"Lisa" by Dirty Dawg (drambo@primenet.com). Jeff has finally come to the realization that he is in love with his best friend. The only problem: she is getting married to somebody else. He has missed his chance: he now realizes Lisa would have been interested in him, but he has acted uninterested too long. and she has fallen in love with someone who loves her in return. What's a guy to do? Well, I guess he could drive the two hours to her house, show up unannounced, send the fiance away, profess his honest feelings to his true love, and then fuck her brains out. This plan is so crazy, it might just work!

The last story I reviewed by this author was "Marjorie," which included lots of action - including a sequence where the hero blew the brains out of the villain who was attacking the heroine. The present story, on the other hand, contains a lot of brooding introspection that could become boring; but it doesn't. There were a few screwed up verb tenses that annoyed me, but I remained interested to the very end. As I said in my last review, this author is long on relationships and romance. The sexual sequences cover about a third as much space as those in the previous story, but the context makes these few words very, very hot.

As a final point in comparing the two stories, I might add that I have to give the author of "Old Friends" credit for taking more chances with the story line. Dirty Dawg uses his same old formula - a formula which he uses very well. Now for something completely different, we'll look at another story - "Terri's Dilemma" - that in many ways represents a combination of the styles of these first two authors.
