SUMMARY: Sarah's husband and Anne's husband are friends. On the one hand, the ladies don't share that same sort affection for one another. On the other hand, Sarah and Anne do find themselves passionately aroused by each other's presence. Notwithstanding this fact, they also enjoy fighting each other when ever they can get a private moment together. COMMENTARY: I enjoyed this story quite a bit. The author does a very nice job with the pacing. He does not rush the story, but at the same time he drops plenty of hints as to where the story is going. I wasn't as impressed with the characters, see the next paragraph for more details. The story is very well edited. I do have one complaint. I had a hard time differentiating between Sarah and Anne. Their only distinguishing characteristics are superficial ones, i.e., hair color, breast size, etc. Adding to the problem, in my opinion, the author chose to switch the point of view back and forth between Sarah and Anne without always beginning a new paragraph. In retrospect, I believe that I might not have gotten as confused as I did, if either (a) the story had been told exclusively from one point of view, or (b) the author had given each of the women distinct personalities. One other thing to note, towards the end the story does seem to get a bit silly. I loved the -- er -- weapons that the main characters/combatants use in the final scene. At the same time, I think that this story will probably appeal more to those who like stories of this genre, whatever that might be. It would not surprise me to learn that it would appeal more to men than women, but I could be wrong. SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: Excellent LINK(S):
