Ellora's Cave Moderne

review 1: Melanie Ward is alone, unattached and a music teacher. One of her colleagues, Tony Peterson (the coach and physical education teacher) has been asking her out for months. She refuses to even consider his entreaties until other colleagues point out that she should at least try it; maybe she might like it. Against her better judgment in she agrees. He invites her over to her house for supper. Upon her arrival she is surprised that his house isn’t anything like she imagined it would be. No man cave but a comfortable, clean and tidy house. Needless to say they never get around to eating his supper. The sight of Coach Peterson outside of his workplace strangely sparks a flame that can’t be easily extinguished. I found their football analogy while having sex is quite amusing... more. The amount of talking they did while caught up in a sexual passion is a little hard to swallow but the sexual fantasies all these female writers display is shocking. Once again this 2009 novella in the Naughty Nooners series works wonders for your appetite. It is an amusing story but won’t win any literary prizes. What you see is what you get…not really a book for everyone.
review 2: Mari Carr has penned a really great tale here with Scoring. The characters are all teachers in a high school, and this idea is a first for me. I loved the way Ms. Carr showed teachers are people as well as, well, teachers! The dialog between them all in the first chapter is very good—it’s as though a real conversation is taking place and I was sitting at the table with them. Excellent! Actually, I’m going to give a WOOT! and a high-five here.As the conversation moves on, Melanie finds herself looking forward to something she’s wanted for a long time—a date with the football coach Tony. All this time she thought his fun flirting was just that, and even though a date has been set she still has low expectations. But, when she arrives at his place, it becomes clear that her feelings for him are reciprocated, and that brought a big smile to this reader’s face.I adored this short story. Adored it, you hear me? less
