SUMMARY: Sarah's husband and Anne's husband are friends.  On 
the one hand, the ladies don't share that same sort 
affection for one another.  On the other hand, Sarah and 
Anne do find themselves passionately aroused by each other's 
presence.  Notwithstanding this fact, they also enjoy 
fighting each other when ever they can get a private moment 
together.

COMMENTARY: I enjoyed this story quite a bit.  The author 
does a very nice job with the pacing.  He does not rush the 
story, but at the same time he drops plenty of hints as to 
where the story is going.  I wasn't as impressed with the 
characters, see the next paragraph for more details.  The 
story is very well edited.

I do have one complaint.  I had a hard time differentiating 
between Sarah and Anne.  Their only distinguishing 
characteristics are superficial ones, i.e., hair color, 
breast size, etc. Adding to the problem, in my opinion, the 
author chose to switch the point of view back and forth 
between Sarah and Anne without always beginning a new 
paragraph. In retrospect, I believe that I might not have 
gotten as confused as I did, if either (a) the story had 
been told exclusively from one point of view, or (b) the 
author had given each of the women distinct personalities.

One other thing to note, towards the end the story does seem 
to get a bit silly. I loved the -- er -- weapons that the 
main characters/combatants use in the final scene. At the 
same time, I think that this story will probably appeal more 
to those who like stories of this genre, whatever that might 
be. It would not surprise me to learn that it would appeal 
more to men than women, but I could be wrong.

SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: Excellent
