In 1946 Hawaii, Tomeo Yamaguchi harbors a secret that would
be considered shameful by his traditional Japanese family—he aches for the
caress of other men.
Which makes it particularly devastating when Tomeo’s father
hires a tanomoshi—a matchmaker—to find a bride for his son.
Tomeo spends time
with the tanomoshi, Shin Yamada, and as the men come to know one another,
deep feelings emerge, the transition from friends to lovers inevitable. They
fall into a clandestine affair, their hushed and hidden lovemaking as beautiful
and breathless in their eyes, as it is torrid in the eyes of others.
More time spent
worshipping Tomeo’s body means less time finding him a suitable bride. Shin’s
forsaking his duty…but mating Tomeo is worth every stolen second.
AJ once again
takes us on a journey to Post World War Two; in this novel we meet Tomeo
Yamaguchi. A beautiful sensitive man who truly harbors a secret that he doesn’t
want or need his traditional Japanese family to ever find out. A secret that Shin Yamada the resident
Japanese Tanomoshi himself understands and harbors himself. Can these two men
Find happiness and love with each other or will Tomeo’s father keep driving
them apart and into the arms of a bride back in their home land of Japan?
AJ once again
weaves a wonderful tale of yearning and understanding in post WWII. Hawaii
suffered greatly post WWII more then most people care to know or understand.
They still in this day and age feel the effects and though its gotten better
the islands still weep for their lost.
Tomeo and Shin are 2 men who don’t conform to the norm of then or today
but they found a way to make it work. Their
love for each other, their families and the islands makes me yearn for them.
They both want so much to please their families but not at the expense of each
other or what they have. The question
that begs asking is can their love be enough to keep them together or will they
bow to tradition?
On My Erect Peni
scale I Give Mating Tomeo 10+ This book is just hot enough to make me need a
cold shower
On my Scale of Wait to pay day or Sell the Kids Mating Tomeo
is a Sell the Kids on EBay and GET THIS BOOK!
The twists and
turns in Mating Tomeo leave you panting and wanting more. I knew from page one
that this was going to be another book I wouldn’t be able to put down and I
couldn’t. It was a page-turner to the very end and left me wanting another
Tomeo and Shin novel.
AJ is the type of
writer that makes sure that everything about her stories is historically
accurate. Mating Tomeo is no different AJ made sure everything about this story
happened or at the very least feasible or possible. There are going to be those who doubt that in
post WWII that there could have been (Spoiler Alert) “secret” Clubs catering to
the Gay and Lesbian crowd. Before you go off the deep end saying its in
possible look at American Gay and Lesbian history. It is not only possible it
happened across the United States and is still happening today. It urks me to no end that people cant wrap
their feeble little minds around the possibility of things because of the era
something was. Sometimes that is the reason these things are possible.
