You can feel the rock music playing
on every page of The Prince of Punk by Jenna Galicki, and the
descriptions of a polyamorous
relationship ring true. Unfortunately accurate doesn't mean fun, and
the various grammatical errors are distracting. The ideal reader for
this book is a bi-sexual man, but it's not as satisfying for a woman
of any sexual persuasion. The male on male action is hot enough to
earn a couple of stars, and watching the guys make it big as stars is
a thrill. If you can find this book on sale, it's worth the time and
money to read.
Favorite Quote
“You play dirty, Mr. Blade. And
you, Mrs. Blade, are a wile vixen.”
Fantasy World
There is plenty of details on the
grimy, punk
rock underground of New York. The national tour gets a bit short
changed, but you can practically hear the music play. Other elements
though may leave you shaking your head.
Tingle Factor
The male on male action is hot, but
every time I worked up a good tingle the Angel/Jessi interaction
threw icy water on my ladybits.
Romance
These punk rockers definitely belong
to the school of polyamory
where love has no limits. They fall fast and pledge themselves to one
another forever more.
Drama
Most of the drama comes from the
band trying to make it big, but there are additional storylines
concerning family acceptance and a stalker. The family storylines are
multiple but brief, and the stalker is mostly annoying.
Heroine
Jessi is supposedly a punk
rock girl with a tough attitude, but her actions don't match her
hair. She quits school and gives up her career to marry her bar band
boyfriend, Tommy. She spends all her time either promoting his bands
or working like a dog to support them. Jessi is self-sacrificing to
the extreme she's willing to give up her happy marriage when Tommy
falls in love with another man. There's not much to admire about
Jessi except for her pink hair.
Hero
#1
Tommy is a guitar genius looking for
his big break. He's a lucky man or rather a lucky
pierre. Not only does he have the steadfast love of a good woman,
but he's the center figure of an ongoing threesome which includes a
handsome, latino lead singer. It's good to be Tommy.
Hero #2
Angel is a gay,
punk rock singer who wants Tommy, and not just to play for his
band. He has designs on his new, lead guitar player, but isn't sure
what to do with Tommy's wife. Angel loves Tommy as well as desires
him, but doesn't have any type of attraction to women. It's
challenging to like a character who describes a woman's
vagina as “the ugly sagging skin underneath it was ghastly”.
