Just when I think I have my favorite character from one of Lucian Bane's books, he goes and creates Dante. Oh this book is so full of sigh worthy moments and I mean in a good, hot, fantastic, sizzling and heart melting way! In Lucian Bane fashion he goes and leaves you with a cliffy like no other. However this is a weekly series so I need not wait too much longer thank the heavens for that. Bravo Lucian for another well done book. And for creating yet another hero for all of us to swoon over!

Ok I have to say... "Wow does Lucian Bane know how to write a love scene.. not just a love scene but one that drips of hot sexual energy that makes your heart speed up and feeling like you are on fire!" Hot, Hot, Hot!
I feel this story is about surviving, about finding who you truly are... Rin, a woman who wants nothing more than love, who doesn't want to be seen as weak anymore. Dante, a man who, even after everything he's been through, is the most compassionate, loving and giving man. Together they are finding that true meaning of two people becoming as one. Their way. This is certainly not just a sweet story, there are struggles and hurts along the way. Dante is trying to find answers, connecting the dots of some passed horrible crimes, when he finally does, will their world collide? Will this change their lives forever? Damn.. #needingmoreofthisfreakingfantasticstory!

Watch me grow...
Always the humor....totally LOVE the humor Lucian adds to his writing....I think it's what I actually look forward to most after the story, of course. Where will he inject some funny moment because I already know that I TOTALLY LOVE his storytelling; his writing is second to none. It's always, always, always captivating! As much as I might love another writer, Lucian's books ... just does it for me.
This book opens up right where we left off...Dante and Rin are laying low and doing it in Sacramento. They also visit memory lane as they learn more of each other's past. Rin is blossoming, she's finding herself, a self she was never allowed to be when she was with Daryl. Watching Rin's continued growth has been an experience.
And Dante...what a man he is. A romantic at heart....a deep down care for Rin. He's generally just sexy as hell. As Rin begins to assert her new self we see the effects on Dante, as well as the after effects...
A few new characters get introduced in this installment ...what role did they play in Dante's life, and how will these people effect his future, his future with Rin? Well, that is yet to be seen...oh, and yes, there is a classic Lucian Bane cliffy.

Question: How do you write a review for Part Four of a series that is completely blowing your mind and is continuing to get better and better with each instalment?
Answer: When you finish the book, you put it down, walk away from it and allow your mind to consume all that you have read over the next 20 or so hours. That's how.
Lucian Bane has written an another installment in the Claw Series that should be extremely proud of. The pace from the very beginning is like going from 0 to 60 at the start of a Formula 1 Grand Prix race and it never ceases.From one hotel room, to a friend's house, to a nightclub and to another hotel room, Lucian keeps his readers hooked and on a wild ride of hot steamy sex, passion, understanding and growth by both Rin and Dante.
I read this book to my husband, as I have every other in the series, his comment during one particular scene was "F##k, this man knows how to describe!" To impress my husband like this is huge - so Mr Bane you are definitely doing something right!!!!!
What I really enjoyed about this installment was the emergence of Rin from the world in which she was raised. Her emotions are truly starting to shine. Tired of being considered fragile, Rin begins to take personal control of her emotions - something she has never had. We begin to witness anger, sassiness and a little bit of self-confidence.
Rin's bathroom scene was a classic - one that will stand the test of time!! It was hilarious!!! Never have I read a scene like that before. Tears were flowing. Then Dante's reaction to what occurred was absolutely priceless.
FRODOS!!! I will say no more. But god that was F##KING AWESOME!!!!! Dante's self-punishment was brilliant - I just don't know how he lasted that long!!! and his light bulb moment was superb.
THIS SERIES IS A MUST READ!!!! MAGNIFICENT AND IT'S ONLY GETTING BETTER!!!!!
Roll on Book Five.

I think my kindle is still sizzling after reading Claw 4!!!
In this installment you get into Dante and Rin's past some more to really understand how this has shaped the way they see themselves and how they have grown. Lucian is a master at developing these characters more and more and with that, pulling you deeper into the story.
This ever complicated developing relationship reaches new levels. Rin is exposed to life outside her sheltered world and even is introduced to people from Dante's life some good some maybe not so much....
The love scenes are crazy hot and and you can feel Dante and Rin's love and emotions jumping off the page and sticking in your head.
With the cliff that Lucian leaves us hanging off of by our fingertips it is good it will only be a week till the next book!!!

