{ASSM} Summer at the Pool by Laura Lynn Davis, F/f Consensual Sex By Laura Davis <ldavis4@hotmail.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34610
A sexy couple moves in next door, and the first thing they do is install a new outdoor pool. Natalie, an inexperienced tomboy, gets free use of the pool in exchange for cleaning it every day. She develops a big crush on Mike, but it is Anne who she ultimately gets tangled up with.
My major complaint with this is the sex is merely skimmed over. We have a exceptionally sexy set up, and when the key moment comes, the just skips on past with the briefest possible descriptions of what happened. I was left high and dry.
Laura Davis is a talented writer. I've rated two of hers three stars, but don't be misled by that - the I read both suffered from being a little bit rushed in places, but the writing is still first rate. I don't have time to review every story by this prolific author, but I expect many of her other stories to be excellent reads. Laura Davis is an author to look for. Rating: * * *

{ASSM} Jaime's First Try(MFf,oral,anal) By No <noman975@hotmail.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34643
The `f' in this is 19-years-old, and there is also some light bondage.
A husband promises to give his wife, Jaime, a night to remember. She arrives in their bedroom on cue, dressed in her sexiest outfit. Jaime blows him, he ties her up and blindfolds her, and then the real fun begins.
The husband has hired a hooker for the night, and they pull a variation of the switcheroo. The hooker secretly takes over for the husband and takes Jaime to the heights of pleasure.
My credulity was stretched to the breaking point when the hooker kisses Jaime without Jaime figuring out something is up. There are several grammar mistakes along the way, but they are spread out enough to not distract from the story. More annoying are the extraneous adverbs, which grated on my ears.
But as far as stroke go, this one isn't too bad. Rating: * * *

{ASSM} Seducing Sasha (MF, rom, 1st, oral) By Courtney Sweet <webmistress@courtney-sweet.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34627
In her first job after graduating from college, a gorgeous, 21- year-old virgin is swept away by Vic, the workplace stud. Vic and Sasha take a romantic horseback ride on the beach, where they eat and drink and talk and you-know-what.
This is a little unfocussed. It starts out with a wonderful description of Sasha's love for silk and skin, but I was disappointed when that part of Sasha was simply dropped, never referred to again. Vic is also unconvincing, and there aren't enough words spent describing his transformation from a to a committed lover.
The grammar isn't bad, but it isn't great, either. While the author creates a romantic atmosphere, the never quite gels. Rating: * * *

{ASSM} cuyahoga.001 [urfe] [new] (as falls cuyahoga, so falls cuyahoga falls) By Nicholas Urfe <nickurfe@yahoo.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34650
Vanessa Cuyahoga gets it good from Marko and Timo Lappalainen, who are, I believe, architects. Or maybe they design swimming pools. Whatever, that doesn't really matter. What really matters is Vanessa grunting and moaning and twisting around between these two brothers as she gets it in her ass and she gets it in her cunt at the same time.
I liked this a lot. Not only was the sex good, but it was told with a lot of flair. You don't see that often, especially in a this short.
A truly outstanding story. Don't miss it. Rating: * * * * *

{ASSM} Sammy's Hot Summer (m F) By Too MuchTime <toomuchtime@lovemail.com> http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/34652
We have a recurring theme in this week: the new moving in next door. In "Sammy's Hot Summer," Sammy's makes him introduce himself to the new neighbor. Sammy wanders over and meets the new 34DDD lady of the house, who is running around in a little blue silk robe. She asks him to help her with her computer, and after he gets her printer and modem working again, she shows him her websites. The name of her website is "BustyBethany," which should give you a pretty good idea what Bethany does for a living.
This is technically sound with very few grammatical errors, but it is one giant cliche. Big-busted redhead, shy teenager ... you've read it a thousand times before. This is just the first chapter of what I assume will be a longer work, but if the first chapter is any indication of what is to come, all we have here is a hackneyed plot, even if it is well written.
