SUMMER'S BOOK BLOGHis To Claim is an erotic novella series by Opal Carew comprising of six short stories, all six must be read in order to get the full story. I highly recommend that you read His To Possess first because that is where all the characters first appear and reading it will you give you a much deeper understanding and greater appreciation of Rafe and Melanie. Melanie is Rafe's former secretary who left her job for a few reasons including the very strong feelings she had developed for her boss. Rafe is a sexy rock musician who also happens to be a billionaire CEO, once Melanie quits Rafe is finally able to see her in a different way. She is no longer just his employee she is a woman who is seeking to explore her wild side and circumstances align to send them on a wild ride of lust and possibly love.As with all her other novels I bow down to Opal Carew and her amazing abilities to write captivating, addictive and scorching hot erotic fiction. I first fell in love with Rafe in His To Possess and was secretly hoping that he and Melanie would somehow find a way to get together. When I first saw the blurb for this novel I was beyond excited and His To Claim lived up to all of my wildest fantasies! This book manages to combine many hot fantasies, sexy rock musicians, boss and secretary and even a deliciously sexy foursome. This story is so much more than just erotica, of course it has intense passion, panty melting sex scenes and sexy men and women but it also has an interesting plot line, drama, emotion and terrific, well developed characters. That is why I love Opal Carew, her books can't be put into one category, they are erotica, romance and drama all rolled into one engrossing story. Rafe is an amazing character, he is complex and interesting. He is tortured by some things in his past and he has trouble allowing himself to explore certain sexual fantasies but works his way through them. Rock stars are my favorite fantasy characters and he is perfect, Rafe is the ideal sexy, tattooed, motorcycle riding rock star! I also enjoyed Melanie's character, she is set off on a journey of self exploration and with the help of Rafe begins to find herself not just sexually but also who she really is. The reader will enjoy watching their relationship progress as they both work toward self discovery all the while having mind blowing sexual encounters. Once I started I wasn't able to put this novel down until I finished, the conclusion was perfect and not traditional which was exactly as it should be for these interesting characters. After some angst and some self exploration Rafe and Melanie work things out and find their happily ever after.
