Review: sex with feeling and thought and a bit of humor, too

This is erotica delivered with a gentle and adept hand, written simply and easily yet deeply. I usually prefer my erotica harder and grittier, and while this story has the graphic detail, its punch comes from more than just sex. It comes from a real sense of feeling and emotion.Yes, there is the sex. And there are the touches of female domination, spanking, and even the briefest glimpses of pain and humiliation, and the titillation that comes with all those things, but more than that, there is a story here told by a character who charmed me with his inadequacies and fears. This story is told strictly from Wyle's POV, and this male voice gave the story something I wasn't expecting- an easy charm and wit.The writing in this story is done in such a way as to be both explicit and smooth, hard and soft, arousing and even endearing, and that's a compliment to the author. She managed to give me many different contrasts here, all bound seamlessly and elegantly together. At around 675 locations long, this is maybe an hour-long read, and it stands out among the other erotic fiction out there for free. This novella goes beyond basic erotica and into something different, just much more than you expect it to be. Smart, well-written erotica with a subtle humor to it.
