From loveyoudivine Alterotica’s His and His Kisses Anthology - MEN

Kevin enjoys gardening on the balcony of his high-rise. When he notices a chiseled Adonis staring out the window of the penthouse across the street, the sunlight cascading down the man’s naked torso, he’s mesmerized. What begins as innocent glances soon spirals into an obsession that changes his life forever.

Kevin has an obsession; one that involves the muscular Adonis in the penthouse adjacent to his high-rise condominium. He’s told no one, not even Alice, his best friend at the office of his fascination. He purchases binoculars, adds a camera with zoom lens and spirals into the depths of voyeurism before devising a plan to finally meet the man of his dreams. An evening of easy conversation and lustful glances ends far too soon, but not before Tony plants the most amazing kiss ever on Kevin’s lips, leaving him yearning for more.

When Tony shows up at Kevin’s apartment the next night all bloody and bruised, Kevin offers him instant refuge…and his bed. But not all is what it seems. Police burst into Kevin’s home, searching for the killer of a man in the penthouse across the street—Tony’s so-called partner.

Will Kevin’s pleas of innocence save him from this horrible turn of events?

 Review:

Kevin Mitchell has a neat, orderly existence with his high rise condo, his balcony garden and his investment clients. An accountant with a deadline looming, he finds himself increasingly drawn to the man living in the building opposite him. Knowing nothing about him, Kevin enjoys staring at him but fascination with the handsome stranger quickly turns to obsession, distracting him from his real world. Buying cameras and binoculars, spying becomes his full time occupation.  Finally meeting the man, whose name is Tony, Kevin becomes embroiled in a white-hot love affair with him…but is there more to Tony than meets the…er, eye? 

Jon Michaelsen does an excellent job of building up the tension of lonely Kevin’s increasing obsession with the hot and sexy Tony. At every turning page, the reader worries that the scrutinized stranger will catch him, at the same time feeling it’s all a bit…creepy. The theme of one neighbor spying on another and becoming obsessed is well traversed fiction – but the gorgeous, evocative prose Michaelsen uses to describe Kevin’s reawakened senses, not to mention the scorching sex scenes and the surprising plot twists make this compelling, refreshing reading.

Kevin is an accountant. He has a simple, boring life until he starts to see a man in a penthouse across the way. Every day he spies on the man who has the chest of a God, and all-over golden skin. One day the object of Kevin’s obsession shows up to his apartment bloodied and bruised. He finds out his name is Tony and offers him refuge, and Kevin gets a night to remember. The next day he finds Tony gone and the police at his door accusing him of murder. How can Kevin claim innocence when he was the Voyeur?

Jon Michaelsen is an amazing story teller. Voyeur is more than just a love story. It has twists and turns that will have you wanting more. I never wanted this story to end. I will definitely be looking for Jon Michaelsen’s books in the future. Kevin though only a looker at first turns out to be made of sterner stuff. And Tony, is he all that he appears to be? Voyeur will have you saying be careful what you wish, for you just might get it!

This book was GREAT! I can’t say much because I don’t want to give anything away. This book is suspense all the way with a little hot monkey sex put in to make me all tingly! The ending will BLOW your mind. I was like…WHAT?! It kept me on the edge of my seat and I had to keep reading to find out what was going on. I will say it isn’t your traditional romance but there is a happy ending. I guess you’ll just have to read it to find out all the goodness which is Voyeur. –Jambrea

Voyeur - Jon Michaelsen

Kevin has an obsession; one that involves the muscular Adonis in the
penthouse adjacent to his high-rise condominium. He’s told no one,
not even Alice, his best friend at the office of his fascination. He
purchases binoculars, adds a camera with zoom lens and spirals into
the depths of voyeurism before devising a plan to finally meet the
man of his dreams. An evening of easy conversation and lustful
glances ends far too soon, but not before Tony plants the most
amazing kiss ever on Kevin’s lips, leaving him yearning for more.

When Tony shows up at Kevin’s apartment the next night all bloody and
bruised, Kevin offers him instant refuge…and his bed. But not all is
what it seems. Police burst into Kevin’s home, searching for the
killer of a man in the penthouse across the street—Tony’s so-called
partner.

Will Kevin’s pleas of innocence save him from this horrible turn of
events?

Voyeur is the story of one mans obsession and the downward spiral his life take because of this. Jon Michaelsen pens the tail of how Kevin Mitchel’s life spins out of control after noticing male perfection through the window of his neighboring building. What started as admiration from afar quickly turns to obsession in the form of voyeurism. Unable to help himself and not understanding what is happening to him Kevin’s world quickly unravels. He’s at risk of losing his job, his best friend and frankly his sanity, until he meets the object of his affection in person. Tony is everything and more Keven dreamed he would be. Unfortunately Kevin wakes from that dream all to soon.

