Swords and sorcery and sex-magic, oh my!

When young Ander leaves the bordello in which he's been raised accompanied by the lithe and sexy Sorel and Nicolai, he meets Thane and is quickly initiated into a group of mages who use sex magic to oppose the evil zamandir who is looking to rule the kingdom through force of arms, torture and blood magic.

Book 1Apprenticed to Pleasure sees them defeat the zamandir's early plot but there's no time to rest. Now that the zamandir knows he has opposition, will the mages have the time to conceal themselves, work on their arts, and to recruit new members? Those questions are answered in book two Conjuring the Flesh

In addition to all the hot pairings required that are absolutely required to fuel their magic, exploring the boundaries of their magic means recruiting new members and there's plenty of willing volunteers in book two.

Yes, this is M/M erotica but there's a story that is so well intertwined into the action that one is sometimes torn between wanting another hot sex scene and wanting a new plot development. And as with the best sex magic, this requires a careful balancing of titillation and pleasure with restraint and patience.

For the most part that balance is achieved in this book, but to be truly sure one should check for oneself.
