The Forbidden Island

Johnny Kaimana is a young Honolulu tour guide, enjoying a fun, carefree existence and a no-strings sexual relationship with his roommate, island music man Alex “Aloha” Granger. Just as things turn serious between them Johnny finds himself drawn to Mahini, a mysterious stranger, an imperious tattoo artist from The Forbidden Island of Ni’ihau.

What starts as a hot sexual romp turns almost deadly when Mahini, determined to either keep Johnny for himself or kill him, secretly burdens him with an ancient, evil curse called he malama pu’olo, or a Bundle of Death.

With the aid of the powerful kahuna priest Kimo Wilder (from the book Phantom Lover), Johnny seeks to retrieve the very personal object Mahini has stolen from him. To get it back means making a rare and dangerous trip to Ni’ihau an island forbidden to outsiders.

Can Johnny break the hold of the curse? He must, for his sanity, for his life and also for the life of the man he realizes he truly loves. The man he calls Aloha.

ISLAND MAGIC, FASCINATING LEGENDS, SACRED TRADITIONS AND HOT, HOT, HOT LOVING!!rnIf you've not yet picked up one of AJ Llewellyn's "Phantom
Lover" books - shame on you! I have just finished reading all 10 of the current releases and can thoroughly recommend them all. I'd suggest
reading the titles in order (although each story is a stand alone adventure) as this will enable you to become a member of Kimo and Lopaka's family.
This is truly how it feels once you get drawn into AJ's world. His stories will have you laughing and crying, as well as introducing you to the
intense love between Kimo and his wife Lopaka - and make you a riveted voyeur to their hot sex life too! :o) All of the stories contain a very strong
sense of family ties and friendship, as well as a true appreciation for the ancient gods and goddesses of the Hawaiian culture. I've learnt so much
about this fascinating place and the Hawaiian Glossary at the back of most of the books is a font of information. Thanks AJ! Each book shows such
incredible attention to detail that the scenes come alive to the reader, and your attention is captured from the first page and held till the very
last. The Legends and traditions of Hawaii are shown the respect they deserve throughout the series by this talented author and all I can say in
conclusion is that this series is awesome and you won't regret adding it to your collection.

Zollyanna, Night Owl Romance 5/5 - Reviewer Top Pick - A.J. Llewellyn really is one of the brightest and talented writers I have had a privilege to
review for. He again shows us his talent with another book in his Phantom Lover Series. Forbidden Island has everything you could want in a book
romance, mystery, comedy, passion, and more. He added complete depth to Aloha and Johnny’s characters to bring them to life. You feel like you are
there in Hawaii with them on the beach or in the bungalow. This is definitely another I will add to my ever-growing e-book collection and A.J.
Llewellyn collection as well.

When I first started reading this book, which is the sequel to Phantom Lover, I couldn´t believe it. How could the author bring Johnny back? You have
to understand, in the first book Johnny was the bad guy, he cheated on Lopaka. I hated him! ;)rnrnBut this book is proof that a good author can get
away with everything. In the first chapters the author shows Johnny´s sensible and vulnerable side and you can´t help but forget about all his prior
frailtries. In addition to that A.J. Llewellyn introduces another very likable and interesting character with Alex/Aloha, Johnny´s lover. And they
both will need each other as Johnny gets into the focus of a kahuna priest from the Forbidden Island of Ni’ihau, who uses his powers to lay a dark
curse on him.rnrnThis is another great book and a very enjoyable read. Again the author creates a lush tropical paradies with her descriptions of the
Hawaiian Islands, in which you can completely immerse yourself. And there are pretty hot sex scenes, too. ;)
