This was my first foray into this author's work and an incredibly enjoyable one at that. Lucy, feeling lonely, scouts a local pub for Mr. Right Now and finds George, a gentle giant and kind soul drinking alone while his buddies shark about for women. Here's where you expect the cliches to pop up in hastily written erotica. What you get here is the realness of being that permeates these well written characters. You feel for Lucy as her shyness and insecurities almost cripple her attempt to make contact with George. As she revs up her nerve and makes her move she finds that George is just as scared as she is. Relationships aren't easy, and one night stands aren't the mindless sex fests portrayed in most erotica. Hedonist six fills their encounter with a tenderness and vulnerability that adds depth and gravitas to their encounter.As the evening progresses both Lucy and George realize they have a connection that runs deeper than the now and this connection is explored with an adeptness of true understanding of the human condition. At once erotic,at other times romantic, and at all times honest, this short story will make you care for this pair of lonely souls and have you wishing for a follow up to continue their romance. Very well done, indeed.
