will he stick by his first love Wendy even though she's dying.
The reviews I've read for this book are good, really good and while it's an interesting read, for me it's my least favourite of the three and maybe that's unfair because it's not a bad or a weak book the characters all handle themselves incredibly well, they're mature and reasonable and it's well written.
Having thought about this overnight I think I may have felt differently if this had been all one book instead of three separate short instalments it's hard to give details without spoiling the book and I don't want to do a spoiler review.

This is a very sweet conclusion to the serial. I love the dream sequence. Thank you, Ashley, for that! I was a little disappointed in the direction I could feel the story moving from the beginning. I just knew the wrong guy was going to be chosen; but in the end, I believe everything played out as it should have. I also need to throw out that I appreciate the maturity of the characters. Even though it's a love triangle, no one was devious or did anything unforgivable to the reader. Great epilogue. I liked all three parts and recommend them to anyone that likes down-to-earth, good people.

This is such an easy series to read, Loren is a sweet girl who just wants to be happy again. Her last relationship left her feeling distraught but she now feels like it's time to move on. She decides to try the world of online dating. There are a series of mishaps but then she meets Mr Perfect.
"Wow," I mutter, smiling slightly. He's amazing. And we can be amazing together." - Loren
Nolan is gorgeous and he sings in a band. They spend the most perfect night out together and as she sits there soaking up the afterglow of date perfection someone from her past comes knocking on her door and pops her happy bubble!
Just when she feels like her life is getting back on track she now has two men vying for her attention and is faced with a huge choice. Take a leap with a man that is exciting and new or someone from her past who she kind of feels she should give a second chance to?
Jordan has his faults but he is deeply in love with Loren and desperate to win her heart back. Has he ever lost it though? The more time they spend together the more confusing Loren's life seems to get.
Nolan is one of the most honorable men I have had the pleasure of reading about. He is sweet and genuinely cares for Loren. He has a past that comes to the fore also in this story. He knows that to move forward he has to go back and get closure from his past. He takes his responsibilities seriously and there is this beautiful moment that will have you reaching for tissues. Like, a serious sobfest.
There will be tears and heartbreak but I promise you will finish with that lovely sense of contentment. This series has a happy ever after ending but it may not be what you expected, however it is just perfect.

ARC provided by the author because she is AWESOME and wanted an honest review
Review for Nerdy Book Freak
So I have been unsure about how I have wanted Claim to end this story has pulled my heart back and forth between NolanandLoren or JordanandLoren (although I secretly want he to choose Joel because nerds are the best ;) lol). This ending will not be what to expect you will be one the edge of you seat wondering who the Heck is she going to pick? Both guys are great Jordan is kinda growing on me, since the first volume I have been completely #TeamNolan because if you have read the first two volumes continue if not stop reading this review anyways Jordan left her so in my mind he was a jerk and not worth her time and Nolan was perfect! But when he told her why he left I have to admit I kinda of understood his reason. It was still wrong but people make mistakes and he honestly wanted to make it right. Still I was torn I really like Nolan and I didn't want him to be alone but in true Ashley form she has a twist and that is where I will stop because I don't want to spoil it for you. Just know that the book is AMAZING and I couldn't be happier with how it ended. But Ashley Suzanne you need to write me Joel's story yes I'm putting it out there I need Joel to have an HEA and just so everyone knows #JoelLovesLacy #TeamJoel #NerdsRock #JoelNeedsAHea
Seriously though read this book it is AMAZING!

I have been waiting for this book since the stunning ending to Volume 2. I had no idea where the story was headed or who was going to end up together in the end. I just had to know what would happen next between Nolan and Loren and Jordan.
Volume three delivered more than I thought it would. I was so invested in the characters that I read this all in one setting and still wanted more when all was said and done. I really enjoyed reading all three POV's. While that may seem like it would be confusing, it wasn't at all. It was very clear whose perspective the story was coming from. And this only enhanced the reasoning for the actions.
I loved how Jordan was ready to battle for his wife and marriage. Even when Loren was so torn, he wasn't going down without the fight of his life. Loren was rightfully conflicted- how do you choose between two fantastic men? Both guys had something that she wanted but only one was what she needed. And Nolan was perfectly him, sweet, caring and honest. His interactions with Wendy just about broke my heart. That part of the storyline was unexpected and handled with the grace and delicacy that it warranted.
The conclusion to this series was well rounded and left no question unanswered. The ending was fitting and well suited to everyone's character. I did want just a tad more of what happened between Jordan and Loren but was still satisfied.

