I have a taste for the different and this story with its 1st person, present tense style and it pairing of a less-than-perfect couple gave it to me. Very quickly I came to appreciate the British English word choice. Every single detail drew me further in. Many a detail was marked with a "yum!" note. I loved the female narrator, although I admit to not remembering quite when her given name was first used, as she approached the "giant" who she'd noticed at the pub. She's been enjoying observing him for awhile until she finally acts. I loved the subtle flirting, the conversation at the bar until they get past the awkwardness and leave for her hotel room.I loved the detail given to describing the sex, especially when the 1st orgasm isn't enough for the narrator. But when I got to the second sex scene, I had to stop and smile. Highlighted, waiting for me to enjoy again- "Love handles. How can something with such an enticing name be considered undesirable?"I absolutely love their conversation in the middle of the night, when she startles awake and can't get back to sleep. The emotion given to the characters is entrancing. When he goes down on her until she' spent is great. Then the wonderful narrative connecting George and Lucy as people brings the story to a wonderful completion.
