Fiction du jour: Caught off Base

'Ange' picks up a lost waif in the rain... Interesting beginning. Salacious in its implications even ... for Tyler (the waif) quickly calls Ange a "pervert". But as the story unfolds quickly the sexual tension and angst over past relationships makes Caught Off Base a sexy and heartfelt introduction to author JM Snyder. The story is expertly written, sexual situations nicely teased out, with even the ominous rise of the antagonist (Lamar) who I wanted to jump into the story to protect Tyler from. The only complaint is the length. It's too short for the 2.99 price. Should have been .99cents. However its only a mild complaint because I enjoyed the story, and JM Snyder is now on my radar. The character of Ange is from an earlier Snyder book called Stepping Up to the Plate, which I haven't read yet but its on my to do list. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Five stars for quality characters and prose ... minus one for length.
