All I have to say is Sara is BACK!! I know you all realize how much I absolutely LOVE the Amoveos. So I don't have to tell you how excited I am that Unclaimed is here!! But I am so gonna anyway!

Author Sara Humphreys brings us a different slant on shifters and for that I am eternally grateful. Unique vision is always something to be treasured. Unclaimed is Sara's 6th book in her Amoveo series and let me tell you, there were no dropped expectations here! This book was most excellent.

Author Sara Humphreys brings us a different slant on shifters and for that I am eternally grateful. Unique vision is always something to be treasured. Unclaimed is Sara's 6th book in her Amoveo series and let me tell you, there were no dropped expectations here! This book was most excellent.

Tatiana Winters is a half breed Amoveo, from the Timber wolf Clan. She has always known not being a pure bred Amoveo was dangerous. But just recently she has discovered how dangerous. When her sister Layla discovered her mate, in Untamed, Tatiana was brought to an entire new reality. Not only was she half shifter but she had a destined mate out there. Honestly, ever hear of free choice? Tatiana was determined to never be forced to mate with some man who didn't know anything about her. She did everything she could to escape the Amoveo life. Until one day the King calls (ok, he sent her sister but same difference) and asks if she, a veterinarian could possibly come to the ranch. Their prized horses are dying and no one knows why.

Dominic Trejada knows his duty.. as the leader of the Guardians he has sacrificed plenty for his people. First as years in the human military and then discovering that his beloved younger sister is in fact a purist. And a traitor and now they are on opposite sides and stand alone. While in dreamscape he knows his mate is near but she seems to be in hiding, never quite connecting. And that totally confuses Dominic.. but that's still something he can handle, he's not quite 30 so his powers are still intact. He has much more pressing matters to attend to.. The purists and the Cadeos (humans who want to destroy the Amoveo) are making his job just that much more interesting . and now there's the horses and the king is bringing in an outsider..

Can you say fireworks? Because rockets went off when these two met.. both knew who the other was and both had reasons to question things. Tatiana was a bit overkill on her desire to be "free" and make her own choices.. but it worked. There wasn't that brashness that often comes when a female character keeps blathering on and on about how she is her own woman.. She does get a major slap down though and I find I loved that... She was fighting destiny and sometimes, destiny just has to slap back.

There is so much going on in this book and yes fans, we get our Steven Fix.. although, I think Sara has a supreme case of Kenyonitis (you know the more she loves a character the more torture he has to endure). Yes, peoples, Steven has more heartbreak to deal with but there is a promise of a happy ending, maybe *grins*.

An action packed book where the subplots have subplots and yet once again Sara manages to pull it all together into a delightful read! Another 5+ star extravaganza from Sara

I am one of Sara's Angels. I like her books. She writes a series about the Amoveo-a specialized group of Shifters. There are the Purists who think they are the best. Then there are regular Amoveos and the Hybrids,a human/hybrid cross. The Purists want to destroy the Hybrids. Dominic is almost 30 and unmated. He will lose his abilities and become a human unless he finds his mate. Tatiana is a Hybrid who was shunned by the Amoveo when her parents died. She wants no part of their world. Guess who i ...more

I love this series. If you have read her before make sure you read this. If you haven't make sure you start at book one Unleashed. Don't forget to get the spin off, Tall dark and vampire, after Undone. Her books will hook you in and keep you reading. Whenever I pick one up I always make sure I have a couple hours to spare because once I start I can't stop and I just keep reading until its over and am always disappointed, not because the book was bad, instead because it was that good that I wish ...more

by Sara Humphreys is book 5 in The Amoveo Legend series. I started this book around midnight after work one evening. Let me say that well I could not put it down. Although with Sara's books this usually happens to me. This is the story of Tatiana Winters, she is from the Timber wolf clan. She wants no part of the Amoveo world, she does not want to find her fated mate. She wants someone to love her for her, not want her just because she is their fated mate. Tatiana is an awesome verterinarian, sh ...more

OMG! This is the 1st book in Sara Humphreys' The Amoveo Legend series that I have read and it won't be the last! It is actually book #5 in that series, but I had no trouble picking up the story right away.... so it can easily be read as a stand-alone. Warning: One you read it, you'll be addicted and HAVE to read the ones that came before. I have read other books by Sara and enjoyed them all... so when I had a chance to read this one, I jumped at it!

