*fans self* :)

Love it! More soon please!

I love, love, love it !!! Now I need to go back and read the first six chapters. Don't know how I missed this one.......

Well written, Hawt and secksy.

Wonder if she will manage to tame him though because I particularly like when she pushes back?

Thank you very very much. (Next brunch should take place at Sabrina's or Beau Monde!) I really look forward to reading your next installments!

I loved every word written down. and as i now wait, with a huge smile on my face for chapter 8, because really their story has only now begun :))

Karli101: Glad you liked it and it made you smile. I consider that a success!

poeticlicense: My Philly friend, thanks for the feedback. Keep reading. I have to say, I'm not a big fan of crepe's, so no Beau Monde. How about margaritas at Nola's?

Anonymous(s): "Whew! and More soon!": I think that means you enjoyed it. Thank you. Anonymous "Great Story": Do your homework! Read Ch1 through Ch6, or your punishment will be no Chapter 8 for you!

Masterfuljim: Thank you "Secksy"! I love that and would use it in a story, but I would get a ton of text telling me I misspelled it! I have often read your comments on other author's sites. We appear to share some similar likes in reading materials. I consider your commenting on my story as an "honor" since I highly enjoy and respect the talents of the other author's and stories you have commented on in history. Thank You!

Love the power exchange and how he subtly tames her

Very hot and sexy...

This is a thrilling novella from an up-and-coming author. The interplay between the characters is both realistic and thrilling. A little long to read online so if you have the ability, print it out and enjoy.

I love it, the atmosphere, the characters. Its so sexy, well done. Please don't stop x.

Are any new chapters coming?

Thank you each for reading, enjoying, and commenting on my story. I enjoy the reader's feedback more than you know. I take the good and the bad to heart. Anonymous "Stunning", I'm glad you found it so!

"georgeblack": I'm happy you liked the character's play and interactions with each other and found them to be realistic and thrilling. I hope you continue to follow the story. There will be more of both.

Anonymous "Thrilling": Thank you Sexy! Glad you enjoyed the read.

"joyryds": Love your lit name. Yes...there will be more coming. I just started Chapter Eight. It was delayed while I completed Part 2 of my story, "My Man, My Marine and My Lover!..which FYI is a great story and can be found in the "Erotic Couples" section. I hope you give it a read.

Once again, thank you all for your support and comments! Love, Apple *

the way it's supposed to be! Too many wanna-be-doms don't understand that the relationship is all about building trust. Please continue LTR; this is the best series in the BDSM category.

This is a fabulous series. I began reading it when it first showed up. I hope there are more stories coming. It would be a shame to stop here!

Damn. I really really really want to just love this. Your writing abilities are definitely strong and your grasp of building an actual relationship is strong. I just still find Alexandra and Jamison a bit overwrought. :-/. I wanna tell them to have a drink or two, a valium, or forget the kink and just fuck each other into exhaustion already.

Is the Ashley is in trouble thing settled now? While 'outing' someone is significant, it is not as if she sat around the salon gabbing about him to everyone getting a mani pedi. She was rightfully concerned about a very close friend who could have been hurt going into something she new nothing about. There is a lack of balance there. Would the domly doms not want her to protect this precious friend? And WTF about the guys' manipulations? That doesn't count because they are the domly doms? >:-[

Whining done. Strong writing and a strong story. Head and shoulders above the glut of noncon and torture porn masquerading as bdsm lately.

I am enjoying following along with the story, but I hope as you continue to write you will think about working with editors or beta readers. I have a hard time picturing their conversations because they use each other's names so often that the end result feels rather forced. Sometimes they use the name twice in one sentence, or to begin/end multiple consecutive sentences.

I am also a little mixed up on the trajectory of their relationship. I understand that they felt an instant connection/attraction. That's cool, I get that. Then they do a lot of talking and he wants her to think about hard limits, etc. I get that. But now he's taken her out in public in what was originally presented as a business meeting, and done some very public naughty things. How would he know that these activities aren't hard limits for her? I don't see why he would go to the trouble of educating her (the 'homework') just to rush ahead with activities she might not consent to? To me, it makes him seem a little arbitrary and unpredictable. How will Alex know when she is is his architect and when she is his sub? How can she trust him to keep her safe if he introduces the idea of limits, but engages in activities that might not be within her limits?

I will definitely keep reading and applaud your efforts, just wanted to throw out some things to think about as you keep writing.

Somehow I knew that Friday was too far off in the distance and even though they are leaving the restaurant, the best part of dinner has not yet been served. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Thank you for stating so clearly some of my concerns. Except for the brief discussion of the hard limits on the alphabetically arranged BDSM activites list, there has been no discussion of her limits. He orders, she questions, and he threatens. That is his pattern, over and over again. One thing I don't understand about him (and most other story doms) is if he loves her wit, intelligence, and 'sauciness" so much, why is he attempting to beat it out of her? Alex said it well with her thought that he loves to tease but not being teased. I always feel the dom is training a robot.

A lot of it is very sexy, erotic and right.

But...a lot of it isn’t, the heated conversation over the bites and bruises. So he can tell her he sees it as sexy and shows how much he desires her. In the heat of the moment all of that is true but afterwards it does look awful, she felt like she looked whorish and trashy that feeling isn’t so easy to dispel, that’s human nature.

Humiliating her at a business dinner is crossing too many boundaries, he either respects her as a person or he doesn’t.

Better and better! I’m enjoying myself immensely. I know I’m years behind its start, but it still does the trick! Keeps me wet and warm. I want more. Chrissy
