In the real sequel of Phantom Lover (since the previous one was centered on a couple of friends...), Kimo and Lopaka are a married couple now, and they also are 'expecting' twin: Lopaka's sister agreed to be their surrogate mother, and she is now pregnant. Like all pregnant woman, she is behaving strange and Kimo and Lopaka decide to bring all the family in vacation in a near island.

Both grandparents from Kimo and Lopaka side and also Baby Kimo, the child Kimo has fathered for Lopaka's friend, Nicky, join the group. Actually Baby Kimo is starting to be more Kimo and Lopaka's first son than of Nicky. In this strange family, Lopaka is the 'wife' and he is becoming to assume all the protective skills of a real mother. With all there people around, Kimo and Lopaka have to develop new way to be together, their bed seems more a public plaza than a private bedroom.

Summer Love is a fun escapade. The strange and mystical events that were only hinted in Phantom Lover, here have a main role, and Kimo is more relaxed and funny than before. All the book is from Lopaka's point of view, and like it should be for a good mother, he is more quite and steady, steadier and strong. It seems that Kimo is now allow to be more free and relaxed and Lopaka instead is growing in a mature man, with more responsibility: there is an exchange of power between the two men that make the pair more balanced.

As in the previous books, the beautiful Hawaiian islands are picturing in details, with some interesting tips that make them something more than a beautiful postcard.

Ok, maybe I should be fair and start my review with saying that by now I have become hooked on Kimo and Lopaka. These two main characters of the Phantom Lover series books are always so cute and charming, sometimes hilariously funny and you've just gotta love that they fuck like bunnies all the time. ;-)

Summer Love is book three in the Phantom Lover series and maintains the high standard of this series. Kimo and Lopaka are expecting twins, Lopaka’s twin sister Maluhia is the surrogate for the couple. As Kimo fears that the twins are in danger of some kind, he takes his family on a vacation to the holy places of the Hawaiian Islands to pray for the support of the gods and goddesses.

The vacation is also supposed to be a romatic break for Maluhia prior to the final part of the pregnancy and to fulfill her sexual needs Kimo conjures the ancient shark god Kamohoali’i as a Summer Love for her. But as Maluhia hasn't had sex for some time, she is in dire need of some expert tips. In comes Lopaka in a hilariously funny scene featuring popsicles in every flavour. ;-)

A good story, lovable characters and an exotic setting add up to a very enjoyable read. I loved it. ( )
