SUMMARY: Barbara gives her husband a very special gift for Valentine's Day. She invites her friend, Veronica, to join them in bed. COMMENTARY: This one is a little different. The author may not like this, but I'm going to say it anyway, there is a twist at the end of the story. It isn't that I wasn't expecting some sort of a twist in the tale, but in this case I feel that the twist did not work completely. It was too abrupt and did not keep the story flowing in the same general direction, in my opinion. It wasn't quite a hairpin turn, but it did alter the mood of story dramatically. Aside from the ending, I enjoyed the story. The characters seemed realistic enough. The sex was hot. It is probably much more of a male fantasy than female fantasy one, but the twist at the ending, well that's all I going to say. You'll just have to read it and judge for yourself whether the story and the ending work. ... After I wrote this review I looked back and noticed that the story codes reveal much more than the title does. Um, in other words, I should not have been surprised as I was by the ending. Is there a moral to this paragraph? Maybe. Oh, you actually want to know what it is? Well, um, I guess it is that if you want a better idea as to what a story is about before reading it, then maybe you should try reading the story codes, unlike me. OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: 7.5 (out of 10)
SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: Very Good LINK(S):
