I could not bother finishing it once halfway through. It was too sterile for me to count it as decent erotica. Perhaps I was just expecting too much, but I found what I did manage to read on the dull and predictable side.  Other reviewers have said there's a bite of a twist at the end.  I didn't make it that far, though with as many times as the author hinted of the male lead's oh so charming draw it was clear some "supernatural" twist was in store.  Unfortunately this short tale just can't hang with other sharp toothed treats.  The possibility of serving up something delightful was there, alas a lack of skilled seasoning left this reader with a rather bland and unsatisfying dish.This is the first short story amongst the free "Naughty Nooners" I have tried out.  I hope it isn't representing the other titles well.  For if it is, there is a very good reason they are free.  With that said, from what I did manage to read, (the first half) the author has potential. It just feels like more practice and perhaps some quality feedback from a well written erotica author or editor could do a world of good and help remove the flavoring of a novice.  [Written on my Kindle and the return key isn't starting new paragraphs for me so please excuse this hell of a run on.  Also, while my review may seem harsh, I applaud anyone who has the courage to write erotica that even so much as tiptoes outside of mainstream acceptance and places it where any Tom, Dick, or Harry can comment on it.  This particular short just lacked a lot to be desired and reminds me of something one might find on a website like Literotica by the dozen.]
