Claim Me is the third book in the Capture Me series, and it the conclusion to Lucas and Yulia’s story.
As this book begins, Yulia has escaped from the compound while Lucas is away for work. She thinks she has finally gained her freedom, but every day is a struggle to survive both physically and emotionally. The memories of Lucas haunt her dreams, and the longer she is away from him the deeper the hollow feeling in her chest grows. When she returns to the UUR, she learns that everything she gave up having a normal life for has been a lie. She soon finds herself in imminent danger. Just when she thinks her life is about to come to a brutal end, Lucas shows up in a blaze of glory.
When Lucas learns of Yulia’s escape, he is furious and the sting of betrayal is overwhelming. He vows to find her and keep her forever. However, the world that he and Yulia live in comes with a multitude of enemies and danger. Can these to not only survive but also find their own version of their happily ever after?
I first fell in love with Anna Zaires’ writing in her Twist Me series. Like this series, it is a dark and gritty read. If you haven’t yet read it, you need to rectify that asap! One of the great things about this final book in the Capture Me series is the epilogue it contains for Julian and Nora’s story (the couple from the Twist Me series). I really thought I couldn’t love a couple more than Julian and Nora, but I am glad to say that I was oh so wrong! Lucas and Yulia are just as great! While I am sad this is the end of this series, Anna Zaires plans to write many more books, and I am certain they will be just as great! If you are looking for a dark and captivating series, both Twist Me and Capture hit the mark! Great job, Anna!!

Wow! If you are a fan of dark reads, you can’t go wrong with any book written by Anna Zaires. This is the first book in the Capture Me series. To avoid confusion, I would suggest reading the Twist Me series before starting this one.
Lucas Kent is the right hand man of the infamous arms dealer, Julian Esguerra. He has a weakness for blondes with long legs, so when he first sets eyes on Yulia Tzakova he knows he has to have her. However, Julia is not who she appears to be. She is a Ukranian spy sent to get information on Esguerra. After she fails to seduce Esguerra, she goes home to notify her boss of her failure. Her luck seems to change when Lucas shows up at her door. After a night of explosive sex, the plane that Lucas and Esguerra are traveling on is shot down killing 50 of their men. He soon learns that Yulia played apart in the crash, and he is beyond furious. He takes Yulia to his home where he keeps her as his prisoner. His plan is to get the information he needs at any price. What he didn’t expect was the strong urge he had to protect her and make her his.
I loved this book! It was dark and gritty. I can’t wait to read more of their story in Bind Me which is the next book in the series. Another great book, Anna Zaires.

Capture Me is the first book in the Capture Me Series by Anna Zaires. It is not a standalone and ends in a cliffhanger.
Yulia Tzakova is on a assignment that she’s just failed at. By chance Lucas Kent the second in command of a criminal organization shows up at her apartment unexpectedly and she see a chance to make up for where she failed. One night of passion and some useful information to take Lucas’s boss down was all it was suppose to be. To Yulia, Lucas is dark and dangerous and he scares her. But she’s use to dark and dangerous men and knows she will never see him again. A plane crash involving Lucas, his boss and their team seemed impossible until Lucas learns the truth. Yulia has betrayed him and now she is going to pay. That is, if he can get that he wants to make her his out of his head.
I absolutely love a good dark book and I was not disappointed with Capture Me. It’s absolutely amazing. Yulia and Lucas have this chemistry that just sets you kindle on fire. Yulia is in a really bad position with her betrayal and is afraid for her life. Truthfully she should die for what she’s done. Lucas struggles so much with wanting to make Yulia pay for what she’s done and wanting her in his bed. Filled with twist and turns Capture me is the the perfect balance that a dark book needs. I loved every single second of it and can not wait to ipdove into Bind Me right away.
If you like dark books with lots of passion Capture Me is a book you don’t want to miss.

He’s determined to break her.
For Lucas Kent, his new prisoner is a maddening contradiction: compliant yet defiant, fragile yet strong. He needs to uncover her secrets, but doing so may ruin everything.
His obsession could destroy her.
She’s determined to escape.
For Yulia Tzakova, her captor is the man of both her dreams and her nightmares: tender one moment, cruel the next. She can’t let him crack her, but resisting him may leave her broken.
A moment of weakness could cost her everything.

Bind Me is the second book in the Capture Me series, and it is the continuation of Lucas and Yulia’s story.
Lucas has slowly become obsessed with his prisoner, Yulia. He wants to know everything about her. When he learns about certain things, he decides that he just can’t torture her to get the information he needs. As these two spend time together, their feelings for one another grow. In a moment of weakness, Yulia breaks and gives Lucas the name of the organization she has been working for. His plan is to kill every last one of them, but Yulia can’t let that happen. Can she escape and protect the one person who means everything to her?
This book was great. Lucas and Yulia were both great characters. And the chemistry between them? Hawt Hawt Hawt! Of course the book ends with a cliffhanger, but the next book, Claim Me, is scheduled to be released very soon! I can’t wait to read the conclusion of their story.

Bind Me is the second book in Anna Zaires Capture Me Trilogy. it is not a standalone and does end in a cliffhanger.
Lucas Kent is determined to get the information he wants from Yulia Tzakova his captive. Yulia is unlike any other person he has had to break to get information from. Lucas is developing feelings for Yulia and that only makes his actions toward Yulia all the more confusing. She’s fragile and strong while compliant yet defiant. Lucas is tender and kind while cruel in other moments. Yulia knows her captor is her worst nightmare and dream all rolled in to one. But when your trying to keep someone you love more than anything in the world safe you will do whatever it takes not to give your secret away.
Bind Me picks up exactly where Capture Me left off. I loved the continuation of li as and Yulia’s story. There are so many emotions for both Yulia and Lucas that come into play during Bind Me. He fights with being the man who does whatever it takes to get information he needs by whatever means necessary and his need to protect Yulia. Yulia fights with the way her head tell up her she wants nothing to do with Lucas and the way her body betrays here every time by wanting Lucas. Yulia though has so much on the line that she can’t tell Lucas what he wants to know without destroying her whole reason for being in this mess in the first place. Two determined people and some seriously scorching hot passion makes for one fantastic read.
If you like dark romances then you do not want to miss Capture Me or Bind Me. This series is absolutely amazing and I am devouring each book. I can not wait to get my hands on Claim Me.