When a book can make you laugh out loud!!!!!
Quote,,,,,Where did I take you ?" Well, it was kind if fast and I didn't get a good look around. I think we need to visit there again real soon so I can draw a map to it.
I don't think Dante will need that map!!
This is the 4th book in this series. This one focused more on Rin and Dante's relationship and meeting his friends. Nothing knew was learned I thought. BUT,,, it's sexy, belly laughing and a deeper connection to the main characters. And some new crazy characters!!!

All I want to say right now is.....Lucian, you blew me away!!! OMG!!! FIRST, I'M A TOTAL BAD ASS. SECOND, I'M A TOTAL BAD ASS. THIRD, HOT DAMN!!! CAN THIS BOOK GET ANY HOTTER??? CAN RIN BECOME MORE BOLD?? THE ENDING.....EEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!! THE MORE I READ, THE MORE I WANT!! I ALWAYS THINK....OK IT CAN'T GET ANY BETTER, NOPE IT CANT, BUT THEN WOW I'M COMPLETELY FLABBERGASTED. *SIGH*
June 26, 2016
So HOT Lucian !!! Rin is finally gaining some confidence in herself, and Dante is just "The fucking MAN" , LOVE HIM !!!! Ready for more of this insane hotness Lucian ! Loved it!
June 27, 2016
This series keeps getting better and better! Rin and Dante are electrifying! Lucian continues to make stories that are amazingly hot and that have heart.
I don’t want to give any spoilers but I must say the bathroom scene with Rin had me cringing and laughing all at the same time. What woman hasn’t had that type of thought about her, sorry for the term here but, “lady parts?” And the closet scene was beyond a scorcher! I’m surprised my bed didn’t catch on fire when I was reading it!
What I truly enjoyed seeing is Rin beginning to show her emotions regarding her life. She is starting to open up emotionally and I am eager to see how her transformation continues in this series.
Lucian Bane continues to amaze me with his unique brand of storytelling. You get so absorbed with his words before you know it the book is done and you desperately want more. Looking forward to book 5 and to see how the mystery behind Daryl, his church and Tin Tin begins to come to light.

Lucian does it again! This book starts out full speed ahead, and keeps going to the very end! There's no slow build up here, the book opens with Rin dealing with her past, and coming to terms with the guilt, anger and betrayal she feels from her marriage to Daryl. She's realized that Dante has shown her that she has value as a person, and how a husband should treat a wife. I love this quote she said to Dante..."I think...maybe you are the key to me? I feel...unlocked and free and full of life."
I loved seeing Rin open up and discover her inner strength!
There was humor, watching Rin change her look! There was conflict, when Rin comes face to face with an ex from Dantes past! And there was steamy resolution as Rin and Dante deal with the past, and get ready to deal with the future! Hot stuff!! We also got to meet a couple of new characters...loved meeting Dantes old friend Jo!! I can't wait for next week to see where Lucian takes us next!

You know those stories that grab you and take control of your mind, body, and soul holding you captive until you finish every word? Yeah this series keeps doing that. With each new installment I find myself unable to put them down until I have done just that. Each new unraveling of the tale hooking me as the twists and turns take me on one heck of a glorious ride. The beauty in the developing of the lead character Rin is truly something amazing to watch. Throw in Dante and his powerful yet caring way he builds Rin and there is no way you can't not fall in love with this story and these characters. You did it masterfully again Mr. Bane now I wait for more.
June 27, 2016
Loved the emotion in this book. This is definitely a hot read. I can't wait for the next book. The story just keeps getting better.
June 27, 2016
I was not ready for this book to end! Lucian Bane does know how to suck you into a book! He also, knows how to end a book so that you have to keep on reading to find out what will happen next. Thankfully these books have been coming out every week so the wait shouldn’t be too terribly long. These books are Novella's which can be the perfect size to fit in between other books to read.
The other thing that Lucian Bane does well is he knows how to make his books smoking hot! You can only buy this series on Gum Road and here is the link: https://gumroad.com/lucianbane there are a few other books there besides the Claw Series as well. I will certainly be buying the next book in this series. Now come on Lucian can you publish a few days early? ;)

