Look, I have to say I love Kelly Lucille as an author. She writes great characters and strong heroines. They are  normally a bit of spunky  with a touch of sweetness. This is the third book in the 'Keeping Her" series. It could be read as a standalone. But if you haven't read the first two, characters might seem to just pop up out of the blue.  Also Lucas and Miley get hot and heavy very fast, which might seem a tad quick if you haven't been reading about them through two other stories first."Claiming Her" seems much longer than the first book in the series "Keeping Her" which in some ways is good.  You see all the crew from past books and a few new characters to look out for. Yes, there is a sexy new 'Enforcer' that turns up towards the end. Hmm can't wait for him to meet his 'mate'. Now to the lovebirds at the centre of the story, Lucas and Miley. Except these two weren't really love birds, mates sure. Hot of each other absolutely. Head over heels for each other, not so sure.Lucas just came across as more than a bit arrogant. Which is fine, being an alpha lion shifter and all. But he didn't tone it down for Miley. Before the start of this book he had betrayed Miley's trust  and left her in a bad situation.  When he turns up again he expects her to fall into line as his mate. Even though he never seemed that sorry about  treating her badly in the first place. I just didn't get as much emotion between these two as I would have liked.Miley provides the spunk, Lucas gives the alpha vibe, but I  felt sweetness in the relationship was missing. I was also quite surprised Lucas's history was not explained in any way. How did he end up raising  his children as a single father? Where is their mother? It would have been nice to fill in some of the blanks about Lucas. Perhaps I am being a bit picky though, did I enjoy it? Yes I did. Maybe not my favourite Kelly Lucille book but a solid effort non the less.