Jon has crafted a tale of obsession, passion and intrigue. You’re there with Kevin every step of the way, from happy everyday life to desperation and betrayal. A wonderful tale with a twist you don’t see coming. I look forward to reading more of Jon Michaelsen’s work.

I read Jon Michaelsen’s Voyeur in one sitting. The story propels you through a short period in the life of a young man obsessed by a handsome neighbor across the park from him. Caught in the act of peeping back, the neighbor surprises him by a friendly wave and a flirtatious, pantomimed invitation to meet in the park separating their buildings. What follows next unfolds at breakneck speed, and I followed the story, anticipating what must surely happen. Jon Michaelsen completely surprised me by taking the story in a totally different direction — one that first shocked and then saddened me. However, this masterful storyteller twisted the action still another time. I was blown away by the powerful way he brought the story to a satisfying close. Looking back over the pages after I finished the story, it hit me that Michaelsen had pulled me into the story so hard, so fast, that I, too, felt like a voyeur.
 
If you’re looking for a great story that steps beyond the obvious and takes you — willingly or not — right through the lens of a fascinating story, I highly recommend Voyeur.

Rating:

Kevin is obsessed with the man who lives in the building next to his. So obsessed that he has taken to secretly watching him with binoculars, and taking pictures of him with a camera he has purchased with a zoom lens.

Tony is Kevin’s obsession and may not be all that he seems. It also appears that Tony is in a relationship.

When Kevin begins skipping work, missing meetings, telling lies, and ignoring his best friend Alice, all in the hopes of meeting his mysterious sexy neighbor, he has no idea how far he has fallen. When the gods seem to smile in his direction giving him an opportunity to meet Tony, he is ecstatic. Then when Tony turns up the next night, bloody and with a story that he and his boyfriend fought, Kevin thinks his dreams have come true. However, while some very hot monkey sex follows, is Tony all that he seems, or will Kevin wind up in more trouble than he can ever imagine?

Voyeur is well worth reading! Mr. Michaelsen does a fantastic job of keeping the reader on their toes. You never know from one second to the next what is going to happen. The author continues to drop subtle hints about Tony, but in such a way that you are never really certain what the hint really means. This technique kept me reading until I had reached the end because I just had to see what happened to Kevin and Tony. The sex is blistering hot, but even so the author does a good job of giving the idea that all is not as it seems, and a hot body does not necessarily make a good person. If you enjoy a little erotica with your suspense then you simply must check out Voyeur!

5.0 out of 5 stars Voyeur by Jon Michaelsen , July 30, 2008

Voyeur is not a romance but a tale of obsession. Kevin is a normal gay guy, with a nice apartment and a good job. He is doing pretty good, till the night he spots the man who lives across the street. From his apartment, Kevin could see every moves of the man and he becomes obsessed; he remains all his spare time in front of the window, even buys special equipments to see better. After sometime he even begins to neglect work and friends; finally he manages to meet the man and his dream seems to come true… but it’s a dream or a nightmare?

Less than 60 pages it has a very stunning ending; really I didn’t expect it and maybe I’m also a bit perplexed… I’m happy of it? is it what I was expecting or is it better?

This is the first book I read by Jon Michaelsen and in only 60 pages I can’t really have a strong opinion on his writing, but for sure this short story is pretty original, and if you like a bit of twist in your usual romance, try it.

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines a voyeur as 1. A person who derives sexual gratification from observing the naked bodies or sexual acts of others, especially from a secret vantage point.

Voyeur is also a very hot and stylish story of romance and obsession by Jon Michaelsen, a wonderful new author. The story can be found in the MEN anthology on the His and His Kisses imprint from Love You Divine Publishers. 

The story follows Kevin, a gay accountant, who lives a rather mundane life before discovering a man in an adjacent high-rise that could well be his dream man. But what begins as an entertaining diversion, and a rather harmless fantasy soon spirals out of control to become a full-blown obsession. Along the way there is romance and steamy love to be found and enough Hitchcockian twists to make the master proud. (For fear of spoiling some of the suspense I am keeping the details rather vague). 

Voyeur is set in modern day Atlanta and Jon does a splendid job of evoking one of the most wonderful cities in America. Jon’s descriptive pictures make one feel as if they are truly there, cruising down Peachtree Street. (Having lived there for several years in the 1990s I was reminded of such diverse things as kudzu vines, the Allman Brothers Band at the Fox Theater, the Underground, MARTA, and going up to Seeger’s in Buckhead for one of the best meals ever!)

Jon Michaelsen is one of the exciting new voices in the all male romance genre, and will next year have his first gay detective novel published by loveyoudivine. I am predicting that Jon is poised to break out as one of the premier romance writers in the field of gay fiction, as well as the author of suspense novels that will not only keep readers in suspense, but will keep them anxiously awaiting his next book. I can highly recommend Voyeur along with the rest of the MEN anthology that I have read (which is admitedly only two other stories).
