SUMMARY: Melissa and Chris have been friends all their
lives, but never lovers. Something happens to change that
at the same time that her brother is getting married.
COMMENTARY: This is a very well written story. It is nicely
plotted and nicely paced. There is much more to it than
just sex. If you are looking for stroke fiction, then I
recommend you look elsewhere.

Rogue Review No. 427 - August 21, 1999

ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)

SUMMARY: David, 36, falls for Mary, 34 or so. Mary just
wants to be friends. Skylar, Mary's 18-year-old daughter,
doesn't want David around and takes an unusual approach to
get rid of him.
COMMENTARY: This story is extremely arousing. The internal
turmoil David experiences while trying to pick and choose
between doing the right thing and satisfying his libido,
certainly contributed to the level of arousal that I
experienced.
One area in which the story comes up a bit short, is the
resolution. It is not outside of the realm of possibilities
that the story could end in the manner in which it does, but
it seems more probable than it should end differently. At
the very least the ending should have been drawn out a
little more, in my opinion. It all just came to a close too
quickly to satisfy me.
This story will probably appeal more to male readers than to
female ones. It certainly reads more like a male fantasy
than a female one. Having said that, I think that it is
accurate to say that the author does a better than average
job with both female characters.

Rogue Review No. 428 - August 23, 1999
TITLE: The Choice
AUTHOR: Sandman (aka Bitbard)
LENGTH: 14,100 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Many
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
Homosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Unmarried Friends
KINK(S): --
SETTING(S): Home
GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: Dan is convinced that Sandra is the woman for him.
Sandra is willing to accept a romantic relationship with Dan
only if he is willing to accept that she is bisexual and in
a relationship with an unmarried couple (Sara and Jeff), and
is open to the idea of sleeping with all three of them.
COMMENTARY: This was an interesting read for me, primarily
because I don't read many stories that involve male
bisexuality.
I like the premise behind the story. The main character is
faced with a dilemma: adopt a bisexual lifestyle (within the
confines of a foursome) or lose the woman he wants to spend
the rest of his life with. Dan is a man who considers
himself heterosexual, not bisexual or homosexual. This
isn't an easy decision for him to make. He doesn't have a
moral problem with being part of a bisexual foursome. He
enjoys Jeff's company, but he just isn't sure if he can
enjoy sex with Jeff or whether sleeping with Jeff too steep
a price to pay in order to be with Sandra.
The author does a credible job with the story, spending
relatively equal amounts of time on hot sex, plot
development and character development. There are two things
that I found disappointing. One, there are a number of
spelling errors. Two, the male-male sex seemed much more
mechanical than the male-female sex. Admittedly, Dan is a
bit reluctant, but still it would have been nice if the
descriptions of sex between Dan and Jeff had been a bit more
lush.
If you don't care for stories involving male bisexuality,
then you may not care for this one.

Rogue Review No. 429 - August 24, 1999
TITLE: My Aunt Mattie
AUTHOR: Dude
LENGTH: 6,600 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Solo (Female, Male)
Twosome (Female, Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Aunt-Nephew
KINK(S): Voyeurism
SETTING(S): Home
GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: Aunt Mattie comes to live with Danny and his
parents. In the cramped apartment that they live in, he has
to share his bed with her.
COMMENTARY: This story has a very specific feel to it. It
doesn't feel generic, but very real. Danny's descriptions
of how he sees things and of how he feels seem appropriate
for a 15-year-old boy. Some of the terms he uses are not
ones that I would use, but the general tone that the story
is told in, is one that is very familiar to me.
This story is about desire. Some fantasies are realized by
Danny, but the bulk of the story is about longing and pining
for Aunt Mattie; someone that is legally off limits to him.
I found the ending to be a bit anticlimactic, and not quite
as satisfying as the rest of the story. I think that I was
expecting something a little less restrained at the end.

Rogue Review No. 430 - August 27, 1999
TITLE: Potential
AUTHOR: Three
LENGTH: 9,700 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Female
COMBINATION(S): Solo (Female, Male)
Twosome (Female, Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Strangers
KINK(S): Exhibitionism
SETTING(S): Car
GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: Susie is working in the local library, the summer
before her senior year of high school. One day she
accidentally exposes herself to Chad, a guy whom she has the
hots for. She manages to get over her initial shame. When
the opportunity presents itself she gets to know him a
little better. In time, her accidental exhibitionism leads
to intentional exhibitionism, by both of them.
COMMENTARY: I am a sucker for well written dialogue. I can
appreciate well written narration, but almost always prefer
dialogue over narration. The author of this story does a
nice job with both. Susie isn't omniscient. Chad is able
to hold up his end of an intelligent conversation. Even
without exposing their bodies, Susie and Chad manage to heat
this story up very quickly.

SUMMARY: A woman and man explore their relationship by
playing a dominance and submission game, in which he submits
to her whims.
COMMENTARY: The author does a nice job setting the scene and
a wonderful job following through. The story isn't
overloaded with details. The ones that are included, are
more than enough to fire the imagination of the reader, so
that she or he may fill in the details. It would have been
nice if there was a bit more to the story. By that I mean a
little more detail on the characters or a little more to the
plot. The amount of sex is well suited to a story of this
length.

Rogue Review No. 432 - August 29, 1999
TITLE: Bruce
AUTHOR: Losgud
LENGTH: 12,600 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (Female, Male)
Threesome (1 Female, 2 Males)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Brother-Sister
Married Couple
KINK(S): Exhibitionism
SETTING(S): Home

GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: Bruce stays with Janice and Harold, his sister and
her husband, while he is away from home on business. One
thing leads to another...
COMMENTARY: This is a very well written and extremely
arousing story. The author does a nice job of not cutting
to the chase too fast. The tension builds over a series of
close encounters between Bruce and Janice, until eventually
something does happen. Another thing that I like about this
story is the dialogue. It reveals things both explicitly
and implicitly. I also enjoyed the narrator's sarcastic
tone.
Of course, if you don't care for stories of incest then this
may not be for you. In my opinion, you won't find too many
incest stories that are written much better than this one.
