Rogue Review No. 447 - October 9, 1999
TITLE: Beyond Tease
AUTHOR: Philip
LENGTH: 5,600 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Threesome (2 Females, Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Non-specific
KINK(S): Exhibitionism
SETTING(S): Nightclub
GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: Philip continues to get himself teased mercilessly
by Jessica and Ghita.
COMMENTARY: I like the premise behind this story, but I
don't care for what the author has done with it. Part of
the problem is the fact that the characters aren't all that
interesting. Another part of it is the fact that the plot
is very repetitive. The author has obviously put forth some
effort, but I have to say that there doesn't seem to be a
whole lot to the characters or plot that could not be found
in his previous stories.
If you have not read his previous stories or have not read
them recently then you may enjoy this one. On the other
hand reading his previous stories will help to acquaint you
with the characters. Its funny, but I found this story
rather arousing the first time I read it, but when I tried
re-reading it I wasn't quite as taken by it. I think this
happened because the first time through I didn't know what I
was in for, but after that I did.

SUMMARY: A man and a woman, who have been corresponding via
the internet, finally meet in person for the first time.
She is smitten by him, but is only interested in him if it
is on her terms.
COMMENTARY: Wow! What a read! I can think of a number of
good things to say about this story. One, it is extremely
arousing. No question about it. Some of you may disagree,
if you don't care for a story in which the woman calls the
shots. That seems rather narrow minded to me, but to each
their own. Two, the author does a very nice job building up
the plot. There is sex, but not so much so that it
dominates the story. At the same time the story is
dominated by sexual tension. Did I just contradict myself?
Anyhow, three, I think the author does a superb job tossing
the point of view back and forth between the two characters.
The end result is that the reader feels as if they have
gotten to know both of the characters. I should mention
that "she" seemed a little more complete than "he" did;
possibly because the author gives a little more background
about "her" than she does about "him"; possibly because the
course the story takes seems to be more a fulfillment of
"her" fantasies than it is of "his". Which is not to say
that "he" doesn't enjoy "himself", just that it wasn't as
clear to me that the end result meant as much to "him" as it
did to "her". Well, I guess that about wraps it up. I was
very impressed by this story.
If I wanted to be nitpicky, then I might point out there
isn't much to the plot that does not directly involve their
relationship. In other words it seems to lack a backdrop to
put the story in perspective. Maybe this is asking too much
of erotic fiction? Anyhow, this missing element did not
interfere with my ability to enjoy this story. It is just
something that occurred to me as I was reflecting on the
story in a more analytic fashion.

Rogue Review No. 449 - October 13, 1999
TITLE: The Hots for a Hooker
AUTHOR: J. Boswell
LENGTH: 19,200 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (Female, Male)
Group (1 Female, Many Males)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Prostitute-Customer
KINK(S): --
SETTING(S): Hotel
GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: While on a business trip, Mike get the hots for
Tiffany, a hooker.
COMMENTARY: I'm not too crazy about this story. It is
divided into three parts. I liked the first part more than
the second. I liked the second part more than third. What
I liked about the first part is that it was very arousing
and flowed nicely. I liked the interaction between Mike and
Tiffany. I liked the narration. The situation seemed
realistic, and at the same time fantastic. After the first
part, the characters became less interesting. Their actions
seemed more mechanical. They didn't seem to have life in
them. The sex wasn't as arousing. I didn't find the sex in
the third part arousing at all. The story does have a
logical flow to it, but the author dragged out some parts
that did not need to be dragged out. In a sense the story
became too predictable. I'm not too sure what else to say.
I think what kept me reading, considering the length of this
story, was the hope that it would stop getting worse and
start getting better.

Rogue Review No. 450 - October 17, 1999
TITLE: Revealing Secrets
AUTHOR: Losgud
LENGTH: 7,900 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (Female, Male)
Threesome (2 Females, 1 Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
Homosexual (Female)
RELATIONSHIP(S): In-Laws
Married Couple

