This is one of Tia's best stories. It is the third largest she has written to date weighing it at 36 chapters and over 177,000 words. I enjoy long stories like this because typically just when I start to fall in love with the characters the story ends.
This one is truly a coming of age story about a teenage girl who is discovering and experimenting with healthy fantasies. She explores them with people that I believe she doesn't have a romantic interest with in part because of the psychological need to explore the fantasies without connecting them to "romance". It's also a lot safer that way in terms of unwanted pregnancy - although that is never explicitly stated in the story, I feel it is always implied.
It's part fate, and luck that things align for Tia in this story to allow her to discover what pushes her buttons. This is not going to be a hardcore bondage fantasy or a super stroke fantasy that is going to just be a collection of "he stuck it in, then I moaned, I touched him there, he thouched me there" descriptive text.
The author truly "weaves" a tale in that she builds up the tension and the pacing so that you experience the increased awareness and desires WITH the main character on her journey of self-discovery.
I would say this is a fantastic story and if you enjoy the works of Vulgus or Vanessa Evans then you would also enjoy this. My only nit and I am guilty of this in my own writing is that the story ends a bit too abruptly for me - but it was a satisfying run.
If you aren't a fan of longer stories, just take this one in short sessions and keep coming back and picking up where you left off.
