REVIEW: Novices

1st February 2012

To read the story first please click here: Novices Warning; Spoiler Alert.   This story was written as a response to the challenge ‘Write 1500 words for: ‘It hurts to be in love’. My story for that was ‘Abandoned, and Toria wrote her very successful ‘His Last Desire’, both stories dealing with adult love. ‘Novices’ however is a very different approach.
