Reactions and Reviews

1992

Wow! What an erotic, sensuous bit of writing. I really admire the ability to keep a sex scene interesting for pages and pages. There is some very fresh writing here, with little of the mundane, over-used phrases. And even with all that, this story still managed to have warm feelings of raw affection underlining it. An enjoyable read. [1]

Presented with seven hours trapped in an Enterprise lift, alone together, the outcome wasn't exactly a shock, but it was charmingly and enjoyably done. My favorite lines? "How long have you wanted to do that?" "For approximately as long as you have wanted me too." [2]

2000

Ah, a malfunctioning turbolift. And guess who’s stranded inside? Things happen rather quickly in this immodest little story — it’s an easy read with few surprises but entertaining nonetheless. [3]
