Book excerpt: KATANA DUET: SAMURAI'S FORBIDDEN LOVE [Erotic: Gay Romance, Historical] Twin samurai, Aki and Akeno Matsumoto, must overcome a past wartime tragedy while recognizing their growing forbidden love for one another. In America, their hosts, a brother and sister pair, Konrad and Klara Lennartsson, plot to tear the siblings apart. *** 5 Angels: "Ms. Jarun has created a unique story by mixing characters from Feudal Japan into an early American culture to fashion a story that is fast paced and unpredictable for the reader. I loved the scenes from Japan and how Aki and Akeno adapted to America, sometimes with more success than others. It was interesting to see how individuals from both cultures responded differently to the same situations. The scenes where Aki and Akeno finally expressed their true feelings for each other were moving and very erotic. It was interesting to see how both sets of siblings found themselves in similar situations, but looked upon it differently, maybe due to the different cultures. It was fascinating to watch the action unfold and not be able to figure what was really going on until the very end. I will definitely look for more books by Ms. Jarun." --Teresa, Fallen Angel Reviews *** 4 Pixies: "The continuing revelations in this novel are truly amazing. Author Silapa Jarun weaves an extraordinarily involved tapestry with the foil of the defeated Samurai twins contrasting the elusive ethereally ill Klara and her relative Konrad. A man who seems so open and aboveboard, Konrad harbors his own mysterious drives and secrets. Silapa Jarun has a taut grasp of background historical detail and the period comes alive with sensory perceptions, both in the Japanese setting and inWisconsin, where the reader can almost feel the snap of cold and the bite of the wind. Emotional and sensual tensions between various combinations of the four characters tighten minutely and almost imperceptibly, but inescapably. A multilayered and complex story, Katana Duet is memorable and thought-provoking." --Frost, Dark Angel Reviews
