Claimed is the third book in the Torzial Affair series. This book does not end in a cliffhanger, but there are a couple of openings in the way the story is written for other characters to have their own stories. In order for this book to make complete sense, you need to read the two previous books. After getting through all three books, I’d say reading them back-to-back would probably be the best reading experience.
I like Brian better in this book than in the last one. Sasha story line *shakes head* did not see that coming, which is saying something because I can usually spot how a book is going to play out.
While the individual books had their bumpy reading moments for me, as a series it is pretty well done.

The Torzial Affair Book 3: Claimed written by Via Mari. I’m sad to see this series end just like I was with The Prestian Series however I am so eager to see what’s next. Jenny and Brian have had a long, stressful start and hopefully everything is finished and they can just relax and be. Reading as Jenny struggles with everything that happened with Ty and because of Ty is hard. You feel for her and how it’s just one thing after another, but Brian and Matt and everyone else who loves her has her back like always. They go above and beyond to help her and ultimately save her. You also see some hints of what could come you just wonder which way the new story will go…

Bound picks up right where Shattered stopped. Via Mari does an amazing job that keeps you engaged with the story that makes you want to read more and more. I highly recommend plan on finishing the book. Like any journey there are bumps, twists, and turns, this story is no different. With any relationships there are a few foundations that you lay down because if one of the blocks are broken so is the relationship. I do not want to give too much away but this story will keep you on your toes and see what everyone is up too with the story.

CLAIMED (The Torzial Affair Book 3) By: Via Mari 5 out of 5 stars
The story CLAIMED (The Torzial Affair Book 3) by Via Mari is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It is a story that hooks you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let you go until you have read the final page. It is a story that is suspenseful, romantic, and steamy. I have grown to care about the characters of Brian and Jenny since I was first introduced to them. They are two people who deserve happiness and I couldn’t help but root for them to find it. The story finds Brian doing everything in his power to prove Jenny innocent of a crime she didn’t commit. Will his power and wealth also be enough to keep her safe from the mob who want her silenced? Will he be able to protect her? Jenny and Brian’s relationship is steamy and you can feel the passion/desire that they feel for each other. As these two find their way in their relationship the trust between them only grows. There is also plenty of dirty talking, teasing, and bantering going on between them. What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. This story has some twists and turns to it that I didn’t see coming. There were times I was turning pages to find out what would happen next. I also enjoyed reading about the secondary characters who play their part in the story. Most of them have been brought forward from the previous books. There are characters that are like family to Jenny and Brian and I loved when they all banter and interact with each other. The author has done a wonderful job in developing both the storyline and characters. This is a book and series that I would highly recommend reading.

Via Mari, you somehow keep surpassing all of my expectations with every book. This latest installment kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I’ve come to love these characters and scoundrel myself very pleased with the plot development and page in Claimed. Huge congrats to the author for another success. Loved the adventure that I found in these pages!

Claimed (The Torzial Affair Book 3) by Via Mari is explosive and unfortunately the end of the series. This amazing series just gets better and better. The web of pain and betrayal, lies and deceit is a cleverly woven together plot that Via has masterfully put together. As with the others in the series the storyline is a brilliant complex, multifaceted and multidimensional which has the pages turning and the story ending before I was ready. The journey with these amazing characters has been one hell of a ride. I felt every emotion possible and was on the edge of my seat the whole way. Jenny is fighting for her freedom. A precious freedom that could all be gone in a fraction of a second. Her life and her experiences will never be the same but it is all for nothing if the one person who counts doesn’t know truth from lies. The one person who knows how to take the pain away. The man she loves.
Brian will stop at nothing and no expense is spared to fight for the one thing he loves most in this world. Yes it is love and who would have thought that. But with so much conflicting information how much of it is truth and how much is lies.
I am sorry to see the series end but I can’t wait to see what comes next from Via.

Claimed by Via Mari is an incredibly thrilling and suspenseful romance read with a perfect dose of BDSM. This is the third book in The Torzial Affair series, a series that must be read in order as each book follows where the last one left off.
I have thoroughly enjoyed following this series from start to finish, just like the first two I was able to read this book in one sitting as I got so caught up in the story that I didn’t stop until I reached the end.
Via Mari took me on an incredible journey with this series that I can’t wait to read more from her in the near future! I would recommend this series to others!

