Before writing my review I took the time to read the others, and I must say my opinion differs quite a bit from the 1,2, and 3-star reviews. First of all, about the tag-teaming implying more than two people. Okay, this is true, but it was very clear in the opening pages that TAG referred to the name of the team, not the following activity.Second- I didn't find the characters flat or one-dimensional at all. I found them perfectly believable. The lead male wanted more than just a brief encounter with her. She'd obviously been hurt before and wanted nothing too deep or meaningful.Third- the fact that he used a condom during their encounter? I loved it. They knew there was a CHANCE they'd die- he took the time to protect them both in case they survived. That shows he cared a lot about her, and that's wonderful. I personally hate the stories with strangers, or virtual strangers as this pair was, decide to have random unprotected sex. In real life you'd shake your head at their stupidity, so I liked that tidbit a lot.And to the critics who say the story was underdeveloped? It was a short story- that means it's short, so there won't be an abundance of detail. What detail was there was clear, necessary and fitting to the mood of the story.I gave this author 5 stars because she deserves them. Very well-written, no real typos that I remember stumbling across, and definitely worth a download.
