I'm a person of many interests. I'm a weekend explorer. I love to poke around in caves and look for artifacts. I'm a frequent visitor to the track--horse racing, when in season. I'm a small bucks investor, dabbling in real estate. I savor fine wine, love to relax in front of the fireplace and I'm still in love with my mate--perhaps my greatest accomplishment.

And erotica...ah...erotica. Is there any other form of writing that allows one to fully express one's true emotions? Not as far as I know. I've read erotica since high school, when it was taboo to speak of Henry Miller. And I'm most free when I sit down at my computer and pen a short erotic story. Erotica makes my juices flow--and I hope some of my stories prime your pump as well.

This is a nice story about a reunion of two men who were caught in a "compromising" position ten years earlier.

Mike ran away because he couldn't deal with his father's accusations. When he returns ten years later for work, he not only finds Donis still waiting for him but without recriminations. They pick up where they left off and Mike's father apologizes for his earlier behavior, removing the last obstacle (in Mike's mind).

While I found the situation and people's reactions to be somewhat unlikely, Mike's and Donis's relief at finding each other again and their joy about starting a relationship came through and was enjoyable.

This author's voice is just not for me. Prose is pedantic, and pacing is sluggish at best. I also have a personal peccadillo with characters who talk out loud to themselves for no apparent reason, so when it happened again and again in the infodump first few chapters, I became impatient. I kept waiting for the story to improve, and while the guys were pleasant enough, I just could never engage with the author's voice.
