Who wants to be drafted?
That is what exactly Olivia has been called to do but not your normal drafter she is to be a mate to an alien (kindred) called Baird he has a month to convince her that they are meant to be together.
But the more she resists the more she can’t help but fall for him…
But when she is taken by the Allfather he sacrifices himself for her leaving himself nothing more than a shell of the man that he was but Olivia won’t give up until the man she fell in love with.
You need to read this book I’m not going to spoil to it’s like giving the ending away on a film half way through.

These books all lead on from each other and is best read in order otherwise you won’t know who people are or what is going on especially with all of the back stories and clues in each book leading throughout each book to the bigger picture.

I don't think I've ever gnashed my teeth before. I wasn't even aware it was physically possible until now. But Olivia. Sweet baby Jesus, she's enough to make you try to garotte yourself with your favourite scarf and slit your wrists with the nearest paperback.

How do I despise Liv? Let me count the ways:

- She's selfish to the point of stupidity.
- She refuses to see anyone's point of view if it doesn't directly correlate with her own world view.
- She asks herself questions endlessly but can't manage to answer a damn one.
- She can't get it through her obviously damaged cranium that Baird is NOT her ex-fiance. Like, at all. 
- She was constantly stuttering. But not in the usual way. No, she'd say the first word, pause, say it again with the rest of the sentence. IN ALMOST EVERY FUCKING SENTENCE SHE SPOKE.
- She'd rather stuff wool in her ears and wear blinders than put on her big girl panties and actually THINK about things for half a minute.
- She somehow completely ignores over the fact that she's in love and refuses to accept that she just might be head over heels. Just because she didn't love her ex. Wait, what? What the fuck kind of reasoning is that, you half-witted slag?!
- She'd rather believe the worse about Baird than take a good look at herself and shake hands with her inner woman.



There goes my blood pressure again. This bitch gave me a migraine from all the teeth grinding and headdesking I did while reading this. The ONLY reason I didn't rate this one star is because of Baird and Sylvan. I liked them. A lot. I thought Baird deserved a hell of a lot more out of a relationship than the greedy, selfish twat he ended up with. 

Another boost to the story is the world-building. The idea behind the story was awesome! If only the "heroine" (and once again, I use that term quite wrongly) wasn't such a ghastly slapper, I would have given this four stars.

A warning for anyone considering reading this: the term "cunt" is used several times. Not as much as "pussy", but more than a few times for sure. I have no problem with this word, but I know it's a hot button for many. If you can get past Liv, it's a good story. And I'm definitely going to read the next book and will be thanking my lucky stars that Liv won't be in it more than a few pages.

Olivia Waterhouse just got drafted. Problem is, she isn't being forced into the Army, she's been chosen as a Kindred bride. The Kindred are huge alien warriors-a race of genetic traders whose population is ninety-five percent male. After saving Earth from the threat of invasion they demand a reward-the right to find brides among the population. Baird is a Beast Kindred who recently escaped imprisonment and torture. Through the torment and pain only one thing kept him sane-the thought of finding and claiming his bride-Olivia. His need to possess her is a burning intensity that threatens to consume them both. Angry at having her future and her family taken away from her, Liv vows to resist. But Baird isn't going to make it easy for her. Every week he is allowed to touch Liv more and more intimately and according to the contract she signed, she has to let him. She's determined to resist him but his touch sets her on fire. What's a girl to do? Olivia Waterhouse has been Claimed.
