"You Took Me" by Brother Cadfael (romance) 10, 8, 9
"You Took Me" by Brother Cadfael (Brother_Cadfael@earthcorp.com). Guest reviewed by Poison Ivan (poisoniv1@hotmail.com). Brother Cadfael's "You Took Me" is one of those first/second person stories, with a male "I" and a female "you." I have a small problem with this type of story, and I can only make them work for me if I imagine they are love letters. This is not especially fair to the author, who is not writing a love letter, but what can I do? As a love letter, "You Took Me" is very short and very sweet. The sex is not too explicit, and there isn't much story to speak of. But there is some nice kissing and body contact. And there is a dreamy, romantic tone that is not at all unpleasant. A nice story to read if you need a quick pick-me-up. Ratings for "You Took Me" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 8 Ivan (appeal to reviewer): 9 |
