SUMMARY: Rob and Ashley are married and have the hots for 
one another.  The problem is that Rob is married to Lisa, 
and Ashley is married to Chad.

COMMENTARY: The author does a nice job building up to the 
sex.  He doesn't rush the story.  He shows how Rob and 
Ashley get to the point that they are willing to cheat on 
their spouses.  That's what I liked about this story.

On the down side, this story has a disjointed feel to it.  
It doesn't flow very well.  Rob and Ashley both voice doubts 
over being unfaithful, but it seemed as though they were 
saying these things simply because those are the words that 
the author wanted them to say, not because they truly felt 
that way.  For that matter, I didn't get the feeling that 
they cared all that much about their spouses in the first 
place.  That's what I didn't like.

I think that I would have enjoyed this story much more if I 
had actually believed that Ashley and Rob cared for their 
spouses' feelings.
