Claim Me (Capture Me Book 3)

OMG!! Sheer Brilliance!!
“Claim Me” did not disappoint! I was held by the ever loving juggler.
Gripping onto my ipad! I even caught myself yelling a few times! WTF???
Or That can't be happening! The "No" screams are the worst!
Yes Anna Zaires made me look like a maniac lunatic for a day!
It was so worth every heart palpitations and loss of sleep! Fricken Awesome Ness!!

"The jaguar may play with the kitten, and even love said kitten, but he’ll always be a jaguar."

Oh BOY! What a fantastic conclusion to Lucas and Yulia's story!! All I can say is WOW, I LOVED it!! I loved the nail biting suspense, the heart pumping sex scenes, and getting lost in the undeniable world that is Lucas and Yulia!

Bravo Anna!!! Another AMAZING trilogy!!

“Your loyalty, your bravery, your warmth—it was everything I never knew I needed. Before you came into my life, I didn’t have anyone, didn’t care about anyone, and I was fine that way. But when I met you…” He inhales. “It was like I saw the sun for the first time. You made my world so much brighter, so much fuller…”

Great beginning, ending, and epilogue but this book seemed to drag in the middle. I very nearly skimmed at one point. I can really see how Yulia would get tired of being in Lucas' house all day because I found myself getting bored with her trapped there too. Finally picks up toward the end with more action. Despite those misgivings, I really did like Yulia and Lucas and it was good to get to know Misha as well.

Im...disappointed in this book/series. This entire series from the start had me feeling very frustrated because i felt that it dragged on and on. This book i thought was going to be the one that made me fall in love with the series and it did up until the ending fight. I like the dramatic twist of yulias brother getting shot to save her and lucas but i think it would've been even better if the brother ended up dying. I really loved the brothers character and how he grew along the way so i feel that it would've been a really good tear jerker if he ended up dying after his heroic attempts. That would've been the thing to make me love this series. You were almost there but had to let the brother live instead. I liked the dramatic tension from the other series with nora and julian. This book, this entire series i felt was lacking alot of the dramatic tension. Other than that, i thought it was OK.

I really thought Lucas and Yulia's story would be better.
As good as Julian and Nora. And Mia and Korum.
Disappointed in Anna Zaires work on this book is putting it mildly.

I did enjoy the Trilogy don't get me wrong..but it was lacking. Not overly dark..
I guess it was okay.
Hopefully the next books will turn out better.
And hopefully Peter and Rosa get a story.
And Julian and Nora get a small continuation.

Another book to Yulia and Lucas seriously wouldn't hurt either.

Absolutely loved this book.. this was a story that followed on from the twist me trilogy. Lucas went in search of the woman who betrayed him and almost got him killed. Great story line hard to follow now I need to find a book that can capture me and take me away again thanks Anna x

I loved Lucas' and Yulia 's story. I enjoyed reading the entire series and now that all three books are out, I'll start from the beginning and read the series straight through. I appreciated the epilogue with Julian and Nora.

Saving the best for last. Fast paced and very erotic storyline. Hoping that You will be able to find more inspiration on these characters to write more of their story. Looking forward to the next book in this series. Thank You

Great series, not disappointed at all. I was lucky to start reading the series when the 3rd book was almost out. Will I read it again ? YES
will I recommend it ? Yes
Love the author and her books

Loved, just loved the first two books, and like many others, I waited forever for Book 3, just imagined how it would be; how he would find Yulia again. I have to say, with all the sickness and cooking I felt a little disappointed. Sorry :(

I’ve been looking forward so much to this final book in the “Capture Me” trilogy that a tiny part of me was worried it couldn’t possibly live up to expectations. I should have known better! Anna Zaires is an amazingly talented and dedicated author who never lets readers down. Yulia and Lucas’s relationship--intense and super sexy from the beginning--soars to unparalleled heights in “Claim Me” as these two remarkable people confront the forces seeking to destroy them. There are no easy answers for them, something I really appreciate as a reader who wants more complex, believable characters. But they persevere, strengthening one another in the process, and ultimately reach the truly satisfying ending they deserve. Except it isn’t really the ending! We get a bonus look in the delightful and very touching epilogue that also gives us a glimpse into the futures of Nora and Julian, the main characters in Anna Zaires’ related “Twist Me” series.
Make no mistake, this isn’t remotely a sweet, easy-going romance. If it was chili, it would be off the Scoville Scale. Super hot, pulse pounding, it’s not for the faint of heart. But for those who want a story that--pardon the cliché--really can’t be put down, here it is. Huge thanks to Anna Zaires for coming through so spectacularly. And now the wait begins for her next book. Whatever it is, I’ll be in line for it!

