1: Serena by Arty BDSM isn't usually my thing, but this story is wonderful. The characters come to life and the author gives us some amazing insights into submission and dominance.
I'll read anything Gary Johns publishes, and this is my favourite story of them all.
3: A Blossom Fell... by Dag123 A short story, Dag123 draws you in quickly. It's a bittersweet tale and I can't read it without being brought to the brink of tears.
4: A Benign Something by JT Malone This story has romance, a slow build-up and arousing sex. It builds the tension between the two leads beautifully.
Tony is another author that could write the phone book and I'd still read it. This story is long, but worth it.
6: A Time to Love by Jonas This is probably one of the best tearjerkers around that wasn't written by me. Jonas does a fine job of developing his characters slowly and fully. The interactions are not forced or contrived. He tugs at the reader's heart without piling on the schmaltz too deep.