Claimed is the third and final book in the Torzial Affair Series by author Via Mari. This is the culmination of Jenny Torzial and Brian Carrington’s relationship and begins where Bound left off, in the courthouse with the verdict of Jenny’s trial. But just because the verdict is in doesn’t mean that the danger is over for Jenny or Brian. Someone wants Jenny silenced and Brian is willing to do anything for that not to happen. The first half of this book was centered around the D/s relationship that Jenny and Brian are building which at times became a little redundant. Watch out for that halfway point though because that is where the nail-biting action takes off. There were so many twists and turns that I was on the edge of my seat, turning the page as fast as I could, because I needed to know what was going to happen next, who exactly were the bad guys, and would Brian be able to protect his love. By the end of the story I needed a drink it was that good of an ending. I will say, the author leaves you wondering though about certain characters (Jenny’s niece, brother and bodyguard) and whether they will get stories of their own. Hopefully they will and I will be one reader looking forward to reading about them. Thank you, Ms. Mari, for several hours of entertainment!

This had me an emotional mess..I hit all the feels in this one and the biggest was anger. So much going on, and just when I thought I had something figured out nope this author gave me whiplash.
I’ve read the first series and moved into this one and so far I can almost say I love this one even more and that is saying a lot because The Prestian series was completely awesome and if you don’t read this from there you will be missing out on so so much!
I’m not going into any detail, I don’t want to ruin anything for other readers but take my advice and read these books. Via Mari has moved to my favorite authors list like a speeding bullet and all I can say is bring on the next book. I can not wait!

Brian Carrington has done everything in his power to prove Jenny Torzial, the love of his life, is innocent of a crime she did not commit, but will she pay the ultimate price for that freedom?
She knows too much, she has seen more than the mob can allow, and they will stop at nothing to ensure her silence.
Will Brian’s wealth and power be enough to stop them? Will the total dominance and submission he craves be more than she is ready for and push Jenny away, or capture her for a lifetime?
Via Mari lives in the Midwest with her husband and their loveable fur baby. As a child who was raised in both the United States and the United Kingdom, she spent countless hours traveling and developed a passion for the written word at a young age.
She is an avid reader of romance. In fact, you can still find her curled up in an overstuffed chair, especially during winter when the wood fire is crackling and popping, reading a page-turning novel until the early hours of the morning.
As she began researching and writing love scenes for her own series, it became apparent there seemed to be a cultural divide between what people believed was normal sexual behavior, or vanilla, and that which people considered BDSM. She enjoys creating characters and scenes that allow the reader to safely explore what they would and would not be willing to try.

Bound is the second book in the Torzial series by Via Mari. This series really captivated me, and I’ve loved every minute that I have spent between its pages. I really liked Ms. Mari’s Prestian series, so I knew I would like this series too, especially as it focuses on character/s that we met in the Prestian books- who now get their own books/series. But I can honestly say that this book (and the series as a whole) are now my favourite reads of Ms. Mari’s. They have eclipsed the Prestian series, in my eyes, and left me needing more of Ms. Mari’s work. This book picks up right where book one left off, so I really recommend reading that book first before starting on this one, so you are up to date with all the important factors and exciting developments- and are able to follow all the interconnected threads of the storyline. You don’t need to have read the Prestian books to enjoy this series, but as it has some shared/ recurring characters, as well as some timeline/storyline elements- I would advise you to- as it will definitely enhance your reading pleasure. As with the first book, this is a romantic suspense that’s full of action, danger, secrets, hidden agendas, humour, mystery, lots more sexual exploration & awakening, some light bondage, spanking, red hot sizzling scenes, mafia, and lots of intrigue. There is a lot happening in the story, but Ms. Mari choreographs the whole thing seemingly effortlessly, keeping me enthralled- and in anticipation. Ms. Mari really seems to have hit her stride with these books, and is totally comfortable and at ease with her craft- which really shows in this really well written and captivating book! After the intense developments in the last book, we find things are only intensifying for Jenny and Brain. She has become the primary suspect in the murder of her ex, and as if that weren’t enough for anyone to have to contend with, the mafia has put a target on her back. Jenny is still trying to come to terms with her own horrific ordeal- and Brian has had a lot to do with her being able to piece herself back together again. Brian wants her to trust him to protect her and relinquish ‘control’ to him- as he’s determined to do whatever it takes to protect her. But as more and more ‘evidence’ begins to mount, will he start to lose faith in her? Will these doubts drive them apart? Could she ever really trust him with her heart? I really love these two, they are such fantastic characters- superbly crafted, with fully developed and complex personalities. I was completely immersed in their story, emotionally invested in them and their ‘lives’- strung out on all the detail, reading anxiously to discover what happens to them. This is primarily a suspense- with a great erotic romance woven through it. I love how Via Mari is able to build such intense tension, chemistry, and intrigue- but manages to balance it all with lots of emotion, and a little humour. The story does continue into the next book, but as you may have guessed by now, I didn’t take a break between books, and read the entire series back to back! I can’t wait to see what she does next!

