Claiming What's His by A.M. McCoyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The first chapter began in the past, with Cora finding herself in a difficult situation that would break her heart and have her breaking up with her long-time boyfriend, Maverick. Fast forward into the future and Cora is trying to land a new job which so happens to be for Mav, the boyfriend from the past. Maverick was holding a bit of a grudge, but in my opinion, he didn’t have the right and should’ve worked harder to make it up to Cora.
Mav quickly learned that Cora’s life was not as simple as he had believed, and it became clear to him where her path had led. Cora faced significant challenges in establishing her own path in life; however, her strength and determination enabled her to overcome these obstacles successfully. Her family were not the nicest and were solely focused on belittling Cora and getting what they wanted from her. I valued how dependable Mav and Cora’s support system was, along with their willingness to help exactly when it mattered most.

Ten years ago, I was eighteen and cut off by my family for breaking up with a boy that broke my heart. A boy that I’d been dating for ten years, who just happened to be from one of the most prestigious families in all of New York.
My parents tried to blackmail me into begging him to take me back, but I’d refused, so they chose power and their snobby social circle over me. And I’d been on my own, barely able to survive for the last decade as a result.
But that was all going to change, because I landed the job of a lifetime, and I was finally going to claw my way out of the sewers of New York City and make something of myself.
At least, that had been my grand plan until I walked into my new boss’s office and found out that the alpha billionaire that ran the incredible empire, I’d been so eager to join, was no other than the boy that I never got over.
And not only did the electricity still burn blindingly bright between us, but it turned out I was still incapable of turning him down when he said things like, You’re Mine.
