SUMMARY: Jack is reunited with his nineteen-year-old daughter, Jenny, sixteen years after his divorce.

COMMENTARY: There isn't a whole lot more to the plot, otherwise the summary I wrote would have been longer. For the most part the story consists of Jack and Jenny becoming more and more comfortable with one another until eventually, well, I'm sure you can do the math.

What I like about this story is the patience that the author shows. He does not have his characters leap into bed with one another at the first opportunity. Instead he draws out the sexual tension between them.

On the down side, I did find the story to be a bit lacking. For starters, the title is somewhat misleading. Maybe the author came up with the title first and then tried writing the story. Suffice it to say that mother doesn't appear in too many scenes in this story. Another thing that bothered me about the story is an episode that occurs towards the end of part one. It seemed very disconnected from the rest of the story. It was relatively short and did not disturb the flow of the plot too much, but it certainly came out of nowhere.

Finally, I would prefer to have see a little more focus on character development and a little less focus on the action. [Please note that "I" is the operative word in that last sentence. I just stated my opinion, I did not reveal some hidden truth about this story. We now return you to our regularly scheduled review, already in progress.] In particular Jenny seemed underdeveloped to me. The fact that Jack narrates the story might be partly to blame.

In the end, I found this to be a fun read, but can accept that some of you might not, due to the subject matter.

SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: Very Good
