When an escalation of attacks on a town by neighboring shapeshifters threatens the town's population, a deal is struck where the town agrees to provide a female who will agree to be the mate of the Lazarus alpha in exchange for protecting the town.
A lottery is held and Mila Foster is chosen. Little does she realize that there are two alphas but only one will become her mate. A battle of supremacy will decide which of them will have the right to be her mate while the loser ends up dead or banished.
This 17,000 word count first installment serial story has the expected set up for an exciting tale of paranormal erotica romance. The vague open ended teasers are intended to grab the reader and encourage them to buy the follow up installments (or in this case ... parts) as this read is an incomplete story and you'll only find out what happens if you buy more installments.
What I liked about this book was that a BBW woman became the lust interest of two men. There is a solo quickie erotic scene that did include the basics but lacked any depth - I'd liken it to a "wham bamm thank you ma'am" scene. The actual story line had just enough substance to have me think I'd just read a prequel of sorts in which girl sacrifices herself for the good of her town only to find herself in a hostile environment as she will be responsible in weakening the pack.... to be continued.
Full disclosure: Regularly listed as $0.99, I received this on Amazon as a freebie. It has 68 pages (17,000 word count) and ends in a cliff hanger. The next installment Claimed by the Alphas: Part Two is listed for $0.99 on Amazon with a page count of 50 pages (12,500 word count). Claimed by the Alphas: Part Three is listed on Amazon for $0.99 with a page count of 65 pages (16,000 word count). When I go to the author's website/blog I did see that this will be a six book set ... and ... there is a listing that she will be making this a "boxed set" in May/2014. Looking at that info the full price of the three existing installments is $2.97 for 183 pages. A bit pricey for me considering the author has plans to issue the entire 6 book collection in May/2014.
