Many variations and detailed descriptions. But it gets always back on track.
Sometimes slow but very erotic.
Shows very good fantasy. (9/10)

I am extremely impressed. You've reached Novella length, without any decline in pace or depravity, an unusual accomplishment.
I also must compliment you on your characterization. Each major character has their own sound, their own manners, and you can always tell who's speaking. Not to mention each person having their own fetishes and likings. Very good use of the first person narrative viewpoint.
Your spelling and grammar are good, but two things stood out for me. First, it's "arse" or "ass" (or is "arce" a regional variation?), and second it's Pavlov's dogs. Pavlova was an opera singer.
No real plot as such, but with this kind of work it's probably not necessary.
I'd like to see more of this. You seem to be going to interesting places. (9/10)

- Or a delicious sweet with meringue and cream and rasberries.....and in this part of the world, local lads say arse and write it that way. Thank you for your review. It is a real pleasure to have criticism, good or bad, to confirm that people do really read what is purely a self satisfying expression of impure but exciting imaginings. Susan.

I'm almost scared to give this story high praise, because usually when I do, the writer stops writing ;) - but anyway, I really love this story so far (2 parts as of this writing), and coming from an author I haven't heard much from before. Very cruel, and with a great deal of scope for future episodes - I hope at least the current scene is taken to a satisfactory conclusion before the author tires of it. (9/10)

Given the nature of the subject matter it is unfortunate the elaborate back-story gets in the way. Also, a question of syntax turns what could be scintillating into ferverent expectations of Enough Already. At times prose tends to be confused with line poetry.
Still a provocative topic. In this case possibly in need of finer tooling. (5/10)

I got a little lost at first. It ended with me now waiting to read the next chapter. It would be nice to know what the mother & daughter look like, to kind of get a picture of them in the minds eye (8/10)

A fair start for something which, with a little creativity, could be a very long series.
I like the personality of the narrator, but would like to delve into a little of Karl's as well. The British slang always takes me a while to get used to, but once started it was quite enjoyable, and distressing it stopped in mid ocean, so to speak.
Please send more! (7/10)
