Tainted Lime Reviews Issue #7

January 16, 2002

Now that I've done a few reviews, I have the star rating system

set a little more clearly in my head. I rate stories from one

to five stars. Because most stories I read are pretty good, the

rating system is skewed to help differentiate between good

stories. In my opinion, anything rated three stars or above is

worth reading. I hope to reserve the five star rating for a

few exceptional stories. A two-star story may still have niche

or novelty appeal, but it isn't the kind of story I come to

ASSM to read. A one-star story is dreck with little redeeming

value.

{ASSM} For Pebble, my British Friend, Adventures on I 70 (m/m)

By bill johnson <billyboiiiiiii@yahoo.com>

http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34679

Although this story is coded m/m, the participants are both

consenting adults.

In this story, a man who is in a bad marriage has a job

delivering important papers by car between Baltimore and Peoria.

After a particularly bad time with his wife, as he passes through

Columbus, he picks up a male hitchhiker. This other man has also

had a bad experience with his wife, and these two bitter men
begin to bond. The bond tightens after they stop at a hotel for

the night, and the bond becomes airtight as the story reaches its

climax.

The story itself is a good one. A relationship based on anger towards

women put me off a little, but it's a believable scenario. And the

story even wraps up believably, with an underlying feeling of

loneliness. I genuinely felt sorry for these two men by the time the

story was over.

There were some weird writing problems, like a repeated paragraph

and a couple nonsensical sentences, but the writing is usually

pretty good. The seduction and sex is arousing, and the author

paints a clear picture of the main character. If you like bisexual

men enjoying each other's company, you'll like this one.

{ASSM} The Stake. (bondage)

By Leviticus <leviticusthebard@cableone.net>

http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34690

This is an interesting little piece about a man who has tied up a

woman and left her to think about her situation. She is hugely

aroused by being bound, but the only way she can relieve the

arousal is to strain as far as she can against her bonds and rub

her pussy against a stake.

This is a very short story that should have been even shorter.

The build up where we don't see the woman goes on too long, and

then when we do finally see her, the narrator spends too much

time patting himself on the back for how clever he's been to set

her up in this situation.

As it is, this story has some novelty appeal, but there isn't

much of a story and the scene isn't vivid enough to rate a higher

score.

{ASSM} "Fresh" by Kelly Adams (FF rom) NEW

By Kelly Adams <kelly_h_adams@hotmail.com>

http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34691

Gretchen arrives home late from work, but she makes up for her

tardiness with a little surprise she picked up from the grocery

store. All through dinner she refuses to tell the narrator what

she has. After dinner, Gretchen sends the narrator upstairs to

shower and get ready for the grand unveiling. After a sexy

shower, she comes back downstairs, and she gets to taste some

fruit that you don't ordinarily see at this time of year.

I noticed one grammar mistakes (a lay that should have been a

lie), and very few slightly awkward sentences, but the writing

is very clean and smooth.

I wouldn't call this a story, though. While the contents of

Gretchen's shopping bag become part of the action, it is

tangential. The sex is nice and pleasant, but the best part is in

the narrator's anticipation. But even the anticipation came up

short for me. During dinner, when the tease should have been

building, the story went by too fast.

But I think many readers will enjoy this one. With little plot to

distract from the tease and the sex, you can concentrate on just

the tease and the sex.

{ASSM} cuyahoga.002 [urfe] [new] (as falls cuyahoga, so falls cuyahoa falls)

By Nicholas Urfe <nickurfe@yahoo.com>

http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34713

This story takes up just a little after the first Cuyahoga Falls

story finishes with Vanessa screaming down the loop in her little

red Miata convertible. She's talking to her girlfriend Richie on

the cell phone, explaining just what she'd done with the brothers

Lappalainen and promising what she's going to do when she and

Richie get together.

But the plans run amok when an unmarked cop car catches her

driving above the posted legal speed limit.

Apparently the cop doesn't care much for rich bitches driving

little red Miatas, and she introduces Vanessa to her "swagger

stick." And Vanessa and the swagger stick become real good

friends.

The aggressiveness of the policewoman character came a bit out of

the blue for me, and if I read "swagger stick" one more time, I

was going to scream. The distinctive style used in the Cuyahoga

tales glitched once or twice, and I even noticed one

misspellchecked word.

So this story isn't perfect. But an imperfect story by Nicholas

Urfe is still a damn good story. He has again turned out a

stylish, sexy piece that I'm sure everyone will enjoy.

{ASSM} Recollection (MF MFF Rom) by Christopher Andrew

By Christopher Andrew <christopherandrew@hotmail.com>

http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34727

A woman wakes up with her lover, and while they reminisce about a

threesome they took part in, they have a nice, loving screw.

It's kind of cool the way the author weaves two sex scenes

together in one story, but this story has a lot of problems. It

starts out with a major mistake: the story shifts from past to

present tense in the second paragraph. Couple that with numerous

small grammar mistakes, and the story isn't the easiest one to

read.

But the biggest problem with this story is the extended,

unrealistic dialogue. And because these lovers are retelling the

story to one another, we get the additional annoyance of that

"second person" feel, where every other sentence contains the

word "you."

There isn't enough plot to counter-balance the negatives in this

story. Unless you're the kind of person who can't get enough

romantic threesomes, you'll probably want to skip this one.
