My Bloody Valentine Collection #2
Dark Valentine
Valentine’s Night, when the line between the real and unreal becomes blurred…
New boyfriends Brandon and Ryder are invited to an upscale Valentine’s party in Santa Monica. Brandon had heard how ‘fabulous’ the parties are, so he’s surprised by the creepy décor, and some even creepier ghouls who seem to have taken the place of the hosts. They can’t be real, can they?
An erotic cabaret that ends with one of the dancers seemingly either killed or seriously injured upsets Brandon. Ryder attempts to calm him down, but they’re both horrified when they discover a dead body upstairs with a knife embedded in its chest.
What the heck kind of a party is this?
And will Ryder and Brandon live to find out?

About the author
J.P. Bowie
136 books232 followersJ.P. Bowie was born and raised in Aberdeen, Scotland. He wrote his first (unpublished) novel – a science fiction tale of brawny men and brawnier women that made him a little suspect in the eyes of his family for a while.
Leaving home at age eighteen for the bright lights of London, he found himself in the midst of a “diverse and creative crowd” that eventually led him to the performing arts. For the next twelve years he sang, danced and acted his way around the theatres of London and the provinces, appearing in shows with many famous British singers, actors and comedians.
After immigrating to the US and living for many years in Las Vegas where he worked for that incomparable duo, Siegfried and Roy, J.P. found himself entranced by the fair city of San Diego where he currently lives with his partner, Phil.

Ждала мистику, получила секс без остановки и плохо развитый сюжет. Не впечатлило.

Dark Valentine is a quirky story of two guys who have recently got together and are invited to a Valentine party that is darkly themed more like Halloween.
The characters are nicely developed and relatable, and the story certainly lives up to its title. The party is certainly like no other party that I have been too. The Décor and fancy dressed waiters are certainly enough to give you the chills. And not everything is as it seems. There is murder and kidnapping at the party. And hosts who seem to not care that a murder has happened in their house. There is certainly tempers that are bubbling between our two main characters and their hosts. But not everything is as it seems……or is it.
The story had a kind of murder mystery feel about it. The tension was nicely built up as the evening progresses.
All in all an enjoyable read if a bit quirky.

This was fun story of Brandon and Ryder first Valentine Day date. They had met New Years Eve and had been sort of dating when Brandon invited Ryder to what was suppose to the "party of the year." Their story was low angst and sexy, a true J.P. Bowie fashion, and a great read.

J.P. Bowie gives us a light Valentine read which some eroticism thrown in and I’m good with that.
