Product Description
Product Description
Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped gets a gay makeover in this witty, hardcore picaresque novel set in 18th-century Scotland. Author James Lear expertly interweaves spies and counterspies, scheming servants and sadistic captains, tavern trysts and prison orgies into this delightfully erotic work that can take its place alongside his acclaimed novels The Back Passage and Hot Valley.

This is James Lear's first - and recently republiched - book. For those of us who missed it first time round, the wait was worth it. This is Cold Glen to the author's later Hot Valley i.e. it contains what has now become a familiar mixture - and none the worse for that. The hero, scion of a Suart-supporting Highland family that has fallen on hard times is introduced in his teens to the pleasures offered by family retainers, specificaly the family groom, and he proves a quick learner. When a new tutor arrives there is clearly mutual attraction between the two hidden by resentment and reserve. But when the tutor is taken captive, our hero sets off in pursuit. He is not a young man to be deterred from his goal by moral scruple and Lear treats us to a series of arousing erotic adventures in which everyone from ruffians, to a ship's company, to army officers get their man. Lear deploys a trick he uses to good effect later in Hot Valley - increasing the erotic action by having the imprisoned tutor write to his charge of his own love for him and of his serial incapacity to resist having other sexual adventures on the way to a hoped-for reunion.
Wonderful, bawdy, supercharged gay erotic writing. Best read in the privacy of your own room.

The very first James Lear novel, an erotic reworking of RLS's Kidnapped. Please please please don't pay the ridiculous prices for second-hand copies - it's being reissued by Cleis in autumn 2009 at a very sensible price. Please buy that edition, and help poor old Mr Lear to eke out his pension, rather than lining the pockets of the dealers!

This, I believe, is James Lear's first novel and judging by the prices it reaches here on Amazon a great collectible too.
There is an article on Lear in the current edition of Bent magazine. It is a naughty homo erotic piece of confectionery with added historic content.He has recently branched out into the detective genre with naughty bits. Definitely a bedtime read!
