review 1: Hm. It was funny at times, certainly well written – except for a few things copy-editing should have caught plus several irregular perspective shifts – and I enjoyed it.I guess I particularly liked Christopher in this, although I suppose I have some sort of nebulous understanding for Peter’s issues as well. That’s perhaps the thing with this author, or at least it is so far. I seem to have difficulties understanding why one of the pairing keeps balking at… whatever. But in this case, compared to the previous story, it at least did not contradict itself. No annoying time skips either, only what made sense.It’s odd. I liked it but now that I’m done it feels oddly distant to me. I believe things only took a bit of a dive towards the end, because until then it wa... mores a sweet relationship development story. Albeit one with the author’s brand of sex, which is… pretty good but also a bit too real in the sense that, again, I sense a dearth of satisfying mush.And that’s all I can say for now. I need to read more by this author. She’s good, but I haven’t decided yet whether I like her quirks or not.
review 2: Funny and thoughtful in turn, I liked this story about a man who has fallen on hard times. Peter is almost too loyal to be true, and the way Chris pulls him from his shell is wonderful. The complications around some of Peter's job background and who Chris really is added some more tension. All in all, this is a fun read, but I think the short story length didn't quite do the potential of this idea justice. less
