most people who consider themselves "readers" tend to be open-minded, and are curious about things that have nothing to do with their day to day existance. like you I will read most things put in front of me,yes even a "cereal box." I read your book, and enjoyed it. the plot was believable,the story well-paced,and although sexually explicit, it was not gratuitious or exploitative.I am a married,straight female;however, erotica is erotica! your final story was a "love" story regardless if the characters were straight or gay!! keep on swinging, thats how you hit them out the ballpark.
Maybe you are too young . . . what do you think?
