This is just incredibly lovely. The scenes and the characters are so richly detailed, I could see and feel every bit of it. I am in awe of what you have done with Boromir; instead of the warrior, or the hero, you've given us a wonderful glimpse of the man himself. Simply amazing. -Ell

Well-written smut, *and* with an OFC! What a rareity and a treasure when found. I didn't even mind that it was an OFC -- like *I* should talk, eh? Wink smiley face

Like the reviewer above, I love it when an author shows Boromir the man, rather than stuck in the trappings of his station and duty all the time. The guy does have other sides to him, methinks. When he's shown as nastily ambitious or vindictive, he just falls apart for me (which is why I don't like Autumn Hunt as much as this one). Thanks for writing smut which doesn't have canon characters in PWPs as mindless -- pardon me -- f*ck machines! I honestly cannot understand why Henneth Annun rejected this, considering some of the stuff they DO archive there (cough *casual elf slash* cough). Good work, Nancy! And keep writing!

Oh! This was great! *sob* and we know he dies!!

She was a perfect match for him, what a fabulously written OFC. She was believable as an elf but also as a lady lookin for some lovin! Superb and not at all smutty! (smutty in a bad way - this was sensually smutty Very Happy smiley face

Nice story! Bummer that he dies...

I think my favorite parts of the story are the TITLES!! How incredibly fitting and analytical... it just makes sense! I love the play on words: Gaming, Challenge, Check, Mate... and of course "Mate" is the chapter when, well... you know...

So clever! Either that, or I am way too analytical!

English grads unite!

Very well written. She is a believable character and the build up and "gaming" between the 2 was wonderful foreplay. I usually stick to male elfsmut, but this was excellent! Beautiful descriptions. Full of humor and vibrancy.

It seems like this could have really taken place in the time before the Council. I hope you right more soon.

I am in awe of your skill with imagery. They way you visually described the characters helped with their chacterizations.
A very enjoyable and stimulating read. Both *THAT* way and thoughtfully Very Happy smiley face

I went back and forth about whether to leave this review because I think you are an awesome writer. Your details are wonderful. You created a awesome visual of people, places, and mood. However.....and this is just me of course, you have done something in this one as well as one of your other NC-17 (Autumn Hunt) that is just jumping out to me and I didn't mention it on the other review. The word c*ck used is just like a huge screeching stop when you are reading something like Lord of the Rings. Unless you are talking a chicken of course. I mean I am not a prude and in modern day fan fiction - hey I am all for it but to put us in Rivendell with the elves during a beautiful passionate encounter and then with that one little word, we are thrown out of Middle Earth.

But ,and I cannot say this enough, the three stories I have read and reviewed are great and you have a great talent for writing.

Hmmm ... I will read and reconsider. - NB 12/04

After due consideration and helpful discussion with Alassante I've decided to let the text stand as is. I wanted the least metaphorical yet not clinical term I could find and that was it. If that word offends you, reader, be advised.

Only rarely do I read something a second or fifth time. And this is one of them. The language is perfect. Like I was a fly on the wall watching and listening to everything, even what was gong on in their minds. Bow smiley face
