Review by Cactus

On a deserted island in the Pacific, surrounded by the enemy, two very different men learn to rely on each other for survival. Mike is an uneducated rascal, one step ahead of prison and a court-martial. He’s given one chance to redeem himself: if he wants to stay out of jail, he has to keep Professor James Hamilton alive. No matter what.

James is everything Mike isn’t–suave, educated, intellectual, and rich. He’s also a conscientious objector and he’s made a deal with the army–three months on the island breaking codes as long as he doesn’t have to kill anyone.

Mike is Catholic, the son of immigrants, and has never acted on his desires. James is Jewish, the son of Boston society, and experienced in love between men. During their hazardous stay on the island, they teach each other about life, friendship, and survival. With only them to say what’s right and wrong, the men make a deal: Mike must give himself to James for one day, submit to him completely, and James will allow Mike to take him whenever Mike wants to slake his sexual needs.

But once the war is over, can they keep the promises made on those hot Pacific nights and find one place both of them can call home?

Publisher’s note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, male/male sexual practices.

Two men trapped on a deserted island for 3 months with only each other for company leads to a potentially dangerous situation when the men are forced to return to the real world. Mike and James are expected to fulfill their military mission decoding messages from the Japanese but on a deserted island, their needs overcome common sense. Mike and James find themselves dealing with a passion they didn’t expect amidst a potentially dangerous situation. Not to mention their newfound relationship is not one allowed in society nor the military.

While this particular storyline may not be terribly inventive, it is rather interesting if you’re looking for a fantasy like romance story about two strong willed characters. bulk generic viagra This action helps to measure their speed and other aspects of your life.

Even though they are on an island, it’s easy to forget the danger of the war as well as the hidden nature of homosexual relationships during that time period. This story almost reads as if it could be any time period as isolated as the men are. This does allow you to immerse yourself into the story and the fantasy of two men falling in love on an island (even among danger and war).

Both men are interesting characters as Mike is very aggressive and old-fashioned Catholic, complete with religious guilt. James is openly gay, an intellectual that opposes the war. While the men are complete opposites, they manage to compliment each other in ways that enhance each man instead of highlighting their differences. Ultimately those differences threaten to drive a wedge between the men, but as this is a romance, I don’t think it’s giving anything away to say they work things out in a very romantic ending. While this ending was slightly odd, considering the lack of real world context and slight unbelievable resolution, it is fitting with the story.

If you’re looking for a fantasy like story that is heavy on the romance of the characters and less on the actual time period, you may enjoy this offering.
