SUMMARY: Dan is convinced that Sandra is the woman for him. Sandra is willing to accept a romantic relationship with Dan only if he is willing to accept that she is bisexual and in a relationship with an unmarried couple (Sara and Jeff), and is open to the idea of sleeping with all three of them.

COMMENTARY: This was an interesting read for me, primarily because I don't read many stories that involve male bisexuality.

I like the premise behind the story. The main character is faced with a dilemma: adopt a bisexual lifestyle (within the confines of a foursome) or lose the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. Dan is a man who considers himself heterosexual, not bisexual or homosexual. This isn't an easy decision for him to make. He doesn't have a moral problem with being part of a bisexual foursome. He enjoys Jeff's company, but he just isn't sure if he can enjoy sex with Jeff or whether sleeping with Jeff too steep a price to pay in order to be with Sandra.

The author does a credible job with the story, spending relatively equal amounts of time on hot sex, plot development and character development. There are two things that I found disappointing. One, there are a number of spelling errors. Two, the male-male sex seemed much more mechanical than the male-female sex. Admittedly, Dan is a bit reluctant, but still it would have been nice if the descriptions of sex between Dan and Jeff had been a bit more lush.

If you don't care for stories involving male bisexuality, then you may not care for this one.

OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: 8.0 (out of 10)

  • Arousal: 4/5
  • Editing: 4/5
  • Plot and Characters: 4/5
