Review: Don't Judge a book by the title!

Just finished  "The Use and Complexity of Sex Magic" . I liked it  much more than I thought I would judging by the title. Set in another world, another time and place this book has enough plot,story line and good characterizations that I kept reading  because the "sex magic" actually was central to the development of the plot,  not just the standard boring mandatory sex scene every x amount of pages.The central character is a young fairly sensible girl thrown into a situation which leaves her homeless, vunerable  and alone in the world.  The hero is an important personage with many traits common to good-looking over confidant males of any ilk or age. (rather come into my parlor said the spider to the fly -ish) She trusts him in spite of her better instincts and well, all the "sex magic" wasn't from a book of spells! In spite of her possibly precarious status she developes enough of a backbone(HURRAY!) to stand up for her beliefs and a fledging sense of self worth.  There's lots of directions a sequel could take..will be waiting to see what happens next.
