SUMMARY: Jim has developed a crush on Anna, his son's teenage girlfriend. He manages to keep it a secret until Trevor comes to him for advice on how to break up with Anna.

COMMENTARY: I was a bit apprehensive when I picked this story up. I was afraid that the author would cut to the chase a bit too quickly. I am happy to report that the author takes his time and paces the story quite nicely. I am also impressed by the fact that Jim actually seems to have a conscience. After all, Anna is still in high school and is his son's girlfriend. These facts do not escape Jim's notice. He wrestles with them throughout the story. Seeing him do so made the story that much more enjoyable for me.

I can see how some of you might be disturbed by this story, but honestly I think that it is quite well written, with the exception of a few typographical errors. It is also possible that I enjoyed this story because I am male and this seems to be a typical male fantasy, but I prefer to think that the author has done a fine job and deserves some recognition.

SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: Excellent
