This was a sweet story. A few mistakes were in it, but not too bad. I can't wait to see what you write next.
I didn't like this story at all. None of the characters were terribly likable or sympathetic. How Lina can be described as "strong" when she seems to capitulate to everyone around her is beyond me. If she was so strong, why didn't she quit when Briggs started doing stupid things -- the clothing inspection, for example, would be sexual harassment. Also, if Lina is gay, then she's gay, and I don't see how an asshole boss doing things that are unethical is going to appeal to her. And if she's bisexual, that should have been stated somewhere. Look, I'm all for fantasy and suspending disbelief, but this just didn't work.
The story didnt piece together for me it just didnt work. Its not a lose by any means, its a do-over, few nips n tucks with the storyline and characters and its good for relaunch.. Have fun with it.
Matthew was on mission and that mission was Lina. He did the ultimate he conquered her heart. Loved it!!!
Now that's what I'm talking about! He went after what he wanted and never stopped till he got it. Good read!
All in all a very enjoyable read. Though at times I felt like Lina was getting manipulated into falling for Matthew not by Matthew himself solely but by his dad and friends as well like she was a pawn. I am glad Matthew pursued her and fought for her but it seemed like her previous life wasn't respected. And I do agree that maybe gay was not the right sexual orientation here but bisexual even if Lina never been with a man before if she is gay than she is gay no amount of pursuing or set ups by Matthew would change that fact that she isn't drawn to men. But despise that technicality the story was a dope and hot read.
I can appreciate all the comments left, there is truth to be found in each. I found it exciting! I approached the story from the perspective that he was living a fantasy aloud. I am strongly aware this behavior could not would not exist in real life, at least not for me, but I enjoyed it.
The only thing that ruined it for me was the black woman having grey eyes...>.<
Great story though. :)
Several people have commented on her sexual orientation. Well up until she found her self intersted in Matthew, Lina had only date Charlene. She never dated a guy, so for all intents and purposes, she did not think she was attracted to men. I think she made a statement about this in the text.
Then, Matthew's boorish behavior. He wanted her to quit. He ran off every assistant, so he decided to still act like an ass so that he could keep a lid on his feelings.
When he learned she and Charlene were finished, he didn't have to give her the evidence from the guy he hired. Becasue for all intents and prupose, he was letting her know of his interest.
I apologize if anyone was offending by this tale, but tha's what it is a story. So please don;t take it so literally. Just read it for fun. TY------IR2R
In need of editing but other than that a great story. I do agree, the description of the main character's appearance didn't stick with me. I often thought of her as a white woman throughout the story.
I thought it was a great story but in some places it was a little to fast.
Hey
Great story love the juxoposition and the tension and how you use it to make the story work
Awwwwww, this was one of those stories that left me all fuzzy inside. I loved every minute of reading this and read the entire thing anticipating what would happen next :) You get five stars from me!! Again, beautiful story...totally made my night.
This story, but I still think it's weird that Charlene was appointed the baby's godmother. Matthew didn't even like the woman.
Great short and quick story. I look foward to reading more of your stuff.
I truly felt this story. Lina and Matt were so good together.
Don't know how I missed this one, but loved it to death!!!
Like your stuff. A wonderful combination of drama and fun.
Great flow with a minimum of technical errors easily overlooked.
Nice work!!
a bodice ripper without a bodice! change of minds in a mili-second. and a one-hour delivery...very rare.
I read the first two pages, and couldn't be bothered to read the rest. Neither of the protagonists is likable, Matthew even less so. No indication was given in the story that Charlene wasn't good enough for Lina, or that Matthew's dislike of Charlene was anything other than sexual jealousy. And of course, Matthew's behavior was unethical and wrong in the extreme.
LOL, she's 6' and he's 6'7"? What is this? Brobdingnag? I am not gulliver but I also didn't enjoy my experience in this land.
