SUMMARY: David, 36, falls for Mary, 34 or so.  Mary just 
wants to be friends.  Skylar, Mary's 18-year-old daughter, 
doesn't want David around and takes an unusual approach to 
get rid of him.

COMMENTARY: This story is extremely arousing.  The internal 
turmoil David experiences while trying to pick and choose 
between doing the right thing and satisfying his libido, 
certainly contributed to the level of arousal that I 
experienced.

One area in which the story comes up a bit short, is the 
resolution.  It is not outside of the realm of possibilities 
that the story could end in the manner in which it does, but 
it seems more probable than it should end differently.  At 
the very least the ending should have been drawn out a 
little more, in my opinion.  It all just came to a close too 
quickly to satisfy me.

This story will probably appeal more to male readers than to 
female ones.  It certainly reads more like a male fantasy 
than a female one.  Having said that, I think that it is 
accurate to say that the author does a better than average 
job with both female characters.

OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: 9.5 (out of 10)

        - Arousal: 5/5
        - Editing: 5/5
        - Plot and Characters: 4/5

SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: Excellent
