Fabulous New Reviews for Sedonia Guillone

Koji, in need of “serious decompression”, is sent on a forced vacation by his boss. Luckily, he convinces his boss to allow him to stay at The White Tiger, a men’s hotel specializing in harvesting a “man’s yang” and pleasuring them so they are “uplifted, body, mind and soul”. Naoto is assigned to Koji and an emotional, sexy, hot journey begins for both Koji and Naoto.

Sudden Bliss is Joyfully Recommended for a number of reasons. Koji and Naoto are both extremely attracted to one another, but both men have major issues that are roadblocks to any relationship. Koji is a workaholic, who is grieving for his deceased stepmother, is not openly gay to his family or friends, and is pressured to marry by his father. Naoto is a student of the White Tiger path, and is grieving the death of his lover and partner from a brutal shooting three years earlier. The emotional journey Koji and Naoto take during Koji’s enforced one week vacation is full of sweet highlights, sexy and erotic explorations, and great m/m action.

I very much enjoyed Sudden Bliss, and the romance and seduction between Koji and Naoto was perfect and beautiful. Have you ever had a lover refer to your lips as “cherry blossom petals, only a million times better”? Sudden Bliss is the first book in the White Tiger series, and is definitely enjoyable on its own, but I am looking forward to reading more about the comings and goings of the men at the White Tiger!

Yuzo Kitano, a twenty-two year old kept plaything of sadistic Taro Suzuki, escapes for his life. Taro is the son of the largest, fiercest yakuza, otherwise known as Japanese crime groups or mobsters. Yuzo runs away almost bare butt naked, but not quite, leaving everything behind in his haste to escape the prison of luxury with Suzuki. Yuzo runs to the one man he has come to trust and admire, Kikuchiya Fujimara, owner of the White Tiger Hotel for gay men. Kiku practices spiritual enlightenment and the study of the White Tiger Discipline, which encourages mental and physical strength and “sexually channeling” for reviving the spirit. Yuko senses some of the animosity between Suzuki and Kiku, but does not know the twenty-year history between the two that have made them enemies. All Yoku knows is Kiku symbolizes goodness and safety.

Kiku willingly takes Yoku in and begins the healing process from the torture Yuzo received from Suzuki, and Sudden Surrender becomes a heart-warming and fiercely erotic love story. I enjoyed the mysticism and magic between Kiku and Yoku, but be forewarned…e-book readers might need battery replacements, the love scenes are so hot! I was so immersed in the loves and lives of the men at the White Tiger, that I didn’t want Sudden Surrender to end. All the books in the White Tiger series can definitely be enjoyed as stand-alone reads, but I love the connection and the overall completeness of finding out the story of each man at the White Tiger hotel. Sudden Surrender is a Joyfully Recommended read!
