Review - Choir Boy by Jay L. North
My rating: 
At the age of 20, Isa is a little old for the choir, but he does like singing. He likes Father Malcolm even more. Isa is desperate for the big priest to initiate him into the pleasures of the flesh. He’s seen what many of the other pastors and elders get up to with the male members of the seraglio, and Isa wants to experience those things for himself. Isa comes up with a crazy plan that he thinks will show the Father he is ready.

My rating:
