Reviews

[Ann · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm a fan of this author and really enjoyed Cultivating Love. This one was just too short to get into unfortunately and way to many things left unsaid and unexplained. The pretty creepy meet up in the park - it's nice it had a happy ending and all, but the premise of it was unbelievably fast so I wasn't really buying into a connection between them.

They were planning on going go karting though and go karting's fun, so hopefully the first date went well, we'll just never know.

[Anne Bollmann (Annelise Lestrange) · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was very cute, but way too short. Both characteres had lots of things to explore, not to mention the twin thing...

It was really well-written and I'm look for more works from this author :3

PS: Henry is such a cuttie thing *¬*

This story was a bit bizarre. It didn't really have a workable plot. The ending had me going "uh?"

[jules0623 · Rating 4 out of 5]

The parent of a teenager in me was screaming for our MC to run from the stranger that propositioned him in the park at night. The lover of male/male smut in me was cheering.

This is pretty much as I've already described: a hook up in the park after a party. It's hot and fast and great for a five minute porny pick-me-up. :)

[tacitus · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was quite well written, despite being so short, but the ending basically ruined all the good that had come before it. The last few paragraphs are just bizarre and make no sense at the END of a story. If anything, they feel like the beginning of a whole different kind of story (and one that doesn't appeal to me at all. You'll know what I mean when you get there).

[Mandy*reads obsessively* · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very short story about a hook up that might develop into more.

[Aidee Ladnier · Rating 3 out of 5]

Extremely short hot encounter in the park at midnight.
