What an inventive, well written tale. For once the characters who come together have some real depth and things in common (the PI's psychology degree was an interesting twist). By the end the reader feels that these two deserve some happiness with each other.
Too much too fast. It seemed like you pushed a storyline to meet the Valentine deadline? 4*
Nice story. Clearly the physical attraction was there at their very first meeting. It's only later when they are past the bumps in the road that they discover they actually like each other!
What seems a typical meet cute romance is elevated by the well written characters. The characterization and dialog make it a good read.
Thanks for the story and keep on writing.
This is an intriguing story. I like how the sexual tension really flares up after they decide to grab takeout and spend the evening together. The epilogue makes it clear that this is more than just an erotic coupling so I'm fine with it in Romance. I would have preferred a bit more background on these two. For example a guy like Del must have had at least one woman in his past. I would like to see a sequel, maybe Del does go back into research psychology or he and Elena work through a relationship crisis and get married. But I'm still giving you 5 stars.
Brilliant! this is the best one yet! Loved the Italian viognier reference too.
