“4.5 Nymphs!...I loved that the authors chose a male breast cancer survivor as one of the two main characters. The second unexpected plot choice was the tropical location...The descriptions of the various small islands that make up Tahiti are breathtaking and I loved all the little tidbits of customs and culture interspersed among the pages. It really made the island life and its people come to life, making me want to go out and buy a plane ticket. Now!...Roman and Philippe are both intriguing and likable men. This story is an emotional rollercoaster and for lovers of writers, A. J. Llewellyn & D. J. Manly, and male romances in general, I’m certain you’ll be pleased. Enjoy!”--Dragon Minx, Literary Nymphs Reviews
“...Such a wonderful book! Wildly romantic, a brilliant setting brought to life so well that I felt as if I was right there with the characters, scorching hot sex, a fascinating plot and absolutely fascinating characters. Not to forget, as so often with A. J.’s and D. J.’s book, there was a serious issue, that of male breast cancer, on top of everything else. It added a touch of realism, a lot of depth and made the whole story feel even more real...If you’re looking for an interesting location, fascinating characters and a story with some interesting twists, you will love this book.”--Serena Yates, Queer Magazine Online
“4 Stars!...An entertaining story. The premise was interesting and there was plenty aside from the relationship between the men to keep me engaged...The main protagonists, Roman and Philippe, are both likable and well drawn and the chemistry between them is intense and hot. There are also some sweet, loving moments which helped to solidify their connection. There is an interesting cast of characters and a storyline that is fun, sexy and emotional. The authors’ descriptions of Tahiti and it’s culture left me wanting to pack my bags and head on over there immediately. This engaging story is a must read for fans of the authors and as long as menage scenes don’t turn you off then this story is sure to entertain lovers of M/M romance stories. Recommended.”—Lily, Reviews By Jessewave
“4 Angels!...Brings the beauty and majesty of Tahiti alive for the reader...I loved how the descriptions of all the islands brought them to life for me. The conflicts between Tane, Philippe and Roman were resolved in a very unique and pleasurable manner for everyone concerned. Will Roman and Philippe stay together? You will have to read the story to find out.”--Teresa, Fallen Angel Reviews
...“Phil?” Tane said in surprise. He smiled a little uncertainly at him.
“Tane.” His voice was flat and without expression. Tane noticed a flicker of something in his eyes.
The man who stood beside Philippe suddenly took Philippe’s hand, sending Tane a message that was clear enough. He’s mine. Hands off. Obviously this guy knew there was a history between him and Phil, but Tane was sure that he didn’t know the half of it.
Okay, Tane thought, looks like Philippe went and got himself a steady boyfriend. Not too shoddy. He was really hot actually, although at this moment, he had one hell of a surly expression on his face.
Philippe just looked uncomfortable. His companion was glaring at him accusingly, as if poor Philippe had just had raw, unbridled sex with some other guy right in front of him.
Tane smiled. If only the poor guy knew the things he and Philippe had done together. Philippe had been his first, had taught him everything. But it didn’t take Tane long to develop his own initiative.
“What are you doing here?” Tane suddenly noticed that, although he’d directed his question at his former lover, everyone was staring at him.
Philippe stood like an inanimate robot, as if frozen in time. A few of the others suddenly started talking at the same time, perhaps to cover up. Tane couldn’t understand a word coming out of anyone’s mouths.
He put up a hand and shouted, “Stop!” Then he smiled.
Everyone looked traumatized, especially a young, dark-haired woman who was probably related somehow to the boyfriend. They looked alike, anyway.
Tane knew he could be intimidating. He was six-foot-four of raw muscle, and usually when he told someone to stop, they did. Right now, he was feeling a little overwhelmed as well. Philippe should have been running this hotel.
It didn’t help that Philippe looked good enough to eat. Already Tane’s cock was stiffening in his expensive Armani trousers.
Again, total silence descended. And Tane noticed that more than one man in the group had his gaze zeroed directly on his groin. Philippe, too, except his was of the peek-and-look-away variety.
Tane cleared his throat. There was no point in initiating any kind of conversation with Phil now. He was sure they’d find time to talk…or…something…later. “Let’s get started, shall we?”
He watched people move into position and decided to avoid looking at Philippe and his boyfriend altogether. He had to go through with this. Although he was as much in the mood to initiate this mock wedding right now as he would have been to swim in shark-infested waters. He did have a responsibility to encourage tourism in the region, and given the fact that the French government had loosened the laws, this was a good thing for the economy.
Was Philippe married now to this man by his side? Is that what you wanted from me, Phil? You ran from me. I know I’m a bad boy…hell, I broke your heart again and again, but you might have tried harder to tame me.
Philippe’s boyfriend suddenly let go of Philippe’s hand and walked off, just like that. Philippe turned around helplessly, and the dark-haired woman named Caroline whispered something to Philippe that sounded like a reprimand.
Tane knew Philippe wouldn’t chase after the boyfriend. Philippe had never been a man impressed by scenes.
“Well, let’s do this,” Caroline announced, looking at him rather crossly.
Tane nodded. He watched as the people went through their paces. He might have even said the right words at the right time, but as he did, his gaze met and locked with Philippe, and his thoughts traveled back to their past...
