[L-D · Rating 2 out of 5]

A very short story about two strangers confronting each other in a hotel. I'm honestly not clear on why Jack came to Tony's room. Tony was banging on the tub drain with a spoon and making a racket, sure, but no one ever goes to a stranger's hotel room to confront them, usually they just call hotel management to report a disturbance. Jack also showed up to the room all belligerent and aggressive with his big meaty arms and intimidating demeanor. I was wondering why Tony even opened the door for him - at that point, I definitely would've called hotel management! Um, front desk? There's like a humungous, super scary dude outside my room and he looks pissed.

Then Tony lets Jack in and half a heartbeat later, it's all Let's get it oooooon and bow-chicka-bow-wow. It was just a bit erratic for me. The whole scene made me feel like it was one of those stories where the next thing you know, you realize that they are partners and are doing role-play or something, because the whole set up didn't make much sense to me.

I thought the writing style was fine, just the overall story line and scene setting, was a bit overly contrived.

This is very short erotic story involving 2 guys. Tony is having problems with his hotel tub, Jack hears Tony banging around and comes over to offer his help, Jack fixes the tub issue, the attraction sets in and then the sex begins.

It's hot and it's sexy, what more can you expect out of a story like this? I enjoyed it and would read another one by the author if given the chance.

3.25 STARS---short, hot read of two strangers who meet in a hotel over a non-draining bathtub and one of them realizes that he may have a bit more in common with his hotel hook-up than he previously realized. . .

Note: This is a stranger sex type story which might have gone into a relationship but it is not clear in the story. Jade is a good author but this is not one of her best. I did like it though.

ホテルのバスルームを使った後、Tonyはバスタブの栓が抜けないことに気付く。部屋にある道具で栓を取り外せないかと悪戦苦闘していると、誰かが部屋のドアを叩いた。ホテルの従業員だろうか？　それとも…

短編。お約束なネタで、予想通りなエンディングで楽しめた。Jade Buchananがどんな作風か知りたくて読んだ。読みやすい文体で、舞台がカナダらしい。機会があったら読みたいな。

Short hot little piece of erotica with some strangers in a hotel room.

[Luta Wolf · Rating 5 out of 5]

For a really short read this completely complemented my tastes. It's seventeen pages of laughter, naughtiness and just plain fun.
