Children of the Rainbow is a spin-off from Phantom Lover, in which all the treasured characters from that series will appear as the story progresses.
Track, the lover of Paden, has assumed human form after the pair meets in the book Paden (Book 14, Phantom Lover series). Track tells Paden they can be together, but their love exacts a price…one that Paden is soon to learn can be dangerous and potentially deadly.
On the day of a tsunami warning in Honolulu, Paden wakens to find Track is with him after several weeks of absence. They are needed, Track tells him and soon they’re traversing a rainbow to unravel the mystery of a young man who has committed a kapu. He has broken a sacred taboo and the gods of old Hawaii are angry. The young man begs for help. Paden is surprised when Kimo’s toddler daughter, Pele, named for Hawaii’s powerful volcano goddess, arrives, having followed Paden into the spirit realm. She intervenes and the repercussions Paden soon learns, are cataclysmic.
A.J. Llewellyn lives in California, but dreams of living in Hawaii. Frequent trips to all the islands, bags of Kona coffee in the fridge and a healthy collection of Hawaiian records keep this writer refueled.
A.J’s passion for the islands led to writing a play about the last ruling monarch of Hawaii, Queen Lili’uokalani as well as a non-erotic novel about the overthrow of her kingdom written in diary form from her maid’s point of view.
A.J. never lacks inspiritation for male/male erotic romances and on the rare occasion this happens, pursues other passions such as collecting books on Hawaiiana, surfing and spending time with friends and animal companions.
A.J. Llewellyn believes that love is a song best sung out loud.
A.J. has ones again out done himself. Track, the lover of Paden, has assumed human form after the pair meets in the book Paden (Book 14, Phantom Lover series). Track tells Paden they can be together, but their love exacts a price…one that Paden is soon to learn can be dangerous and potentially deadly.
The thing about AJ Llewellyn when he writes about Hawaii you cannot mistake his love of the islands, their traditions and his need to bring up into this world and show us the old and sometimes forgotten ways. For me at least i am surrounded by the sites the sounds and the smells of the island... it's the closet i will get to a Hawaiian vacation. This Spin off of His Phantom Lover Series is as touching, heart wrenching and exciting as Phantom Lover was. I think that everyone will have a hard time putting this book down till the end.
Would have given a 5 star rating but i felt a bit confused. Not sure if I was supposed to read other books before this one??? Very interesting story line with the children of the rainbow. The family was loveable (the kids adorable!!). Learning about certain customs of the Hawaiian people was fascinating. AJ certainly makes me miss the lush beauty and culture of Hawai'i and I've only been there twice!
