Review: The three B's sum this up: blaise, bland and boring.

Sorry, but my title spells out my overall impression of this short story.  The book is too abbreviated for any real character building, so you end up with rather flat, one dimensional characters.  The romance is implied, and as soon as the woman changes one parameter, her new lover immediately and possessively gets angry and assumes she is seeing someone else.  That's not a trait that most women find appealing in a potential mate, and those who display it usually get worse rather than better about their jealousy issues over time.  The initial sexual encounter was about as sensuous, or "hot", as watching grass grow.  Yeah, I understand they were both looking for a randy encounter...sort of a "scratch my itch" kind of thing; but I don't find a kiss, a grope, a condom and a demand to "turn around and bend over" to be a scene that really stokes my fire in the least. I didn't think this was a "bottom of the barrel" effort, but it isn't going to win any awards either, so I give it three stars.