Bound by Via Mari My rating: 4 of 5 stars Bound: The Torzial Affair Book 2 by: Via Mari- Review by Jessica Ranslow Brian Carrington has made it his priority to keep Jenny Torzial safe. That proves to be a full time job with the mafia an ever present danger and the legal system determined to convict Jenny for the murder of her ex boyfriend. While Brian stays busy fighting the external forces that threaten her, Jenny continues to battle her internal demons. Allowing Brian to dominate Jenny in the bedroom is exactly what Jenny had always wanted, but she maintained a level of control over her life outside of the bedroom. Can Brian continue to keep Jenny safe without Jenny feeling like she’s lost control of every aspect of her life? Will Jenny ever get to live her life without looking over her shoulder and wondering what, or who, will come for her next? Via Mari does not disappoint with book 2 in her series!

Shattered is book one in the, Torzial affair series by Via Mari. Having never read anything by this author before I was impressed with the writing style. This book is written in such a way it will pull you right into the story from the beginning. I was captivated by the end of the first chapter. This book centres around Jenny who has a successful consulting business. Jenny has been totally destroyed by her ex partner. Brian is the heir to a steel empire who comes across some what cocky. Until he met Jenny he was so sure all women wanted him for was his money. As soon as they met the chemistry between them was obvious. But now Jenny needs to learn to trust again and Brian needs to be less cocky and see Jenny as the awesome broken woman she is, and show her that love can be found again. But the question is have either of them got the heart to take that extra step to love, trust and a happy life?

Bound is the second book in the Torzial Affair series. You should read the previous book first to get the full picture. It ends in a cliffhanger.
Where the previous book focuses more on the budding relationship between Jenny and Brian, this book focuses on the danger elements surrounding Jenny. I found this story very…busy, I guess is the best way to describe it. There is a lot going on and at times it seems like a little too much. I kept up with the story line, but it seems like there was a bunch of action crammed into a small time frame.
I also found Brian to be a bit of a jerk in this story. He talks about trust, but the way he handles some of the stuff with Jenny, well, he’s expecting a lot at certain points in the story. But it is fiction so…
Bound has plenty of action and steamy scenes. A good few hours of entertainment.

This is book two in the story of Jenny and Brian. You pick up where book one ended. Jenny’s life is spiraling out of control even more. I couldn’t stand the way that they lacked communication. People are so afraid that they won’t like what some one says so they never ask. So many misunderstandings cold have been avoided if they opened their mouths. Jenny jumped to conclusions too fast and never gave Brian a chance to explain. I don’t know if I would like someone being completely in control of me. It sounds nice reading about it but would I like it in my life. The author isn’t disappointing in this second book. I am enjoying this 2series better than the first.

Im so glad we get Jenny’s story, and while it contains some triggers for some, it was done in a way that was needed to show the story of Jenny as a whole. I really enjoy this authors style and between this series and the Prestian Series I am now hooked! I couldn’t put this down and I cant wait to read more!

Bound (The Torzial Affair Book 2) by Via Mari is amazing. This incredible series just gets better and better. Via has woven a superb web of betrayal and deceit that has more twists and turns than a road in the mountains. This complex and multifaceted and multidimensional story had me spellbound as I turned page after page not knowing where the story would take me. My heart was often in my throat as I followed along with these wonderful characters that have found their way into my heart and soul. It is one sexy, steamy and erotic read that will leave you in need of a cold shower.
Jenny is caught up in something she has no idea about but the repercussions are a matter of life and death, not only to herself but all those around her and the evidence just seems to pile up and up. There is only one person she can trust but it seems even that may be displaced.
Brian is trying to do everything he can to help the woman who has come to mean so much to him. It seems that for every step forward they end up taking several back. Who is behind this trouble and who can he trust? Will he walk away from the one who needs him the most when he is confronted evidence that implicate the worst?
Via is an author not to be missed. I am so excited to read the next book in this brilliant series.

