SUMMARY: Jessie and her husband, Tim, develop this game where she
has to "earn" her money.  Its all just a game until Tim is gone 
for a few weeks on a business trip and...

COMMENTARY: The author does a good job of putting the reader 
inside Jessie's head.  She experiences a wide range of emotions. 
Often it was hard to tell what the she was going to do from one 
scene to the next, even though she is the one narrating the 
story.  This made the story both exciting and arousing.  On the 
whole the story is extremely arousing.

This is a well written story.  The plot is well paced and flows 
nicely.  The characters are well drawn, although Jessie is the 
only character that gets the full treatment.  The story, taken in
its entirety, seems to be about more than just sex.  It is also 
about how a role-playing game can affect one's sense of reality 
and possibly alter one's life.  The only problem with the story, 
that I could find, is in the transition from the first to the 
second half.  I'm not sure exactly what happened.  I think that 
possibly something got left in that should have been cut out.

I enjoyed this story tremendously.  It is both well written and 
extremely arousing.  The author's skill in handling Jessie's 
character through her various experiences is what made this story
a joy to read.  I don't think there is anything too kinky or 
extreme in here, and I recommend it to all.   I have given it an 
Excellent.

         - Arousal: 5/5
         - Editing: 4/5
