Great update. I love Janelle, she is so funny and blunt.
Christian is winning so many points, especially at the end with the music box with the black lily.
Author's Response: Thank you Sweet Pea! Jenelle is hilarious I enjoy writing her. And I have a crush on Christian can't you tell hahaha, the music box move would've definitely had me on lock but let's see if it works for Audre. Reviewer: Sweet Pea Signed

Loved the update. Christian is hot and is obviously into Audre. Audre is working my nerves a bit with the "he's not my type" line because the dude is an artist that can tatoo. He's obviously smart, has all his teeth, fine and tall. (I love me some tall men). After the disaster she just went through with her "type" you'd think she'd be dying to try something different.
Anyhooos...I liked it. Can you tell?
Author's Response:
You know you're absolutely right. A lot of this story is based around conversations between me and my friends where we all go back forth with this whole idea. On one hand you have to be open to finding love in different places and not so quick to judge a book by it's cover or blow someone off because they don't fit your ideal. On the other hand, is it wrong to have ideals for yourself. There are many women out there who don't settle for anything less than what they want and have no regrets for sticking to their guns. This is part of why Audre has two friends that are going to be on the opposite end of the spectrum on this issue. The character of Lisa is an example of someone who had that list, got the guy and is happy, she's not going to be a big Christian fan. Than you have Jenelle who's pushing for Audre to go for it and not be so locked inside her box. She'll have this tug of war going on with her friends and within herself that she will have to deal with or lose Christian.
Anyways that was longwinded as hell so I'll just say thanks for the review, and for reading and the stars you rock!

Ooo la la! If I was Audre, I'd take an economy pack of condoms just in case.
Love Janelle and her words of wisdom!
Audre, let it go and let it flow.
Great update, GreatO!
Author's Response: Well it's always good to come prepared I'd say. But don't be too disappointed if Audre isn't flowing quite yet! Thanks for the review and stars. Reviewer: lovemboth Anonymous

I love how the relationship is unfolding between Audre and Christian. I am so rooting for these two. I am excited to see how he brings Audre out of her shell and routine. Jenelle is just the type of friend Audre needs. Great update...can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thanks Harlen!I'm rooting for them too, and I think they'll both be good for each other. Thanks for reading and the review!

Great Update! I'm really loving Christian and his don't give a sh*t about other's opinions attitude. Janelle is funny and insightful.... I loved her for this:
"Look, he's not my type. You know my type. You know he's not my type. So get off my back!"
"Audre, sweetie, you know I love you right?"
"I guess."
"Then you know I'm saying this out of love. Your type don't seem be working. Maybe it's time to try something else." Audre looked at her indignantly.
A true testament from a real friend.
Can't wait to see what happens at dinner and I have to add that I'm so happy the found art wasn't Christian's! :)
Author's Response: Yeah Jenelle's the type of friend I think we all should have! And I'm having so much fun with Christian who doesn't love the bad boy with the heart of gold hahaha. Christian doesn't do found art (thank GOD hahaha), and I know that you are very artistic you've mentioned before so hopefully you'll like some of the chapters I have coming up which will delve into his and Audre's art connection a bit more.

Another great chapter!
So glad Audre got called out like that, she needs to take a longer look at her assumptions I think. Of course, I can say that because I'm not a character in a story, I probably would have done the same thing in her position.
Can't wait to see more of Christian, love his banter with Audre. And Jenelle is cute, I like that girl. :)
Author's Response: Yeah Audre's pretty quick with the assumptions, I think sometimes we all can do that from time to time. I adore Jenelle as well she's definitely that friend that everyone needs that has your back but isn't afraid to give you a kick in the butt when you need it. And you will be seeing plenty of Christian trust me! Reviewer: TokenBlackGirl Signed
