5.0 out of 5 stars
Gay erotic sword and sorcery! Excellent!, July 10, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Apprenticed to Pleasure: An Erotic Sci-Fi Novel (Paperback)
This is an erotic novel (definitely!), but it's even more a sword and sorcery adventure and a gay romance. The main character is a young musician named Ander, and the story starts when he meets two foxy guys who visit the brothel where he works. Trouble shows up and Ander discovers his new friends are far more mysterious than he had imagined. I love the characters, who are people you really like and enjoy having adventures with. They are emotionally involved with each other. I think this makes the erotica way more interesting than in most novels. The sex is vital to the plot, not just thrown in. There are lots of surprises and an element of humor. So if you like classic sword and sorcery (colorful magic, quests and adventures) as well as gay erotica, this is your book. I thought it was a blast

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not as good as I'd hoped, January 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Apprenticed to Pleasure: An Erotic Sci-Fi Novel (Paperback)
I was hoping for freshness and originality in this novel because it features gay sorcerers whose magic depends on sex, which is a plot device I haven't come across very often. However, I found the plot to be ordinary and sparse. I felt that the characters were all the same; handsome, horny, intelligent, amiable. It was hard for me to tell them apart. Also, I felt that the language Fox used was too precious, if you know what I mean. Words and phrases like "handsome youths", "godlike", and "magnificent body", were used constantly, and everyone was always kissing tenderly, caressing gently. I felt the sex scenes could have been much more arousing, but, as I said, the characters were interchangeable and the writing was cliche; all the sex acts seemed the same. I would have liked to see different acts associated with individual spells, for example. All in all, I was disappointed with the book, although if you want a quick, easy read with lots of explicit sex, this is your book.

"As a musician in Pella's finest brothel, Ander thought he knew all about sex between men. He was wrong. Two visitors, handsome young lovers, draw him irresistibly to a revelation: intense pleasure can be a gateway to magical realms, and sex is the key that opens the gate..." 192 pp.- From Leyland Publications
