Publisher's summary

I'm a prisoner. A pet. A being of supreme power on a leash.

Why?

Because my arranged mate borrowed my power and nearly killed the House of Gold and Garnet's King.

Oh, he knew I was innocent. Just like his successor King Kaspian does as well. But that hasn't lessened my sentence; it's simply made my prison cell a little more comfortable.

Because instead of bars, I'm stuck in one of the new king's bedrooms. And he's tasked three immensely handsome mercenaries to guard me.

Nox, Bane, and Nolan.

Too bad all I want to do is escape—otherwise, I might be tempted by the buffet of sexy goodness spread out before me.

Alas, when King Kaspian gives me a task I can't refuse, I suddenly find myself incapable of thinking about anything or anyone other than the four captors controlling my life.

Because it turns out that breaking a magically forced mate bond can fracture the soul and cause new bonds to form. Four, to be exact. With a king and his three mercenary guards.

If any of them reject me, I'll die. But if they accept me, my death magic might consume us all

**Claim Me is a spicy standalone paranormal romance in the Immortal Vices and Virtues universe featuring Fallon and her four fated mates.

Absolutely incredible performances and cast!!

This was an incredible read that I couldn’t put down from the first page. Foss has given us a heroine who puts up with ALL of the abu$e … until she doesn’t. You will literally see the moment she decides to claim her power and oh! There’s so much to be claimed.

This one’s set in the House of Gold and Garnet.


Just a few of the tropes / elements you’ll find here:


D3@th magic.
Multiple måtes.
Fated mates, lots of talk of rejected måtes.
Domestic abu$e, f0rced marriage—this gets DARK. Though it isn’t shown much.
Curvy girl heroine & men who worship said curves.
So many secrets.
Corruption.
War.
S3x!sm / related oppression.
Royalty.
Vi0lence.
T0rture.

This one gets all of the stars for me—while absolutely all of it was perfection, the character development really stood out for me, that alone would be worthy.

The audio will be absolute fire.

5 stars. Only because I can’t select more.

*Updated on 15 May, 2024, to add:
🎧 The absolute minute the audiobook released, I did not hesitate to binge-listen, even though I’d already read the book—worth every second, and as I predicted month ago, yes, the audio was absolute fire. Full cast, complete with accents.
Amazing performances all around and stellar overall sound quality. 🦩
5 stars.

And this book is still incredible—I see lots of re-reads and/or re-listens in my future.

🖤Loved this!!🖤

What a sexy little nugget of a story! You don’t want to miss this one.

The narrators were absolutely fabulous and really knew how to bring this story to life with their believable accents that fit each character perfectly. The steamy scenes were hot and everything I expect from this talented writer.

The story of Fallen and these four captivating males had all the chemistry that you crave in a RH. It had me on the edge of my seat, was action packed and kept me wanting more!

This supernatural world is one that I absolutely love and don’t ever want to leave it. I can’t wait to hear about one of the side characters, Fallen’s sister, Issa. I really hope we get to hear her story next!

A Steamy PNR of Power and Passion

This is an enthralling audiobook. Fallon, a powerful witch, is imprisoned after her mate misuses her powers. Despite her innocence, she’s stuck in King Kaspian’s bedroom under the watch of three handsome mercenaries—Nox, Bane, and Nolan. Fallon’s journey from a damsel in distress to a force to be reckoned with is compelling. The dynamic between her and her captors is intense, and the supernatural elements, including breaking a forced mate bond, add depth. The narrators bring the story to life beautifully, enhancing the steamy, action-packed, and emotionally engaging narrative. A must-listen for fans of spicy paranormal romance!

Loved it!- Must read Taste Me by JR Thorn, too!!

I have loved this entire series thus far, but I think this audiobook and JR Thorn's "Taste Me" are my favorites. The two books are about twin, Fallon and Izzy. Listen to this one first. This is about Fallon. In a nutshell, the Patriarch of witches have suppressed the female witches of their coven because the females are more powerful. They basically take them at birth and suppress their powers by putting them under compliance spells and force mating them to coven members. They are then cyphoned for their powers to make the Patriarch stronger. Fallon and Izzy are one of the most powerful witches born, and the Patriarch has used their love for each other to keep them under control. Fallon has a link to the dead, a bit like Necromancy. Similarly, her sister is like a death siren, so she stays mute and communicates telepathically with Fallon. Fallon discovers she is mated to not 1, but 4 powerful entities. Being mating to these four allows her to start breaking the bonds she is under with the patriarchy. I think the storyline is unique and entertaining. Sexy times are quite spicy. I was excited to see that one of the books was about Izzy's story. The narrators are fantastic and I love this duet style, where each voice actor does their own speaking parts despite whichever POV the chapter is read from. Lisa Zimmerman is so talented, She voiced multiple female voices.

