Rogue Review No. 419 - July 29, 1999

TITLE: Fun in the Tub
AUTHOR: Mike Hunt
LENGTH: 4,200 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (Female, Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Married Couple
KINK(S): Golden Showers
SETTING(S): Hotel
GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): --

SUMMARY: Mike and June play a game called "slave".  
This somehow leads to them giving each other golden 
showers.

COMMENTARY: This is a nice, playful story.  It is 
almost worth reading just for the author's humorous 
notes before and after the story.  I'm not wild about 
golden showers, but for the most part I enjoyed myself.  
I found the game they played to be more 
arousing than what it led to.

Rogue Review No. 420 - August 4, 1999

TITLE: Love Is All You Need?
AUTHOR: John A
LENGTH: 32,900 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (Female, Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Infidelity
                 Older Male-Younger Female
KINK(S): --
SETTING(S): Hotel
GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): --

SUMMARY: When they first meet, Dan is 38-years-old, happily 
married, and has three children.  Chrissy is eighteen and a 
senior in high school at the time.  Over the next few years 
he risks quite a bit to spend a good deal of time with her.

COMMENTARY: This is not a short story, but it is a very 
nicely constructed one.  The focus is as much on how torn 
Dan is between his affair with Chrissy and his marriage, as 
it is on the sex in his relationship with her.  While the 
story has a somewhat repetitive feel to it, Dan's fear and 
guilt help to keep it fresh.  He never seems to be 
completely at ease with himself.  Chrissy does not get as 
much as attention as Dan does, but the author still does a 
nice job of fleshing her out, to a lesser degree.  She is 
more than just a body.

Some of you may be somewhat turned off by the "older male-
younger female" relationship.  I recommend that you at least 
give this story try.  I think that it is worth it.

OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: 9.0 (out of 10)

Rogue Review No. 421 - August 5, 1999

TITLE: Early In, Early Out
AUTHOR: Titmouse
LENGTH: 3,500 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (Female, Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): --
KINK(S): --
SETTING(S): Office
GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): --

SUMMARY: One good favor deserves another.  The nameless 
narrator of this story offers to reduce the amount of time 
that Susan has to work in his office, if she does him a 
favor in return.  He isn't specific, but Susan comes up with 
a favor that they both are agreeable to.

COMMENTARY: The story is a little short on plot, but the 
author does a nice job setting it up.  The sex is very 
arousing.  This is a quickie, not a full blown story, but 
the author has done a very nice job with it.

Rogue Review No. 422 - August 9, 1999

AUTHOR: Losgud
LENGTH: 7,800 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (Female, Male)

GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): --

SUMMARY: A man is seduced by his daughter, Linda, who has 
just dropped out of college.

COMMENTARY: This was a fun read.  The author does not cut to 
the chase too fast.  The main character not only gets teased 
by his daughter, but he also shows some doubts about 
committing incest.  If you don't care for incest stories or 
older male-younger female stories then you may not like this 
one, otherwise I recommend it.

Rogue Review No. 423 - August 10, 1999

TITLE: The Deep South
AUTHOR: Anthony Matthews
LENGTH: 2,100 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (Female, Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Brother-Sister
KINK(S): --
SETTING(S): Hotel
GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): --

SUMMARY: A young man and his older sister, Regina, kiss and 
makeup.  This occurs after they have fought over whether he 
should get to sleep in the bed with her or have to sleep on 
the floor.

COMMENTARY: The thing I like the most about this story are 
the details.  The author does a very nice job setting it up.  
The sex is nicely handled.  Both characters seem realistic.  
Their relationship comes across as true-to-life.  If I had a 
complaint, it would be that the beginning sets up this 
beautiful background, which is then hardly used at all in 
the story.  It gives the story flavor, but it also raised my 
expectations.

There are a few places where it seems that words are 
missing.  Considering how short this story is, that seemed 
excessive.

Rogue Review No. 424 - August 14, 1999

TITLE: Double Cross
AUTHOR: DG
LENGTH: 29,500 words
MAIN CHARACTER: Male
COMBINATION(S): Twosome (Female, Male)
                Twosome (2 Females)

                Homosexual (Female)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Unmarried Couples
KINK(S): --
SETTING(S): Indoors

GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): Short scene that contains semi-consensual BDSM

SUMMARY: Frank Stern is a private investigator and a voyeur.  
He knew that taking pictures of Claire Ingleford, a well-
known actress, while she was sunbathing topless on a beach 
was risky.  He did not foresee all the trouble it would 
bring him.

COMMENTARY: This is an entertaining read, although if you 
are looking for stroke fiction then I advise you look 
elsewhere.  For the most part I was not aroused by the sex.  
One sex scene, in particular, was more touching to me than 
it was arousing.  Maybe I just need to get my pulse checked.

This is a detective story. It is set in southern California.  
The cast of characters are well drawn.  The story unravels 
at a nice pace.

There are a couple plot lines that seem as though they 
should have been a bit more fully developed, or given a 
little less attention.  The author brings them in, but then 
doesn't seem to do much if anything with them.

Rogue Review No. 425 - August 17, 1999

TITLE: Anything
AUTHOR: a.k.a. nolan

COMBINATION(S): Twosome (Female, Male)
ORIENTATION(S): Heterosexual (Female, Male)
RELATIONSHIP(S): Married Couple
KINK(S): Role Playing

GENRE(S): --
CAUTION(S): --

SUMMARY: Travis and Claire cannot afford to go on another 
vacation.  Claire's desire to do so coupled with her promise 
to do "anything" he wants, sways Travis' assessment of their 
financial situation.

COMMENTARY: This is a wonderful story.  The author paints 
just enough of the picture so that the reader knows what is 
going on, but not so much so that it feels bogged down in 
details.  The sex is extremely hot, although I must admit 
that it is similar to fantasies I have had.  I have no 
complaints.  One thing to keep in mind is that the story is 
told from Travis' point of view, which is to say that Claire 
is not as fleshed out as her husband is.
