"Sunset on Roses" by MichaelD (forbidden love/romance)
Bitbard: 10,10,10
"Sunset on Roses" by MichaelD (michaeld38@aol.com). Guest Review by BitBard (BitBard@newsguy.com). A 32-year-old divorced lawyer, Michael, meets a 17-year-old intern, Tracey. He sucks her young, hot twat she gives him a blow job, and then they fuck -- his hot, throbbing cock buried deeply inside her tight, seventeen year old cunt. That's a typical older man meets jail-bait-teen scenario on ASS isn't it? Well guess what? This isn't a typical story, at least not a typical ASS story anyway. The earlier description was a basic summary of Michael and Tracey's first time in bed, though I seriously changed the tone to take a small jab at the typical fucking the teenybopper story. Before this scenario actually happens the reader is treated to a wonderful character buildup of both Michael and Tracey. In this story they don't meet and fuck, they meet, they get to know each other (as we get to know them), they have problems with the age difference and have to deal with them, then they make love. Then it gets serious. Surprisingly, something that always annoys me so much in adult/teen stories is present in this story, but here it is not at all annoying. Tracey is seventeen. In a typical ASS story her age would be dwelt on over and over and over again usually while they are making love. In Roses, the age is also dwelled on but it's dwelled on as a very real point of conflict and drama. The age difference isn't brought up in the bedroom, it's brought up by nosey co- workers, friends, and Michael and Tracey themselves. This story deals realistically, very realistically with that dilemma. Anyone who has ever fallen in love will immediately connect with this story. The gradual increase in intensity, the feelings that grow so silently that it's a surprise to find them, the intimacy, the play, the humor, the doubts, the uncertainties, the introspection, the need to bring existing friends into their lover's lives -- they are all there. Also there are all the things necessary to make a relationship work, honesty, communication, and sharing common interests and pleasures. This may very well be the most realistic, accurate portrayal of two people falling in love that I've ever read and is all the more remarkable for the age issues which take this into the forbidden love realm. The love-making, when it happens, is all the more special not only because it is as well-written and well described as the rest of this story, but because we know these people so well; because we know they belong together and we can be happy for them, with them when it finally happens. This is the type of story I aspire to write, this is the type of story I long to find and treasure when I do. Obviously, this story carries my highest possible recommendation. Read it, enjoy it, live it, and know for a brief while the thrill and intensity of newfound love. Note the + on the appeal. There are many stories I give an appeal of 10 to -- it simply means I enjoyed the story and I think you might as well. The + is my way of noting a story that I not only enjoyed, but a story that I consider to be among the very best that I have ever read.
