Product Description
One of the world's most beloved stories as it has never been told before, Unmasqued is a novel of breathtaking historical erotica. His exquisite obsession... Christine Daa heard rumors of the hideous Phantom said to haunt the great Opera House in 19th-century Paris. But its youngest and brightest star knows something no one else does-the truth. For in the darkness she thrills to the deep velvet timbre of his arousing voice, and quivers to the soft strokes of his leather-gloved fingers. He is real. Her inspiration. Her Musique d'Ange. Her liberator. Her erotic awakening... Condemned to the catacombs below, Erik has desired his obsession from the shadows, careful to keep his identity, and his secret, in the dark. Only he understands Christine's extraordinary talents and her beauty. Only he can pleasure her like no man has before. But his sensual power comes with a price-and a risk to everyone who stands between them. For Christine too is succumbing to her most forbidden and dangerous desires-and to the Phantom who's making them all come true.

 What do you mean not everyone wants to have sex with a psychotic stranger with a rope fetish? November 27, 2008
The author and the publishing company need to issue formal apologies to their female readers (not that it wasn't an assault on my refined masculine sensibilities!) since they imagine this sort of demeaning filth is what satisfies them. To listen to the message they're giving out, every woman's fondest dream is to be helpless, psychologically manipulated and raped. There's something seriously wrong with that.
This book isn't about wild, wanton and kinky sex. In certain doses, some of that can be fun. It was a fabulous thought, both scandalous and exciting, that the proper Madame Giry had a lot more going on under those petticoats than she let on! But there's a difference between Madame Giry having a good tumble in Box Five and Carlotta being chained and tortured for Philippe's enjoyment. And that's exactly what it was: abuse.
Unmasqued only achieves in turning Phantom phans away in disgust.

i honestly thought that this book was going to be the original novel with sex thrown in. But it is much more then that, in fact, its amazing, not only the totally seducing sex scenes, but the intelligent plot which is excellently carried out to a beautiful ending. I honestly can say i COULDN'T put this book down once i started.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN PHANTOM OF THE OPERA OR EVER READ THE BOOK. THIS STORY WAS SEXUALLY EXCELLENT, IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. AROUND EVERY CORNER THERE WAS AN EXPLICIT SCENE, BONDAGE, ENTRAPMENT, GREED AND JEALOUSY. THE BOOK KEPT ME ON EDGE AND I AM SURE IT IS NOTHING LIKE ITS PRIM AND PROPER PREDECESSORS. IT IS A MUST READ TO THE END. DURING SOME POINTS I FOUND MYSELF FRUSTRATED WITH CHRISTINES ABILITY TO SEE AND FEEL THE ONE TRUE LOVE IN HER LIFE!

I have never read an erotic novel before but there's a first time for everything. I have to say I found it a little less than appealing. Somewhat repetitive, everyody involved spends a little to much time tied up. Also noticed a distinct over use of the word "Slck"......
No Romance, just sex.....LOTS of it August 9, 2008

I am a HUGE phan of the Phantom story. Loved the stage show and LOVED the movie (and music!) with Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum. It was the movie that turned me into such a huge fan. I started reading Phantom fan fiction because I couldn't get enought of it and that's all I have been reading this year.
I am also an avid Romance reader. I understood when I purchased this book that it was an Erotic tale of Phantom of the Opera. I understood that there would be more graphic and detailed sex scenes and I was OK with that. I have to admit this was the first Erotic novel I have read let alone purchased and I was curious. I also thought that Phantom erotica was a good way to introduce me to this genre.
I was a bit taken back. Ms Gale opens with an author's note that the story contained within these pages is the TRUE story of Christine Daae and the de Chagny's taken from Ms Daae's personal diary, however, all other information will remain anonymous as to protect theses families.
Take that however you want to. I thought it was a load of hogwash. You will definitely think so after you read the book.
This book contains very graphic sex scenes from cover to cover. So much so, it became a distraction to a story line that was hiding in there...somewhere. There was no romance.....just animalistic, perverted, S and M torture and sex. This was NOT the Phantom erotica I was hoping for. I wanted to be wooed, wowed and melt reading about a tortured soul finding love and physical companionship.
Although, I do want to mention that the first two sex scenes between the two main characters (trying not to spoil to much here) were a turn on, however, the book takes a downward plunge real quick after that. All the other characters' sex scenes I could have done without. In fact, if you removed all the sex from this book, you would be left with a very, very short story.
Yes, I was disappointed. I thought Ms Gale was onto something special with the Phantom story. There was no love or romance in this novel. Just sex and too much of it that it became distasteful and dishonoring to a much loved story. Instead, Ms Gale turned a story of love, romance, obsession, hope and redemption and turned it into a slut house of horrors.
If you are looking for a Phantom book that contains love and romance and tasteful sex, I highly recommend Sadie Montgomery's four book series which follows right where the movie left off. "Phoenix of the Opera", "Out of Darkness", "Phantom's Opera" and "Phantom Death" are well worth the money and time to read. I still feel Ms Montgomery's series is the best I have read thus far.
As the old saying goes....if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Off to write a GOOD erotic tale of the Phantom of the Opera. Cheers!
