“Rob Rosen knows his Hawaii better than any tour guide, and doesn’t hesitate to mix the good, the bad and the steamy in this funny, sexy romp through the dark side of an island paradise.”
-- Neil Plakcy, author of the Mahu mystery series
“Set in scenic Hawaii, Hot Lava, Rob Rosen’s latest campy adventure, is true beach reading of the highest order, full of drinks, drag, daring adventure and dishy repartee.”
-- Jim Provenzano, author of PINS, Monkey Suits and Cyclizen
“Rob Rosen has crafted a story that you just don’t want to stop reading. There was "Thelma and Louise" for the girls and for us guys there is "Hot Lava". So pour yourself a cocktail, make yourself comfortable and come along for the ride. You'll love it.”
-- Wayne Mansfield, author of Highway Patrol and The Collection
“Hot Lava, a funny, sexy mystery novel with a tropical twist, is a who-done-it with a healthy dose of who-done-who. I laughed from beginning to end, and then looked for tickets to Oahu. Just to see if I could get into half as much mischief as Rosen's heroes.”
-- Michael Luongo, editor of Looking for Love in Faraway Places
“Make yourself a killer Mai Tai and settle in for another travel adventure from Rob Rosen. You can almost smell the plumeria blossoms and feel the trade winds in the air – a perfect book to take along on your summer vacation this year… or to read while you dream of taking one.”
-- Mark Abramson, author of the Beach Reading series
“Hot Lava” is sexy, sultry…and scalding to the bad guys. Rosen’s Chase and Brandon are like male incarnations of Edina and Patsy from the BBC’s “Absolutely Fabulous” – dropped in Hawaii, looking for cocktails, shopping, and men.
-- Greg Lilly, author of the Derek Mason Mystery series
“Pour yourself a Mai Tai…or three…and escape to the islands for a mystery you’ll never find on Hawaii 5-0. This is more like 5-ooooooooooh! Sex, drag queens, sex, hot dudes, sex…and did I mention the sex? With Hot Lava Rob Rosen has once again created a wholly-entertaining romp that should adorn every beach blanket from P-Town to Key West and beyond.”
-- Kemble Scott, author of the bestselling novels SoMa and The Sower
***
Multiple double-crosses and scams are afoot involving two scheming pimps, several rogue cops, dangerous Japanese businessmen, a cross-dressing lawyer, Mormon bad guys, and incarcerated drug dealers, all under the watchful surveillance of our heroes, Chase and Brandon, not to mention their drag alter-egos, Liza and Judy.
“Hot Lava” is a romantic comedy/murder mystery, as well as a laugh-out-loud funny and often deadly romp from one end of Oahu to the other. This heart-pounding thriller is about a dream vacation that quickly turns awry, with escaped convicts washing up on shore, bad guys scheming to do harm to our heroes, and sexy romps in unusual settings. It’s chock-full of witty banter and outlandish escapades, death and depravity, and friends, lovers, and other assorted crazy characters that fairly jump off the page. Take a vacation with Chase and Brandon and get yourself into Hot Lava!
Hot Lava edition by Rob Rosen Literature Fiction eBooks
Rating: 4.5 out of 5Pick up a title by author Rob Rosen, and you are just about guaranteed two things: a laugh and a fast-paced - and usually smart-assed - good time. Case in point: his newest novel "Hot Lava." This romp of a mystery features hard drinking (who needs a liver, anyway?), bitchy repartee, overt sluttiness, and cross-dressing mayhem. This is a story that a reader is going to either love or hate depending on whether they appreciate Mr. Rosen's slightly over-the-top brand of humor. It certainly struck the right note with me, because I found myself laughing a number of times throughout.
The tone of "Hot Lava" is friendly and almost confiding, as if the narrator, Chase, has a few drinks in him - no big surprise there! - and is inviting you to have a seat and let him tell you his adventure. This novel is so fast paced that it hardly takes a moment to breathe. Or perhaps that's just Chase, who might just talk himself in circles if he didn't stop now and again to dive into his cocktail. Both the story and the narrative are very humorous, but there is also an undercurrent of danger. Cute and funny as our heroes may be, they're still embroiled in a case that involves organized crime and murder, and that puts all of their lives on the line. Chase and Brandon "fall out of the frying pan and into the fire" over and over, but somehow they manage not to muss their hair or break a sweat. Or spill their drink!
