Ma Ma Loa: A Waikiki Vampire Valentine’s Day by A. J. Llewellyn is the third story in the Waikiki Vampire series.

Tem is depressed and in his dreams reliving his days as a porn star. At that time, Tem was called Angelis and thought he had the world on a string until he met his match in Jimmy Thunder, who was everything he ever wanted in a mate. Jimmy, a vampire, loved Tem so much that he agreed to turn him into a vampire so they could live out their lives together. Things were fantastic, and when Tem found a demon baby on his doorstep, he put his heart and soul into loving the child. Now that the baby is back with his parents, Tem feels lost. Dev, knowing it is Valentine's Day, decides to not only take Tem’s mind off his loss in the most carnal sense but maybe find a way to help Tem fulfill his desire to care for little ones. In Dev’s mind, Tem keeps reading "Ma Ma Loa'" but Dev refuses to tell him what it means. In Hawaii there are many ancient traditions that as a three-hundred year old Vampire Dev has knowledge. What could be Dev’s surprise be, and will it help Tem regain his zest for life?

Mr. Llewellyn has continued his series with this loving and erotic story. The setting and visual descriptions of Hawaii bring the story to life for the reader. I love reading each book as we learn more about the characters as they live out their lives. The use of old traditions handed down through the ages brings a sense of reality to the story. Tem is the kind of person to take in strays of any kind, and Dev will never say no, even when it could cause him heart break later on. The solution that Dev finds is unique and very fitting for the time of year. The love between Dev and Tem is beautiful to behold. I will be waiting for further books in the Waikiki Vampire series.
