My Review of Tame By A.J. Llewellyn

Tame 
by A. J. Llewellyn 
ISBN-13: 978-1-61124-192-1 (Electronic)

Cavan Carmichael has just transferred to LAPD from rural Oregon. It's Halloween and he's expecting...well, the unexpected, since it's the time of spooky things, and this is LA, after all. Nobody, however, could have predicted an animal abuse call that turns out to reveal a beaten, chained-up man in a garden shed.

Then comes the words that Cavan knows will haunt him for life: "Don't worry, I'm tame."

Cavan rescues the man who, underneath the bruises and blood, is very handsome. And mysterious. Nothing about the stranger adds up. Nothing he says makes sense. For every medical test the doctors perform, only more questions arise. When Ludo, as he insists he be called, is admitted to the hospital, he has grievous injuries inflicted by a despicable assailant via antique torture instruments.

Unbelievably, Ludo's injuries heal fast and Cavan, who visits the recuperating man, is astonished to find he is attracted and protective of the man. But can Cavan overlook the oddities, such as bristles under the man's tongue? The strange wolf hairs in his wounds? Is the most beautiful man Cavan has ever seen really...tame? 

Cavan has not only an unusual name but an unusual family. His mother a retired cop picked up an unusual collecting habit that has left him and his sister scratching their heads. Add on an unusual call leading to the finding a man named Ludo chained abused and bleeding in a shed on an animal abuse call. What do you say to a man who is broken, bloodied, abused and incredibly sexy when he says “don’t worry I’m tame”? The Answer to all those questions takes you through a Wonder Book Called Tame By AJ Llewellyn.  

This is AJ’s first attempt at a werewolf tale and I can honestly say that I hope like hell that there are more to follow. Ludo and Cavan are realistic characters who are believable, down to earth and relatable. If I didn’t know that this was a work of fiction I would have easily thought that they were real people. I have noticed with all of His works (even the ones he has co-wrote) AJ goes above and beyond to make his characters believable and relatable.  Tame is no different. Cavan is a slightly broken man trying to pick up the pieces to his broken life only to be thrusted into something bigger than him. His family is nuts and this is relatable come on let’s be honest we all have friends and family who are nutters or do nutty things. However I would like to point out that I personally think AJ watches Way to Much of Hoarders.

Without giving to much away I can say that every little thing that happenes and doesn’t happen is relative to the story. Tame like so many of AJ’s books leaves you wanting more.  Tame is a breathtakingly haunting story about finding your way in a crazy world and being ok with it. It’s about finding love in the most inconvenient of places (hmmm PLOT idea for DJ’s Next Inconvenient Love Novel). But mostly I think its about believing in the unbelievable and understanding the things in life that are sometimes hard to understand.

On my Erect Peni Scale of 1-10 Tame deserves 10 erect Peni and a cold shower warning. Even though there isn’t as much HOT Steamy Sex in this shorter story… What is there Is HOT as Hell and leave you in need of a cold shower.

On my Need to Have scale (remember 1 is it can wait till payday and 10 sell the kids) this is a 10... Sell the kids (furry or real) this is a Must read!!

On a side note I would like to mention that this is one of many books in a collection of shorts for Halloween Called Howling at the Moon. There are some AWESOME writers that I have had the pleasure of reading before. You can find the whole Collection here http://www.amberquill.com/AmberAllure/AP_HowlingAtMoon2011.html

Amber Quill is an Awesome Publisher because they not only Release the Anthology they release the singles at the same time. That way you don’t have to read someone you don’t know HOWEVER I WANT TO HIGHLY Suggest to all my Readers to get the whole series. The writers are TOP notch and all deserve a shout out. 

My Review of Come By Chance By AJ Llewellyn

Click Here to Buy

When photographer’s assistant Gary Holland meets three Australian underpants models—all called Bruce—on what should be a routine shoot in LA, it turns out to be anything but. He falls for the geekiest, yet sexiest, Bruce of them all, but soon learns Bruce has not only never been with another man but is an anxious virgin. 

