Robin Anderson Author Reviews

Five Caballeros

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"No one can write hilarious fiction with as many sexy zingers and
wild characters as he"
Grady Harp - April 2020

Anyone who has read previous books by the inimitable Robin Anderson is in for a treat with FIVE
CABALLEROS. Anderson has polished his recipe for entertainment to a fare-thee-well. He creates
impossibly ludicrous characters who happen to bounce off each other in the most unexpected way, fills
his stories with incidents that can only fall into the 'naughty range', and yet his manner of writing is so
sophisticated and solid that about one third of the way through his books the reader realizes the farce
is meant as good-humored fun and should not be taken too seriously or dissected or analyzed because
the author is always just around the corner (or on the next page) with another guffaw to top all previous ones.

In this new novel Robin creates some of his best characters, and for a hint of the components of the story (and Robin’s hilarious writing style), the novel’s ‘opening’ offers the following: ‘Triple lucky me to have three lovely ladies in my life. Three dazzling ladies in fact (I believe in being exact) whom I call my gay caballeros: a somewhat obtuse connotation in that I regard myself and Ashley Wickes as the fourth and fifth. A further connotation being the fact that Ashley and I are full red-blooded gay males while the other three ladies in our close-knit group are one hundred percent full-blooded turn-on examples of the feminam speicei…’

The story – Counterparts of historical characters Al Capone and Pretty Boy Floyd are introduced as the sinister Jason Li, the artistic Tyler Hobart, Sammi (I do more than sing for my supper) Sing. Or as Robin shares, ‘With three wannabe bilionairesses determined on achieving such gilded roles - their ambitions aided and abetted by the sartorial duo of Tyler Hobart and Ashley Wicks - the determined trio soon discover what begins as a fun-filled quest quickly changes to a horror-filled fest. From sunny Portofino to Jack the Ripper’s grisly London and from Texas with its chainsaws to Rio de Janeiro and its swinging boldeodoras the valiant three - Maddy Swanson, Tracy Bussell and Cherry Archer - do their utmost to prove that three into two can go. Will-they-or-won’t-they? That is the question.’ The ‘insider’ references to real people are terrific!

Climb on board, if you've a mind to, and go for another outrageous Robin Anderson ride.
