Review: A Short, Well Constructed, Hot Read

The product page says 23 pages.  So going in I knew it was a short story and therefore didn't need to  invest too much into the characters.  The description says she walks in on him pleasuring himself, so I was hoping that would lead somewhere and it did.Looking through the 1-3 star reviews, I feel many of them missed the point of short erotica. At least for me, erotic shorts should be a snapshot, a peak into a very intimate moment between a couple.For some there wasn't enough back story, but in my opinion the author gave enough for me to know that Blake was a soldier who had been burnt while in service and is now a writer.  Erin was a college student trying to earn money by working as a maid.  She had worked for Blake long enough for them to become friendly enough to hold long discussions and debates.Blake was probably in his 40s and had developed deep feelings for Erin and he felt due to his age and physical condition that he was not worthy of her beauty and youth.  I felt for a 23 page short that is a lot of information.Other arguments against the story include "too short", "just sex", and "not my cup of tea".  For me it was just the right length for a short story, as erotica it was hot sex with just enough back story to become involved with characters without being too much to take away from the zing.  Finally I do enjoy erotica so this cup of tea hit the spot.