This was the perfect ending to Loren, Noah, and Jordan's story. I couldn't have asked for a better way to finish this story. Ashley Suzanne did an absolutely wonderful job of ending this amazing series.
Like true Ashley Suzanne form, you will be taken on twists and turns in this passionate conclusion to the Claim Serials, and I LOVED IT!
Loren is still torn between Jordan and Noah, and a decision is made in this book. If this book is a HEA all depends on who you were rooting for her to end up with. Trust me, I was happy with the ending! Claim Volume 3 not only has twists and turns, but is full of emotion, and some hot sexy scenes. I had tears in my eyes during one part, and was having to fan myself in another.
To say that Loren has a tough decision to make is an understatement, I knew who I wanted her with, but that didn't stop me from hoping that maybe the other guy would win too. I loved both of these men. Yes, Jordan did something awful, but he truly loves Loren and is willing to do anything to get her back. Noah, he's sweet, caring, and on paper the perfect man for any girl.
This is the perfect ending to their story, and my favorite out of the entire set! I highly recommend these books if you haven't picked them up yet. They are hot, steamy, and full of twists and turns! Ashley Suzanne has outdone herself, yet again!

I had been waiting for this final installment to come out. The reason for my 4 star review is mainly because it left me still wanting more. I was still torn on who I wanted Loren to end up with.
I loved how Jordan wanted to fight for his wife. Their relationship pulled you in and made you want to be a fan. But there was still that attraction to Nolan.
Of course Nolan was going to be the stand up man and stick with his wife. But why did they get divorced? What truly brought him back to her if not the illness? Her being sick hit a little too close to home for me so that part of the story was difficult to read. For a truly HEA I understand why it had to end the way it did but I wanted to know what else was happening. Just maybe a little too rushed. I want more Ashley! ❤️

I dont want this to end this cant be the last book but it is. I was up all night from this book as just thinking about it. Nolan and Jordan I cant get enough of these two men. They both have traits about them to love the way they fight for what they want but also knowing doing the right thing. I have to say its hard to get me in good tears and Ashely did that with this, they were rolling down my face and couldnt stop them. Over all its just a perfect story of Loren having to decided what guy is worth it and the struggles if she is doing right thing or not. Perfect ending couldnt have been happier.

Wow, this is another amazing book by this very talented author. Once you start reading you will not be able to put this book down. IT moved along at a great pace, has characters that you cannot help but fall in love with and a story that will grab you from the very beginning. This is a must read, you will not be sorry that you did.

Perfect ending!! I was so torn between Loren, Nolan and Jordan at the end of Volume 2. I thought going into this story I knew how I wanted it to end. Yet again Ashley changed my POV. This final volume tied the story up in a way that everyone had their HEA.

Vol. I, II en III als één boek gelezen. Nice read; mooie lovestory... alleen wat mij betreft te soft en te zoet. Maar boeiend genoeg om alle delen te lezen, mede omdat ieder deel maar net 100 blz was. Leuk luchtig tussendoortje.

Claim Volume 3 was an amazing read! I loved this serial series and I must admit I'm sad to see it end. Once again great writing from Ashley Suzanne. I'm still #TeamNolan but Jordan was definitely redeemed in this volume. I loved the ending , it was perfect.

I really liked where this book ended!
Loren is having a difficult time, because her husband Jordan, who has been gone for a year decided to show back up into her life and "claim" her! He has his reasons why he left and to be quite honest it was to protect her! In the meantime, she has feelings for Nolan who she talked to first on a dating site, but met as a bar where his band was playing. The last book left me with "what just happened now"? So I'm confused because I want to KNOW WHO Loren choooses??? But its' not just about Loren either, we find out what is going on with Nolan as well.
It all comes together in the end, I really liked where it ended up and wondered how or which way it was going. I think that is was the perfect way to do it.

not a bad ending.
A,though Nolan got his HEA, it wasn't your traditional romance novel HEA. I would have liked to have had them end on a really high note. And the series seemed focused on Loren, so it was a bit odd to have the epilogue end with Nolan...maybe not odd. I was just surprised. It was still a really good series.
