I've been in the business of writing books for a very long time, and I derive particular enjoyment from visiting different places and then trying to relay the "essence" of those places to my readers. Likewise, I'm very adventuresome regarding trying new things, whether it be exotic and strange foods and/or other more personal "things".

Crane is a cynical peacock of a boy who assumes the world wants him. He is courteous and considerate of his friends, even allowing the married boss of one friend to give him a blow job at the local bathhouse as a favor to a friend. Life is handed to him on a golden platter and so when a rich old man wants to take him on a cruise he accepts it as his due.
Of course, half the book has gone by with us learning about the clothes horse and his perfect life before we properly introduced to this rich old man who of course the boy falls in love with. So, yeah, not much in the way of romance and only some raw and ugly sexcapades for most of the book. Not great.
The story travels around from Seattle--I was so excited that someone was going to write about the volcanoes there going off. Nope. Then to Papua New Guinea. Really? No South Pacific volcano for the story? The book is supposed to be about two guys getting together under the threat of a volcanic eruption and you send them to Papua New Guinea on a cruise that does not even mention a volcano? 67 active volcanoes in an area not enough to have one go off during the story? Then we travel to a vineyard on the banks of Mt Vesuvius only about 20 pages form the end of the book, so of course, that is where the point of the book ends up.
Death and destruction, Crane being a hero and Tye acting like a rich old man, the guys survive the mountain and at least have a HFN, though at some point in time I assume Tye will turn Crane in for a younger model like most guys do with their "companions".
Honestly, I probably would have given the book one star except for the fact that it didn't focus on the unimportant lava that most people wrongly consider the danger in volcanoes and instead mentioned the far more dangerous nuee ardentes and lahars and lava bombs. Few books get pyroclastic flows correct, but this one did a good job on that. Valid volcanic action saved it from being completely dismal.

Not among the better offerings in the Storming Love series. The idea that Crane could love anyone more than himself was hard to swallow. For a well-published author the proof-reading should have been better.
