review 1: Never thought I would like science fiction books so much.I discovered this series thanks to winning book 2 from it. I liked it so much I had to read the first book too.I wasn't disappointed at all. I loved it as much as book 2. Can't wait to read more in this series and more books from this writer, to see if they are as good as this one.Jesse is fighting for her life and taking care of her two sisters when she hears about humans planning to kill the captured Hunter. She can't walk away without helping him. Because of her he escapes. But Hunter can't let her go and finds her sick and wounded. He pays he back by taking care of her and her sisters. First Jesse doesn't like that at all, but soon she falls for him and cares for him.Enough to go out when he is missing and saving... more him again.Great passion and action in this book.If aliens are like Hunter I wouldn't mind meeting one.
review 2: Hunter's Claim is the first installment in The Alliance, a new syfy / romance series. We are introduced to Jesse who is struggling to keep her sisters and herself alive in the face of raging apocalyptic devastation following the arrival of Trivator forces who have taken over control of the Earth. On a scouting run for food and supplies Jesse stumbles upon a hiding place that is subsequently breached by humans who happen to have an alien captive; Hunter. On hearing their plans for Hunter from her hiding space Jesse cannot stand by and not help him and off we go - the adventure begins.We are introduced to some of the different cultural norms for the Trivator race, but there is not really a lot of world building going on as far as why all of the events unfolding occur, which for this reader kept this book from being a five sheep read. The writing is comfortable and entertaining with some really great characters even though the story is more like an installment focusing on specific characters in a long running series rather than a first book that introduces the reader to this world at the time of the events. I found myself crying at the moments of tragedy, grinning at the humor, and overall this is a great little story. While Hunter's Claim is not really a deep read or syfy experience, other than the twist of the alien characters and invasion of the Earth, it is an enjoyable tale of romance with a new little twist. There is also some sensual smexy going on that is story driven and well done for those who enjoy a little heat.Overall I enjoyed the story and look forward to finding out more about the world as the saga unfolds, as well as reading the stories of the various adventures of the primary characters we have been introduced to including Jesse's sisters and their corresponding warrior adventures. I would recommend Hunter's Claim to those who enjoy a lighter romance with a bit of adventure, as well as a syfy twist thrown in the mix. I received this book with a request for my honest review without any compensation whatsoever, other than the joy of reading a new book. less
