I really enjoyed reading Brush Strokes. This book is must read for all who like erotica! The imagery is fantastic and made me want to hop a plane to Vancouver B.C. and ride through the streets on a Ducati. The main character Tylowe is a man's man but I love the way he thinks...if only he was real(LOL)! The book has some twists and turns that will keep in involved and turning the pages right till the very end, but the best part for me were the poems. They were sexy, sultry, thought provoking, moving, promising, and inspiring. I only wish I could write that well. Shouts out to Alvin Lloyd Alexander Horn for a great book, I'm sure he will bring the noise on his next book...I can't wait!
Emotional Rejuvenation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Right from the very beginning of Brush Strokes Mr. Horn provides vivid descriptions that place you into the story. From the landscapes to characters, you are able to visualize clearly what is seen from the main character's point of view. He leaves no sense to the imagination as smells and feelings sink into your soul. In the flashback to Vancouver as recalled by the main character, Tylowe Dandridge, you are pulled in feeling the love and then heartbreak that frames the present day story. Mr. Horn skillfully takes the reader from the incident in the past into the present where we find Mr. Dandrige successful in all aspects of his life except for love. It seems he had never quite opened himself up again since the woman he loved had broken his heart and his trust 12 years earlier. The story picks up as he returns to Vancouver where he finds truth in more than one respect. As the characters Tylowe and Meeah fall in love you are there in it, falling in love with them. This book is enjoyable as we also get a sample of the author's wonderful poetic gifts throughout, as well as his sensuous passages that cocoon the reader in the moment. The action of the book really picks up at the climax when Tylowe finds that his past has suddenly converged with his present situation and that he must confront aspects of the past that seem unpleasant, but yield a happily ever after that is a definate surprise and worth waiting the whole book to get to! I credit Brush Strokes with a much needed emotional and sensual rejuvenation and can guarantee that to any reader.
