A Tale from the Roadhouse Their best friend was getting married, and they wanted to do something memorable. At the Roadhouse, "memorable" often has a twist to it.
When a family and their servant are stranded on a deserted island, their lives and future depend on survival skills and discarding the society rules they grew up with. (This story has a lot more sex than "some sex" so I labeled it "much sex." But it's not a stroke story so it has plenty of plot and character development, which includes non-sex scenes. Also, the "slow" story code doesn't mean it's boring. It means there's story buildup before the sex begins.) / (Reviews)
