The Curtis Reincarnation by Zathyn Priest was almost a blind buy for me. I had read a brief interview about the author, and thought I would give it a shot. I am very glad I did! Not only was The Curtis Reincarnation a fast paced, sweet and loving romance, I really felt a connection between all of the characters. They were interesting and well developed, they all (including the secondary characters) were someone I would be proud to be friends with.

I would not consider this an Erotic Romance. I would put this under more of a sensual romance, which was totally fine with me. Between the storyline and the chemistry between the heroes, I honestly didn’t miss the erotic sex much. Don’t get me wrong, there is sex in this story, but not a lot of it, nor is it very explicit. You won’t miss it, believe me.

Jordan Braxton is an everyday average guy. He successfully works from home has a sister (who is also his roommate) who drives him crazy, owns a cat named Furball, and is looking for his one true love. When his sister wins concert tickets, and an after show meet and greet party, to see the very famous Tyler Curtis, Jordan is not impressed. Tyler is obnoxious, crude and has a reputation with the ladies that would make the Pope weep with shame. Jordan can’t stand him, and thinks his behavior is despicable. When Jordan’s sister begs, pleads and bribes for Jordan to go with her, he reluctantly gives in.

From the moment he witnesses Tyler in concert he is intrigued. Yes, Tyler is crass and curses like a sailor, but his obvious talent and huge persona on stage fascinates Jordan in spite of his dislike for the singer.

After the concert Jordan and his sister attend a meet and greet. While Jordan sits off to the side, he spots Tyler standing in the wings. Tyler starts doing some uncharacteristic things (you’ll have to read it) and Jordan becomes more and more attractive to the now mysterious Tyler. Tyler obviously thinks he cannot be seen, but when he spots Jordan watching him there is a connection that sizzles between them before Tyler disappears behind the stage.

Confused by his sudden change of heart for the hugely successful singer, Jordan decides to wander around the hotel the meet and greet is at. After some time, he runs into Tyler and he gets his chance to talk with the rock star alone. The more he is around Tyler, the more Jordan realizes that the bad ass rock star image Tyler has obtained starts to crumble. They form an immediate connection, and Jordan and Tyler soon fall head over heels for one another.

I loved Tyler. He ended up being such a sweet man. I thought he was a refreshing character. I don’t want to get into much about him because I really don’t want to spoil it, but his innocence (yes I said innocence) and the trials he goes through, made him a character that was easy to root for, and stand behind. I thought he and Jordan were made for one another, and even though they fall in love practically at first sight, there is enough angst to make their story interesting and so SWEET to read.

I loved this story, and I am looking forward to reading more written by this author! This was easily a 5 star read for me.

The journey to read this book is long and boring to anyone who wasn't there, but let;s just say I'm glad to have gotten there. This is the book that originally called my attention to Zathyn Priest but ended up being the 4th book by him I've read. I really liked it. I was immediately sucked into this world, and for anyone that's ever seen a picture of Zathyn Priest, I had a hard time not picturing him as Tyler Curtis.

I'm finding as I continue reading m/m stories the main female character (which ...more

There are times when I am disappointed in a book even though people give it really high ratings but that wasn't the case with this book. I absolutely loved Alec and Jordan and found my self reaching for a tissue because of everything he had to deal with in his life. I felt connected to Alec because I too have suffered from seizures but mine are nowhere near as severe as Alec's. I hated Frank and feel he got what he deserved in the end. I am so glad I finally made the time to read this book. ...more

Very insta-love. Also medically inaccurate in some aspects of epilepsy when the patient is in a coma for that long. He would have required intensive rehab after lying inactive for that long. Physical, Occupational, and Speech therapy. But, it is fictional. The Frank aspect of the story was unrealistic to a certain degree. I feel like Tyler/Alec could have gotten out before he tried. Jordan was kind of a bland character with a vivacious sister. Somehow though, it worked for me. I really enjoyed t ...more
