*"Scarlett's Cove" by Ann Douglas (AnnD55@NYC.Pipeline.Com). This story
centers around the visit of two friends to a Caribbean Club Med type
resort that caters to lesbians and bisexuals. Although both women are
lesbians, they are not habitual lovers - just friends. After some
preliminary fun, Jeanette finds that Arlene has entered her into a sort
of charity bachelor auction - the other women will bid to have Jeanette
for their date for the evening. I think I have told you enough about
the story. It's a hot plot with hot sex. I might add that Jeanette is
a high school teacher and many of us often wish we could touch our
favorite students the way she does - but somebody might take that
comment the wrong way.

Ann writes many different kinds of stories, and I enjoy them all; but
this story is a good example of what Ann does best: an interesting and
sexy plot woven into an exotic environment embellished with accurate
information about varied cultures. In addition, the author enriches
the narrative with sexy flashbacks and side plots that heighten the
tension and allure of the main storyline.

As I have said many times before, although I suspect that all sensible
women would enjoy sexual activities like those described in this story,
I myself have never engaged in full genital lesbian or bisexual
activity. However, after reading this story, my defenses have begun to
crumble. If by some chance I would ever be bereaved of this wonderful
guy that humps me on demand like Mark Aster's studly hero and then
found myself on an exotic Caribbean island with a beautiful, rich
former student who was professing her love for me after purchasing me
for an exorbitant price in a charity auction - well, I might give it a
thought. Hell, I think I'll give it a thought right now!

I'm reminded of the words of my daughter, who every year proclaims that
"this is my best birthday ever." This is the best story ever by Ann
Douglas.
