ooh. this sounds like it is going to go all types of wrong. mega-explosion! Oh boy! Bring it!
But also take a moment to re-read and check grammar. It's distracting.

Please update as soon as you can! I'm glad Stephan's parents are excited about meeting Cara and Josiah! Stephan's mom and dad don't take no mess either!

I absolutely love Cara's father!!! This chapter had me smiling until the end. Thanks for giving me such a pleasant end to a really crappy day....
Reviewer: LadyeT Signed [Report This]Date: August 10 2012 06:09 am
Another great update. I see Stephan and Cara parents are complete opposite. With Cara parents they want her to get to know Stephan and marry him because she is in love with him. But Stephan parents want him to get marry because it will look right to be marry to mother of your children.I hope once they meet Cara their opinion will change and encourage her and Stephan to really get to know one another to be able to build an relationship on love and just for the sake of having children.
Anja is something else, the way she kept slapping Stephan on the back of his head was too funny. I can't wait to read the next update,like with the rest of your stories you are able to capture your readers to always want more!

Loving this story
Reviewer: Apple Anonymous [Report This]Date: August 10 2012 03:57 am
His mother is a little high strung the way that she kept interrupting him and hitting him in the back of the head. I liked his interaction with his son. Yhanks

I don't like this constant harp about Cara being "slow" that's gong around. I think that's the wrong word her father chose. It makes her sound weak and stupid. Has she made bad decisions? Yes. Does she need more confidence and a backbone? Absolutely! But not being able to handle stressors or stress as well as some others doesn't make her "slow." Very poor choice of words on her dads part because it holds such a negative connotation. It makes her appear damaged before she even gets there.
I think I'm gonna like Stephan's parents.
Good stuff!
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review. Maybe "slow" isn't a good word to describe Cara. Her father didn't mean it in a negative way really, but I understand your point. Cara just marches to a different drummer. She is not stupid.
Her point of view is coming up in the next chapter so perhaps everyone will understand her a little bit better.

Reviewer: chatty504 Signed [Report This]Date: August 10 2012 01:27 am
Love Stephans parents, his mother is hoot. After reading what Cecil had to say about his daughter my opinion has not changed about Cara. I still can't stand her, but I am glad that Stephans is being the bigger person and letting go of his anger. I am hoping that Cara grows both in how she sees herself and she sees the world and her place in it. Her children deserve to have what their father can provide them and they deserve to know that their father loves them.
Can't for Cara to meet his parents. I love the scene with the minister. I so love Stephan!!
Reviewer: pmgayles Signed [Report This]Date: August 10 2012 01:02 am
Wow!. Where are you going with this??????. Even thoug I suspected the parents were no racists, that they see things differently than Cara's parents is sooooo intriguing. MORE, please!
As well, I'm not quite understanding your alluding to Cara being simple in the last chpt by her father, and now explaining it as being raised in a small town hence the naivety. Which is it?. As simple for me implies handicap, while naive means not having been exposed to so called worldly experiences.
Author's Response:
Cara is not handicapped. Have you ever met a person that while they were "normal" something was a little "off". They aren't handicapped per se, they just don't process things are quickly as the normal person. Even though they may be adults, they are a bit 'childlike'.
Cara cant deal with a lot of change. She has to be eased into it. Some people have panic attacks or shut down, but Cara runs away from frightening and difficult situations. She wanted her degree and she had a full scholarship. The big city of NY was scary to her so she went from school to work. She didn't venture out because she didn't think she could handle it. This was her way of coping with being in a strange environment.
Stephan was within her comfort zone. He was at the hotel where she worked. She was frightened of him at first, but as she got used to being around him by having to fix his breakfast, she realized that she was attracted to him, and the rest...well you know the rest. LOL
I guess Cara reminds me of my sister who is a normal person, married and has a family. However, my sister cant handle stressful situations at all. She'd fall apart and is that way even now. When things happen she calls me, even now and I talk her through them and then she gets alright. I don't know how better to explain Cara, but most people know of someone like this.

The parents are too funny. Everbody demanding they get married now, not court but married, no matter if they feel any love for each other. I can't wait until both sets of parents are in the same room, it will be hilarious.
Author's Response:
LOL, Anja will have to tone it down a bit. LOL She's thinking about what the family will say about all this! More is coming soon.
Reviewer: bayoumomma Signed [Report This]Date: August 09 2012 10:24 pm
Anja is truly a mother. No matter how old your child get's they can still get popped upside the head. LOL!
Cara is not going to go for the whole rush thing on getting married I don't think her father is either cause he has already stated that if he doesn't love his daughter then it would affect the kids seeing their father not loving their mother. I loved how he defended her on not being an idiot becaushe Cara is far from it. It just takes her a bit longer to come to certain decisions but when she does it out of purpose.
Great update I need more I coudn't get this story out my head even trying to read other things but this one just kept popping up.
Thank you!
Happy writing!

Thanks Kat: More is coming...most likely tomorrow.
Reviewer: Thundakat Signed [Report This]Date: August 09 2012 10:23 pm
Ooooooooooo, you're painting Cara to be a right ASS!. Don't much care for her assumptions, projections and immaturity. Hope as you continue she'll mature and grow, otherwise I can see myself getting bored with the same ole Spiel of insecure black woman who projects all on others because (insert a given insecurity).
Good job at the end with the parents. They are right characters and you're doing really good with your portrayal of them.
On to next chpt.............
Author's Response:
Cara's problem is not so much insecurity about being black as it is about adapting to change. She has lived a very sheltered life. Yes, she will grow and Stephan will help. Thanks for the review.
Reviewer: foosrule Signed [Report This]Date: August 09 2012 10:02 pm
Wow, another update. I was slow to realise. Merci. Also, don't worry about your grammar, it is fine. I too have issues, even though English is my mother tongue, albeit I don't use it regularly since I live in an European city since 25yrs!. It's urban American english that I have a problem with, when it's misused and I suspect because the author can't write standard English.
Love this chpt. especially the parents. Very believable. Protective, simple and direct. Exactly how I picture small town people and islanders. As well, don't let Stephan forgive Cara too easily, although I understand her (a tad) it'd be nice if she has to work for Stephan's love.
Well done. On to the next chpt.