Mr. Rosen gives us a host of characters in this novel who are just plain fun, from our heroes all the way down to the wonderfully threatening (and sometimes not too brilliant) villains. Chase is impossible not to adore. He's good-natured, soft-hearted, and not terribly bright, but he can sometimes bumble in the right direction. Brandon is spoiled and catty, but he always comes through with a Xanax or two and a platinum credit card when needed. The only character that didn't make much of an impression on me is the FBI agent, Will. He is something of a non-entity, not terribly exciting except as a love/lust interest for Chase and a reason for the two friends to get into a mess of trouble. Without him, however, the grand adventure would not exist.
The repartee that flies among all of the characters is half of the fun of this story. One of my favorite lines from this story occurs when the gang is formulating one of their perhaps hare-brained plans of action. Chase acts his usual slightly clueless self, and Koni, the young prostitute they have befriended, says to him, "Guess that's why I call you cute dude and not smart dude." (Cue drum riff)
No one could ever accuse "Hot Lava" of being realistic. It's not, and it doesn't try to be; it is purely romantic comedy entertainment. Perhaps this story won't linger in my memory for a long time, but I certainly did enjoy the ride while it lasted. And I think that you might as well. Mr. Rosen has given us a very humorous story that is all breathless, madcap adventure on the surface but which truly does involve an interesting mystery. If only the heroes don't bungle it, we might find out the answer.

Hot Lava edition by Rob Rosen Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
"Hot Lava" is Rob Rosen's new novel full of twists, turns, and tricks. Rosen's Chase and Brandon are like male incarnations of Edina and Patsy from the BBC's "Absolutely Fabulous" - dropped in Hawaii, looking for cocktails, shopping, and men. That concoction delivers fun and laughs for the reader, but deadly situations for Chase and Brandon.
A limo ride from an attractive driver, plus an encounter with a hot FBI agent and his man in handcuffs, start the adventure. Add to the mixture a hearty spice of sex, drugs, and drag queens, and the reader is hooked.
Hold on, because the plot intertwines and knits a fast-paced web of lies and deceit that only Chase and Brandon can unravel with the help of a constant stream of fruity island cocktails. Grab a Mai Tai and sit with your feet in the sand while you enjoy this book.
I have read a few books by Rob Rosen. Just like the others, I was not disappointed by this one. Rob Rosen has a humorous way to deliver the punchlines again and again, and cheekily too. I giggled a few times, amazed by how funny he could make the conversation between the characters. I am not usually fond of men dressing in drags, but Rosen made the plots interesting enough that I would not mind much. And yeah, the plots. Not just some simple story line, but one with good twists and turns to keep the readers wondering as much as the spy-ish characters. If I ever need of a good humor in gay fiction, Rosen's work is a safe bet.
Chase and Brandon are two carefree (despite Chase just losing his job, and putting off looking for another) 30-something gay boys who decide to take their first trip to Hawaii to spend Chase's severance pay. On the plane, they encounter a hunky FBI agent, transporting a prisoner back to the Island, and fate makes their path cross again when they land. Finding themselves in the middle of an elaborate criminal plot, involving a murder, drug running, prostitution, and possible corruption by those in charge, they convince a young gay hustler to help them try to find out what is going on. Along the way, Chase and Brandon get into lots of trouble (and Chase beds the FBI agent), and many, many cocktails. It's an elaborate, highly amusing wild ride, as these two would-be detectives go - in drag - as undercover prostitutes, search for clues at a Mormon retreat center, dodge a bunch of hit men, and try to separate the "good guys" from the "bad guys" in a rather complex mystery that would stand on its own merits.
This is author Rosen's third full-length madcap novel, and they get better each time. A perfect escapist read that will serve up both laughs and page-turning suspense, mixed together in a perfect combination by this master storyteller. Five stars out of five.
