SUMMARY: Karen meets Eric, the man of her dreams.  The thing is 
that she is already married, has two children, one of whom is 
engaged to Eric.  He, on the one hand, has no trouble 
overlooking the obstacles that their forbidden love 
encounters.  She, on the other, goes through quite a bit of 
internal turmoil.

COMMENTARY: Great Story.  Really.  Normally I am not big on a 
lot of narration; I prefer more dialogue than you'll find in 
this story.  In this case I am willing to make an exception.  
The author has done an excellent job with the narration, using 
it to show how torn Karen is between her role as a mother and 
wife, and her desire for Eric.

Another thing that this story has going for it, in my book, is 
that while the story is overflowing with sexual tension, it is 
not overflowing with sex.  The author has picked and chosen the 
right moments for Karen to abandon herself to her carnal 
desires.  After all, the story is really about what leads Karen 
to give in to Eric and not the sex she has with him.  The 
latter is just the icing on the cake, while the former is not 
only the cake but also the rest of the meal.
