Gay-for-pay porn star Jimmy Thunder doesn’t just have a double life, he’s got three. Just when he thinks he has all his big secrets under control, he discovers mind-blowing sex and the emerging feelings of true love with his gay co-star, Angelis. And it’s no fluke. These guys just can’t keep their hands off each other, doing unscripted, hot sex scenes that thrill their director, but for Jimmy, … it’s actually one more problem he doesn’t need.
His most recent ex-girlfriend claims she’s pregnant, his current girl is fighting deportation, and just what is that deadly entity lurking in Angelis’ second bedroom? Jimmy knows an otherworldly monster when he feels one. And he ought to know, because Jimmy’s a vampire. Sleeping by day, hiding at night, Jimmy’s many secrets are about to collide in the sinister, dark side of tropical Waikiki few visitors ever see.

Now, this was a very good time right here, folks! With a premise that is astounding, AJ Llewellyn’s ‘A Vampire in Waikiki’ has some of everything absolutely wonderful! However, do not assume all is fun and games with the book. The writer tackles several subjects that are serious. We encounter Jimmy Thunder–a rather hot guy who’s hot for the ladies until he starts to work as a gay porn star. He discovers the joys of sex with one man in particular–his definitely gay co-star, Angelis. The relationship that develops between the two men is so sincere and truly touching but there’s one catch–Jimmy Thunder and his sister are vampires as a result of a family curse that occurred a long time in the past. From a girlfriend that sells services at an opium den, to the hit put out on her for infringing on another’s ‘professional territory’, to her claims to be pregnant with Jimmy’s baby, to the other lady friend that is facing deportation, to the porn star boyfriend who has sex with other men on screen, to the demonic presence that is plaguing the boyfriend’s younger brother, to the younger brother’s admission that he was sexually molested by the older brother’s ex-boyfriend; this story had me pacing the floor and wanting much more! The book ended with a ‘happy for now’ for all involved. Throughout the story, there is mention of Hawaiian culture, and elements of Asian culture are also present. For a delightful bonus, the writer describes setups for the gay porn scenes that were truly entertaining! I found myself thinking “I’d watch that for real”! Way to go, Mx. Llewellyn!
A sizzling hot romance between porn stars in Hawaii, one of whom happens to be a vampire and ‘straight’… the premise was interesting to say the least, and there was a lot to like here… a Gay for You trope that is pretty much angst-free, and the secondary plot that involves a demon is entertaining. This one is all about the sex and the fated mates aspect of the relationship between Jimmy and Tem (aka Angelis) and their extended family. The heat level here is turned up to 11, and there is a sweet aspect to the whole story. Jimmy in particular is an endearing character, who in his long life as a vampire is experiencing same sex attraction and love for the first time. I will be back for the sequel.
Awesome Story & Listen Fascinating & SmokingHot!
A Vampire in Waikiki
Vampire in Waikiki, Book 1
By: A.J. Llewellyn
Narrated by: Michael Dean
This audiobook was a delight to listen to, the story swept me right in capturing my attention and holding the entire time. This is my second book written by A.J. Llewellyn, she is a gifted author, I enjoy her writing style and the characters and storylines she created. It is great to see another side of her imaginative mind in this steamy paranormal romance. I adored the two lead characters, Jimmy Thunder and Tem aka Angelis, the intro to these two and the opening scene of the book is smoking hot. Agnelis had gotten a glimpse of Jimmy when he was showering in the gym’s shower and told him about starring in porn, gay for pay porn which he did despite having a girlfriend. Turned out to be something he liked, a lot. Jimmy felt a connection with Angelis on the set and the chemistry between them was electric. They started seeing each other off of the set, Jimmy realized there was something special about Tem and that he wanted more but first he would have to explain to him what he was. Jimmy was not ordinary man, he is a vampire and not even an ordinary one. His family was cursed, he and his sister are the last of their bloodline, they live on blood but can still eat and drink human food. Jimmy ended it with his girlfriends, dumping one and finding a better lover for the other, keeping it in the family for a perfect coupling. Jimmy could sense spirits and saw there was a bad one attached to Tem’s brother, the only way to help was to bring in friends and out his supernatural ways. I loved how every thing played out in this book, the story is fast paced and there is never a dull moment. The fantasy/paranormal elements of this story as awesome as the romance and sexy times. A.J. Llewellyn, thank you for another fabulously entertaining and enjoyable story!
And for the wonderful narration, Michael Dean does an awesome job bringing these characters to life and humanizing them with their emotions and personality. His portrayal of each character is spot on, he takes each role and makes it his own sounding believable and just as I picture them to sound. He sets the perfect tone for the story, captures all of the characters emotions as well as their passion and projects them into this performance. He is a natural talent and an entertaining storyteller. It is always a pleasure to listen to to his work. Thank you for another awesome listen