Bruce lives in the whimsically named town of Come By Chance in northern New South Wales, population 178. After a torrid fling starts in California, Bruce wants Gary to visit him in the land down under. Shocks, laughter, love, a shy kangaroo named Phillip, a goose called Zeus and a tractor that thinks it’s a horse, soon welcome Gary to a life he never thought he’d want to live. Can two men who are such opposites make a life together? Does love like this really…come by chance?

When I first saw the title of AJ’s New book Come By Chance.. My First thought was OHHHHHHH AJ’s writing something Dirty!!! I got excited well more than I normally do lol… Anyways when I finally sat down to read it I realized Our Aussie writer was taking us in a trip down Memory lane. Come By Chance is a Town in Australia... Actually the book took me down a stroll of memories because he talked about places Like a Thrift shop called St. Vincent DePaul’s.  Growing up in Syracuse NY we had many of them around and often got some of the apartments we lived in as kids furnished by them.  I loved this story. The Inspiration for it came from Good Reads and I was thrilled to see that he expanded on the original and once again AJ didn’t disappoint. Come By Chance is as hot and sexy as any of his others.

The story picks up after AJ’s Original story. Gary has packed up and traveled from Sunny Warm California to the Hot Humid country of Australia. Gary is sitting in an airport waiting for Bruce A Hot Hung Aussie who’s down to earth and geek who has turned Gary’s quiet life upside down. Bruce is keeping some secrets and the smart geeky Aussie might need to let go of his fears of being a poof and openly embrace the gay man that he is. They share some hot sex all over Australia and finally go home to Come By Chance just in time for the Come By Chance Picnic races; to meet a shy Kangaroo named Philip and realize that love sometimes comes by chance.

Like all AJ Novels you come to expect Sex... This book doesn’t disappoint. Not only does this book rate a 100 on my Erect Peni scale I have to give this book an A++++++ for just the sheer beauty that is the land down other. I learned so much about Oz (except why it’s called OZ *note the Hint there AJ*) that it’s now on my top ten places I want to see before I die. Thanks AJ *giggles*

This is another Must Have Book of AJ’s and on my scale of 1-10 (1 being it can wait for Payday and 10 being SELL THE KIDS (furry and other) and BUT this book) this book is a 10!!! You need to pawn the Children and get this book!!!!!!

My Review Of Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope

By A.J. Llewellyn

ISBN-13: 978-1-61124-159-4 (Electronic)

http://www.amberquill.com/AmberAllure/Kaleidoscope.html

Teddy Bardin Marries Aususte, whom he thought was the man of his dreams, and to start a new life with his husband, he moved from New York in Paris, the city of light. Now, on a rainy afternoon, a life- shattering telephone call arrives, and Teddy learns that Auguste has been in a car accident.

After racing to the hospital to visit his stricken husband, Teddy is in for another emotional shock --- listed among Auguste’s injuries is a nearly severed penis. It comes as an even bigger surprise when Teddy learns that Auguste was with another man who was orally pleasuring him at the moment of impact. And that’s only the beginning in a series of heartbreaking discoveries.

Teddy quickly comes to realize he must make some tough decisions about his future, especially about his marriage and unfaithful husband… and also his growing obsession with Pierre, the other important man in Auguste’s life…

Teddy is a loveable, honest genuine person who truly cares about those closest to him. When he arrives at the hospital and finds out that his husband Aususte has cheated on him it is like his world is ripped out from under him and he flounders for only a moment. In a display that I can honestly say is inspirational he picks himself up and gathers information for himself when he realizes that those closest to him are now hiding things from him. Packing himself up Teddy moves on and starts the pain for path of putting one foot in front of the other and move on with is life. He feels that for him the best way to do this is to confront Pierre the person thinks is the cause of all his issues and the reason for his destroyed marriage. Only to Find that is not the case and finds out sometimes the best and most beautiful Kaleidoscope in life is found not in what you think you have but in the little things most people don’t see.

