This short story was not all that unlikeable but it didn't evoke anything to transport the reader. It raised more questions than it answered, for example, *why* did the man want to re-assemble his floating harem and *why* did he forget this and his wife remember it? Why did his wife know about it in the first place? Why would the women even bother to show up for this date? The latter question is rhetorical because it does get addressed, in a boring way, in this story.

This was a free kindle novelette. For what it was, it was a cute story about a number of women that meet at the statue of Eros five years after having a summer fling with Timo, the nephew of the owner of the hotel the women stayed at during the course of the summer. He told each of them, separately, let's meet at the statue in 5 years and see what's happened and where we are in our lives. Surreptitiously women arrive and act as though they are not waiting to meet with someone. Then they start ta...more
This wasn't really as good as the other short stories I've been reading recently. I'm not entirely sure about it - from what I understood there's a guy in Turkey who made a date with at least 4 women to meet 5 years from when they did previously and they all showed up. Each for their own reasons. Theres a surprising twist to one of the characters whose reason for being there isn't revealed until the final pages. It's not a surprising ending I guess, the story has to have a point and the reason s...more

english review:
As it says in the description of "Waiting at Eros": blush: (love scenes are not graphic) This is a suggestive romance. Okay, the love scenes are indeed not described in a graphic way, because there are absolutely no love scenes in this story! Unfortunately romance and the likes are missing as well. The so called suggestive "Romance" you can not really call romance, because "Waiting at Eros" is no love story, not at all. As most it is a very short shortstory, about four wo...more

This book was okay it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be and the characters are boring. Though it's only a short story, it should have had some sort of back story. Meet a guy 5 years later on valentines day? He has 4 women meeting him their too, but he forgets about the date? It turns out that one of the women is his wife.
Please don't waste your time. The story, basis, and characters are terrible. Though it's only a short story, it should have had some form of back story, otherwise you're lost.
Meet a guy 5 years later on a certain day? And he has 3 other women meeting him their too, then he forgets? Interesting that one of those women was his wife.
This is just a short story. It reminds me of Jeffrey Archer's tales. It was a nice little read to go along with my latte.

Just a short story. Very happy with how it ended though.
This was a short story, well written, entertaining.
Cute short-story, quick read.
Fun quick read
Sweet.
A good short story, but the twist is kind of predictable and it's clearly not up to par with Rosemary's other works.
Short and sweet. Makes you wonder. I like the little twist in it.
