Virginity

Rules of Engagement #1

by A.V. Roe

Amy and Sara discover they are bi-sexual in high school while growing up in a small town in the rural upper Midwest. They form a life long bond of love while pursuing their dream of finding the perfect man to lose their virginity to, on their own terms. It is a journey of discovery about their own sexuality, erotic desires and sexual fantasies and the possibilities of loving multiple partners.

This erotic polyamorous love story is bound together by an aviation theme, since I believe flying provides many sexual metaphors.

This book is a narrative journey from before encounter, through dating, to consummation. The setting is an unashamedly one-eyed portrayal of the world of small planes and aviation in the mid-west. It is the context for everything. Amy, the protagonist, is amorous with her girlfriend while they are both on the lookout for Mr Right. When Mr Right turns up, progress is inevitable.

I found it took a while for the story to get going for me because the first section is largely third person narrative; catching the reader up with the world. I wanted to hear the voices of the characters, which did pick up after a while, along with the sex.

The plot is straightforward without bumps of turbulence. If you’re looking for angst or suspense, this probably isn’t your book at the moment. If you want a simple story of sexual anticipation and explicit consummation, this is more up your alley.

If you’re mad about small planes and sex, go for it.

I expect this volumn is a setup for the remainder of the series. I expect thing will get hotter.

This was an interesting setup in a beautiful setting, but I feel that the author tried to do too much, and thus diminished the final product. The language was sometimes beautiful, even elegant, and other times it edged into flamboyant - I felt some word choices were over-the-top, and it distracted me from a very nice little story.

The premise of two intimate girlfriends who are looking for Mr Right to introduce them to M/F sex is clever and well done. The idea that these young ladies would have a set of Rules makes perfect sense. The technical details about flying were just right, not distracting at all, even when they compared each other's anatomy to that of sleek aircraft. Young people do that stuff.

But they don't form complex analogies or speak eloquently when in the throws of passion.

I may read the follow-up stories, as there are few menage stories without a defined Alpha, which makes this unique.

Part One of Our Rules of Engagement features an intriguing cast of characters -- Amy (the protagonist), Sara (her lover of convenience) and Charley, the man for whom Amy eventually falls. Part One explores the characters' sexuality with disarming honesty and, truth to tell, some significant heat. Rules of Engagement further distinguishes itself by being very well written. A very enjoyable read and I look forward to the sequel.

I am not one to mince words. I tend to bludgeon them to death instead. With that said, this is a lovely little tail of sluttery of the highest order. Sluttery in this context is a good thing.

I see it as one half journey of discovery, one half letter to penthouse. It's a really steamy and energetic letter to penthouse by the way. I approve.

Give it a try! I'm glad that I did.

The rules of engagement today allow sexy people to explore and invent. Roe is a careful wordsmith, and takes the reader on a ride into the clouds. The book is free of silly errors and poor writing. Good job !
