Such a great series. I loved the mmm twist this had in it. It made sense. They each fit. Also the heat lever was off the charts 🔥

Claimed is the 7th book in the Breaking Free series by A.M. Arthur. Demir Higgs is a young university-aged beta who is on a fast track to becoming a researcher to cure a disease the child of his stepfather's friend had. Brandt, who is a senior constable, lost his omega bondmate mysteriously one day when he leaves to go to a doctor appointment. Can a beta and an alpha form a long-lasting relationship?

Demir is a really good character. Although he is a beta, he is as caring as an omega and as fierce as an alpha. Despite Oliver coming back I really love how Demir was not thrown away and added into the relationship although after reading the past books and knowing about how possessive alphas get, I wondered how it would work out.

I have to say I am really pleased Demir got his book. It did not go as I thought it would or even how I hoped it would but it had a good MMM storyline. The ending was abrupt and I hoped there would be more. I really hope this was not the last book but I honestly have no clue who would be next.

I enjoyed this latest installment in the series, but NGL, dude on the cover looks to be 55+, and I'd been expecting Lars to be a much older character. When he said he was only 38, I had to go back to the cover for a second look. I realize Lars had been prematurely aged by stress, grief, and alcohol after the loss of his mate, and one of the kids in the story did actually compare his appearance to their grandpa, but still. In my opinion, there's like a 15-20 year discrepancy between the character's actual age and how he's represented on the cover... and that just seems like a lot.

Anyway, given the cover model, I had certain expectations going in and the story didn't meet those expectations given how young Lars actually was. I even laughed when he called himself an "old fart." My closest friends and I are all in our 30s/early-40s, and none of us would say that in any serious way. Lars seemed ready to sign up for his AARP card and start asking for his senior discount already. But aside from that minor gripe, I did like this a lot better than the previous book in the series. I hope Arthur will jump forward in time to write stories about the kids when they're grown up! I'd also love some stories about the omegas who were sent to the sanctuary. Hopefully someday!
