...and a real wordsmith. But, I'm having trouble warming to the characters. Almost by definition, Asperger people are cold fish and hard to love. Can she change him? Almost certainly not; it's hardwired. Can an attractive young woman be so down on her luck that putting up with this guy is her only option? We can only look forward to more robot romance.
What a fantastic set up..
can u make him bit manly .. like he is having good physic and all.. it seems more convincing on the part of the woman ( or am i reading too much of erotica?) but i really wish the man should have some qualities other than a virgin shy nerd.. she needs something more than that and will be more convincing .. like after she trims his hair .. there should be some appreciation from her about his looks or something like that
anyways .. this is the best story and i loved it !!
thanks a ton for sharing

I really enjoy these characters and think they are believable. I am getting bored of the same tired archetype over and over. They are completely honest and many a woman appreciates the straight forward approach that is Deacon's only way of exchanging information. I love how you mix humour into the story so gently giveing the reader some credit and not explaining every detail to death. Great pace and build it is so hard to put down!
No self respecting man would let their lover call them puppy. Other than that I'm enjoying this read.
I really enjoy reading how she is able to help him move beyond his comfort zone. Many women I know would not have the patience, the will, the compassion to make it happen. I like the way you bring him along in his development and realization. Might not happen outside a fiction story but makes for good reading and hope for a better life for him.
I'm reading through this series again, after reading several of the "Ginaverse" stories this past winter. At the time this particular narrative was almost too poignant for me to handle reading – and I couldn't comment right away after reading. But even then I thought Miranda and Deacon’s story in particular was very powerful and very well written. In a way, it seemed to be a kind of pinnacle for where some of your other narratives had been heading, in that it draws on some things that you’ve used successfully in different stories, putting them together here.
As one other person said, it's wonderful to see Miranda learning how Deke works and beginning to understand and adjust to him. The flashes of honesty and courage that he shows are also powerful. But the ways in which Miranda (and you, of course) handle the test dinner are just brilliant, and wonderfully creative (again, both you and Miranda). Deke’s summary of what Miranda means to him is a revelation, and laden with those non-chemical emotions. An extremely enjoyable read –
Ehhh interesting enough I guess. Do a good job portraying autism because this MC is just so fucking painful awkward and unrelatable it's difficult to read.