How do you do that Lucian Bane? How do you take me right to that place where your characters live and invite me to watch and listen without interfering? How is it that my senses become totally connected to the people you write about? I don't know the answers, but please, just keep doing it!
So many of the scenes in this book were so intimate and so passionate that I could actually feel the love between Dante and Rin deepening. One scene that I adore, which took place after a session of intense sharing, epitomizes that life-changing love they are experiencing. "I’m sorry, Princess. About all of it. I’m going to give it all back and more, every second he stole from your beautiful soul and life. You believe that, right?” He held her face, searching her eyes. She nodded and fought back a sob. She did know. And she wanted to help him do that. She wanted to do the same for him. She suddenly realized she needed to protect him just as much as he wanted to protect her." *SIGH*. ❤️. Oh, and I swear I could feel the heat they were radiating, too. There are some real scorching scenes I must say! Have your fans ready!!
So, what else did I love about this part of the continuing story of Claw? I love the pace at which Lucian is advancing the story. He slows time down at just the right place to let the reader experience those moments where Rin and Dante are becoming aware of their feelings and circumstances and sharing their thoughts of what they need to do, but keeps the plot moving forward by introducing new characters and situations. And of course Lucian gives us our HOLY SH*T moment at the end and we are left desperately needing the next book! Well played *she says snidely*.

I'm sort if stunned at this point. Mr. Bane has turned up the heat dial considerably in book 4. And there are lots of feelings happening, sort of a foreshadow I think of not nice things to come. I can't help but think the shit is about to hit the fan. Ending to chapter one is the best ever, panty melting moments and I laughed out loud. I got some weird looks from the husband in the drivers seat on the way home. Ahem, I cannot be held responsible for the expressions that may or may not have appeared on my face while reading book 4.
June 29, 2016
PASSIONATE - that is the only word that I can use to describe how Lucian Bane writes. This story about Dante and Rin and her horrible, horrible husband has brought forth such powerful emotions that can only be brought about through PASSIONATE writing. Dante and Rin's relationship evolves even further in this book and the plot thickens in regards to her husband and his positively evil ways. Claw 4 introduces a bit of Dante's past and Rin displays decisive action that moves you to cheer her on. Well done! Sad that there are only two more installments. 5 out of 5 stars.
June 27, 2016
OMG I love this series, it definitely needs more than 5*, the connection Dante and Rin have is beautiful.
Rin is coming out of her shell more in this book, and Dante is loving every minute of it.
They meet up with some of Dante's friends where they need to lay low for a while, but amongst his friends is an ex of Dante's who doesn't want to be an Ex.
This makes Rin feel interior and jealous, she goes out to show him just what he can have, if only he would just get on with it.
Lucian left this book on a cliff hanger, luckily part 5 is out next week, so not long to wait, that's the beauty of this series, a new book has been released every week. ( thank goodness)

Wonderfully descriptive and thought provoking, this series just keeps getting better and better. It was great to see Rin finally emerging from the sheltered life she had led and embrace Dante's teachings. I'm sure my kindle nearly exploded with excitement as Dante and Rin's relationship progressed to new heights. Together with the suspense of the wrong doings at the church that Rin attended, book four is an incredible read and I can't wait for book 5!
June 30, 2016
WOW! Claw 4 Once you start reading you will not stop the passion and the jealousy will make you sit up and wish #5 and #6 book was written so you could see how Dante and Rin's future holds up. Will her husband find them? Will Dante's ex cause more trouble? State tuned for #5 Lucian Bane has done it again!! Exceptional!!!

Dante and Rin continue their journey of healing and transformation in this edition of Claw (#4) starting with a physical transformation for Rin which will make you both laugh and say "Oh NO!". Let me just say that Rin's first foray with a self make-over doesn't turn out quite how she envisioned. It is very good that Dante (via Mr. Banes steamy, visual-creating, page-melting wording of a hell of a sexy scene) makes sure that she doesn't worry about it for long.
From there the couple go to Dante's friends home and things take a turn, cringe-worthy happenings occur and yet in spite of (or because of, I can't decide which) Rin starts to become a woman of reckoning. Knowing what she wants and taking those first steps toward feeling her power. A power Dante very much feeds.
As usual Lucian Bane turns up the heat, throws some surprises and leaves you speechless. You will devour every word. You will NEED to get the next edition because these characters will lodge themselves in your head and wont let go. Is it Tuesday yet?
