Book Description

January 12, 2009
Sonny and MJ are back, with all of the fast action and steamy heat of their first book, Racing the Moon! MJ gets an offer he can't refuse, one that leads the eco-friendly explosives man to California, with his ridge-runner, Sonny, at his side. They come out of semi-retirement to take out a man they think is an expert in creating weapons for the government. What they find is Paddy, a pawn in a very dangerous game of cat and mouse, a physicist who thinks his cooked-up experiments have no practical application. Paddy's new friend and bodyguard, Neil, knows better. In fact, Neil knows enough to be very dangerous to MJ and Sonny, which sets off a romp that careens across country and spills into the ocean as Sonny and MJ turn to what they know. Running as fast as they can. Paddy and Neil find themselves carried right along, clinging to each other in a world that has suddenly gone crazy. An uneasy partnership springs up between the four men when they realize they just might have a common enemy, and they work together to find out who wants them all dead. Steam and Sunshine is a headlong adventure, with all of the action readers have come to expect from Sonny and MJ, and all of the need and heat these two sets of lovers can provide!

More About the Author

I enjoy indulging in the shallow side of life, with hobbies that include collecting margarita recipes, hot tub dips, and ogling hot guys at the beach. A connoisseur of the perverse and esoteric, my days are spent among dusty tomes of ancient knowledge, or, conversely, surfing porn sites in the name of research. Mixing the natural born southern propensity for sarcasm and the environmental western straight-shooting sensibility, I do my damnedest to produce mainstream fiction, literary erotica, and fine works of pure, unadulterated smut.

With characters ranging from supernatural demons to modern-day cowboys, alternative illustrated men to Victorian dandies, the addiction to history and atmosphere is everpresent, and laced through with sensual pleasure. my latest projects include werewolves, rodeo cowboys, and fistfighting rednecks.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't live up to the first book, May 13, 2007
This review is from: Steam and Sunshine (Paperback)
I was pretty disappointed with this book. After the wonderful ride that was "Racing the Moon," I thought this one would be as good since it involves the continuing antics of Sonny and MJ. Wrong! Basically, this should have been two seperate books. I love Sonny and MJ. I love the second couple, Neil and Paddy, at least until they meet Sonny and MJ. From there it all goes downhill. The personalities of Neil and Paddy do a complete 360 in the first third of the story; turning them from a cute and sexy couple to just plain annoying excess baggage that I really wanted MJ to get rid of so the story could be decent again. You do learn more about MJ's past, but that doesn't make up for the overall lack of chemistry in the rest of the book. I think the book would have been better if I had read it before "Racing the Moon," but since the ending it left open, perhaps there will be a third book that will make up for this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Similar to its prequel, but with additional characters and much more sex, May 11, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Steam and Sunshine (Paperback)
Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.

Rating: 6/10

PROS:
- I still like the original characters: both Sonny and MJ have volatile personalities and enjoy a good fight almost as much as a good round of sex. The result is that sex between them is always fast and hard, but there's more emotion in this book than in the first volume, which I enjoyed seeing.
- The secondary romance is sweet and compelling and, for me, more interesting than the primary story of Sonny and MJ. Paddy is the most fluttery character I've ever seen in this genre (similar to Sammy in Sean Michael's Between Friends series, but a little bit worse). And naturally, Neil does a brilliant job of calming him.
- There's a decent plot in this book, with some intrigue and some mystery and some interesting/confusing flashbacks. However... (see cons below)

CONS:
- The plot is overshadowed by the sheer number of sex scenes, most of which involve Sonny and MJ. So I would become interested in a development either in the plot or in Paddy and Neil's relationship, and then I would have to wait to read more about it because the next chapter was a Sonny-MJ sex scene.
- The sex gets repetitive--not only because there's a lot of it and the characters repeatedly think and say the same things about/to each other, but also because I've read a lot of Sean Michael books, and Tortuga's and Michael's narrative voices are so similar that I literally can't tell them apart. This reads like a Sean Michael book; that's not a bad thing in and of itself--overall, I'm a Sean Michael fan. But there are numerous instances in which the characters here think and say things that mirror or exactly copy phrases I've read in other books (specifically, Between Friends and Jarheads books).

Overall comments: If you're looking for a book with a decent plot and a lot of sex, this might fit the bill. If you want the sex to be secondary, I suggest you look elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great sequel! Wonderfully crazy and lovable characters!, February 22, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Steam and Sunshine (Paperback)
This sequel to "Racing the Moon" definitely measures up if not better. MJ and Sonny are back and are as twisted yet fascinating as ever. The sex is darn hot. MJ is at his most psychotic but brilliant self and Sonny, his sexy and protective Redneck, is there to pacify and soothe.
Tortuga has also given us another wonderfully cute couple in Paddy and Neil. Neil is the mind reader with the British descent and accent while Paddy the red head weapon genius is absolutely adorable.
Ding-dongs, Twinkies, Pop-tarts, chocolates, pies, bombs, drugs...Get these 2 couples together and we are in for one roller coaster ride and what a crazy road trip!
I highly recommend this M/M adventure erotic romance.
