Gemini

This is one of the HOTTEST books I have ever read! Gent is a tattoo artist who is immediately attracted to customer Paul, when Gent goes home with Paul after a date, he meets Paul's twin Jamie and soon discovers the mutual attraction extends to both men. When I got this book and read a few reviews I thought I would feel weird reading it until Gent goes home with Paul. The book was written from Gent's POV and this is my first time reading a book by Chris Owens and it is not my last time this book is a battery burner, and I would have read it none stop if I didn't need to have so much relief. Jaime and Paul lost their parents at a young age and Paul needed the security of his brother. In the underlining plot you see a story of three men bonded in an unique relationship that provides the emotional needs of each man with sense of equally belonging to each other, which to me makes the love scenes all the more sensuous, the story is more than just sex, it also show love that they have for each other. In the story you feel that Paul will do anything to meet his brother's emotional needs as well has Gent finding a place to belong I loved how he was able to bond with each of them on an individual level as well as together to form a whole. Gemini is not a book for everyone with the whole incest theme, but this book was very well written. I also liked how Gent was cautious about his job and how dangerous and how easy it can be to get stuck and be careful about using condoms. To many tomes in books a lot of author don't put that in or characters who don't go and get tested together. I also liked how freaked out Gent was when he got a false positive for Hep c. Overall the story line could have been stronger but I am giving this book 5 stars because it was HOT AS HELL

I've been waiting for Chris Owen's Gemini to become available in print for way too long and now that it's here... Overjoyed. I'm not a huge fan of books written in 1st person so when I come across one that is as well written as Gemini I rave about them.Gemini is not a book for everyone -- the subject matter is in many ways very controversial (and I am not speaking of the gay issue). However, Chris Owens handles it with his typical gifted flare. I rooted for the characters involved and my heart went out to them ONLY because of the emotionally charged way their story was presented. If read with an open mind, anyone reading this book will see beyond the social taboos and embrace the story for what it is -- a beautiful love story between consenting adults, a romantic adventure full of heart with characters who deserve an HEA. If only we all could be so lucky....Pat Cromwell

A good dessert read but the story was lacking the meat and potatoes. It’s just sex no clear story line other than sex. Needed a lot more ump. After chapter 8 it was hard to keep reading in order to finish the book.

I've skirting around this one for over year and finally read it. I found Chris Owen's writing style this time around slow and peaceful. Things that have bothered me in his/her other books worked well here. I didn't have any problems with the twincest thing. Don't let me leave out there was a lot of sex...a lot! I loved the way we were shown bits and pieces of who they were as the story progressed.My only quibble was I wanted to know what became of family friend we met. He was just gone.

Gemini  Gent is a tattoo artist who is immediately attracted to customer Paul, when Gent goes home with Paul after a date, he meets Paul's twin Jamie and soon discovers the mutual attraction extends to both men. When you look at the underlining plot, you will see a story of three men bonded in an unique relationship that provides the emotional needs of each man, the key being the sense of equally belonging to each other, which makes the love scenes all the more sensuous, the story is more than just sex, it also illustrates love. This is a fantastic romance that I enjoyed reading.

It's like taking a glimpse into someone else's life, his thoughts. There is not a real story here or at least not one with the usual tropes and the anticipated reader expectation. It's a window. It's a slice of life. A little twisted. A lot of hot. But, it's a slice. I hated for it to end.

Sex, sex, sex...yes the book is all about the sex. And boy is there a lot of sex but it is also hot and naughty. I liked that the twins had different needs and desires and I liked that they found what they were looking for in Gent. But there was not much story between the sex scenes. If you like fantasying about twins in your bed and toys and well... just about everything else, you will like this book.

Ok I know what people will say its incest and it's bad and all that. But it's a book and a guest story. But off if you know those things will freak you out then don't read this book....If you tho are open minded and like a good book fantasy/book read it .,, it's HOT. Ok the story line isn't all that much. But it's hot fun reading about guys that has fun....in all kinda ways.

My first foray into M/M was via Chris Owen and my all time fave read is one of hers, Adagio, I think she can write very diverse plots, Bareback - my first - was great, easy to read and hot, this one was much more in depth about a three way relationship which intrigued me. Gent meets Paul, an identical twin and they are attracted, then Paul gets him to meet his brother and it goes from there. There is nothing stomach turning in the relationship between these brothers, yes, they have sex with each other, get over it, but they love each other and they both love Gent. I can't imagine being able to love two people equally in this way but Chris made it seem possible. As ever it was well written and extremely enjoyable. I recommend dear reader, that you read all of Chris Owen's offerings.

There's certainly no lack of sex scenes in this book, each one better than the last but perhaps a little too many (is there such a thing?) at the expense of the story line. Thoroughly enjoyed this book but felt there was room for more depth to the story. The three characters were very engaging in their own way (once you get past the "twins" thing, it was nice to see their personalities gradually emerging - I'd happy read a sequel.

This will not be everyone's cup of tea! But I really enjoyed it.Gent meets Paul in his tattoo shop and finds out on a date that Paul got a twin and Gent meets his twin Jamie and they all get together as a threesome!The twins are already together but wanted a third!

Gemini ist gut geschrieben und ich lese Chris Owens Geschichten unheimlich gerne. Aber ich würde von diesem Buch abraten, wenn man eine tiefere Handlung erwartet. Das Buch ist Porn. Nach einer kleinen Einführung am Anfang, in welcher der Protagonist auf den ersten Zwilling stößt, gehen sie im nächsten Kapitel schon miteinander aus. Im dritten Kapitel beginnt es dann in der Dreierkonstellation: Eine Sexszene nach der anderen. Jedes Kapitel hat (mindestens) eine und eigentlich bauen sich die Kapitel auch nur darum herum auf.Die erotischen Szenen sind genau das: erotisch - darüber hinaus direkt und nicht albern. Aber mir wurden sie irgendwann zu viel, es wirkt auch redundant, wenn außer Sex gar nichts mehr passiert. Klar im Hintergrund geschieht auch noch etwas anderes, arbeitstechnisch bekommt man eine leichte Entwicklung der Charaktere mit, aber das ist wirklich nur Hintergrundhandlung. Im Vordergrund steht eindeutig der Sex.Es deutet sich eine Beziehung zu einem anderen Dritten in der Vergangenheit der Zwillinge an, die auch wichtig für ihre Charakterentwicklung war, aber letztlich habe ich umsonst darauf gewartet, nähere Details darüber zu erfahren. Der Erzähler wollte es anscheinend nicht wissen und der Leser bleibt auf seinen Spekulationen sitzen.Das Buch kommt für mich so rüber, wie ein langer, feuchter Traum des Autors. Für kurzweilige Unterhaltung ist es ganz nett, aber mehr ist es nicht. Ich hatte mehr erwartet.
