It's so far. Though I can tell when an author is writing about a generation they are not part of, they always criticize the sexual mores, the se way their parents criticized mini skirts and such in the 60's
Thanks for writing
Very nice start to the story, I look forward to more of this romance
Thanks for writing
I hear the Jimmy Buffett version when I think of that song. Once again, this proves there is a very fine line between love and hate. The opposite of love is not hate; it's indifference. Five stars as is my common rating for your tales. Like others, eagerly awaiting more.
Man, I really wish you'd do a BMWM story. You're like the epitome of this type interracial pairing, where it's sweet as fuck in most instances as opposed to the opposite...
Excellent story and worthy of 5 BIG ASS FUCKING HUGE FLAMING NOVA STARS! Thanks.
I really like this idea and I've enjoyed what I've read so far. I must admit though that I thought she would need far longer to "thaw" to Leon than how this currently progressed; I thought you'd perhaps conclude chapter 1 with her deciding to finally give him a chance than chapter 1 ending with Bree giving him a CHANCE. I thought you quite clever to use softball as the vehicle to drive them together, and to use her teaching English as a bit of a (seeming) contradiction.
Can't see there being any (or many) comments about pairing them up, nor about color. I love how you used the one man's wife to tell him to "ignore color--just look at her as a woman." That's perfect advice--although there are still places where they try to make it an issue (sadly).
I hope you'll continue developing this the way it seems to be going, as she won't drop all of her bad habits at once. Here's a fact: for every year a person has a bad habit, they need ONE MONTH of constant effort to rid themselves of it. So if I remember correctly, this started when she was 19 and she's now 26, which means in real time she'd need 7 months to totally erase that bad habit from her system.
Promising start! 5
Good start to this Romance story. I almost missed it in the IR category, as I seldom check it but it came up in my Favorite Authors submissions and since it was written by you I gave it a shot. Very nice romantic start. I hope this is not going to degenerate into some "surviving the racism of others" story. I like romance stories and dislike racial stereotype stories so my fingers are crossed and I am trusting you.
Can't wait for next chapter. Sorry there isn't six stars. Have never said that before, and I really read a lot.
Your writing is great. Thank you for the story and can't wait to read the next chapter.
Fun story. I’d have Leon say, “I’d like see you more, but I won’t take any more racist comments. If there’s going be a relationship, we can’t have any toxic talk.”
I wish to submit a correction to my comment: It's Cat Stevens' version of "Another Saturday Night" that I hear in my head.
It's a great setup, and I’m looking forward to seeing this tale develop.
Second time reading this story. I'm sorry I can't give it another of my very few 5 stars.
