political climate.I love that legitimate sex work is, for the most part, treated with respect and that the Guild fights for the rights of protection for sex workers I adore that Afton, who can definitely see the therapeutic and necessary aspects of Lefi being a Bacchi, will probably struggle some with the jealousy Lefi s job requirements bring upbut I think his new found confidence underlying nature makes him mature enough to talk with his lover about it and thus doesn t make an ultimatum for Lefi to quit his job.Afton identifies as malebut even when tha...This book is set in

to the Bacchis Guild, which is a sort of union which forms and protects sex workers He is a Somian, a race that seems to be born for sex, as many characters say in the book He s a green haired, highly

about this And the ending the ending Already looking forward to book 4 I really enjoy Afton s growth and self discovery along with Lefi s love and their relationship.4.5 sensual, steamy stars You might call this book a spin off of the Uncommon Whore series It probably should be best read after An Uncommon Whore, When I Fall and Prince of Faith But I suppose you could also try to read it as a
