SUMMARY: Jenn accepts an offer from a married couple, Fred 
and Jeannie.  An offer to give her a massage, that is, with 
no strings attached.  But what if she wants more than just a 
massage?

COMMENTARY: What I like about this story is how the author 
builds it up.  She does a great job making it arousing, long 
before the sex begins.  The focus of the story seems to be 
Jenn's experience.

I had a hard time following some of the descriptions of the 
menage-a-trois.  The mental images that I conjured were not 
always consistent with normal humans having sex.  Maybe 
Jenn, Jeannie, and Fred are contortionists?  Maybe my brain 
just wasn't functioning correctly when I read this story?  
Either way, it did not detract form my ability to enjoy the 
story, but taken from an objective point of view, it is a 
flaw.

If you are looking for a story with a deep plot, then you 
might want to skip this one.  The author does a beautiful 
job with narration, but the overwhelming focus is on Jenn's 
emotional state and not the progression of a series of 
events.  That sounds overly clinical to me, so let me end 
this review by saying that I really did enjoy this story.

OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: 9.0 (out of 10)

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

SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: Excellent
