| Rylan Seabury, former sparring partner of a world heavyweight champion, is now a male escort to Beverly Hill's attorney Harley Stuart. It's not the perfect job but it pays the bills. Harley invites Rylan on a first class trip to Hong Kong, a place Rylan feels a strong connection to. Also, his idol Bruce Lee was raised there and had an affinity for the city. Upon arriving in Hong Kong, he keeps getting glimpses of Tanjiro,the security guard at his hotel. He realizes there's something strange going on as no one seems to see Tanjiro but him. Is Tanjiro a figment of his imagination, a ghost? Just his luck to be attracted to the one man who might not be real after all.
What a wonderful and thrilling book! I was captivated from start to finish. I felt so much a part of this magical story and I give credit to the author for evoking such a response from me. AJ Llewellyn's books are always very descriptive and detailed whether in describing a character or a depiction of a setting or scene. This one is no exception. The flow is spot on, the characterization crisp with well drawn characters. The Hong Kong Tourism Board could use this book as a travel guide as the city is so vividly depicted by the author. The use of language and humor put this story on another level and truly made it a satisfying read. The few intimate moments are tastefully done and one particular sex scene added a different twist. There are some surprises including the end which I don't want to spoil for you. I will say it was a stunner but in retrospect how could it not end this way. This one is a must read that I enjoyed very much, one I won't forget.
