Connor's Claim (Body Count, #2) Kindle Edition

by Jolie Vines (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 5,919 ratings
***AN AMAZON NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING SERIES***

Please note this blurb contains spoilers for Arran's Obsession.

I tried everything to get his attention, but I invited in a monster.
After facing a threat to my life, I found myself kidnapped and locked away by the skeleton crew’s enforcer. Connor is feared. Respected. And obsessed with me.
He controls everything, right down to my pleasure. His rules dictate what I can and can’t touch. When I can and can’t wear clothes.
What’s strange is how happy I am.
From the outside, my old life appeared perfect, but my father’s iron grip had suffocated me. Now, in the hands of my captor, I can finally breathe.
With the body count racking up in Deadwater, I never want to leave my masked man’s protection. Even if caring for me might cause his downfall.
Without realising it, I’ve become Connor’s claim. But how long can it last when the secrets I keep threaten us both?

--

Connor’s Claim is the second book in the interconnected dark romance Body Count trilogy, featuring a murder mystery and a crew who will do anything to keep their women.

Tropes:
  • The unhinged tattooed enforcer and the mayor’s daughter
  • Dangerous play (including BC tampering)
  • Somno
  • Forced proximity
  • Throat tattoo, stabby implements, and something pierced
As with Arran’s book, check the TWs if you need to (the list is still just as long as … it should be, dirty girl).

    This is the second book in the series and should be read in order, if not, you will be completely lost.

    I loved this one. Connor is not necessarily unhinged but just a long lost puppy that doesn’t know how to handle himself when it comes to Everly. He’s like an extra crispy cinnamon roll with only a little bit of gooey on the inside.

    The plot is ongoing from book one into book three. I love that we still get Gen and Aaran and I have a feel that Riordan and Cassie are going to be my favorite.

    This is a really great series. Each book is amazing and hot🔥. Yet it's the thriller of the mystery carried through the books that really made me enjoy the carry over of the stories. Not just the intertwined characters. Conner aka Shade is so multifaceted. He's the best so far !

    Jolie did it again! I can't get over how good she is with this plot and storyline.

    The story in this book continues by with the POV of Connor and Everly. SOME DIRTY LITTLE CONNECTIONS COME OUT IN THIS BOOK! It goes through both of their history alone and together. They finally reconnect and discover what went wrong all those years ago. Also, a great rendition of why the grass is not greener on the other side. Finally, Everly, Cassie, Riordan, and Gen all team up to figure out who is killing girls from the club then at the end it all just explodes.

    I really liked this book (almost as well as the first one). I really love how Connor stands up for Everly and stands by her side while teaching her to be proud of her body. The ending escalated for them as a couple but I LOVED how they leaped at the last couple steps at the relationship. Overall, great and quick read!

    Spice and Triggers 5+/5

    There are so many triggers in this book. This series is not for the weak.
