This story kept me over-bubbling with pure excitement from the first lines to the very end. Made it hard to read, too, because I kept trying to see in advance what happens next. Loved the names of the places, and Cynara and Aunt Leenie. Absolutely wonderful! A, yes - the sex scene did, unfortunately, include both of my most feared clichetic phrases: the 'graceful' dropping to one's knees and the sliding 'home' bit. Well. Otherwise, the story couldn't have been more perfect for me. The sequel? Can't wait. The characters in this story are all one can dream of.
