I don't want to rain on anyone's parade here since it seems that I'm the minority here with 3 stars, but here are my thoughts on It's Just Sext:It's Just Sext was a sensual and erotic short story. I thought that the plot was pretty clever considering I haven't read one like this before: two strangers meeting and starting a relationship via technology only. Thus, the premise was interesting. However, I wasn't as involved in the story because I found the characters to be lacking in depth as well as the storyline. But, since the story was very short this could be an explanation of why.Furthermore, there wasn't much dialogue in It's Just Sext. As a reader, I enjoy dialogue in the stories that I read; I believe that this strengthens a story. Much of this story was reserved on a "telling" basis. As a reader, we're on the outside looking in as Marc and Lauren have a sexy rendezvous in person for the first time at a hotel. Just when we started to see a deeper glimpse of the characters and the introduction of dialogue between Marc and Lauren, the story ends! And it ends VERY abruptly. I honestly clicked on my Kindle to make sure that I wasn't missing some extra pages of the story. Despite the very abrupt ending, this story does promise a HFN (happily-for-now).However, even with the HFN ending, unfortunately the abrupt ending made the story felt incomplete and left me feeling unsatisfied overall. So, while I thought that the writing was pretty good, I felt that the storyline along with the characters could have used more development and the ending could have been wrapped up better with a longer and not so abrupt ending. Thus, my grade of It's Just Sex is a 3 solid stars.*I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
