COMMENTARY The title is so innocent. It reminds me of something on AMC, but wow is this story hot! The author has done a wonderful job of interweaving the sex and the story line. It starts with the sizzle of sex and ends with it too. The reader knows how the story is going to end, but at the same time the reader does not know the details. If it sounds like I am impressed with this story, then you are on the right track. Do NOT pass GO, do NOT collect $200 until you have read this story. JUDGMENT This is an outstanding story.

COMMENTARY This is a story to be savored. It is well written and I find it very arousing. As the author says in the note before the text, this is not as romantic as some of his other works, but there is more to the story than just sex. I like the characters. They have doubts and desires. Sex is not their only pursuit in life. JUDGMENT This is an outstanding story.

B. Mast M/F Length: 9,600 words SUMMARY Steve meets Mary on the North Shore of Oahu. She teases him mercilessly. COMMENTARY The first five chapters of this incomplete story read like the title. Poor Steve never gets to dip his wick or cum, except for the one time when he jerks himself off. Mary, on the other hand, comes at least three times; with Steve's assistance, of course. I felt teased right along with Steve. I kept on waiting for the moment when Mary would give Steve what she literally has him begging for, but it never comes (and neither does he). This story is very arousing and very well written. Steve is a putz, who lets his cock do all the thinking, and Mary is a tease, who manipulates Steve masterfully (or would that be mistress-fully). They are not deep characters, but I like the way the author uses them. JUDGMENT This is an excellent story (so far).

COMMENTARY This is a quiet, gentle story. I like the descriptions. The author conveys quite a bit, but also leaves quite a bit up to the reader's imagination. It is not clear why the main character does what she does, but the author does make clear what she gets out of what she does. It is an interesting piece. I enjoyed it. JUDGMENT This is an excellent story.

He loves it, and so does she. COMMENTARY I liked this story. I like the way the author builds up the moment, and then cuts away. He gives you just enough details so that you know what is going to happen, but then does not describe it. The details he omits are as important as the ones he includes. JUDGMENT This is an excellent story.

COMMENTARY This is a well written, romantic story. The plot is simple, and the author handles it quite well. The characters seem realistic. There are a few spelling and grammatical errors. JUDGMENT This is an excellent story.

COMMENTARY The story is both amusing and arousing; a nice combination. I like the ending; it goes well with the rest of the story and did not seem forced. The descriptions of sex are graphic, but not so much so that they take away from the development of plot or character. This is not your average sex story, but I like it. JUDGMENT This is an excellent story.

COMMENTARY I cannot think of anything negative to say about this story. It is well paced. I like the characters. I like the build up to the sex and the way the author described the sex. JUDGMENT This is an excellent story.

COMMENTARY I like the twists and turns in this story. The author does not reveal everything, instead he leaves part of it up to the reader's imagination. He made the right choice. JUDGMENT This is an excellent story.

COMMENTARY This is a good start. I liked the way the story develops through the first chapter. I am curious to see where the story will go in future chapters. The story would probably squick some people. Not everyone likes B&D sex stories. This is a good beginning, but what comes next? JUDGMENT This is an excellent beginning.

COMMENTARY This a nice, romantic story that happens to have some sex in it. I like both of the characters. They seem real and they are given real problems to deal with in this story. The plot is well constructed. It moves along at a nice pace. JUDGMENT This is an excellent story.

COMMENTARY This is a well written, arousing, sex story. What more could I ask for? The plot is well paced. The sex does not dominate the story. I like the characters. JUDGMENT This is an excellent story.

COMMENTARY The story is well paced. It is both arousing and romantic. I like the way the author transitions from the present to the past, and then back again. JUDGMENT This is an excellent story.

Part 1 - Hazy Shade of Winter [Rogue Review No. 73] Part 2 - Summertime Blues [Rogue Review No. 125] Part 3 - Season of the Witch [Rogue Review No. 144] Part 4 - April Showers [Rogue Review No. 162] Part 5 - The Cruelest Month Part 6 - The Real World Part 7 - A Time to Cast Away Stones SUMMARY Sam hopes to sneak a peak at Julie, while she is in the shower, and ends up getting more than he bargained for. COMMENTARY This story took me by surprise. It did not exactly go in the direction that I thought it would. I like that. The fact that Sam had conflicting emotions made this story not just enjoyable, but also somewhat plausible. I enjoyed watching Sam try to resist Julie's advances. JUDGMENT This is an excellent story. LINKS http://x5.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=373022559 http://www.qz.to/erotica/assm/Year98/13183.txt ----- No. 169 - August 27, 1998 Sharing by E. Z. Riter M/F Length: 3,700 words SUMMARY Monica likes to have sex twice a week. Jack, Monica's lover, likes to have sex seven nights a week. Monica comes up with a solution. COMMENTARY This story kept me on edge. I like it. I kept wondering when things were going to devolve, and as far as I can tell they never did. It is a stroke story, but it is very well written. The author did not draw things out too much. I really liked the opening dialogue between Jack and Monica. JUDGMENT This is an excellent story.

COMMENTARY The author takes her time. The main character is not chock full o' cock by the second paragraph. I like that. Sex is not the only turn on for the main character. She seems to get off on being horny as much as she does on getting laid. I like that. JUDGMENT This is an excellent story.
