Romancing the Fox by John Tucker comes on like a blast from the past from the Jacqueline Suzanne novels of the Seventies. With casting couches, oversexed Hollywood movers and shakers, and quivering flesh at every turn, this is a refresher course on how to make stars and influence the industry. The major protagonist, John McKenzie, fulfills his secret desires by hiring a porn star as the leading lady in his film project. After a number of interviews with tramps representing all categories of porn, Jenna Fox appears as his wet dream cum (!) true. Yet he learns a painful lesson about mixing business with pleasure, and the title of his screenplay, Hell Hath No Fury, becomes a harbinger of the old saying about a woman scorned.Characteristic of most softcore porn, the author’s work is largely satirical in nature. He pokes fun at the materialistic nature of sexploitation as the act of love is devaluated to the level of sexual currency. There is also the superficiality of the relationships between the participants, both coital and personal. We also see elements of romantic comedy as John McKenzie makes the transition from producer to john, forgetting that the only one who truly gets screwed in the skin game is the customer. It is Megan and Marley who enter the picture and drive a wedge between John and his dream girl, making him realize the folly of building one’s hopes and dreams on shifting sands of self-deception.This is an entertaining romp through the bedrooms of the rich and famous, and is recommended for romantic comedy buffs who enjoy some hot spicy sex with their after-dinner cocktails. Romancing the Fox by John Tucker is a worthy addition to the adult comedy genre you won’t want to miss.
