"A unique look at relationships"

Showtime by Caitlyn Willows is a short story. As a short story there is not much opportunity for character, setting, or plot development.

Showtime is about 4 married couples who are vacationing together while attending the wedding of friends. The women see the time away from the kids as an opportunity to renew thei sexual sides of their marriages. Them men see is as a chance for some male bonding while in pursuits of the activities offered by being in the great outdoors.

The show begins when the women decide tos how the men what they are missing. Naturally the men become voyeurs and soon find themselves wanting to be a part of the show.

Showtime holds true to the e-book form that I've come to know and enjoy as quickies. Unfortunately for me Showtime was not as enjoyable as others that I've read. I felt as though there were too many characters for the short story format. I prefer fewer characters for a bit more character development thus allowing me as a reader to becaome a bit more emotionally involved in their lives. I will however read another book by this author as the overall tone of the book was enjoyable.
