It is great to find a women writing erotica that celebrates sex without fitting into the overgrown genres of erotic romance or literary erotica. Sara Winters introduces Chris, a famous actor with conflicting feelings about sex--and Desiree an adventurous erotica and fan-fiction writer. The characters have an authentic feeling and the story sets up a no-hold-barred sexy evening that leaves them both with fond memories. The set-up creates some great sexual tension, although the ending of the story is somewhat anti-climactic.
I found the story a bit muddled, however. It opens with a section of introspection and exposition that was long, especially given the story is only novelette length. The point-of-view shifts rather a lot and the sexual scenario involves the characters switching Dom and sub roles rapidly back and forth without and prior arrangements or limits. Overall I felt the sex was not really very daring given that heroine's persona as an erotica writer who tests her plots in real life. Overall the story was certainly a fun read but not as satisfying as it could have been of the sexual scenario was more focused and adventurous and the ending provided more of a resolution.
RATING: 5/10
