Coming Out of Her Shell by Gillian ColbertI was so looking forward to finding out what happened to this story.  I read the first two chapters at the end of Forbidden Fruit and it left me hanging. I thought that was the end...NOT!  What a teaser...that's okay because I immediately went out and purchased the complete though too short story.  It was worth all 7 chapters.Susan is a professional woman who works too much.  She doesn't have many outside interests and her love life is non existent. .  Susan's been told she was a `cold fish' and didn't know how to have fun.  She WANTS to change and maybe find a hobby or some other interest besides work so takes time off every Thursday afternoon.It all starts when a new neighbor Eric is introduced at a block party.  Eric is F.I.N.E...Fine and Susan is already imagining all sorts of naughty things about Eric.  Her first afternoon off started simple enough with a little sunbathing by her pool.  A bit of fantasy and a little `O' later and she realizes that she had a watcher.  Oh how Eric watched!!!Eric..."was not a man who generally went without sex. That's not to say he was a man-slut, he was definitely picky, but Susan's little show crept into his head..."  Eric liked to dominate and he wanted Susan to submit.  No more teasing.  It was time to put up or out in this case.  LOL!What a wonderful story.  I'm waiting for Ms. Colbert to write a full length novel with the wit and creativity that she exhibited in this story.A point to ponder about physical books and e-readers... "He was obviously an avid reader. Susan wondered what types of books he read, but she figured that would have to wait. His note hadn't said to wonder around his house and try to get a read on his psyche from his book titles."  I agree that you can tell a bit about a person by what they read and I do so love a full bookshelf.  You can brows through a persons library and it not be considered impolite.  But what can you tell about a person and their reading material if all they have is an e-reader....HMMMM.
