Forever Claimed (Crowned and Claimed Series, Book 3)

Synopsis

Captured by my enemy and held in his captivity, I have two choices; play his games to survive or die fighting. Surrendering my body or territory to him is not an option. Determined to outlast his manipulations, I utilize every advantage no matter how treacherous. Only my enemy holds the key piece of leverage necessary to break me down to my core, leaving me questioning every move I make.

There's one thread of hope and it lies with a man sworn to protect me, and a King devoted to loving me, but my enemy is determined to destroy the bonds we've created and he has the power to do it. If I survive his treachery, I'll be returned to the arms of two men I love and that is where the most perilous stakes begin...which man will claim my heart as theirs.

Review

Wow, it is the best conclusion to a series. I loved it. I have previously enjoyed Book One and Book Two of this series and this Third Book is no exception. It is very emotional and oddly satisfying story. It made me cry, laugh, and feel all the things that the characters felt. I think that It's well-written and very entertaining read. I loved everything about it but mostly I loved how the characters reconciled and came to terms with their new situation, gradually but surely. I'm kind of sad that it has ended so soon. :( In any case, this series is a whole package, with lots of romance, action, a little mystery and quite a bit of thrill. It's a great read and I'd definitely recommend it to my fellow readers.
