JM Madden did a wonderful job with the build up of this story.  Normally in short stories, I find that the background is missing and I get a bit frustrated with the character because I just don't understand them.  Ginger is a strong woman who knows exactly what she wants and has figured out a way to get it, but Madden does a great job of showing us her vulnerabilities in unique ways in her reflection while she is waiting for the date who will never make it. Cameron's baggage shows on his skin every day, the burns from the roadside bomb in Iraq. It was great to watch their two stories unfold and how they were going to connect.That connection is what moves into the heat of this story. The instant connection sharing their stories with each other made the sexual spark very real and believable. The descriptions of their togetherness is outstanding and really heats up.I think for me the story really gelled when both realize that they have been set up by Eve.  There is a new side to the story and while both want to be angry about what happened they really just want to jump back in bed together.[...]
