   - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta.  aprillee | May 20, 2009 |   In Heaven, Tyler gambles on a popular band for the grand opening of his nightclub, hoping their appearance will jump-start his failing hotel. He gets more than he bargained for when the band's lead singer, Johnnie Heaven, comes on to him. Purgatory makes a time-jump from the events of Heaven and centers on on the band's home-town roots. Bass guitarist Luc Sloane once spurned his friend, Reese, who'd like to think he got over it a long time ago. Confronting each other years later forces both of them to reconsider. I greatly enjoyed both stories. The characters all have life and depth. Mykles writing moves quickly and it's hot. (  ) imayb1 | Jan 5, 2009 | Today I re-read Heaven by Jet Mykles. I absolutely adore Johnnie and Tyler, they are two wonderful characters, and I'd like very much to read more about them. Johnnie is a famous rockstar who enjoy his life: he likes women and men as well, only pleasure. When he meets Tyler, the owner of the hotel who Jonnie is hosted, he wants him. But Tyler is not gay, even if, when he looks at Johnnie, his body is very interested; and he runs away. But Johnnie doesn't accept a no like answer and eventually he has Tyler in his bed. But he can take him here? In this book Jet follows the yaoi rules with two young characters, one stronger than the other, one always on top of the other. Johnnie is a few youger than Tyler, but it is obviously that he is the alpha male in this couple. And guys, I always like man with long hair, and here Johnnie has beautiful long waist hair! http://www.amazon.com/dp/1596325127/?tag=elimyrevandra-20 elisa.rolle | Nov 22, 2007 | näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Heaven Sent: Heaven Desperate to save his family's hotel, the Weiss Strande, Tyler and his best friend sink their hopes and what's left of their money into a new venture: a nightclub at the hotel. The White Room must succeed, or the hotel will go under. Against all hope, they manage to sign the mega-popular rock group Heaven Sent to play the grand opening. Already a huge fan of the group, Tyler couldn't be more excited to welcome them to his hotel. He's not at all prepared for the bomb of lust that hits him when he's finally face-to-face with the painfully gorgeous lead singer, Johnnie Heaven. Johnnie's probably the most beautiful person he's ever seen, but Tyler is straight. He's feeling a misguided form of hero worship, right? When Johnnie invites Tyler to his room to play video games, their shared passion, Tyler jumps at the chance. He and Johnnie have a great time with the games, but Tyler soon discovers that Johnnie aims to introduce Tyler to a whole new level of game play... Heaven Sent: Purgatory Lucas Sloane defines beautiful for Reese. Tall and sleek with gorgeous red hair and deep, dark eyes to drown in, it's no wonder that the famous bass player of Heaven Sent is the hero of many a starry-eyed teenager's dreams. Reese used to be one of those teens back when Heaven Sent was no more than the house band for the local club, Purgatory. Back then, Reese found the courage to confess his love to Luc...only to be soundly rejected. Luc wasn't gay. Not long after, Heaven Sent left town and skyrocketed into rock and roll stardom. Now, six years later, Luc is back in town for a visit and more gorgeous than ever. Surprisingly, he not only apologizes for his treatment of Reese years ago, hecomes onto him. Luc's discovered the pleasures of being with a man and wants to know what it'd be like between the two of them. But Reese can't. He lives the straight and narrow, teaches high school...he's even got a girlfriend. He has a normal life. He can't be gay. But it's hard to deny the man who's defined everything beautiful in Reese's artistic mind. No one has to know about it, right?

"Heaven"-- Tyler's father is dying of cancer and the family's hotel is in danger of failing. He hopes that his plans to launch a nightclub will revive their fortunes. As one of the original fans of the now famous rock group, Heaven Sent, he is able to book them for the club's opening. The future is unknown, but what Tyler also doesn't know is that the band's lead singer, Johnnie Heaven, may be more interested in the quiet, conscientious Tyler than all the eager groupies and glamorous women who are willing to throw themselves into his bed.
The worldly and confident Johnnie won't let anything stand in the way of his desires. He's got a powerful and engaging personality. Tyler is definitely a bit of a doormouse, but appeals in his everyman kind of way. This is pure and glorious fantasy all the way, with a beautiful man who is sexually adept and yet also sweet and loving--loving of women and men, but ready to go entirely with his heart when it comes to love, despite all obstacles; and with the other man totally unaware of attraction to men before the "right one" comes along. It's a fun, light guilty pleasure.
"Purgatory"-- Luc, Heaven Sent's bass-player, is nearly a match for lead-singer Johnnie as far as being sex-on-wheels. His tastes run similarly to his friend's, even so far as the quiet, attractive Tyler who has become Johnnie's great love. Luc also thinks he's ready to settle down with his own true love, only the one he is considering is an old friend from his past whom he had rejected before he had discovered that gay sex wasn't out of the question. Reese used to be a friend of the band, years ago, but after Luc's rejection and with the band out of his life and onto the big-time, he's gone on with is life, leaving the old ways far behind. He's now a school teacher and living on the very straight and narrow. Heaven Sent returns for a special engagement in their home town--and the wedding of Reese's sister, a former friend and girlfriend of one of the band-- and Luc is suddenly, insistently back in Reese's life... and putting Reese's job in jeopardy.
This is another sweet and somewhat bittersweet romantic tale. Reality intrudes with the pressures on Reese to conform and to be straight, and with the rejection Reese experienced as a youth. But we can hope all turns out for the best!
The writing is good overall. The characters and situations well enough sketched to thoroughly engage and leave you wanting more. This isn't rocket-science, but it's good, pop-corn-lovin' fun. (
