China. A land of ancient wonders. A history of tradition, triumph and tyranny. As it casts a shadow across the entire globe, this once forbidden country awakens as the dominant force in a new world economy. Business empires will rise, deals will be made, lives will be lost as money changes hands, but one treasure will remain the most precious in all of China: a diamond known as the Eye of Fucanglong, the Dragon God of lost jewels and buried treasures. The diamond is flawless. It is priceless. It is cursed. And it is about to be stolen in the heist of the century. Can Professor Fathom's team of gay adventure-seekers find the diamond before this perfectly executed crime leads to a cataclysmic event of mass destruction? From the towers of Hong Kong to the diamond mines of Shandong; from the streets of San Francisco to the deserts of Dubai to the male strip clubs of Beijing; from China's mystical past, to the boardrooms and backrooms of a modern industrial giant, take the high road to China and join in the sizzling action and page-turning adventure of The Curse of the Dragon God.… (meer)

What to say??

I love the characters in this series and for a non-romance book this series is...



But the story fell apart in this one for me. I have so enjoyed the Indiana Jones/National Treasure hunt qualities of the first 2 books. That seemed to have been lost entirely here. The action sequences were exhaustingly LONG to the point I was just worn the fuck out trying to keep engaged enough to visualize what the hell was happening.

And I am with Marco...so many loose ends that really need to start coming together. Mutiple storylines have been formed over this series and love interests seemed to fall off the page pretty quickly.

But hey...I only wish Bradley and Will had been left alone when they woke up bound and naked together on that table with their clothes used as the bindings. Again...



Lord Slutty Will is Slutty Slutty. And Jake finally got him some and while the guy was the enemy...he spoke the name of his true attraction in the act. Wrong...hell no...this was hottie hot.

Now we wait for more. And wait. And wait. Who knows if and when we will get more.

It’s always a pleasure to read a new adventure of the Fathom’s Five (New York adventurer
Jake Stone, Brazilian biologist Eden Santiago, Texas cowboy Shane Houston, Italian art expert Luca da Roma, and California college quarterback Will Hunter), even if my romantic heart would like for them to find the love of their life. In every adventure, there is one of them that seems to have just caught his chance at love, but then something happens and that chance vanishes like smoke in the open air. True, these men are collecting lovers like they are collecting treasures, and maybe those lovers are not vanished, but simple are waiting for them to be back in their arms… yes, I like this second approach, and I think that I will stick to this one.

I’m also starting to see with different eyes the very same Professor Fathom; he is old, but he seems to be a very fascinating man, and so, why not having an happily ever after also for him? Maybe he is too old for one of his guys, but why not matching him with some older and handsome European multimillionaire? It has to be European of course since I cannot see no one else if not an “old country” gentleman with him, maybe, why not even an aristocrat… ok I’m blabbering, but what else I could say of the book without ruining the enjoyment of reading it by yourself and savoring every single moment?

The plot is at the same time linear and complex, it’s really impossible to summarize it in few words, enough to say that as usual, our heroes are running up and down the world, in airplanes, trains, boats and whatever other transport you can imagine. But of course, between an up, and a down, there is always the time to enjoy a flirt or even two.