Pierre is a hard working Waiter who had dreams of grander things. His dangerous love for a man who he has had an on again off again relationship with ends when he nearly severs Aususte’s penis off in a motor vehicle accident Furthering harming an injury cause when Pierre tried to end his life. When a not so change meeting with the man who was married to his lover and an accident at work cause both Pierre and Teddy to realize that love really is a Kaleidoscope… And sometimes the best things in life can be found in the worse ways.

Kaleidoscope was honestly one of the most heartwarming novels I have read recently. AJ have again shown us sometimes true love can be found in the smallest of places and come out of the worst things in the world. Teddy and Pierre inspired me to believe in true love, love at first sight and just the beauty of the littlest things. These two people met through the worst possible way. And Teddy Sadly was played by people he thought card for him. Yet through it all he stayed true to his patients and himself and moved on and found the love he wanted all along.

On my Erect Peni scale of 1-10 for sexual hotness I will give it a 10 still… Even though this isn’t AJ’s normal brand of sexy hot man love The tenderness and creative use of flavored lube still makes it HOT!!!!

On my Must have scale of 1-10 Kaleidoscope is a MUST READ and a MUST HAVE!!!!!

This is truly a short story worth the Read!

My Review of The Camino By AJ Llewellyn

The Camino

By : A. J. Llewellyn  | Other books by A. J. Llewellyn

Published By : eXtasy Books

ISBN # : 978-1-55487-947-2

                              

Excerpt:

Antonio, a California seminarian meets the man of his dreams during a walking tour of Spain. Little does he know...handsome Jeb is a storm demon?

Each year thousands of people make a spiritual journey called The Camino, an ancient walk through Europe, crisscrossing through France, Portugal and Spain. For two very different men, the trip has special dangers and attractions. Antonio is one step away from becoming a transitional deacon, the final phase before becoming a priest, but feels his newfound desire for other men violates his chosen vocation.

 His nighttime dreams reveal a man he is passionate about, but to his amazement, he looks just like Jeb, a very handsome, mysterious man who is questioning things in his own life. How can Antonio be in love with someone who worships evil? And why is Jeb walking the path of The Camino?

Antonio is lovable, likable and very much like many people in this world trying to find his way in a world that doesn’t always accept people different than themselves. In other words he is struggling with his sexuality. He knows that he is gay but he doesn’t know how god could love him because of it so he takes a vacation... His quest to find himself leads him to discover that sometimes Evil doesn’t come in the form you think it does nor is Evil always what you expect it to be.

Jeb in life was a special person who loved God and family. For those reasons he bargained with the devil. However being a storm demon and watcher turn out to be harder than expected and Jeb learns that even his bargain with Satan himself couldn’t erase the beautiful nature within himself he can no longer see. When he is punished for interfering in something he was forbidden to interfere with so as punishment he is dumped latterly into the middle of The Running of the Bulls on Spain. No money, No Identification Jeb wanders around until he finds the one person he would give his life to protect.

Love, Lust, Danger, a horny angel and revelations surround Jeb and Antonio can they untangle all the lies and find their happily ever after???  I’m not going to tell you!!!!!!! Go get the Book and Find out….

Like all of AJ’s books The Camino pulled me in and wouldn’t let me go until I finished it.  Again he takes up to beautiful forgotten places that truly leave you longing to visit... I know that now some time in my life I want to walk the Camino and have a life changing pilgrimage myself.  Honestly The Camino is on my list of books that have changed my life… AJ has a way to really latch on and show us a person’s struggle and make us feel it as deeply as if it was our own struggle. This is truly a master piece and a book I think AJ should truly be proud of.

The Camino seemed shorter that normal for AJ (this could be because it was a page turner and I couldn’t nor would I put it down and I am a mom of 4 wonderful little heathens) If I could recommend a starter book if your New to AJ’s writing this would be one other my top 3. The Sex is hot but the story itself is hotter. Over all like most of my reviews of AJ’s books it’s a Keeper! I can’t help it He honestly cannot writer a bad book.

