SUMMARY: Warren drops in on Abby, one Sunday.

COMMENTARY: Don't read too much into the title of this story. It doesn't have anything to do with advice columnists. It is, however, an enjoyable read. The sex is passionate. There isn't a whole lot to the plot, but part of the fun in reading it is watching how Warren and Abby interact. In other words it doesn't really matter that the story is thin in the plot department, in my opinion, of course.

One thing that does strike me about this story: there are places where the action seems to jump forward in time without any visual or textual reference to indicate what's happening. This threw me off a bit. It also seemed as though there were places where details were included for no particular reason. By themselves, these details did not help to make the situation any more real for me. I took them as precursors, although nothing really followed them, so they weren't precursors. This left me wondering why include these details in the first place. They bumped me off track a bit; they distrubed the flow for me.

Most of you should enjoy this story, although it is a bit subdued. If you prefer something a bit more intense or kinky then you may want to pass on this one.

OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: 7.5 (out of 10)

  • Arousal: 3/5
  • Editing: 5/5
  • Plot and Characters: 4/5

SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: Very Good
