Tropical Hawaii with Naked Boys!,
By Rosie Walters (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tai Sun and Rich : Puna Boys : A Hawaiian Adventure (Hardcover)
I liked this book because it shows in photos the tropical beauty of Hawaiian beaches and forests and the sexy young men that parade around naked there. The story written in the book, adds to the photos. You learn that Tai Sun and Rich (the two boys) never got naked at the beaches before and this was their first time in front of a camera too! Very Hot! Both guys are skinny surfer cute! Enjoy!
