The Lady And The Lake

by Diane Collier

Tiffany wanted a relaxing weekend at the lake. She wanted to “de-stress” her mind, body and soul. After the morning after she arrived, a lone stranger popped into her life. A blast from the past, come to find out, had graced her cabin and her weekend. Geek-boy turned stud-boy, blew her mind, exhausted her body and gifted her soul. Tiffany’s world, her train of thought, her way of life, had this man in it. With an autumn sunny morning, turning completely into a dark stormy day and night, Tiffany and Colton consumed one another.

Excerpt:
The candle dimly lit the large room. Colton walked backwards towards the bed while pulling Tiffany with him by holding her hands. He sat on the edge of the bed, looking up at her. Her body quivered with excitement and the unknown. There she stood in front of him, in her jeans, and with nothing else but her bra. His manly hands rubbed the small of her soft back. She took her fingers, and glided them around the back of his head. Tiffany seductively, with just two fingers, removed his ball cap from his head. Colton took his hands, placing them onto her hips, and as he stood up, picked her up in the process. He pulled her body tightly against his in a loving bear hug.

I still get a laugh whenever the author uses words like 'schlong' and 'beaver biscuit' (I kid you not) during her sex scenes.

The whole supernatural element is just, weird. It was just thrown in there with no further explanation? Colton's a what now? The eye just going wonky scared me. Thought it would pop out and he'd start devolving right there and then. It would be probably be interesting if he turned out to be a zombie. Then at the end when Colton just appeared in her car after the doctor's visit and told her to go back to the cabin. First, she just found out she's 3 weeks pregnant when she just slept with him in the last 2 days, then he does a ghostly appearance in her car. I'd be freaking out not being happy to get a 'voicemail' from him saying he'd given her a special gift and to take care of them both.

The only explanation I can think of is that Colton was abducted by the aliens, was experimented on thus the wonky eye, and he was let loose on earth again to impregnate human females with 'his microscopic tadpoles'.

Okay this one was...hmm...weird, and ... what was with all the slang terms like love muffin, and schlong...I mean there comes a point when it starts to sound ridiculous using different words to describe genitals every time you say them in the story.

I almost didn't finish this one and that saying something because its a very short story, I guess my biggest issue is I just don't get it. We never find out "what" Colton is (i.e. a ghost, something else preternatural).

The story was ok, if a tad unusual.

I didnt like the author's style of writing/editing with different speakers all being in the same paragraph and how the speaking was like "this", instead of "this," and questions marks in strange places.

This book is so badly written; I could not finish it and would really and truly not recommend anyone reading it. This was 20 mins of my life that I will never get back.

(It was free at the time I downloaded it and I still felt cheated that I wasted my time in attempting to read it).

I have never read a book like this before....strange, weird....slang for sex just does not go. Ending very bizarre.
