My first dark romance! I was a little nervous at first and a little intimidated after seeing the trigger warning list, but I thoroughly enjoyed this! I certainly look forward to the next book in the series.

I’m a huge fan of the use of dual POV in romance books to be able to get both viewpoints. It can definitely make things more sexy. This novel was more heavy on Kira’s point of view than Nathaniel’s but that’s okay.

I went into this not expecting a whole lot of plot and mostly smut but honestly I really felt like I got a good plot line out of it. I was a little bit confused by the 9 wolf thing of the royals that when they morph they are transformed into 9 different wolves, 8 of them being cubs. I had a hard time picturing it personally, but most readers may not have an issue with it whatsoever.

Overall an enjoyable and VERY spicy read. My husband will for sure reap the benefits of reading this one 😉

DNF at 9%

This book just wasn’t for me. It didn’t hold my interest as much as I thought it would. And I wasn’t connected to the characters. Maybe it’s because I just wasn’t in the right mindset to read it. I may come back to it at some point.

Thanks to Net Galley for the advanced reader copy.
This is a high spice, slow burn, age gap romance with elements of magic, and the paranormal.
I found this book to be a really delicious piece of escapism. We meet Kira - a wolf shifter and Nathanial - a Vampire - as Kira is rounded up (by Nathanial of course) for attendance at the Volmasque academy. Kira is a headstrong individual, and Nathanial is no pushover either. Kira’s initial goal is to infiltrate the academy and eventually lead a revolt to upset the power balance between Vampires and Wolf shifters, but to be honest, as we get to know Kira- that is never going to happen. She’s ill informed about vampires, impulsive and not focused on that target. It did kind of bother me for about 8 seconds but then I just decided to enjoy the rest of the story. Nathanial is domineering and ends up claiming her also impulsively. The two negotiate a delightful power dynamic involving revenge, power and possibly love.
I recommend reading the trigger warnings as this is not a book for everyone. It is not intended to be. If it’s for you, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I absolutely loved this book and ended up devouring it in 5 hours. I wasn't sure it was going to be for me initially but my god was I wrong. The plot was amazing, keeps you engaged and the Romance and spice were absokit3 fire. I do recommend you read the trigger warnings before reading this book as it covers a few dark themes that may be unsettling for some readers but this book literally has everything

The relationship between the two main characters was written perfectly, the plot had unexpected twists and turns and pre warning, the cliff hanger at the end of this book has left me desperately seeking the release date of the second installment. Strongly recommend this book to all overs of Dark Romance and Fantasy.

Thank you to @darcyfaytonauthor and @netgalley for allowing me to read and review an early copy

I couldn't finish it. I got to chapter 5 and realized that every other chapter is the same just in a different pov. Probably could've finished the book if this weren't the case but it made the book seem more like a wattpad book

Plug and Claim by Darcy Fayton is such a addictive
book to read.

This book have a high sexual tension, paranormal romance, BDSM, plenty of explicit spicy scenes, family enemy, enemy to lover, suspense, angst, plot twist, heart breaking moments and tears. This book really hooked me up. It is a hate and love at the same time, slow burn but intense, hard and soft romance. I love everything about the BDSM scenes in this book. It got dom and sub, praise and toys, which really make this book more spicy. I almost got a heart attack when it's come to the end of book 1. The last scene are major cliffhanger which make me really desperate to read book 2.

I'll definitely be waiting for more books from Darcy Fayton and I'm really need to read book 2 or else I'm gonna die in a heart attack.

Honestly there's not much I can say about Plug and Claim outside of the fact that is very steamy... Other than that, it wasn't the best

What a nice boy Nathaniel is, what with all his compliments and such.

Could've done without so much squelching, but here we are.

FIX THE THINGS, NAT. THANKS.

Kira has spent years in hiding among the humans but shifts to her wolf form as a plan to be reported to the vampire authorities.

As an act of revenge, she gets herself enrolled at the academy that is run by the Vampire king. Where not only do vampires attend but wolf shifters are trained to be pets to their masters.

“Last chance, pet. I will not ask you again. Will you be good for me?”
Nathaniel is used to always getting what and who he wants. When he meets the strong-willed Kira who won’t easily bow down to him. He has his eyes set on making her his.

“Watch out, Nathaniel. This wolf has fangs.”
Victoria is one of my favorite characters and Nathaniel’s best friend. As the story continues we learn that not only is Nathaniel powerful, but he is so much more.

“My dear pet…over the coming days, I will show you exactly how a vampire prince claims his wife. In the meantime, your body will make for good practice.”

From obsession, determination, revenge, and desire.

Can Kira get the wolf packs to gain control back from the vampires? Will Nathaniel continue to follow in his father’s footsteps?

I loved this book and devoured it in a couple of hours! That cliffhanger was brutal! I need the second book already!🔥🔥

Thank you, Darcy Fayton and Netgalley for this EARC! As always, my review is my opinion and thoughts. This review will be shared on my Instagram @Alexandriavwilliams_ shortly.

