Reactions and Reviews

1990

This was a delightful, heart-warming read about Spock offering to have sex with Kirk merely for the reason of meeting Kirk's physical needs. It was well focused, tightly written, and with excellent characterization. Spock's dialogue was flawless. (Loved his line, "I fully expect to receive my share of pleasurable sensations from our joining.") The subtle bits of humor were a nice touch, and McCoy's degree of involvement was just the right amount. I am amazed at this author's improvement in such a short time.

I enjoyed this well written story up to the point where Kirk and Spock kept the Enterprise just hanging around waiting while they sorted out their personal relationship, had sex, bonded, talked, and had sex again. I find it hard to accept that they would allow their personal lives to take precedence over their duty to such an extent.

One technical quibble -- in the dinner scene the author says Y'es'ka is mildly alcoholic, but when Kirk later drinks it before the first sex scene, the drink is described as potent.

1991

Now this is a love story! It has just the right blend of curiosity, doubt and intensity to be convincing. I found both dialogue and actions to be most accurate of ay own preconceived perceptions of Kirk and Spock. It was beautifully and poignantly told, right down to the symbolism of the docking shuttles, locked together, alone in the vast blackness of space.
