Reactions and Reviews
1989
I love the title to this one! Not a new idea — having someone else's lovemaking arouse Kirk and Spock who ultimately confess their feelings for each other — but a very nice "handling" (sorry) of it. [1]
Terrific title! And highly erotic, with just enough touches of humor included to make me read it grinning with absolute delight. [2]
Is a good title for this story. At first I thought it was just going to be a funny story but as it went on I could see that it was also a serious story. All Kirk wanted to do was rest and there was this noise that was keeping him up... he didn't realize what the noise was until Spock described the noise. Then he got embarrassed once he realized that McCoy was in the other room, and he was making the noise. That only made the matter worse when Spock realized what was going on. This was a good way to get Kirk and Spock together. I mean it is stimulating to hear someone malting love, it seems, even to Vulcans. It allowed Kirk and Spock to share something that they had never thought to have shared before, and it even may lead to something more. I did like this story for many different reasons and these were just some of them. [3]
