* "Until Next Year" by Michael K. Smith (romance)
10, 8, 6
* "Until Next Year" by Michael K. Smith (mksmith@metronet.com). {Story Link: story takes place in front of a crowd of largely confused people; they don't quite know what happened. I feel like a member of that crowd. A man (presumably the author himself) is part of a group saying good-bye to a woman after some unspecified kind of annual gathering in Baltimore. She is only 34 years old, but has suffered a stoke, from which she has made a surprising recovery. She surprises the narrator by giving him an unusually passionate good-bye kiss. That's about it; the rest is left to the imagination. If you're unfamiliar with this author but looking for a hot sex story, you'll want to skip this one. If you know the rest of this author's work, you may want to read this to see what else you can learn about him. Ratings for "Until Next Year" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 8 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 6 |