Shattered ( The Torzial Affair) by Via Mari. Via Mari has become one of my very favorite authors! I’ve got to the point if I see her name on a book I don’t even read the description because I know I will love it. This is the story of Jenny Torzial a beautiful, successful, owner of a very dominant Consulting Company. She look so put together and classy on the outside you would hardly know that on the inside she is an emotional mess all due to the man who was to be her husband. He destroyed every once of trust,love and security she had. Enter Brian Carrington a cocky heir to the Carrington Steel Empire. He thinks all woman want from him are his money so he is not into relationships at all just one night stands until he meets Jenny at their best friends wedding. There is immediate sexual chemistry but Jenny doesn’t know if she can every get past the scars of her past to move forward and trust anyone. Will they become more than just business partners and turn into a super power couple or will their past hurts keep them from knowing love. Read Shattered to find out.

Shattered is book one of the Torzial Affair series. The main characters are Jenny and Brian. Jenny suffered a very traumatic experience when she was brutally raped by her ex. Brian is extremely attracted to her. Jenny struggles to cope with the event and Brian changes things. I loved following the intensity and steamy romance the storyline featured. It was an easy read. I was confused for a bit regarding the Alfreita but it made sense as I continued to read. I loved how protective Brian was of Jenny and Chase was of Kate. I felt that was another way these men were able to express how much they cared. I can’t wait to read more in this series!

Bound is the second book in The Torzial Affair by Via Mari. Jenny is such a strong independent woman will she be able to let Brian protect her by taking control of things outside of the bedroom? I didn’t think I could fall any more in love with Brian and Jenny. I love the way Jenny still knows how to push Brian buttons.
Via, another great book that kept me glued to my kindle with every page. Bound was just as steamy and non-stop twists just like Shattered. I can’t wait to see how this series is going to end.

Shattered is a part of the Torzial Affair three book series by Via Mari. I have loved Via Mari’s other stories so I knew I would like this story as well. One thing about Via Mari’s stories is that I am pulled into the stories just like I am part of the family. There are some twists and turns that came out of nowhere. The story moves at a quick pace and I even started to yell at Jenny because of some of her dumb moves. The book is about Jenny and Brian and their relationship. They are both strong people who have some stressors and have built walls around themselves. Will Jenny and Brian make it, or will they have problems because of the past?

Bound, the second book in the Torzial Affair series by Via Mari picks up right where Shattered left off. This installment ramped up the action to the point that my heart was racing from the first page to the very last page. Where I felt a little like I was missing part of the story with Shattered, Bound definitely made up for that as it was definitely easier to follow. Jenny’s past is still haunting her in this book and she can’t seem to escape, but where she only had to worry about one person’s deviousness, she now has a big target on her back from another, worse entity. I definitely enjoyed this story over the first book, maybe due to the fact that it didn’t dwell on what had happened in the author’s previous series but centered around Jenny and Brian and what they were dealing with. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series now especially since this one just seemed to end at an integral part of the storyline.

Shattered (The Torzial Affair Book 1) by Via Mari is a spinoff from the Prestian series which I enjoyed but this first book in the series is amazing. I suggest you start with the Prestian series before starting this series as the amazing characters and stories are intertwined. Via has excelled herself in this book. It was not what I expected, no, it was so much more. I loved every single minute of it and I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting. I was captivated, enthralled and so engrossed that by the time I had finished, I needed more. This story is an emotional rollercoaster ride of feelings that don’t let up. There were tears and tantrums, and laughter and that was just me.
Jenny’s life has been turned upside down. She has been left battered and shattered to her very soul. To the core of her being, her essence. Never in her life would she have thought that someone she loved would put her through the hell that she went through. It has left her wondering just who she is now and if she will ever be the same again.
Brian is a hot, sexy, Alpha male and a one and done man. He never lets anyone close. He never knows who wants him for him or for what he has. But he wants her. Just one night. Why is she getting under his skin? He knows something has happened but doesn’t know what. Why does he feel the need to protect her?
I can’t wait to read more from Via as she has now become one of my favourite authors.

