Book Description

Publication Date: December 27, 2006

Knox likes to blow shit up. In fact, it's his life. He's got a reputation as the best demolition man in the business, at least until the enigmatic Isaac shows up and literally blows one of his jobs to kingdom come. Then Isaac invites himself to stay with Knox, leaving the big redneck wondering if he's his mind, torn between telling Isaac off and taking him right to bed. Isaac is a lot older than he looks, and tired of searching through time for the one he loves. When he finds Knox he's almost given up. He amuses himself with the youngster for awhile, but when he realizes things are getting serious, he runs, unable to bear the thought of losing Knox as he's lost so many before. This time he's not going to get away, though. Knox is a lot more tenacious than Isaac expects. They dream of each other while they're apart, the past coming back to haunt them. Knox finds that he's facing changes that he never expected, his need for Isaac far more than just afleeting love. Will their hunger for each other eat them alive, or can they strike the perfect balance between the past and the future?

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 Explosive action for the gay demolition man, August 1, 2007

This review is from: Timeless Hunger (Paperback)

Knox is a demolition expert about to bow up decaying building when a stranger intervenes, claiming to be the owner. The stranger, Isaac, then imposes himself upon Knox's hospitality and moves into his home despite Knox's attempts to rebuff him. But it is not long before Isaac ignites something within Knox, and the two are soon embracing. Knox becomes besotted with Isaac although Isaac himself is initially only seeking some amusement.
But while totally taken by Isaac, there are some things Knox is unsure about, is Isaac really as old as he claims, and what of Isaac's other strange needs.
As for Isaac, having spent the centuries searching for the one he loves and almost given up, he soon realises things are getting serious with Knox, but can he take the risk yet again of losing a loved one as has so often happened before, and the pain that goes with it?
There is no doubt they need each other, the passion between them is intense, and there are plenty of hot and steamy scenes.
This is an action packed tale, but most of the action involves the love making between the two men; the story itself, while intriguing, amounts to a very small part of the book. If you like wall to wall M/M sex, you'll like this story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot! Sizzling! Erotic! Hot Sex!, January 29, 2007

This review is from: Timeless Hunger (Paperback)

This book has hot sex on every page! Somehow Tortuga manages to keep it lustful, unsatiable, unquenchable, needful, etc. for the entire story. I loved it. It was lacking in the original premise of the story in that Isaac disappears or runs away from Knox for his own piece of mind and Knox's personal safety - but Knox suddenly finds him. It's like on one page he was gone and then suddenly he is back and Knox finds him. This could have used a bit more fleshing out. Also the fact that Knox was a re-incarnation of previous lovers Isaac has lost was not explained or developed enough. But the rest of this hot, sizzling, lust-filled story and how they literally become addicted to each other and how Knox (the human) finally takes possession of Isaac more than makes up for any deficiency!Sooo hot! Sooo lustful! Soooo erotic!

3.0 out of 5 stars Little too much sex for my taste, especially with the type of sex it is, January 6, 2012

Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.

Rating: 5/10

PROS:
- The tone of the story is conversational and easy to read, and it incorporates quite a bit of dry humor. One of my favorite descriptions occurs when Knox compares Isaac to "a cat that didn't want to be picked up, going all boneless and impossible."
- The chapters written from Isaac's perspective have an odd sort of genteel charm to them. By nature, he's a rather vicious creature--needing blood and all that--but there's something refined about his mannerisms and his language. He's constantly attaching words like "lovely" and "luscious" and "delicious" to his observations.
- There's nothing particularly unusual about the paranormal plot angle in this story, but it didn't feel stale to me, either. Tortuga turns Isaac's condition into a fairly serious mental battle that he's always waging internally: should he tell Knox, or not?

CONS:
- The premise that the entire story is built on--Isaac shows up at Knox's doorstep and just doesn't leave--was something that I simply couldn't buy into. I kept wondering why it was so difficult for Knox to kick him out.
- I found the immediacy of Isaac's possessive attitude toward Knox to be a little annoying. They've literally just met when Isaac starts thinking of Knox as "his."
- Twenty pages from the end, there's a suggestion that something major is about to happen in the plot, and then...nothing happens. It was a little weird for me. And anti-climactic.

Overall comments: This book has a lot of sex, which is a common feature in this author's works, and the sex in this one is of the rough variety. Lots of bruises and lots of blood play. I didn't love it or hate it overall; it's just a so-so erotic romance for me. Heavy on the erotic.
