A review by sonja_ahrb
Claimed by Sarah O'Rourke

5.0

Any time I see that Sarah O'Rourke has a new book coming out, I get excited and Claimed was no different! Although, I would say I was probably more pumped than usual because it was taking place in her Passion in Paradise series and I just looooove that series. I knew that it wouldn't happen, but I was definitely not disappointed with Claimed - I positively loved it!

Claimed might be an instalove-y, safe read, but just because it was, that doesn't mean that Carolina made it easy for Aiden. Oh no, she fell for him, but she made him work for it. Caro is sassy and stubborn and she's not very trusting, but she is sweet and she has a good heart. Of course, I wanted them to end up together, but I liked seeing Caro's vulnerableness and that she made Aiden fight for her - I just liked her.

And it's a no-brainer that I loved Aiden! He's exactly my kind of hero with all he's growly-possessive-mine ways. He's protective and sexy and you never have to doubt his feelings or devotion for Caro for a second. Aiden is all in and even when everything got mucked up a little, he knew exactly what to say to make it all better. Aiden is just great and I know you'll love him like I do!

Claimed is a fast, short read and it's not as complicated or angsty as some books, but it will still tug at your heart and get your blood going. It's sexy and steamy and so full of heart and love. It was a lovely addition to the Passion in Paradise series and I can't wait for more to come!

Claimed is a standalone, it's told from Aiden and Caro's POV, and their happy ending will leave you with a smile on your face!
