Title: Author's Note

Thank you  for sharing this wonderful story. It was really great and had me captured from beginning to end. Looking forward to more of your stories.

Author's Response: Thanks Karen for staying with it to the end...it was an emotional ride but I think we can safely say that the two are heading in the right direction.  Some day I may revisit them in a spin...we'll see how it works.

Title: Chapter 15 & Epilogue

I loved this story. I was sad to see it end but it was a great   story. Thank you for sharing.

Author's Response: Thank you Karen for being such a loyal supporter from start to finish. I'm going to miss your comments as much as I miss seeing the fic go bye bye. I enjoyed sharing and I'm really glad that you enjoyed it too! :-)

Title: Chapter 14

I still don't feel bad for Katrina. She should have handled her business the way a real mother should have. There may be love there but she doesn't know how to be a mother.

Author's Response:

Your're exactly right. Katrina should have handled it better, but she doesn't have the skills and never acquired them.  Her focus was narrow when she accepted the gift of parenting, tying all of her happiness to the son.  I wrote this because I see it so often, where mothers with very little ability to love turn to the son to bring them the answers missed in love.  The girls suffer.  How Katrina treats and responds to Lourdes is a representation of how she loathes herself.  She needs some professional help to get to the issues.

Title: Chapter 13

I’m with Barbara. I don’t trust Lourdes either. She’s either playing all sides for revenge or vengeance or both and using Dean to do it, or....she’s just as much a pawn in this whole conspiracy of sex, lies, greed and murder.

Let the chips fall where they may. Hopefully Dean will come out on the other side virtually unscathed.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading and picking it up in this date, so close to my ending. I hope you get to finish it.  I selected Dean for the win, same as Lourdes.  Because she's my heroine, I chose to focus more on her dynamics being a rich girl in an unbalanced world of deception, lies, and battery.  Dean has his issues too, but they are so different from hers and come mostly by way of a poor country boy catapulted to fame and fortune and not having any guidance in how to manage all of that money.

He will get his chance to a fresh start, they both will. Some day, I just may revisit them. But I think it was all tied up neatly at the end.

Is Dean ever going to find out about Lourdes' past sexual abuse?

Author's Response: Yes...and seeds for the future will be sewn at the end.

Title: Chapter 5

Damn! Everybody’s shady up in this piece except Dean and Lourdes a.k.a. bait. You’re rocking this joint Spark.



Author's Response: Thanks JV4ME! I really appreciate that. The original was great, but like the six million dollar man...it had a lot of room for more speech. Thanks for the wonderful review.

Title: Chapter 2

Yes! This is my kind of story, reads like a movie actually. Beautiful pick of he cantina.

I loved Against All Odds back in the day. And Phil Collins was da man!!!!



Author's Response:

That cantina is a local restaurant in my hometown.  AAO was a fabulous movie for the eighties. Phil rocked!

Title: Chapter 1

This is interesting so far; it has major potential. I like the vibe, the flow, setup, plot, the whole nine. The characters’ dialogue read like men: straight to the point, no wavering or extra ‘talk’. (I like that a lot.)



Author's Response: Thanks JV4ME for reading and the good review. Hope you get to finish it! ;-)

Title: the CAST

Unique cast of talented actors, most of which (if any) I’ve ever seen appearances in fic before. Nice job!



Author's Response: Thanks JV4ME. I think there are some very beautiful talented people out there in a world virtually untapped. It may not be the most popular thing to do...but it's often the right one. I get a little bored seeing the same characters and actors. As a reader I feel like I'm reading the same stories. A change up is good. ;-)

Title: Chapter 6

I've read through this point and must say I love it :) I love how you have such a grip on all things pro-football! Oh and the casting is amazing! I can so see Mark in the role of sheisty lawyer and Blair as pimp/gangster/the boss/etc. LOL. I hope to get this finished soon. The sex is hot; their attraction to one another is hot. I love the visuals and love your casting and take on the character of Kat. The whole setup, how she is, how she came to be the ruthless businesswoman she is brought a bit of a smile to my face, though she is pretty cold and heartless now. I love that she tried 'real love' once against the wishes of her parents. This is obviously where Lourdes gets her bull-headedness from. I 'has' to be. LOL. Kat's relationship with Gus is pure sexy; he's basically sprung and again, love your casting with Eric. I hope to catch up with the rest of this soon! Great job! Love the story and the characters and look forward to more. Oh and great job on the banner too! Smile

Author's Response: Thank you madame z for the wonderful review. This story was one of my favorites.  I know Kat is a trip...but it's very important to have 'no use for her' but to know why she is what she is--and it's still ok to hate her...totally allowed! LOL! I thank you for that. Wink

Title: Chapter 8

This is such a beautiful story. Although there is some heartwrenching moments with what Lourdes had to go through with Percy. He was really a sick man.

Author's Response:

Thanks karen,

I have been wanting to write this story for a long time and the movie gave me so much room to tell it. The 80's weren't very expressive with stories that even hinted at abuse. But I found the opportunity. I hope I did it justice. Yes Percy was a very sick man who lived many lives...and likely anyone who met him would have a different story to tell about him.

Title: the CAST

Great cast! Is that ole dude from All My Children? I agree. He was a great villain and I liked him a lot. Much like I liked the actor who portrayed Jonathan. But they never keep the good ones around long. Can't wait to read! Taking this to doctor's office with me.

Author's Response: Thanks! Yep! That be he! Awesome isn't he?

Author's Response: Thanks wwefanforlife, I really appreciate your support with this story. It really needed a voice. And I wanted to make sure that Lourdes got a chance to let her voice be heard...which was so lacking in the original... Cool

Title: Chapter 8

This poor girl. Her horrid past is why she has a hard time trusting people. The people who were suppose to love and protect her never did.

Author's Response: Lourdes has a lot of reasons indeed to flee anyone who makes her promises. Trust is a hard one. Thanks for reading Sweet Pea and for the wonderful review!Wink
