Professional Review of The RestStop: Jeff and Jeanine

by Miriam L. Jacobs



Romance
When I penned, The RestStop: Jeff and Jeanine I knew that it would grab the attention of those who play the Internet dating game. In many cases, love blooms and two people live happily ever after...


However, in some cases, the union is nothing but disaster, even tragic! In this, my debut novel, I am proud to say that the main characters, Jeff and Jeanine, paint a clear picture of Internet romance gone terribly wrong.


Synopsis:
The RestStop: Jeff and Jeanine is packed with thrills and chills; a surprise around every corner!

* Does Jeanine truly know who her sensual Internet lover really is?

* Does anyone truly know if the person on the other side of the computer monitor is who he says he is?

* What happens in the motel when Jeff and Jeanine finally meet for a night of unadulterated passion?

Professional Review:

This wonderfully crafted tale takes place in the space of one evening, with the author using flashbacks to paint the slate of her creations. She took measures to slow the passing of time, instilling a sense of dread and gloom. Magnified by well proportioned chapters that jolt you in and out of the time stream, character lamentations were time on the clock. So were memories heralding their lusty Internet beginnings; an elevator ride and a walk down the hall is a journey within a journey, the author also using impatience as a tool to reveal the true nature of the beast.

Anticipation also affected the time sense. Jeff and Jeanine’s surface reason for meeting at The RestStop was
for a session of extreme sex. Their excitement was infectious, with mutually driven bliss giving rise to
visions of past conquests, bathing the reader in soft flickering lights, the remembrance of past acts of hearty lustiness.

With both parties claiming sexual abuse in their histories, the players were victims by their own right and pinpointing the antagonist will be a heavenly task for the reader. One person suffered from witnessing consistent acts of emotional neglect committed by a womanizer, while the other was traumatized by a domineering, disapproving mother, and a horrifying high school incident that leaves the recipient mentally crippled and in some sense, ageless. After the trauma was endured, the perpetrator extended the further courtesy of forgetting his victim.

Some of these missteps were a products of the last generation. These flashbacks also set the stage to avenge a wrong created in THIS generation, once again, rendering the attacker blameless.

Jeff was a product of his environment; he hated women. Or rather, he thought he did. Either way, his upbringing made not a lot of accommodations for women, ladies, or anything maternal., his only appreciation being that of unattached pleasure.

Perhaps one could classify this as a tale of Man vs. Self. Said issues were instilled into the players by generational devices, somewhat exonerating them, allowing the reader to feel empathetic for the characters, even at their most vile.

That being said, once you sprinkle themes of retribution and revenge into the equation, the true victim remains
unclear and things begin to proceed in fashions unforeseen. A chance Internet meeting, they both join in on the orchestration of the engagement, with one party seeking to make a statement of the occasion.

Sex as a weapon; weapons of distraction, dominance, of degradation.

Miss Jacobs concoction is a tasty pleasure, a sweet treat.
