You know when you read something and think “yeah this is going to be the start of something grand?” This was that. Whit has some phenomenal ideas, a big imagination, and this is going to be a series to watch! Especially knowing how committed to diversity Whit is! Sci-Fi romance *needs* more of that!
Mine to Claim is a short, novella length, fast pace, fast burn novella and it was a delight! It’s not often that I get to read aliens on earth instead of humans on an alien planet and Whit gives us a fascinating background for said alien earth landing. A burning planet? Yep. Aliens in search of human mates to help repopulate said planet after a “controlled burn cycle”? Got it. An alien lycan beta finding a human cinnamon roll fella that’s vacationing in Cancun? You betcha.
It’s creative. It’s unique. It’s got that Ruby Dixon feel with a little extra spicy spice thrown in. And it’s just kind of wholesome and sweet and smutty. Georgie, for all that she was raised in an abusive pack, is so big hearted and launches headfirst into love. And Lance is an absolute softie recovering from a toxic relationship. Insta love doesn’t always work for me but it worked here because it’s just two love bugs banging and being cute.
I will say, at times we do jump around timeline wise so it made the pacing a little wonky, but Whit has something really special with this series and I cannot wait to see what amazing things she does in the following books!
