This title popped up on the 'suggested reading' panel and I took a look. I must say I am rather glad I did.

The story is a nicely tuned office romance. Young doctor Bill and his (unhappily) married secretary gently form more than just a friendship.

The telling does not fall into the old formulaic traps and the pacing is absolutely superb. There is enough tension in the plot that any of several outcomes could have been perfectly possible and the one that comes to pass is obviously the best.

Descriptive passages are so very well crafted too. I will have to read the piece again, but I am fairly certain that the most 'obvious' piece of description was about the office layout. Everything else was described in passing and I really liked that fact. It means that the reader can choose his own imagery and mine was very pleasant, thank you very much :0)

I read this one just before breakfast and it's left me feeling that life is "nice..."

btw, as of this review, the voting had not even placed this gem in the nines, I see that 97 people had voted so there must have been some very strange scores. Each to his own I guess (there's no incest,bestiality,sadism or torture. There's just a very realistic telling of a relationship.) I can't think what would drag this one down from a full 10.

Dr. Barstow has long admired Tina, his administrative assistant. One day -" a day on which the poor young lady is just plain hot to trot - she gets stood up by her husband. That's the bad news. The good news is that one day when the poor young lady is just plain hot to trot, she gets stood up by her husband. So Dr. Barstow fills in . It's really pretty hot stuff.

Some grammatical mistakes ditract from the story, but once Dr. Barstow gets Tina into the sack, the sex is quite nice.