4.5 "True Love or Obsession?" Stars for the story and narration!

What a fitting conclusion to another captivating, captor romance! As truths are finally revealed hard decisions must be made. Can a relationship between a dominant captor ever evolve to a true HEA? Or is the Dom/Sub role forever tied to obsession without more?

Book 3 picks up where book 2 leaves off. Yulia has run away fearing for the life of her brother. To protect him she decides to come clean to her former handlers. However, her reunion is anything but happy when she discovers several secrets they have been withholding from her.

Lucas meanwhile can't let Yulia go and resolves to find her. When he does, he finally discovers the truth. But will he come to her and her brother's aid? Moreover, can Lucas keep Yulia safe from the one man who can destroy them both and who will never forget Yulia's betrayal (his boss, Julian)?

Even if he can capture her again physically, will Yulia ever decide to stay willingly? Is she just Lucas' obsession or more? Is a man who has been through what Lucas has been through even capable of more?

From the heat level to the plot development, Claim Me definitely had me panting from start to end. What a way to end it and for those fans of the Twist Me Series there is even a great Nora and Julian Epilogue at the end!

The narration was fab as always with remarkable consistency between characters voices both from the Twist Me Series and Capture Me Series. Shirl Rae and Robert Scarlatto really make you feel both the erotic energy and angst of this story making this a great series to experience in audio format.

All in all, the Capture Me Series is a must listen to romance for gray romance fans!

Thank you so very much Between the Sheets Promotions for sending me a copy of Claim Me! I'm very honored and grateful!! :)

After finishing Bind Me i had to pick this one up immediately! Lucas and Yulia's story has been one heck of ride and i could not wait to continue on with their story! The ending in the last book left me pretty much with my jaw dropped on the floor. I wasn't sure what exactly to expect and i crossed my fingers that everything would turn out alright for both main characters. I absolutely loved that this installment was longer because i didn't want this story to end! Things are a lot more intense and deadly this go around. Danger was seemingly always right around the corner whether it be from enemy or friend. If you think you know how things will end you don't and that's exactly why Claim Me is my favorite book out of all three! I look forward to reading more of Ms.Zaires work in the near future!

Yulia Tzakova is free in many ways yet she isn't mentally. Having her demons constantly in the forefront of her mind she can't seem to shake her bone-chilling memories at times to deal with the present. Some of the things she had to face broke my heart and i couldn't help but want be along side her to fight. In my opinion she was more of a kick-butt heroine in this installment and caring side was shown throughout. I hoped that in the end she would find her happiness.

Lucas Kent is a man on a mission and he isn't stopping until he has Yulia back in his arms. He was more lethal and determined to chase after the woman who crept into his heart. Even though he was still a bit cruel in some ways he did redeem himself in my opinion. I liked that even though he ticked me off to no end during certain points i began to like him even more. I was so glad that he became more open. I hoped that after everything he would live a better love-filled life.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a read that will break your heart and leave you content in the end. I hate to part with these characters and this story but i'm looking forward to re-reading all three books in the future! What a fantastic conclusion! If you haven't already One-Clicked this book, What are you waiting for? Buy it Today if you've read the first two if not purchase all three and see what you've been missing! I hope you love and enjoy this book as well as the others as much as i did! 5 Stars all around!! :)

The final book of Capture me trilogy is bloody fantastic!!! I've read the book in one day and believe me that was a huge mistake, because now all that I can think about is when's the next book coming out?!!! I want more!!! The plot s just amazing, you get action, betrayal, love and so much more!!! Who knows, maybe we'll get more of Rosa's story, since there was a little hint in Claim Me that could have the potential to become the new plotline. Guess we'll wait and see. :)

I love the previous two books and Claim Me is no exception to how great Anna's storytelling is. Lucas and Yulia have to overcome so much, it really broke my heart. But at least the huge misunderstanding between them gets resolved, thankfully quite quick, and I couldn't be happier about how their story unfolded.

Yuila is definitely one of my favourite characters in this story. She has so much passion for the ones she loves and she would really do anything, even risk her life, to protect them. In the end, that's exactly what happens. She goes from one prison to another. But this time this is a real cruel and terrifying prison where there are no soft words or heated touches that make her forget her imprisonment. Only terror and fear rule her new word. What she believed to be true for so many years turns out to be a big lie that almost shatters her. All her life she was dedicated to only one person, that is her brother and now the sad truth is, he doesn't even know what to make out of her, the stranger that says to be his long lost sister.

