This was a story that I picked up somewhat randomly as it was being posted, and I ended up being pleasantly surprised.
My expectation of the plot was that a mustache-twirling, evil-doing baddie would kidnap this girl with one of two possible outcomes:
1) he rapes her while cackling and twirling his mustache, gets the ransom money, story ends with her either staying or going
2) she ends up getting Stockholm Syndrome and, despite some hardship and attempts by her father to reclaim her, they live happily ever after with or without the ransom
Without spoiling anything too severely, neither of those scenarios accurately depict the events which take place in this story, and I'm grateful for that.
As readers of my reviews may have figured out, I'm a big fan of characterization. This story has bits and pieces of it scattered in, but, while I can recall the story's characters, I can't actually recall any defining traits about them. Whoops.
Plot-wise, I gave this one high marks because it manages to avoid some of the more obvious cliches and kept me guessing a bit till the end.
The stroke here was pretty good, and it fit with the story without, by any means, taking it over or becoming repetitive. While it says "Much Sex", I think I remember it more for the plot.
I can't recall exactly how well the story was written since it was some time ago, so I'm going to be charitable here and mark it N/A. You (might have) dodged a bullet here, Mr Hyde!
Anyway, this is a nice little story if you want to see how an author can take a seemingly obvious plot and then twist it around a bit to make something new while sprinkling in some good sex to top it off. Bravo.
