Reactions and Reviews

As I noted the author's name, I looked forward to reading a story by a male writer, eager to see the difference in points of view on love making. My thoughts after two pages was, 'good, a plot.' I followed the story fairly easily up to where the Romulan? Romulan/Vulcan man carried Kirk to a cabin or perhaps it was an old building. From there things became really confused. Kirk was drugged, Kirk was made love to? Kirk was strong, Kirk was weak? One minute everything was cloak and dagger, pass words, identification phrases, everything bugged, sabotage and terrorism, the next minute, every one just strolls around and no one pays any attention to them. The Romulan was grateful to Spock for something? I'm pretty sure he lead Spock to Kirk, Spock was jealous? Angry? There seemed no concern about being in touch with the ship, were they on leave? Kirk loves Spock, he responds to Spock, he wants the Romulan, he's not sure what he wants, but happily the Romulan has apparently left, solving that particular problem. Kirk and Spock stroll off into some woods or something. They're also planning on fixing a broken bond I was not previously aware they had in this story, the title being the only place it was mentioned. I came to the last of the story completely confused and disappointed.... I did give it a good try!
