Imago is the story of finding love, bow ties, and butterflies

Lawson Gale is a bow tie wearing butterfly specialist on his way to search for a non existent butterfly. He accidently bumps into the very handsome Parks and Wildlife Officer, Jack Brighton, who ends up giving him a ride. From there, sparks fly. Two totally opposite people, yet they were perfect for each other.

He dressed like it was 1920s and he spoke the Queen’s English like he’d just swallowed the Oxford Dictionary.
He made my ...more

4.5 Butterfly Stars!
Imagines is the sweet and romantic second book/conclusion to the Imago series. It is a beautiful story that kept me engaged and entertained throughout.
Very little angst, lots of humour, lots of family, lots of love...lots of Rosemary. This is, after all, Jack and Lawson's story. ...more

Well, first things first. Something or more precisely someone tried to taint this story. And that infuriates me. Because this is a beautiful story and it deserves to shine without any blemishes. To the person that took advantage of the trust placed in bloggers…you suck! As they say, it only takes one person and this time it was you. I hope that sits on your conscious. Okay, now that I have that off my chest, let’s move on….

If you’ve read Imago then you know what to expect with this sequel. It’s Well, first things first. Something or more precisely someone tried to taint this story. And that infuriates me.

If you’ve read Imago then you know what to expect with this sequel. It’s the same goodness we are blessed with in the first book. If you haven’t met our quirky lepidopterist and his favorite guy, you’re missing out on lots of warm fuzzies. Sometimes I need to take book refuge and seek comfort in the pages of an author I trust. I trust Walker to take good care of me when I escape into my literary world. *hugs* Thank you for allowing me a safe haven when I need it.

This sequel contains butterflies, bowties and the blending of two beautiful hearts. Are you ready?

What's to like: I’m happy to say we are whisked back into an outdoor adventure…in the rainforest. The guys have been happily together for half a year and still seem to be tackling some final ‘firsts’ together. This is their first holiday as a couple and of course, it’s bound to have some heart pumping excitement. It’s not all romantic dinners and tender kisses this time around. Jack almost loses Lawson and I admit I was chewing my fingernails for a couple of pages. Lawson is trying to help save an endangered species and I was rooting for him the whole time.

What's to love: Jack and Lawson are simply adorable together. I loved witnessing how they love each other. Jack is extremely protective of his scientist but my heart melted when Lawson returned the tender gestures. Their connection, their bond, their…love is what makes this story so amazing. I hope their adventures are not over, for I am not finished with them. The epilogue was absolute perfection. So. Much. Goodness.

Beware of: Easy flow, low angst and downright book comfort. If you need your heart torn into pieces, look elsewhere.

This book is for: Outdoor adventure lovers will certainly appreciate this lovely tale, but you don’t have to hug on trees to enjoy it. It’s definitely a follow up from book one and shouldn’t be read as a stand-alone.

*4 stars*

This was book 2 in the "Imago" series. Jack Brighton and Lawson Gale have been together for six months and are very much in love. When Jack suggests they take a short trip, Lawson agrees. But then he is offered a two-week research position in tropical Queensland to help determine why the Ulysses butterfly is on the decline. Figuring they could combine work and pleasure Jack and Lawson go on their first vacation together. This was a pretty good read, and I loved the plants and butterflies. Th ...more
