Yay for increased vocabulary! Aww, Ning, you make me blush. :D
I deliberately kept Franco vague: if you don't know The Dresden Files, a very good series, then it's easier for him to just possibly be another mage. Allie gets on with other mages like a cat gets on with strange other cats. However, some of the people who are doing the sporking/summary of the source material, Fifty Shades of Grey, thought that the book would be much improved if Franco, the Flamboyantly Gay European hairdresser, was actually Thomas Raith, an incubus from The Dresden Files who masquerades as a flamboyantly gay french hairdresser in order to feed without having to go the whole seduction route and possibly put his partners in danger. (Incubuses can, in that universe, feed just a little off somebody when they give them a shampoo, so with a regular day job that equates to some harmless snacking, Thomas keeps himself pretty well fed.)
It's a good series. I'm not certain it can be gotten over where you live, though. :(
