No kids, no pets, no neighbors, no mistress or mystery lover – just a man and a wife searching for ways to reconnect as they start the next phase of their lives. But how do they do that? Is it even worth the effort?
A Naked Holiday offers a realistic glimpse at what happens when the kids are grown and a couple must find their way without the constant distraction of raising children. Zane and Janie each approach their getaway at a remote cabin hoping for the best and fearing the worst. Their willingness to learn about one another’s desire and their determination to become the other’s fantasy, despite their own fears, makes this story a true love story. My only problem with this was the leaping into the past to explain the situation but overall it is handled well enough not to detract much from the moment. The intimacy between the two extends far beyond the actual sexual acts and made me want to know more about their retreat from the world. The underlying insecurity both characters suffer adds a believability and strength to this short that makes it well worth the read. Nice job, Ms. Devereux.
