english review:

As it says in the description of "Waiting at Eros": blush: (love scenes are not graphic) This is a suggestive romance. Okay, the love scenes are indeed not described in a graphic way, because there are absolutely no love scenes in this story! Unfortunately romance and the likes are missing as well. The so called suggestive "Romance" you can not really call romance, because "Waiting at Eros" is no love story, not at all. As most it is a very short shortstory, about four women meeting at Piccadilly Circus and all having one thing in common: They are waiting for: Timor! I will not give away more of the story, because in "Waiting at Eros" actually nothing really happens. Just for the epilogue, which is somewhat surprising, I give a slightly better rating than the story deserves in my opinion. Thank God it was a very short story so at least I have not wasted any more of my time.

german review:

Wie heißt es so schön in der Beschreibung zu "Waiting at Eros": Blush: This is a suggestive romance (love scenes are not graphic). Okay, die Liebesszenen sind wirklich nicht besonders bildlich beschrieben, denn es gibt überhaupt gar keine! Romantik oder ähnliches fehlt leider ebenfalls. Also als "Romance" kann man diese Geschichte wirklich nicht bezeichnen, höchstens als sehr kurze Frauen-Kurzgeschichte. Vier Frauen treffen sich am Piccadilly Circus, alle haben eine Sache gemeinsam: Sie warten auf: Timor! Mehr will ich nicht verraten, da bei "Waiting at Eros" eigentlich nichts passiert. Allein für den Epilog, der einigermaßen überraschend ist gibt es eine etwas bessere Bewertung als die Geschichte meiner Meinung nach verdient. Gott sei Dank war die Geschichte so kurz, da habe ich wenigstens nicht noch mehr meiner Zeit verschwendet.

Janet and three other women meet near the Eros statue in Piccadilly Square for a reunion with Timor of Karatash but he does not show. The women go to a small coffee shop for lunch together and to talk of Timor and how he affected their lives and what they expected from him now in Rosemary Laurey’s WAITING AT EROS. Janet has a secret that she does not reveal as the women offer up their stories.

WAITING AT EROS was a quick read. The plot is simple and straight forward. It would have been fun to have each ladies’ time with Timor but enough is given that I could understand what Timor gave to each one.

This wasn't really as good as the other short stories I've been reading recently. I'm not entirely sure about it - from what I understood there's a guy in Turkey who made a date with at least 4 women to meet 5 years from when they did previously and they all showed up. Each for their own reasons. Theres a surprising twist to one of the characters whose reason for being there isn't revealed until the final pages. It's not a surprising ending I guess, the story has to have a point and the reason she went provides the point of the story

This was a free kindle novelette. For what it was, it was a cute story about a number of women that meet at the statue of Eros five years after having a summer fling with Timo, the nephew of the owner of the hotel the women stayed at during the course of the summer. He told each of them, separately, let's meet at the statue in 5 years and see what's happened and where we are in our lives. Surreptitiously women arrive and act as though they are not waiting to meet with someone. Then they start talking to each other and realize that they are all there for the same reason….

This was an ok freebie. I liked the characters and the story line, although it was more of just a scene with a little extra for afterwards. Interesting and just something to read to pass the time. Not really much to it. Good Luck

Still trying to comprehend how being married to a player constitutes a happily ever after.

[Isis · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good short story, but the twist is kind of predictable and it's clearly not up to par with Rosemary's other works.

[BookAddict ✒ La Crimson Femme · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 star - short and forgettable. I like this author so I'm a bit surprised at the "meh" experience.

Please don't waste your time. The story, basis, and characters are terrible. Though it's only a short story, it should have had some form of back story, otherwise you're lost.

Short and sweet. Makes you wonder. I like the little twist in it.

[Roland Martinez · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is just a short story. It reminds me of Jeffrey Archer's tales. It was a nice little read to go along with my latte.

Meet a guy 5 years later on a certain day? And he has 3 other women meeting him their too, then he forgets? Interesting that one of those women was his wife.
