Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Kidnapped’ gets a gay makeover in this witty and hardcore novel of lust and love set against the backdrop of the Jacobite rebellion in 18th Century Scotland.  This is a historical trouser ripper and homoerotic novel of some class.

‘The Low Road’ is the story of wealthy, good looking and well hung Charles Gordon as he navigates a treacherous world of political and sexual intrigue with the admirable intention of freeing the man he loves from jail. 

Charles finds plenty of men willing to lend a helping hand, mouth or more. The novel is full of interwoven stories of spies and counterspies, scheming servants, sadistic captains, tavern trysts and prison orgies and dear old Gordon spends more than half the book bedding stable boys, a pack of horny pirates and even a regiment of lust starved troops. You certainly get a lot of rococo rooting and humping for your groat with this book.

These sexually charged and erotically stuffed books by James Lear (Erotic writer of the year!)  are becoming something of a phenomena for the sophisticated reader of gay male fiction. They nod towards historical accuracy and the sex is well realised and engaging, if a tad relentless!

This is a fun, one handed read with an attention-grabbing plot and if you’re tired of the usual American jock-buff-fare, and finding it all a little predictable, then this erotically charged and unabashedly sexual novel could be the one to while away a few dark hours with and revitalise your sexual imagination.
