Reactions and Reviews

Intimate stories of V and C together. In "All That Heaven Doth Allow" Catherine remembers a sexual interlude with V while she is in the shower and Vincent, on his way home, has flashback memories as well of their sexual union. In "Thresholds" Catherine is sent on a trip to Maine. Jacob is already born in this story. Vincent and Catherine miss each other badly. Vincent spends a lot of time with his son. The remaining stories are just as intimate. [1]
