4.0 out of 5 stars Sex a Spectator Sport in 2502? With an MVP?, July 21 2003

Wow...is about what sums up my impression of this unique book. I was stunned and then almost speechless by the end, but very impressed. Kudos to Ms. Bangs for taking this type of plot and putting it on paper for all to enjoy.
Lust a spectator sport? Play hard, play to win, play with a passion for the game, never for the woman. These are the main rules of the game. Follow them and you could be the next MVP of Monday Night's hottest game on tv, Sex. Or the winner of Sex Superbowl XXXVII.

Brian Byrne is the undisputed champion of the league. Known for his unbelievable game and mastery over a woman's body he has even taken four woman at once and brought them to fulfillment at the same time in less than two minutes. What he calls his 2 Minute Drill.
Burnt out and tired from a tough season he decies to take a much needed vacation back to a simpler time and place for a few weeks to get his head in order. 2002 Ireland is his goal, his ancestral home. What he gets is alot more than he the champ can handle.
In the dead of night, Ally O'Neill and her aunt take a trip to scout out a vicious vampire known to roam the area of the old castle, what they find is a incredibly tall man with a body to die for and an attitude. Definately not a vicious vampire...
Things go from bad to worse when this weirdo tries to convince her that he is from the year 2502 and is the MVP of some sport involving sex and even makes up a team he plays for! The Testosterone Titans of all things! The man is nuts! Certifiably nuts! Well, maybe not. Ally starts to see things that she can't explain and her mind begins to comprehend that if her and her aunt can believe in vampires ans ghosts and even take a trip to Ireland to find them, then timetravel is also possible.
Especially when some of his managers, etc., start showing up and make sure the women keep their hands off their most valuable player and that he keeps his contract's 'no sex clause'.
But Ally figures that should be easy, he's packed full of testosterone and male dominance, she doesn't need another loser in her life after ridding herself of her husband.
Things do not go as planned and Brian feels his heart engaged for the very first time when coming in contact with a woman and the vacation of rest and enjoyment just turned into a nightmare. Ghosts, banshees, merrows and the like are all out to play and his emotions are in overdrive. Not to mention someone seems to be trying to kill them or him?
His manager will not leave him alone to save his life and the future isn't looking too exciting for him anymore, not with Ally in the past...

Funny and well worth the read. A mix of future sci/fi, paranormal, comedy and plain fun romance, a sure winner!

1.0 out of 5 stars Game over, Jun 13 2003

This review is from: Night Games (Mass Market Paperback)

I hated this book. It had all of the sizzle of a wet noodle. First of all, I loathe the books which stereotype Ireland and include it just as a place which appears to be romantic, with castles and so on. The villain of the piece is so lame as to be totally unbelievable, and Brian has all the sensuality of a galloping stallion. The friends he brings along only produce low comedy and water down the whole book. The heroine had as much backbone as a jellyfish. The quirky aunt and the supernatural elements have been done to death by this stage. The only thing which wasn�¿t included in this kitchen sink of a book which also had futurist and alien elements was a bunch of cheeky red-haired kids with freckles. Thank God. The only love scenes in the book are exceptionally dull, and this from a man who can supposedly bring four women to satisfaction a once in less than two minutes. This is not quite as bad as the Pleasure Master by the same author, but it is still pretty dull.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as Good as it Should Have Been, April 3 2003

This review is from: Night Games (Mass Market Paperback)

From the synopsis, this book had great potential. It is definitely an enjoyable read, and a light read, but with such a great premise, it should have been so much more. I felt there was too little chemistry between Brian and Ally, and that his profession--the way it was explained in the begining of the book--was very unerotic and belittling of women in general. Still, if you stick with the book, it gets better (especially after Ally experiences a virtual reality replay of Brian's latest game -- at least you can understand why a woman would play the game.) Try it if you've run out of things to read.