Tatiana Winters is a talented veterinarian. Sh ...more

Just when you think Sara Humphreys can not get any better you get to read this book! I could not put it down. It was hot, steamy, and just awesome. I was glued to the story from start to finish. I loved how the romance between Tatiana and Dominic unfolded. Definitely a must read!

The Amoveo Legend #5

I’m never going to get tired of this series, or the fast paced action that always follows the characters. By now, we all know how it’s going to go, but it’s the getting there that keeps me turning page after page late into the night every time. This book was no different, and I quickly devoured it from start to finish. Tatiana is such a strong girl, and any Amoveo man was really going to have his hands full convincing her they aren’t all Neanderthals, ...more

Sara Humphreys' Amoveo romance series weaves multiple tales of one's true mate within a world of shape shifting intrigue.

This is the story of Tatiana and Dominic. While you can read this series as separate books, it really helps to read them in order. Nuances in the characters' back stories for the book 'Unclaimed' are better felt through reading the whole series.

For newbies: the Amoveo are a species with clans of shapeshifters. The clans are wild animals - Big Cats, Bears, Canines, Birds of Pre Sara Humphreys' Amoveo romance series weaves multiple tales of one's true mate within a world of shape shifting intrigue.

This is the story of Tatiana and Dominic. While you can read this series as separate books, it really helps to read them in order. Nuances in the characters' back stories for the book 'Unclaimed' are better felt through reading the whole series.

For newbies: the Amoveo are a species with clans of shapeshifters. The clans are wild animals - Big Cats, Bears, Canines, Birds of Prey. Specifically, Lions, Tigers, Bears, Wolves, Coyotes, Eagles, Falcons... The males are totally alpha and the women usually have an independent streak a mile wide. Throw in the story arc of hybrids (mix of human and Amoveo), and you have the perfect storm of attraction, passion and denial. Additionally, there are Amoveo factions: those who accept mating with hybrids or humans, and those who mean to keep the Amoveo species 'pure'. Another throw in - Caedo: hey, what human wouldn't be jealous if they were attracted to a gorgeous Amoveo woman but found they couldn't have her? But the knee jerk reaction by the Caedo is to form a family vendetta passed down through the ages. There's more but I digress.

Dominic is an Amoveo guardian. He protects the Amoveo from discovery, personal injury and death - specifically assigned to the Amoveo prince at the prince's home - a ranch in the expanse of the western US state of Montana. He's at a point in his life where his powers are waning as he lacks the connection to his one true mate.

Tatiana is a veterinarian, and a hybrid Amoveo. Her sister, Layla, asks if she can check out a mysterious illness effecting the horses on the Prince's ranch. As a telepath, Tatiana is sensitive to animal emotions and connects with the horses much better than she connects to her one and only mate, Dominic. When they meet, the attraction between Tatiana & Dominic is smoldering and undeniable, though.

The tension in the story revolves around Purists penetrating the security of the Amoveo stronghold, and the give and take of Tatiana and Dominic's story. With all romances, there is the HEA. However, there is one character in the series, Steven, who's had more than his fair share of bad luck. In one of my favorite books in this series, 'Untouched,' Steven is trapped in the form of his animal, a coyote, and placed in a preserve - poor gorgeous guy! Now, at the end of 'Unclaimed,' we readers are given a preview of Steven's story.

I like the series - Sara brings a wonderful imagination to this story line. And, this is her baby. She does it well. While this isn't my favorite book of the series, it's a good read. (I highly recommend 'Untouched' - I love Kerry and Dante's story, and New Orleans; there were very touching moments in that book) ...more

Unclaimed by Sara Humphreys

Sara is a true storyteller! I only discovered her books a few months ago and already I can say I will read anything she writes! I love her way of building a whole new world of Shapeshifters. I love books dealing with Shapeshifters and other paranormals. They normally have the same general storyline. But not Sara’s. From the minute I started the book until the end I was hooked. I could not put it down. Truth be told I did not try very hard. I laughed and I cried. It is ...more
