Not really engaging
To be honest, I have no idea what to think about this book. It was well written with no grammar or spelling mistakes and the mystery was interesting. But...!

There were three things that made me feel quite meh! about the book:

a) Everybody is way too gentle and kind and beautiful and understanding. It's too over the top and unrealistic. There is no real conflict. All the emotions are described, not felt. The author doesn't make you feel for the characters.

b) Everybody immediately accepts the supernatural part of the investigation and nobody questions it. If it was set in a world where ghosts and other supernatural beings are known and accepted, I would have understood that but as it is, it just doesn't make sense.

c) The author tries to write Japanese but some of the words are messed up. I studied Japanese for 3 years and I'm still no expert but even I do know that it's "arigato" and not "aurigato". It reminds me a lot of fanfiction written in anime fandoms where the authors try to show their intelligence by filling the story with Japanese words they don't understand.

Overall, not bad but in the end result, nothing special either.

A Beatiful story
His Beatiful Samurai is about a John Holmes a physic and Toshiro "Toshi" Genjin a japanese inspector. There have been many killings in Tokyo, Japan that has been unsolved for six months by the Ronin Killer. Having no luck in tracking down the Ronin Killer they ask John Holmes to help with the investigation. Toshi and John meet and sparks fly between them from the get go.

It is a little on the gentle side and everyone is expressing their feeling but I think that's what makes the story really good. It's different from many other's since John and Toshi express their feelings throughout the story. They each help each other out emotionally and in John's case help him through his intense psychic impressions.

I really like this book because not only is it romantic but I like the way it's written. I think most people wouldn't like this kind of book since it doesn't involve BSDM or bondage.

His Beautiful Samurai- A Joyfully Recommended Title
Police Inspector Toshi Genjin needs help. He is one of the detectives assigned to tracking down a serial killer, but they are no closer to discovering the Ronin Killer's actual identity than they were when the killings started.


Psychic John Holmes hasn't worked in four months. With a single touch, he is able to discover the thoughts and feelings of anyone, either through touching them, or touching something that they have been in contact with. He is tired of being overloaded with images, but when he first sees the coverage of the Ronin killings on TV and is called in to help, he cannot refuse.


Toshi and John are both incredibly attracted to each other from their first meeting. With John staying at Toshi's place, it doesn't take long for things to heat up between them. But nothing can ever come from a relationship between them. Toshi is engaged to a woman he doesn't love because of pressure from his family and he cannot allow his love for John to intrude. John is pushing himself to his limits to discover the identity of the next victim, but when John and Toshi make the surprising discovery that the Ronin Killer is targeting people that are in doomed relationships, they realize one of them may be next. Is there any possibility of a future together?


His Beautiful Samurai is a mouthwatering story of unbelievable beauty. I fell in love with Toshi; his uncertainty, his needs and his loyalty are all attributes that make him an incredible man. John is exactly what Toshi needs, and the two men fit each other perfectly. Add in a mystery and a connection to several historical samurai's and His Beautiful Samurai has several layers that I found fascinating. I happily lost myself while reading His Beautiful Samurai and simply cannot wait to see what Sedonia Guillone will write next! I need more of these two men!!
