First Song to Ease You In, The Second to Make You Mine (mc mf md) (new) by asianpersuasion
–2/5 (so-so, maybe a good story to others but didn’t mesmerize me)–
Written well enough, but felt a bit generic. Not particularly new or out of the ordinary. Another issue is how almost half the story is background and set up. I just didn’t find it that interesting, if only because I wasn’t given much reason to. While it could’ve been interspersed within the story, a lot of it was a bit superfluous. Uninspired, for lack of better words.

Spillover (mc mf md) (new) by Pan
–3/5 (decent, not perfect)–
Interestingly done, while perhaps a touch bland in the way it was presented. As always, humor in erotica goes right through me. There must be some kind of irony not getting the humor in a peice with a psychiatrist! Anyway, that underlying silliness kept the story moving well enough. No serious heat for me, but a fine page turner, albeit a bit of a WTF by the end I was reminded of the Lathe of Heaven, and that wasn’t a bad thing.

Lucky in Love (mc mf md hu) (new) by J. Darksong
~~3/5 (decent, not perfect)~~
Flowed quite well, even though I wasn’t particularly pulled in. As a superfluous side note, though definitely attractive, the woman described is not my type Anyway, not bad overall.

Those female Olympians must have been more attractive than ever. I’m still distracted!
