Claim by Anna Hackett – Beau + Bell = Total Fireworks!

Wow, Claim by Anna Hackett completely swept me off my feet! From the very first page, I was hooked. Imagine this: a hot, nameless encounter with a rugged, tattooed stranger, only to find out he’s the one person who can help you when you’re running from a killer. That’s the wild ride Bell goes on, and I was here for every twist and turn!

Bell is one fierce heroine. For over a year, she’s been on the run, trying to escape a psychotic stalker who’s haunted her since tragedy struck. I loved how determined she was to regain control of her life. She doesn’t just want to hide; she’s ready to learn how to fight back! It was empowering to see her take charge, and I found myself cheering her on as she transformed into a fighter.

Now let’s talk about Beau. Oh my goodness, he is everything! Gruff, muscular, and undeniably protective. Their chemistry? Off the charts! But I did find myself getting a bit frustrated with his reluctance to fully embrace their connection. He thinks he’s too old and damaged for Bell, but honestly, who cares about age when the spark is so real? I was just rooting for him to see how perfect they were together!

The action kept me on the edge of my seat. Bell faces multiple threats, but what I loved the most was her evolution from being the damsel in distress to taking control of her destiny. And when she finally stands up to her killer? Yes! I was cheering her on.

Also, the little cameo from Zane and Monroe added a fun touch for those who’ve followed Hackett’s other books. I love those crossover moments!

In short, Claim is a thrilling blend of romance, suspense, and fierce empowerment. If you enjoy strong heroines, protective alpha males, and a dash of action, this book should be on your TBR list! I devoured it in one sitting, and I think you will too!
