So wonderfully imaginative, Jan. Adultery is certainly a fiery entanglement for all involved. Clever writing. A scorcher. Loved it.

Jan, funny how a dumpster fire destroys the flames of desire. It's a poetic combination that makes us all think about how these things could happen and what the results bring. I'm very lucky not to have first hand experience with this issue, but I can still laugh/cry about it and the way you sum it all up! That takes talent!

Thankfully for me it is pure fiction and I put it down as humourous with burning HER knickers too lol - not sure if others find it funny though:-) hugs jan xx