The heroine seems weak minded. She decides she going to resist and she doesn’t. Decides she going to endure everything for the sake of her original plan and then she doesn’t. I know it’s supposed to be as though he’s just that irresistible but she just comes across as weak. The whole sock thing is weird.

So I really was hoping to give this more stars. The description really reeled me in. However, after reading I just feel I didnt like the FMC.

She is supposed to be getting revenge and making moves. But it felt 70% of the book is him "training his pet " and she just does it. Like I get getting close to the enemy and stuff but her plan and her actions to get her goal isnt touch on enough in this book.

I liked the MMC. He had layers to him. He had the bad guy/ good guy going that I feel was done well. He does a lot of horrible things but then does something nice or you learn about a nice thing he has done that makes you go "aw he isnt completely bad" Or maybe its just my love for vampires!

So overall, i feel very little ground was made in this book for my liking. But hey this might be a 10 books series in the works. I DID appreciate the ending and that bomb what was dropped. Well done there.

*I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.*

This enemies-to-lovers story was hard to put down! While I am not always a fantasy reader, I love dark romance and this story captured my attention and kept me enraptured the whole way through. If I didn't have a toddler to keep up with, I would have read this in one sitting.

I want to rate this 3.75/5 but am rounding it up since that isn't an option.

The beginning of this book was a bit difficult to get into as I felt the way we were introduced to Kiras character and her behaviour didn't quite sync however it made more sense as the book went on.

The world building isn't vast which is fine as this isn't a high fantasy novel, each part of the world building is done simply and explained well even though I do wish we had been given a better opportunity to fully understand about the Revolution.

The main characters seem to be well fleshed out and I enjoyed the interactions with the side characters, hopefully we'll see more of them in the coming novels because I absolutely adore the girls.

I tried to read this book it has such good bones, and the story line is really good it just was not a book for me. I ended up DNFing it. I think if you're into vampires and werewolf's it will be a really good book for you. I just did not really care for Nathaniel I wanted to so bad it was just his personality for me. I am going to try to read it again after a little while because I do not like DNFing books but as of right now it just was not for me. The author has amazing skills though am going to read some of her other books and come back to this one.

Thank you Darcey and Netgalley for the chance to read this book for an honest review.

I rate this an easy 4.5⭐️
The plot was great and the story hooks you from the start. I would of liked a little more but I’m hoping a lot of the secrets will reveal themselves properly in the 2nd book we did get a feel for some at the end.

The secondary characters sissies, victors and felix complimented the main characters so well, also hoping to see more of them in the next book.

My only dislike about this book was the cover. I know the saying is don’t judge a book by it’s cover and this is definitely a perfect example of this. But I feel this cover could of been so much better it doesn’t draw me in I would normally scroll past this. This might be just me but it doesn’t take away how well written this book is.

Looking forward to the next instalment

Honestly 1 am a bit conflicted, the beggining was a bit too much. Nathaniel was not coming as expected. All the threats were a bit much. Honestly until probably 75% of the book I wasn’t sure this was going to be better than 3 stars. However the plot got better a got to learn a lot more about Nathaniel.

That cliffhanger was insane, cannot wait for book two.

DNF at 40% and nothing to do with triggers or sex, it just felt too childish for me, they are all meant to be over 18 but felt like sweet valley high with sex, not for me

This was in fact very steamy, and dark romance. And wow I was so happy when there was actually a plot along with it. The next book in this series I can only imagine being just as spicy. If you are looking for a BDSM smut book this is your book.

I really enjoyed this book, the first part of the Plug and Claim duology. We're introduced to a world where wolf shifters must attend an academy ruled by vampires. At the beginning, we meet Kira, a wolf shifter, who Nathaniel, a vampire, comes to take to the academy and teach obedience. I instantly liked Nathaniel because, despite being fascinated by Kira, he remained a dark and cynical vampire. I loved the exchanges between the main characters. The world is well-crafted, and the writing style is really pleasant to read. I expected a bit more 'dark' in dark romance, but the spice makes up for it. I give it a 4/5 because some aspects bothered me, like the constant mention of Kira's virginity or her change in behavior after the first setback. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the second volume!

Kira, a wolf shifter, has one goal and its revenge for her people and her family. Determined to succeed, she intentionally gets captured by the vampires in order to infiltrate the Volmasque Academy in search of a wolf pact to help further her revenge. Volmasque Academy is known for teaching wolf shifters to be subservient to vampires in the bedroom and in life. Nathaniel, a vampire, ends up claiming Kira and sets off to tame her but Kira is headstrong. With their constant need to challenge each other their feelings get complicated.

“Plug and Claim” by Darcy Fayton was so spicy. It was so spicy however that I didn’t actually care about the main story plot until the last 40 pages. It was really good though if you like super erotic books with enemies to lovers, dark romance, BDSM, Dom/Sub, degrading kinks, paranormal, and age gaps. I got the feeling during reading though that the story line will be more important in the second book then it was in the first book, which I felt was set up more for character development. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars.
