Aneshu's Folly by L.E. Bryce

[reviews_and_ramblings]

I remember with pleasure Aneshu, the first book in the adventures of Aneshu, a former sex slave now actor, but always a slave. Aneshu always draws the attention of high class men, but he is more than aware of his status. He is a good actor, but a simple man with simple desires; he has no dreams to better his status and at the end of the first book he was content with his lover Elami, another former sex slaves turned actor. On the contrary of Aneshu, Elami is a witty and sparkling man, always searching to be at the center of attention; but despite is coquettish behavior, Elami really loves Aneshu.

And so it's with regret that Aneshu accepts to be sent in a far kingdom, to spy on the guardian of the future bride of his king. He is said to be a spy, but he is not prepared to the man he has to spy. Handsome and young, Amiru both temps and repels Aneshu. It's not even a question of being faithful to Elami, I think Aneshu is well aware that is lover probably is not a man to be faithful himself, it's more a question to fear the unknown. Even if a former sex slave, Aneshu is quite "ordinary" in his desires, and he doesn't wish to change it.

The setting is again a fantasy kingdom with an arabian feeling. Aneshu and Elami's love story opens and closes the novella, and in the end, the author makes a detour on her usual way to write sex, sensual but not explicit, to add a bit of spiciness and naughtiness, but even then, she always remains classy.

Lush is quite a right word to describe these books. Elisa