On my Erect Peni Scale of 1-10 for Sex and Overall Hotness I have to give it a 10!!! This is one I recommend a cold shower and no panties for... Hell if you can read it naked in a cold bath tub.

On my scale of Overall Must have I have to rate this at a MUST MUST MUST have. On a Scale of 1-10 Again a 10... Get this book if you haven’t!!!!!

In closing I want to say that The Camino is not only a wonderful book to read I highly suggest looking into checking out the real Camino and having a life altering experience for the mind body and Soul.

My Review of Pele's Fire By AJ Llewellyn

Pele’s Fire by: A.J. Llewellyn

Description Kimo Wilder, Honolulu’s hottest kahuna, longs for the simple life. He adores his husband, Lopaka, and their three rambunctious children, but sometimes he dreams of peace and quiet. When he and Lopaka watch Ferris Buellers Day Off on TV, Kimo becomes obsessed with taking it easy. He longs to relax, think about nothing more than having sex with Lopaka and eating candy. He reckons he could have been a swell fry cook on Venus…only Goddess Pele has other ideas. After a frightening dream in which Kimo glimpses how his life would be had he never met Lopaka, he eases up on his workload and takes his husband out on a date to a local movie theater. It’s not something they normally do, neither is it a place they’ve frequented before. They encounter some unusual ghosts, which everybody but Lopaka can see and a haunting that, well…challenges all of Kimo’s notions of having a vacation…

Pele’s Fire is the 16^th book in A.J Llewellyn’s Phantom Lover Series and I have to say I was tickled pink when I found out that Kimo and Lopaka where coming back in a book all their own. I Love that AJ has a spin off series (called Children of the Rainbow) But DAMN IT I WANT MY KIMO and LOPAKA!!! AJ doesn’t disappoint in this new Book Kimo leaves us asking What happens when the world’s best hula dancer obsessed with 80’s Movies Like Ferris Buellers Day off, Bonbons and wants a quiet summer vacation?

Kimo yearns for a simple life... Campy 80’s movies, bonbons, peace and quiet from super natural things and a lot of hot, steamy, dirty sex with his husband Lopaka and binding time with their children. What he gets on their very first date night in ages is a super natural handful of mischief and mayhem.  Ghosts from the past invade the present and some wrongs need to be put right. With Pele their daughter and some intervention from the goddess Pele herself Our Dynamic duo are thrusted into a never ending sea of children, mischief and mayhem. Only to learn that sometimes you really need to be careful of what it is you wish for because you never know what Pele will give you.

Now on my Erect Peni Scale of 1-100 (I had to up my scale again) I have to give it a Solid 100! Kimo and Lopaka haven’t lost their edge for hot sex or each other. I also have to give AJ Props because only he can and would bring in one of the HOTTEST Porn stars into his books. (The wonderfully sexy Rafael Carreras) This book has what you come to expect from a Kimo and Lopaka book sex and lots and lots of it.

On my over all Amazingly Awesome Read Scale of 1-100 I again have to give this book full marks. It’s Hot, sexy, suspenseful and we learn more about Lopaka and Tutu.  Sometimes in life it’s not the journey that matters but what happens as you take it. Tutu is now and always will be one of a kind and Lopaka’s love for her despite some pretty serious choices and mistakes is a testament to some of us who need to learn that forgiveness is divine and that we can learn from the past and grow into a better future.

For those of you who don’t know me don’t know my deep love for all of AJ’s Books. However His Phantom Lover Books have touched me far deeper than most... they have inspired a love and respect for the Hawaiian Islands even though I have never touched the sandy beaches or lush forests. AJ’s books (any of his Hawaiian based ones) take me to the Islands. I can feel, taste and experience Hawaii as if I was there. I highly recommend this or any of his books to anyone who wants a truly outer body experience to the Hawaiian Islands.
