SUMMARY: Greg is mowing his lawn one day when a beautiful 
woman shows up and asks if she can spend the night.  She 
seems to know quite a bit about him and he is suspicious.

COMMENTARY: This is an intriguing story.  It isn't 
completely straight forward.  Trying to figure out what it 
was all about gave me an additional reason for not wanting 
to put it down.  In fact I would go so far as to say that 
this story was a little more interesting than it was 
arousing.  It was arousing, just not as arousing it was 
interesting.  Now that I am done chasing my tail, why don't 
I get back to the review.

The author is British and uses a few expressions which 
baffled me, at first.  I do not perceive this as a flaw, but 
something that other non-British readers might want to keep 
mind.

If you are looking for stroke material, then I would 
recommend looking elsewhere, which is not to that this story 
isn't arousing; it is.  I do recommend it if you are looking 
for something that might actually make you stop and reflect 
on what you just read.  Of course, I suppose, some of you 
may enjoy reflecting on stroke material as well.  Either 
way, I recommend this story, which in my opinion is much 
more than just stroke material.

        - Arousal: 4/5
        - Editing: 5/5
        - Plot and Characters: 5/5