Now, as far as Lucas goes, man he really grew on me. At first he was full of rage, jealousy and betrayal but now he's turned into someone Yulia can actually rely on. He learned to see past the first impressions and started to follow his heart and not only is brain. I loved his POV and how he stood up to Julian. I admit, Julian will always be my Nr. one but Lucas comes very close. Also, in all that heavy atmosphere he and Yulia found space to have fun and time to really get to know and to trust each other.

All in all, I have a new addition to my fav shelf and I seriously can't wait for the next Anna Zaires book!!! :)

Wow I just finished Claim Me. What a great conclusion of Lucas and Yulia's story!
This is third book in Capture Me series, so there are two books before this one, if you didn't read them you should.
This book continues with Yulia's escape, then Lucas finding her and bringing her back and then it goes into details and this is where we get answers that we were looking for. I don't want to give you any spoilers, but Anna will go through everything and explain what happened, where, when, how, why. You will get more of Rosa as well as Julian and Nora. You will see how they deal with Yulia being on the compound and being with Lucas. Also on the end of the book there is one last chapter looking in the future of Julian and Nora! You will see scene that everyone was curious about.
Throughout the book there is a lots of thing happening. Anna put us through as much ups and downs as one can take.
Although Lucas is dangerous, bad boy, you will get to see more of his soft side as well. He is definitely not as dark as Julian, which I personally enjoyed a lot. Anna actually made me change my mind and fall in love with Lucas and Yulia. They chemistry is off the chain, crazy! I love it! Lots of hot and steamy scenes as these two can't keep their hands off each other.
I'll say it again. I think this is great conclusion to Lucas and Yulia's story, storyline is great, couple is hot. Anna's writing is superb as always. She keeps you on your toes from beginning to the end, there is no boring moment. And then just when you think you "got it" she trows something in that you did not expect.
This is excellent book, excellent series and I am highly recommending it.
Enjoy!t

Well what can i say about this final instalment of Yuila and Lucas story?
Wow just wow.
The moment I got this it was on my reader and open. Everything else stopped dead. No way was I even sleeping till I'd finished this. I couldn't put this down and read well into the early morning. Thankfully I didn't have to get my son up for school today. Because if i had he wasn't going to make it.

I could tell you everything I loved about this but then I would pretty much ruin it for you by telling you everything all about it, as I just wouldn't be able to leave anything out.
It picks up from where book 2 left off and its non stop from the get go. There is not a single dull moment.

Lucas relentlessly hunts down Yuila and eventually finds her being held captive. Rescuing her from her cell he takes her back to the compound and proceeds to make sure she can never escape him again.
Yuila is his.
His obsession.
His to keep.
His to protect.
His to use as he sees fit.

Yuila will do anything to protect her brother. Even if that means remaining Lucas's captive and the object of his lust. She loves Lucas but knows life in the compound will never work out for either of them.
To many people hate her for what she did. If anything ever happens to Lucas, it will only a matter of time before one of them comes after her.

I loved the bonus story at the end to. I want to read them all again now!

Intriguingly dark, and very explosive. A fantastic read that gripped me from page one. Claim Me was a fabulous ending to an amazing series that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Along with the incredibly hot chemistry between Lucas and Yulia, there was a lot of action, suspense, drama, betrayal and romance in this book, some of which I didn't expected. Well, just remember that this my personal point of view when it comes to betrayal and drama.

It was nice to see a different side of Yulia, and the interaction with her brother and some of the people in Julian's state. I really enjoyed seeing more characters in this book grow closer together and giving this great story some type of humor. I really loved the direction Anna took with this book, not everything is perfect in this world, right? In my honest opinion things turned crazy between Lucas and Julian, and in my books Lucas attitude was nothing but betrayal (sorry, that's how I see it. The things he did, and the ones he discuss with Yulia about his not only boss, moreover, his longtime friend).

What makes Lucas better than Julian? Nothing. He's also a killer, one that admitted have been drawn to violence since early age. WTF was wrong with Lucas thinking about harming Nora? And Rosa trying to deceive Lucas and Julian? How come Rosa's actions by freeing Yulia were worse than Yulia being an instrument of the death of all the men on the plane crash, in Lucas eyes?

I really did enjoy this book, don't take me wrong. The beauty of all this, is that my anger was or is so real, as if it was me in the middle of the action. The built of the story it's so vividly describe, that I could smell the food, the jungle, and even the smoke of the blast.

Author Anna Zaires always delivers with amazingly unique, original and unpredictable stories. At the end of this book all I can say is that JULIAN is my man.

I highly recommend this series as any of Anna's books. Everything she writes is absolutely amazingly fantastic!!
