Synopsis
HEAVEN
Desperate to save his family’s
hotel, Tyler sinks his hopes and what’s left of his money into a new venture:
a nightclub at the hotel. Everything rides on The White Room’s
success—without it the hotel will go under. Tyler’s nervous, but Lady Luck
smiles on him, in the form of mega-popular rock band Heaven Sent signing on
to play at the club.
Tyler’s a huge fan of the group, but even so, he’s not prepared at all
to come face-to-face with the painfully gorgeous lead-singer, Johnnie Heaven.
But, the bomb that goes off in his brain can’t be lust. Sure, Johnnie’s
probably the most beautiful person he’s ever seen, but Tyler is straight. It
has to be a misguided form of hero worship that he’s feeling—has to.
When Johnnie learns that Tyler shares his obsession with video games,
he invites Tyler to his room to play. Of course, Tyler jumps at the chance.
Who wouldn’t snap up the opportunity to spend time with his idol? He and
Johnnie have a great time together, but Tyler soon discovers that Johnnie
aims to introduce Tyler to a whole new level of game play.

PURGATORY
Tall and sleek with gorgeous red
hair and deep, dark eyes to drown in, it’s no wonder that famous bass player,
Lucas Sloane, stars in so many dewy-eyed teenager’s dreams.
Reese used to be one of those teens—back when Heaven Sent was the
house band for the local club, Purgatory. Back then, it was easy to get to
know Luc, even become friends with him. But he took it too far, worked up the
courage to confess his love to Luc—only to be soundly rejected.
Now, six years later, Luc’s back in town for a visit and more gorgeous
than ever. Much to Rees’s surprise, Luc not only apologizes for the way he
treated Reese, he also comes onto him! Seems Luc’s discovered the pleasure of
being with a man and wants to know what it’s be like between the two of them.
But Reese can’t. He just can’t. He lives the straight and narrow. He
teaches high school math. He’s got a girlfriend. A normal life. He can’t be
gay. Of course, it’s really very hard to deny the man who defines beautiful
to Reese’s artistic mind.

Thoughts
HEAVEN
Wow.
Yeah,
it’s not the best way to start, but I just finished the book and the only thing
I can think is ‘wow’.
Hot,
passionate, intriguing and a male who just realised he wants something that
he’s not sure of.
Its
fear and lust and something to deep it moves your heart even before the real
emotions kick in and tears start filling your eyes.
I
want more...more of them, more of the band, more of Mykles writing style and intensity when it comes to the lovers in
her story—because you know this one isn’t a fluke.
Set
in the mind of Tyler as he struggles to deal with his lust for a man, a man
he’s idolised since the beginning of Heaven Sent the band.
Fear
of everything, his need for the male (any male), his need to be more, his fear that
people will find out, and lastly his fear of wanting more. Though this one
doesn’t really hit him on the head until the real emotional kick of something
else happens around him and sends him into a tail spin.
I
loved this book. It was pushy and needy and made you want to yell at him to let
go and loosen up and then again when he....
That’s
too much of a spoiler.
It’s
quick and to point and it makes you want something you’ve never wanted. Though
it’s not for the faint hearted—really, you can’t deal with men loving each
other than don’t bother. Because it gets steamy hot and heavy. And deliciously
sweet. If you’re a crier you’ll need tissues because one tear jerking moment
pushes you into the next and wraps up the book so nicely you’ll want to close
it up and start reading it again.
PURGATORY
Hum....
This
one was much more emotionally invested than the last one, and man, did that
make it hot.
Reece
is a man who’s been in love with his idol since the first time he saw him. Problem
was, Lucas wasn’t reading for what Reece was giving out.
The
other problem, Reece sees Lucas as something more than what he is.
I
actually found it to be a bit of a bummer that this one was done in only one
person’s head. The first book worked well that way because what Johnnie wanted
was very flat and the tension in not know what was going to happen made the
telling something...more. This one? I felt as if it would have been nice to see
into both minds as the tale went on.
Don’t
get me wrong, it was good, it’s my bit of pick on the novel that it didn’t come
in two peoples voice, and really, that’s it.
It
wasn’t a complicated tale and so I don’t really have that much to say about it.
Both characters are amazing and the time they spend together is actually
seeable to the love that flows around them.
You
understand both characters, where Luc was coming from, the whys to the beginning
of the story, and even more so Reece.
You
sympathise with Reece over his overseeing Luc and his need to want but not thinking
he was good enough, and that it wasn’t because of past or present but merely
the depths of his love for the man.
And
now I’m saying too much. Sorry.
It
well written and makes you crave more. It certainly did me.
The
best part about this book was the fact that you got to see Tyler how everyone
else saw him. Not how he saw himself.
I
really liked this, liked that he was something shyer and less....I don’t know,
but it very different view, though you already knew he’d be like that,
Hell
I’m not really making any sense. But it was great to see him as what I thought
he’d be like rather than them just telling me he’s like that.
