There was a whole world to understand and discover. I'm glad Ms. Bast took the time to ease me into Dai, Nico, and Twyla's world. But with any short story, there were a lot of things I wanted to know more about. I wanted more details.I liked the relationship between Nico and Dai and wanted more of their story. The love and devotion between them is overwhelming and beautiful. I almost wanted to see how they got together in more than a by-the-way manner. And the way they cared for Twyla was beautiful as well. To have the men so devoted and caring for her needs is something most women would kill for.Twyla is a conundrum. She's been through the wringer and lived to talk about it. I wanted to feel for her early on. Ms Bast writes her in a fashion that you feel her pain. But her coolness is almost off-putting. I can't at all say I wanted her to get over it, but I had a hard time sympathizing for her petulance.Still, the love scenes absolutely scorch with passion and love. I knew exactly where Dai and Nico stood on her feelings at any moment.If you want a story that is a thrill-ride and sexy as all get out, then you need to read Twilight. I give it 4 cherries.
