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.

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!

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.

The whole premise for the storyline in this book sounded intriging. The question of whether or not that Knox was Issac's continuing reincarnation of his first lover was never really confirmed but was definitely there in the background. The first couple of chapters started off well but once the sex started the story seemed to fall away and became repetitive and how many times can you say your's and mine, it seemed like they had to keep convincing themselves of this?
I read the RoughStock series by this author and enjoyed them. I guess this one just wasn't my cup of tea!

This M/M "vampiric" romance is hot! Isaac and Knox do not fit your normal meaning of vampires but I would like to think they are vampiric.
Isaac and Knox are totally addicted to each other. Their desire for each other is intense and obsessively savage. The sex scenes are lusty, and extremely erotic. Tortuga holds nothing back and certain parts are feral and almost animalistic. Imagine two vampiric creatures so in love with each other that they just want to be absorbed into or "suck" up by the other. Yup the blood, the bites...
Plotwise, the story could have been better explored as both characters repeatedly met, love and lost each other through the centuries. But as a M/M erotic romance Timeless Hunger is sizzling intense.

if you are looking to read a novel that contains romance and hot sex then look no further than timeless hunger. isaac is a vampire who finds his true love in knox. ba totuga has hit the jackpot once again. readers if you have not as yet read his novel rain and whiskey i highly reccommend this book as well. fact is check all of ba torguga's books. i haven't found one i did not like.
