Bloody Sunrise (Tiger Mann #2)
by
SO MANLY HE GETS 2 'N'S! HE'S THAT MUCH OF A MANN!
HE HATES THE SOVIETS!
HE LIKES THE LADIES!
PLUS HE'S FAITHFUL!
* except with his body
A MANN LIKE TIGER HAS AN APPETITE!
HE'LL LIE
HE'LL KILL
HE'LL BLOW SHIT UP
HE'LL BULLY AND THREATEN TWO OLD LADIES MANAGING A WOMAN'S SHELTER BECAUSE THE COLD WAR DOESN'T HAVE TIME FOR THEIR NOSEY NONSENSE AND THEIR UPTIGHT "NO MEN ALLOWED" SO-CALLED "RULES"! THOSE MAN-HATERS BEST GET OUT THE WAY!
BECAUSE... HE'LL... DO...
FOR AMERICA!
:O
This is a 2 star book: lightly enjoyable but forgettable. Pulp vibe was medium-strength and fun when present. I could have used more of that vibe. For example, I'd have liked a lot more of the very very memorable "poetic" writing as displayed in this wonderfully over-the-top love scene:

It was a beautiful sunrise, slow and easy at first, then with crashing suddenness the wild red and bright burst in upon both of us in a frenzy of delight, then diminished into the steadily increasing glow of morning.And that my friends is how a tiger with two backs is made.
Damn, how soft she was, how firm and round the fleshy curves and hollows. Right from the fierce steppes of a Caucasus mountain she brought every buck, every undulation into a living symphony of outlandish delight. Her mouth was a hot, wet thing of such demanding passion that it itself was a fuse that ignited one explosion after another. Her mouth melt against mine, a torch that could nearly scream unless it was choked off, her entire body an octopus of emotion that demanded and demanded and when it was satisfied for a short time was almost content in a relaxation close to death itself.
But I wouldn't give her that relaxation. She asked, now she got. She wanted to see what a tiger was like and now she had to find out. She knew the depth of the canines and the feeling of being absorbed because she was only a woman in the lust of a horrible hunger and in that frightening sunlight she knew for the first time what it was like to live as one.

“An octopus of emotion” … wow, that’s a new one! Sometimes I love books like this just for the creative language of a mediocre life scene - great review!

Yeah I was trying to figure out a way to incorporate into the review "an octopus of emotion" and "a torch that could nearly scream" and "she knew the depth of the canines" (??? is this a metaphor or is there some actual biting happening? who knows). and then decided I may as well just quote the whole amazing thing. I wish the rest of the book had such creative language!
Too bad he doesn't like the gents too lmao !
Ha! I'm reminded of the idea that was being floated a decade or two ago re. a movie about a bisexual James Bond type agent played by Rupert Everett. At one point it sounded like it was getting a lot of traction and Everett was all for it of course. And then it just never took off.

Yep, sad but true. Alas!
Still laughing at ‘octopus of emotion’. I’m trying to imagine just what that would entail but I am unable to. Must be a lacking in my imagination but nothing comes to mind that doesn’t make me laugh.
Yeah, slimy suckered tentacles + emotion doesn't sound super erotic to me, but I guess the cold war was a different era!
Maybe this is the level of sophistication and capability a super spy expects in a lover. Hard to live up to for just regular women.
