Being a forty-two-year-old English professor at a private university and writing erotica makes Harrison Winslow guard his identity closely, never interacting with fans. Until RedLace24.

Flirtatious emails and steamy sexting culminate in a weekend of hedonistic sex and surprising intimacy. Harrison struggles to keep the truth from Red, especially when she discloses her name and opens up to him, revealing that she’s an aspiring author.

Sydney has a slight addiction to the sexy weekly updates written by H.R. Reve. Even though they’d never met, never spoken, his writing inspired her dreams and fantasies and he’d never let her down. Harrison knew RedLace24 was one of his most solid and reliable fans. He needed the secrecy that online writing gave him – his career as a teacher demanded he kept it so – but as their written exchanged become more private – and more detailed – will the exposure of their secrets derail their carefully constructed lives?

I found this to be an intensely written and hot short story. Personally, I found I needed to disconnect my brain a little to really sit back and enjoy it. I just couldn’t find it realistic that a writer who needed and wanted to keep their real life completely separate from their erotic writing would want to make such an intimate real-life connection with a reader. The world is full of stalkers and crazies – plus the risk to Harrison’s career and tenure was a real threat – so throwing caution to the wind on a woman he’d only exchanged raunchy messages with just seemed totally illogical to my mind. That said, once I just ignored the “reality” and logical aspect to the story and enjoyed the characters and situation without thinking about it, I really did enjoy the story. It’s sexily steamy and well paced – the characters are engaging and definitely into each other in a big way.

Readers looking for a quick and heavily erotic story should find this really to their liking. The author changes perspectives with the chapters, allowing the reader to glance into both Harrison and Sydney’s heads and see exactly where they’re both coming from. I found this helped ease a lot of my confusion about why someone would risk his livelihood and career over a bit of spicy internet chatting – and also helped me see that Sydney wasn’t a rabid or crazy fan gone wild. It helped me understand where they were each coming from and helped my enjoyment of the story.

For most of the story the conflict comes in the form of Harrison and Sydney setting up their relationship and deepening the connection they began online. Personally I found this added enough tension to satisfy me – there was a wealth of unknowns in meeting a virtual stranger from the internet. Since they’d been intimate and shared sex-pictures and such I felt there were plenty of emotional and relationship pitfalls they both had to negotiate. I admit I was surprised that Harrison wasn’t more concerned throughout the story about sharing his secret “writers persona” with Sydney and the potential to lose his job and career. While this aspect of their connecting certainly isn’t ignored, Harrison seemed to not consider it after a simple thought or two until well toward the end of the story. I felt the emotional and relationship tension and concerns really helped contrasts to the sexy shenanigans they both enjoyed so much together.

Readers looking for a hot and sexy short story should find this ticks a lot of boxes. Disconnect your brain, sit back with a very cold drink, relax and enjoy the ride.
