Blurb:When Jepoi meets the man of his dreams, he has no way of knowing that Malakai is a fallen Hawaiian god condemned to eternity…as a vampire.
The pantheon of gods was displeased when Kane, one of their major gods, fell out with his lover Kanaloa, one of the ruling forces over the Hawaiian Islands. Condemned to an eternal earth-bound life as a shape-shifting vampire, Malakai has one chance to break the curse. He must never fall in love and he must never intervene in human problems.
All that goes astray when he meets Jepoi, a young male nurse working on the Big Island of Hawaii. Malakai falls for Jepoi and can’t resist him, but then all hell literally breaks loose when Malakai saves Jepoi from ancient and deadly disease that returns to the fatal shores of Hawaii.

Review: This is a pretty bizarre story. Don’t get me wrong it was a very good read. I just couldn’t get into it. I had trouble following it even from the start. The characters are very descriptive and are pretty hot. Kane is a vampire, his real name is Malakai and he had pretty much been banished by his lover Kanaloa. What Kanaloa had not known was by doing this Kane would find the one man he would truly love. One very sweet and cute love named Jepoi.
Jepoi is a young male nurse who has fallen in love with Kane. The only problem was he had not known what Kane truly was. One day Kane had warned Jepoi not to do a flight, but it had been an emergency and Jepoi had to go. He had helped two very ill people only to realize he had caught a very deadly disease. Kane had permission to save his lover, but there is always a price.
Kane had been told to fix his curse he must never love a human and must never intervene in any of their problems. He failed at both, not only had he fallen in love with Jepoi but also he saved his life.
I felt like there is a lot of jealousy coming from Kanaloa and it was revenge to send Kane away. There is a lot of danger in this story that does make it a pretty good read. I loved the way each character felt for the other, however I did not really get a lot of it, but I did like the way it did finally connect for me. It has a lot of twist and turns to this story and it left me hanging at the very end. So I am off to read the next book to this story.
