Mine to Claim

A Dark MM Age Gap Romance (Wasteland Temptations, Book 1)

By: E.V. Olsen

Narrated by: Tim Paige

One night together. That's it. Except letting go isn't an option anymore.

New day. New town. New temptation.

I prowl the wastelands of this post apocalyptic world solo, a lone wolf.

When I find him, a scrappy young man with fire in his eyes, my hunger stirs.

That defiant gaze challenges me.

I thought I'd wander alone, but claiming this fierce boy?

I wasn't prepared for that.

But when two wild souls collide, you surrender.

You take.

And you don't let go.

So that's what I do, regardless of our age gap.

I make him mine...

In every way.

Grab this steamy M/M dark short story romance set in a post apocalyptic world, featuring an alpha hero, an age-gap romance, and plenty of V-card fun and praise.

What is this

This was a quick read. The setting of the story threw me for a loop. Only because I wasn’t excepting it. I thought it flowed well. Give enough back story that it didn’t feel rushed. Seems relatable for being that time frame it was in. I enjoyed this.

WOW!!

i really loved getting the opportunity to listen to this! it was such a good listen, the narrator did an amazing job. i’ve really liked this series since i read it and this audio did it justice!

I JUST WISH IT WAS LONGER!!

his was novella yes I understand that but it was like as soon as the story was starting to unfold it ended.. I just wish it would have had a little more behind the story I gave it 3 stars simply because it was NOT long enough. The narrator for the audiobook did a fantastic job though! The premise of the story also was super interesting and again just wish it was longer.

Fantastic Dystopian MM Romance with Stellar Narration!

Mine to Claim is the first audiobook in E.V. Olsen’s Wasteland Temptations series and is my first book by this author. I am quite sure it will not be my last, though. This MM dystopian novella was surprisingly in depth for such a short story. It’s insta-love for sure (okay, maybe more insta-lust), but doesn’t feel forced or rushed at all and gives a good overview of this new dystopian universe. And the new and evolving relationship between Rex and Devon is equal parts sweet and spicy. I loved everything about this story and can’t wait to see how this series plays out in future books. The solo narration by Tim Paige is absolutely fantastic! He does an excellent job of voicing both the older, caring yet possessive loner, Rex, and the younger, inexperienced, and beautifully-bratty Devon. He flawlessly captures the personalities of both men, making it instantly clear to the listener which character is speaking. Between the wonderful story and the stellar narration, any fan of MM romance will surely love this little gem of an audiobook.

Mine to Claim is the first book in the Wasteland Temptation series. This is a dystopian, MM spicy romance. Rex has been on his own for many years. He rarely has interactions with other people. Since the virus took out most people years ago, life is not easy. There are very few things people can trade with, most commonly their bodies is the only thing. One day a young eighteen year old man tried to rob him. Declan had been watching Rex. This is a fast paced and super spicy book. Can’t wait for more from this series.

Tim Paige did a fantastic job narrating this book.
