  COMMENTARY

I found this story to be a little arousing.  By that I mean that 
there are scenes in this story that are arousing, but there were only
a limited number of them.  By no means did these scenes dominate the 
story.  From reading this story, my impression is that the author did
not intend for the nonconsensual parts to be arousing.

This is a very well written story.  It has a nice flow and the 
characters seem realistic.  Despite the fact that Andre has just gone
through a rather traumatic experience, the tone that the author sets 
seems a bit subdued.

So, summing up, I liked this story, it is well written, but not what 
I consider to be A-list material.  If you are a fan of BDSM stories 
then you may enjoy this more than I did.  One thing to keep in mind, 
despite the fact that the story revolves around sex, the story is 
about much more than just sex.

Warning: If you do not care for B&D or S&M then this may not be the 
story for you.  The author has labeled it as a romance and I think 
that is a fair description.  On the other hand, the story does have 
some elements, aside from the rape, that some of you may consider to 
be rather extreme.
