The first thing that came to mind on finishing the story was, "well that was different". Is that good or bad, a bit of both really. I struggled with some but enjoyed much more!
This part of the synopsis:
Darrell's relationship with his girlfriend, Linda, begins to show the strain of a life led without true feeling. But Darrell does not even begin considering that change is possible, until a number of chance events begin to lead him out of his comfort zone, and into a passionate, sensual adventure of escape, exploration, and finally...discovery
pretty much sums up the story.
This story had plenty of heat, and it was great to see one of the humanoids deflower a male virgin ;)
There were a few things that I found myself going, 'as if that would happen', however once I reminded myself this story was one of fantasy I was able to lose myself in it and ended up rather liking it.
