Product Description
Review
"Ford expands his repertoire with this brimful first novel...a satisfying beach book...a pleasant fiction debut."
Product Description
From Michael Thomas Ford, the critically acclaimed author of Last Summer and Alec Baldwin Doesn't Love Me, comes this sizzling collection of fantasies culled from more than a decade of his best erotic work. These stories of heat, lust, desire, need, and transformation-an Olympian bacchanal, a chance meeting in the men's room, an S&M-fueled "coaching" session, a police officer who'll do what it takes to get a confession-are as incredibly hot as they are exquisitely crafted. There's "Becoming Al," an "X-rated Flannery O'Connor story" that takes place on the stage at a male peep show. The mosh pit of an underground club brings two punks to the edge and over in the adrenaline-charged "Diving the Pit." A gorgeous window washer gives a worker drone some high-rise sex in "Washing Up." And the power of a young man's first sexual awakening-and the reunion it inspires twenty years later-lies at the heart of the achingly sensual "The Boys of Summer." Along the way, Ford turns up the heat by confessing the naughty personal thoughts that inspired his steamiest erotica. A visit to his incredibly sexy dentist led to Ford's delicious story of one explosive oral exam in "The Check Up." The summer sounds drifting up from the New York City streets on a hot summer night influenced Ford's sinfully sexy voyeuristic fantasy, "Wednesday, 2 A.M." A hunky conductor on a commuter train gave Ford lustful thoughts and a whole new meaning for the term "Riding the Rails." And the discovery of anonymous nude Polaroids gave birth to the no-holds-barred "Dirty Pictures." Hard-core, tender, imaginative, candid, and just plain hot, these stories prove that when it comes to erotica that's down-and-dirty AND intelligent, nobody does it better than Michael Thomas Ford.

Ford says that he started writing pornographic short stories to make money but wanted to make them literary as well. He succeeds brilliantly in this book which never fails on either count: these are good stories, satisfying both as arousing erotica and as well crafted and original tales. Particularly appealing to me is the story of the guy sitting out on his fire escape in a hot New York summer and watching two guys make out on the hood of their car in the street below. Ford builds erotic tension to perfection.

I cant see buying this without knowing what it is.
For what it is, gay fiction/porn, it's good. Some is really great but none of it insults the reader. I liked this book and was surprised it was as good as it was. Ford holds his own with the best in the genre.
Thanks Michael.

Hot erotic writing

I first read this fiction in two books by Tom Caffrey, Hitting Home and Tales from the Men's Room. It's nice to have them all in one book. I've always wondered about the man behind the fiction and so I read Mr. Ford's foreword with interest.
But if you like Ford's other writing and are expecting the same in Tangled Sheets, at least read the backcover and other information Amazon has included about this book before you purchase it, are disappointed, and write a review expressing your distaste.

Erotica

Format:Paperback
For readers who enjoyed this author's later books, this one might shock. I didn't understand the low ratings for it until I read one of his other books. If you enjoy extremely literate, creative and graphically sexy short stories about gay men, you will love this book. I did.
