Written by AvidscribeOriginally posted on boookup dot blogspot dot com (former site run by Confessions From Romaholics) (NOT FULL REVIEW)This series is a compulsive read. While erotic, there is a strong storyline at its base. Earth is under attack from the Scourge and were it not for the Kindred warriors who have come to the planet's aid, the human population would have been enslaved. The Kindred ask for one thing in return--Earth females to mate and marry as their own genetic pool is 95% male.Book one, Claimed, is the story of Olivia Waterhouse who is claimed by a Beast Warrior named Baird. The Kindred 'claim' their brides as part of the alliance pact they've created with Earth to continue to keep it safe. She goes very unwillingly (she's just graduated from nursing school and doesn't want to be separated from her twin sister Sophia or best friend Kat) and his fight to seduce her is the core of the story.Book two, Hunted, picks up when Olivia's sister, Sophia, attends the wedding of her sister to Baird and finds herself forced into a ceremonial kiss with Baird's brother Sylvan, a Tranq Kindred. Tranqs (or Blood Kindreds) have fangs that drop down in sexual excitement. Unfortunately for Sophia, who is attracted to the tall blond warrior, she's phobic about needles and wants nothing to do with him or his vampiric teeth even though she feels an undeniable pull of sexual attraction between them.Book three, Sought, is the best of the three. I believe a fourth is planned. Kat, the dear friend of both sisters, has managed to attract the attention of Twin Kindred, Deep and Lock. She's a pint sized zaftig attorney who, in book two, is forced to have a mind menage with the Twin Kindred in order to find Sophia when she is kidnapped by the Scourge. Unbeknownst to any of them, the mind sharing has created a half formed bond between them and in book three she goes with the twins to their home world to find a way to dissolve the bond. The bond has the side effect of massive headaches and strong sexual feelings for both men and the sooner it's dissolved, the happier she will be. She doesn't want the complication of men in her life and certainly not Twin Kindred who marry as a pair taking one woman between them.
