Making A Mage: A Lover and a Fighter
Jacques was orphaned when his father disappeared on a hunt and grows up in a village too small for a name, his only friend the daughter of his foster parents. He expects nothing more than to help around the inn and the herbalist shop for the rest of his life. That all changes when an injured mage stops at the inn to recover and Jacques’ talent for healing is discovered. He is then whisked off to the Académie de Magie for training to serve the kingdom where Jacques’ life and aspirations change dramatically. His sense of honor and justice will make him fast friends and deadly enemies. A brush with death makes him realize that a mage doesn’t need a weapon, he is a weapon. Jacques will learn to be an empathetic healer and be forced to become a ruthless defender.

Surprisingly engaging for an erotic novel about a gigolo.
The MC started out as an innkeepers helper, but becomes a masseuse with a specalty in carnal activities. Then he is recruited for training at a mage academy. He excells in his studies as well as continuing his masseuse side gig. He also gets some steady girlfriends among the academy students. Bad actors make their presence known too, but he deals with them effectively.
The book was well written, interesting and engaging. There was quite a bit of erotic content, hey its in the title that he's a gigolo. Yet even the erotic content was well crafted, not smut, which is always a concern. The MC used his wits to put his advesaries in their place (in the ground), not just relying on magic to solve issues. Actually it was rather refreshing.

Great start to a new series
A great slice of life story. It is nice to have a story that does not have the main character in a life or death situation 24/7. I look forward to the next book.

A Captivating story
These 3 books are a very very thrilling read , Actually a great story. However The story is much diminished by the grammatical and spelling errors that are prevalent throughout all 3 books. But I would recommend these books.

Amazon has tricked me into reading porn again. Honestly I am perfectly capable of seeking it out on my own if I want to, Amazon. I didn’t get very far. Unlike the main character! Ho ho.

Good progression story
In many ways, I’m guessing the life of the MC is somewhat close to a medieval person, but his magical abilities open a lot of interesting questions.

This was a riot
If you read this as the light hearted romp it was meant to be, you'll love it. I had a few issues with mana cost and where fireballs can originate, but it was fun.
