PHENOMENAL LOVE SERIES
Phantom Lover is an adventure into the cultural heritage of the Hawaiian people, A.J. Llewellyn combines this with an extraordinary storyline of intense, erotic love scenes, and the emotional relationship of Bobby who is very lovable and Kimo who learns how real love can enhance his life, and bring him the bliss he has never known. This is a brilliant story and the first of the series.

Phantom Lover
Bobby Kikawa has always had a strong admiration and a huge crush on famed hula dancer Kimo Wilder. Bobby's admiration turned into a lustful obsession after he saw the erotic painting Kimo posed for, seductively called Phantom Lover. A hula dancer himself, Bobby couldn't believe his luck when he was personally chosen by Kimo to be a part of one of Kimo's shows. Bobby saw this, as his opportunity to seduce the man he has been fantasizing about regardless of the fact Kimo was married - and not gay.

Kimo had no idea what to make of Bobby, he was used to having admirers and being flirted with, but mostly by women. Bobby's bold flirtation and how he knew so much about Kimo intrigued him and frightened him, especially when he began to develop a strong attraction to Bobby.

Bobby was very persistent in his pursuit of making Kimo his own private Phantom Lover. He seemed to have a habit of acting before thinking. Kimo was much bigger and stronger than Bobby and with him not knowing if Kimo would be accepting of a man flirting with him he was taking a huge risk of not only being out of a job that could be a big boost for his career but also taking the chance of getting beaten to a pulp. But to Bobby's credit, his persistence paid off and he and Kimo entered into one hot love affair. Kimo turned out to be a true romantic in how he cared and loved Bobby, but of course their relationship hit a rocky road in the form of Kimo's wife. I wasn't really sure how I felt about her, my feelings kept switching from pity to animosity where she was concerned. Other obstacles the lovers had to face included Bobby's insecurities, his fear of being hurt, as was the case with his ex-boyfriend Johnny who also plays a role in his and Kimo relationship. I felt for Kimo a little more than Bobby. Bobby was the pursuer of this relationship with little care of interfering with what he believed at the time was a happy marriage between Kimo and his wife. Phantom Lover contained a lot of deception and hidden affairs, it was hard to believe anything anyone said. The one true thing that could be believed was the love that grew between Bobby and Kimo.

Phantom Lover by A.J. Llewellyn
Bobby is a blood mix hawaiian guy who has a deep crush on Kimo, a big hula dancer. Kimo lives along the old tradition and he is like a priest of the old religion. He has psychic powers and half his body is covered in tatoo. He is also a direct descendent of the old hawaiian kings and he is a legend in the hula dance show business. And he is married and straight. No one has never heard of him having a tryst with a male. So Bobby thinks his crush will never bring him somewhere. But then he has the opportunity to work with Kimo and to share a room with him for some weeks. Bobby sees the chance he was waiting to test Kimo and his willingness to have an affair with him, cause Bobby thinks that only a brief relationship could born between them. But what it is starting is a lot more complicated of what they have expected...

The book is very strange. It mixes ancient myth and modern problems: complicated relationships, same sex pairing, cheating men, free sex... It's a melting pot like the volcanos that are disseminating all around the Hawaii, but it's somewhat alluring like all the ancient legends.

Bobby is not a strong character. He is independent, yes, but he is also a man who is driven by his physical desires. He lusts for Kimo and with full consciusness he starts a relationship that will bring problems to him and Kimo, and also Kimo's wife (who happens to be a very hateful woman, so the women who read the book can't feel pain for her...): and for some decisions he will take during the course of the book, the reader would gladly hit him on the head, everyone who read the book knows well that there will be troubles around the corner.

And Kimo? He is a strong character? I don't think so. He is like a overgrown child who wants his toy and wants him now and soon. He has strange behaviour, acceptance and negation one soon after the other, and the reader can't foresee what will be his next action. He is hot and sexy one time, and cold and nasty soon after. But he always pleases forgiveness and claims possession.

There are some point in the book that I have cordially hated, and after all I think that I don't fully like neither Bobby nor Kimo. But this book is like a porn: you claim aloud to hate it and blame its naughtiness, but at night you see it in trance. So it's this book: I read it in rapture to know what it will happen next and to be true, sometimes, I was not able to anticipate the events.
