Still Waters is very different from the last two books I have read by K.B. Forrest. Where Calor del Amor and Taino Ti have plenty of yaoi hints, in Still Waters you can find some of them but they are not the mainly aspect of the novel.

Charlie is an original southern man, good and bad things of Old South all together. He is loud and passionate, funny and nut. Yoshi is a Yakuza's son who wants to exile himself from the Family. He doesn't want to take the reign after his father but around him people are not so happy to let him live his life.

Charlie takes an immediate simpathy on Yoshi, better George, Charlie's "best friend" (his penis) tells him to not let go a fine specimen like Yoshi, no matter that Yoshi is not at all agreed to let "George" near him.

Still Waters is a blurr of situations, a novel packed of action and not so much of sex. Humor and crazy dialogues are main characters in this ebook, and between them, you can read of a growing attraction that will become love eventually. It's not a classical romance, and sometimes I have the feeling to read a John Belushi's play: the same crazy plot, like Blues Brothers or Animal House.

Gorgeous cover as always: K.B. Forrest is very lucky with her covers.

similar in simplicity to Forrest's calor de amor- also similar in it's strangeness. i really can't tell if this book (and calor) were written tongue-in-cheek, and that kind of ruined it for me. well, along with the one-dimensional characters and fore-shadowing that was more like hint-with-a-hammer. on the other hand, i could not stop reading it, even after the first few pages when i realized i wouldnt really like it.
took me a bit, but i finally realized this is total manga-style, just without the illustrations. not my thing at all. still feel kind of slow for not catching that, though.
