The monsters are real, and they need a change in public
image before their presence is outed to an unprepared
humanity. The solution? The hype of a summer action film
detailing their plight, followed by the revelation that they
exist cheek by jowl with humans, hopefully minimizing the
'villagers carrying torches' bent of humans when faced with
unpleasant surprises.
Tokaki, the creature who taught the monsters to fight is an
excellent choice as stunt coordinator for the movie that may
help change the world's view of those hiding in the shadows.
He comes from the most traditional of families, but he can
see the value in the plan to win the humans to their side
before their enemies can out them in a more unpleasant way.
Jo's unique artistic vision will make her the perfect
Production Designer, if only she can overlook the slights
she endured in college from one of the women who have formed
the production company that wants to hire her. Her world is
blown apart when they reveal that monsters are real, and are
mostly pretty nice folks who just need a bit of help.
When Tokaki and Jo meet, sparks fly, hearts beat faster and
love fills the air. I like that they don't hesitate to act
on their attraction for one another. Much of the story's
tension comes from the over-arcing plot of the series and
the danger Jo encounters during a field trip with Tokaki,
supported by the more usual glitches when working out a new
relationship.
I was so enamored with Dubois' imaginative world I went back
and read the series from the beginning (HAVE MONSTER WILL
TRAVEL is book four in herMonsters in Hollywood
series.) The sex scenes, although still incredibly
passionate are a lot less kinky than those in previous
books in the series, which in my opinion may help the less
adventurous reader to focus on the enjoyably skillful
advancement of the series story line. I truly enjoyed each
of the books and am eager to read book five, A Monster and a
Gentleman, coming in March 2013.
She’d always heard Hollywood was full of monsters. She
didn’t know they meant actual monsters.
All of Hollywood is talking about Calypso Production’s new
top-secret action movie, and Joanna is tapped to be the
Production Designer. There’s just one big issue: the lead
actors are monsters. Literally.
Bound by tradition and discipline, Tokaki’s clan of
shapeshifers has maintained the old ways even as they’ve
retreated from the human race. When members of another clan
come up with a plan to expose and explain their hidden
existence, he agrees to help. As the warrior who trains all
others, he knows how to inflict both the maximum, and
minimum, amount of damage. Because of this experience he’s
asked to become something they call a “stunt coordinator”.
When Joanna and Tokaki meet it’s electric, and not just
because Joanna watches him shift from a massive white tiger
into a handsome, naked man. Tokaki is fascinated by the
outside world, especially Joanna, who’s colorful in more
ways than one. When he takes Joanna to a hidden temple deep
in the Chinese mountains, neither expects she’ll be risking
her very life. In order to save the woman he loves, Tokaki
must turn to his family for help, risking the secrets his
clan has kept for a millennium.
Warning: This title contains an artistic woman, a demanding
warrior, and sexy misuse of temple grounds.