I requested and received a free audio copy via the publisher, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review. #TheFlockVIPReviewTeam #PinkFlamingoProductions #PFPAudio

Fated Mates Paranormal Romance

Claim Me by Lexi C. Foss is a why choose paranormal romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Jeffrey Holz, Kale Williams, Lisa Zimmerman, Maeve York, and Silas Hart. This book is set in the Immortal Vices and Virtues universe and can be read as a standalone.

I loved the chemistry between Fallon, Nox, Kaspian, Nolan, and Bane. Their relationship was messy, but I couldn't help but root for them. I really enjoyed getting all of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

Jeffrey, Kale, Lisa, Maeve, and Silas did an amazing job on the narration. They all really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for a paranormal romance, why choose romance, or romantic suspense.

Great story, great narration!

I really liked the multi person narration. At first, I thought 5 narrators might be overkill, but with these specific characters, it felt very natural. Good story for those who enjoy paranormal. I would’ve liked to have seen a little bit more of what the vampire and archangel could do though.

Ohhhh my goodness!

It’s been awhile since I’ve been this caught up into a book! Not that I haven’t enjoyed the other books I’ve read/listened to but this one grabbed my attention from the beginning and held it all the way through to the end. Normally my squirrel brain will have me distracted but not with this one.
All of the characters/narrators were so perfectly written/spoken that I couldn’t get enough. Women finding their power, realizing how strong they really are, men who aren’t afraid of a strong woman, sign me up!
I have even preordered Taste Me which is a companion book for this one. Just because I want to know more about Izzy, Fallon’s twin.

Prisoner to Peerage

Oh, what a read / listen this was. While I understand this is book 2 in Immortal Vices and Virtues: Her Monstrous Mates, it can easily be read / listened to as a standalone. This book has everything you could want in a paranormal, reverse harem romance read. Dark and dangerous, twists and turns, loyalty and betrayal and all the sweet and steamy romance too. I have to say that while this storyline was compelling, captivating and addictive and flowed beautifully - our narrators stole the show. I honestly don't think I would have appreciated this read as much without this unbelievable cast of narrators. Each brought their own character to life in a unique and thrilling way and the accents were swoon worthy. I am absolutely addicted to this world now and can't wait to listen to more. I loved that our main character Fallon had such intense character growth and discovered her strength and her sass throughout. I also loved that our reverse harem of King Kaspian, Nox, Bane, and Nolan were all given their own identities and voices. A wonderful, wonderful listen!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

Interesting read

Overall this was an interesting read and out of my norm but I’m glad I picked it up because I loved it! And the guys are all 🔥
Definitely recommend!

All About the Narrators

Fallon has immense death power but she's on a leash. The men of her coven control the more powerful women, using their powers for their own. Dark magic bonds her to her false mate who uses her powers for his evil ambitions. He attempted to kill the the House of Gold and Garnet's King and put the entire city to sleep. His plans were stopped by a demi-goddess, and now he is in the dungeon and Fallon is in the King's guest room as his prisoner. She's guarded by his mercenaries while they decide her mate's fate. When her mate's death is decided Fallon knows her time may be limited. The male elders of her coven demand for her to follow her false mate to the afterlife. Fate has other plans when it gifts her four true mates. However, the elders don't plan to surrender her power so easily.

This book claims to be a standalone but I feel I was missing vital backstory and character development. I could have gotten around that if Fallon communicated with any of the men. AT ALL. She's fine to have sex with them without trust but can't confide one detail about her predicament even though it's clear they are willing to help. This is a pet peeve of mine. Lack of communication for no reason ruins a character and story for me. Her lack of communication impacted the relationship building, minimizing it to just sex. It's a shame because the building blocks were there for a really good story.

The audiobook was narrated by the cast of Jeffrey Holz, Kale Williams, Lisa Zimmerman, Maeve York, and Silas Hart. They were fantastic! Each brought their character(s) to life elevating this basic story. I know it was a costly endeavor but it was well worth it. I wish more authors could justify an ensemble. It makes listening such a wonderful experience.
