Rogue Review No. 521 - June 16, 2000

NOTICE: If you are easily offended, not of the 
required legal age, or material of an erotic nature 
is illegal where you are, then do not read what 
follows.

TITLE: Coincidence
AUTHOR: Delta
LENGTH: 7,800 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (1 Female, 1 Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Lovers
KINK(S): --
SETTING(S): Home
CAUTION(S): --

SUMMARY: Cal runs into an old lover of his, Lisa, on a flight. He 
recognizes her, but she doesn't recognize him. His memories of 
their time together are bittersweet.

COMMENTARY: What did I like about this story? The characters and 
the plot impressed me, as did the author's use of flashbacks. The 
numerous transitions between past and present are fluid. The 
ending isn't exactly what one would expect from an erotic story, 
but it is appropriately bittersweet given the way Cal remembers 
his relationship with Lisa. I probably would not have been as 
impressed with this story as I am if it had ended on a drastically 
different note.

I can't think of anything negative to say about this story, other 
than it probably isn't for everyone. It has sex, but it is really 
about much more than sex. While the sex is arousing, the story 
taken as a whole is much better. If you are looking for stroke 
material then I advise you look elsewhere.