To learn to trust again is really difficult. After someone violates you in some form. Jenny is so brave. She didn’t give up. I’m excited to get into another series by this author. I like reading about the characters in the background of other books. Especially characters like Brian. The guy is a complete mystery. I really enjoyed this story and I know the next will be just as good. The characters do a lot of growing in this story. Even with all the tragedy and danger. You see them become better people and come out of their comfort zone. Reviewed by @gguerrero89

Shattered by Via Mari is the first book in the Torial Affair series which also a spin off of the Prestian Series. I highly recommend you read that series first though this can be read as a stand alone.
There is some overlap from the end of the first series time wise but it’s a very different story since we are following Jenny and Brian which I really enjoyed. I liked the different prospective and finding out more details on the trauma Jenny endured and how Brian was involved with protecting her and more.
Jenny moved up my list of amazingly strong female characters quite a bit as I was reading all she has done and experienced at a very young age. After feeling like I knew her as Katerina’s best friend I got to know her as an individual and I’m so glad I did.
We start to see Brian’s carefully placed walls start to crumble the more he learns about Jenny. We also find out what makes him tick, his pain and happiness from childhood and how dominant he really is.
I throughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to get to the next one and see what happens.

Bound The Torzial Affair Book 2 By Via Mari ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ This book is in no way a standalone. This is a continuation to the Torzial Affair suspenseful romance. Mature readers only.
Jenny and Brian’s story continues. Jenny is such a strong woman. Even with all she must indore. Brian has a great stress reliever, in the bedroom. Thankfully she has not only Brian, but a whole team that protect her. As she continues to fight for her life, in and out of the court house.
Via Mari continues to impress me with her writing. Her characters are so likeable, and her story is a real page turner. I was drawn in on page one and yelled on the last page. Her story got so intense as well as Hot in the bedroom. Now I can’t wait for book 3! Well done Via Mari!!

SHATTERED is a spinoff of The Prestian Series and I enjoyed the continuing threads from the first series. I’m not sure I would have been as understanding of it and the complex world surrounding the main characters if I hadn’t read the first series.
The story is written in such a way that I found myself questioning what was going on. I started to side with outsiders for a few minutes because they made a great case (I know this doesn’t make sense, but you will understand it when you read the book). THAT IS THE SIGN OF A GOOD STORY… My wavering faith in the “truth” kept me turning the pages.
There are a lot of characters in this story, both main and secondary, and at times I had to remember who was who and who worked for which company. There is a briskness about the story that made it feel like it was constantly in motion. The story moved along in a way that the end always seemed just around the next corner. This story actually goes to unexpected places.
I look forward to reading the next story in this trilogy.

Many reviews for this book said that the Prestian Series should be read first. I don’t always believe other people. This time I was right. This story can be read without the other series. However, will I go read it? Yes. Yes I will, but only because I like the way this author writes.
Shattered is about Brian and Jenny. I love the commonness of these names. I have read many books where the names are so far-fetched I often wondered if the author just threw letters together. Brian and Jenny meet at a wedding, this is where that other series comes into play. The bride and groom are the main characters from that series. But, again, you really don’t have to know their story. So, Brian and Jenny have an instant attraction and they actually start to act upon it but Jenny has a flash back and ends up running. We later discover why she ran and what was going through her mind. In fact, most of the story is about her healing and learning to trust Brian. Brian wants nothing more to show her new ways to trust him. Of course, it’s not going to be easy. What good relationship is all rainbows and glitter! Especially when the two in the relationship aren’t ready for one.
This book has situations that may cause triggers in some readers. However, it is a good story and while the ending isn’t the greatest, it does make me want to hurry up and one click the next book!

Bound by Via Mari is an incredibly entertaining read! It’s the second book in The Torzial Affair series, a series that should be read in order as this book follows where the first book left off. After reaching the end of Book 1 I couldn’t wait to dive into this book, and I was certainly not disappointed with how this story played out.
This storyline is intense, captivating, addicting, suspenseful, twisted and action-packed! I was hooked from the very first chapter and I ended up reading it in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to put it down. There were so many twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat and had my heart racing which kept me highly engaged the whole way through.
I can’t wait to dive into the third book to get answers to all my questions. I would absolutely recommend this book and series to others!