KINK(S): --
SETTING(S): Home
GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: Nathan and Ariel, a happily married couple move
back to her hometown. Sylvia, Ariel's sister, soon becomes
a fixture in their lives. Is it because Sylvia enjoys
spending time with her sister or is it because she enjoys
spending time with her brother-in-law? Read the story and
find out.
COMMENTARY: I liked this story a lot. There are a few plot
twists that made it interesting and less predictable. I
enjoyed the narration. Nathan has two qualities that I
liked. One, he has a sense of humor. Two, his reactions to
the curves that are thrown his way seem spontaneous and
unrehearsed. There is one more thing about this story that
impressed me. The author has seen fit to include little
details here and there. These details breathe life into the
characters and the world they live in. This technique, that
the author employs quite skillfully, made the plot and
characters more interesting to me. It also made the story
seem more realistic.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. There is also some pretty hot sex
in this story; which probably has something to do with why I
liked the story so much. In all honesty, though, if not for
the other things I mentioned earlier in this review, I don't
think that the hot sex would have seemed quite as hot.

TITLE: What the Fuss Is
AUTHOR: Kelly Adams
LENGTH: 3,200 words

ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Friends

CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: During the summer after she graduates from high
school, Kelly learns what the fuss is all about; thanks to
Tony, a neighbor who has just graduated from college.
COMMENTARY: This is a fun story, even though there aren't
any twists in the plot. Actually, that is exactly what I
like about it; that it is simple. At the same time it is
arousing and it also seems realistic. I suppose that the
plot is a bit clichéd, but the author has done a very nice
job with it. On top of that, if I were going to pick on
stories for not being completely original, then I would have
to pick on most of the stories that I review. Besides, one
of the things that I enjoy the most is when an author can
push my buttons in certain ways, even when it is rather
obvious in which direction she is taking the story.

SUMMARY: Rob and Ashley are married and have the hots for
one another. The problem is that Rob is married to Lisa,
and Ashley is married to Chad.
COMMENTARY: The author does a nice job building up to the
sex. He doesn't rush the story. He shows how Rob and
Ashley get to the point that they are willing to cheat on
their spouses. That's what I liked about this story.
On the down side, this story has a disjointed feel to it.
It doesn't flow very well. Rob and Ashley both voice doubts
over being unfaithful, but it seemed as though they were
saying these things simply because those are the words that
the author wanted them to say, not because they truly felt
that way. For that matter, I didn't get the feeling that
they cared all that much about their spouses in the first
place. That's what I didn't like.
I think that I would have enjoyed this story much more if I
had actually believed that Ashley and Rob cared for their
spouses' feelings.

TITLE: Swimming Upstream
AUTHOR: MichaelD38
LENGTH: 23,700 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (Female, Male)

CAUTION(S): --
SUMMARY: Some people spend their lives following the trails
that others have established. Others spend their lives
blazing their own trails. Stephen Macintosh falls into the
latter category. This does not mean that everything works
out exactly as he originally wanted it to; his career path
and love life don't bend to his teenage dreams. Still,
Stephen has plenty to be thankful for by the time the story
is through.
COMMENTARY: This is a great story; an excellent story. It
is not, however, a very erotic story. It has its moments,
but for the most part this is just a damn good story; not a
damn good erotic story. Get the picture?
Anyhow, I can't think of anything bad to say about it. I
like how the author lays the plot out. I like how the story
line progresses. I like the characters. I do, however,
think that I maybe somewhat biased towards this story since
I found a number of parallels between Stephen's life and my
own. My life has not been identical to his, but there are
some similarities. Okay, so maybe I don't resemble him all
that much, still, I felt a kinship.
Basically, if you are looking for something arousing, then
you should pass on this story. On the other hand, if you
are looking for an engaging story that will take you more
than ten or twenty minutes to read, then I highly recommend
that you read this one.

SUMMARY: He did not know that he would run into Jenna at the
beach. He did not expect that she would need a ride home,
but after she got into an argument with her boyfriend, he
was more than willing to oblige her.
COMMENTARY: The summary doesn't tell as much as I could, but
that is primarily because I don't want to give too much of
the story away. Which is not to say that the story loses
its appeal once you know how it turns out, because it does
not. I re-read this story, and enjoyed it as much the
second time as I did the first. It is just that I think
that sometimes it is nice to enjoy something for the first
time without being told too much in advance as to what to
expect.
It is a rather short story, but you should have probably
gotten the idea by now that I enjoyed it. In particular I
liked the minor dilemma that the nameless narrator finds
himself in. It stimulated my imagination, among other
things. I also like the way that the author builds up this
story.
I certainly recommend that you read this one. I think that
it should appeal to the overwhelming majority of you.
