REVIEW:
These stories are all told in first person and from one point-of-view. They are all also extremely erotic.
A wonderful story of love lost and found again. Just the right amount of backstory was given to allow me to connect with these two ladies. The massage scene was scorching hot, it had my blood pumping, and girlie bits tingling!
Imagine having a crush on your teacher then twenty years later, while attending a conference, you find yourself sharing a room with her due to a series of events out of your control. That is exactly the situation Gail finds herself in with her former crush, Professor Joanne. I have one word to sum up this story – Brilliant.
Hot damn, I’ll never think of a performance review in the same way again. Wipes brow.
I’m a sucker for a story featuring an older woman/younger woman. However, initially I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy it due to how the two knew each other. But the power dynamics the author spun on it made this another sexy story.
A thirty-year-old woman with a crush on her German tutor makes for another delicious story. I liked both of these ladies and the Berlin setting.
Once I got over the fact the leading ladies were on their honeymoon and my preconceived ideas of how that should be spent, two people celebrating their love, alone – this was one hell of a hot ménage story.
While this story was short, it lacked nothing. The story sucked me in right from the start. I liked the older women, younger girl scenario. If this is the best way to limber up your fingers for piano lessons sign me up!
