Had great potential

bit it lost it with the sex -- it was simply not erotic. And you need an editor; you meant "beck and call", not "beckon call".

In response to "beck and call"

Thank you for your not so kind response. The misspelled "bit" for "but", at the beginning of your comment, did bring me a slight chuckle. I do enjoy constructive criticism, and I do stand corrected because of the following website information on 'Common Errors in English'. However, the information from m-w.com was what I used and trusted. If you go to m-w.com (Merriam-Webster) online dictionary you will find the information I used while writing, which I have copied and pasted below.
