"Blindside" by BitBard (bitbard@newsguy.com).

I appreciate it when author's revise their stories. This author even gives us
the dates when he created and revised this story - indicating that he revised
it six days before he created it! That's hard; but then "hard" is good in a
sex story. Actually, if the most serious criticism I have of a story is the
typographical error in the revision line, then this must be a very good story
indeed.

And it is. Somehow this author's Steve Whiley detective stories haven't
received the acclaim they deserve.

In this story Steve Whiley is bent on solving the case of the purloined pussy,
so to speak. First Steve gets picked up for an extended one-nighter by a
beautiful woman named Kate, whom he quickly finds to be the best lay he has
ever had. Meanwhile, "the pygmy bandit" has stolen the Vandleberg diamond from
Danzil's Auction House in spite of its expensive security system. Steve has
been hired as a consultant to protect the next diamond scheduled for display
in the city. Next we discover that Kate was raped as a young girl; and as
amateur psychiatrists we begin to suspect that perhaps she is depraved because
she was deprived. More precisely, she likes to be in control now in reaction
to the loss of control then. How all this turns into a really interesting sex
story is something you'll have to discover for yourself.

So what we have hear is a mixture of romance and criminal intrigue. The
dialog is hot and the sex is good, and there's a nice twist at the end. What
more could you want?
