Well, I'm twenty and I started writing before I knew how to write. I wrote my stories in my mind, and I acted them out with my friends or just by myself. Crazy, I still remember those to this day. Still think about those characters and the places they took me. My second love is Music. And it's only because lyrics do not come easily to me. ^_^ I spend almost every hour of my life with music playing. I'm inspired by it and I would live off of it if I could. I love taking photos and being Crazy. My family, they're a mess, and I love them too. And what else do I love? Interracial relationships, I think they are beautiful to see. And I love the experience of them. And reading about them. Duh right? I love a lot of things. ^_^
♥ So get to know me!
Oh, please, Suzette! If blood does not make two women behave as sisters are supposed to toward one another, then, of course, marriage is not a contender either. And Thaddeus does not like Serena because he does not like her. There is little to like about her, if there is anything at all, from what I can see.
Evidence? Lol. She's on her Chris Hansen game.
I noticed this last chapter and I now feel like like I should say something. “Honey” is repeatedly misspelled as “Huney.” Also apostrophes are missing from words like you're, don't and it's.
As far as Ella goes, she is playing the victim. Her situation is one of being bullied and it will continue if she does nothing to stop it.
Sasha's drug habit and her consequent outburst should confirm for Ella what we already know, those three women will never be her family. Thaddeus seems like a good guy, I just hope there are more layers to him than we have seen thus far. I want to know more about him.

Jonathan Denson isn't what you'd call the life of the party but when he enters a room, he commands attention. The only problem is, the attention he craves isn't the attention he's getting. It's just too bad that the only person he ever truly wanted isn't ready for what he has to offer. Left with no other option, John decides that he's sick of leaving romance up to fate and takes his love life into his own hands.

Huge shout out to KKMonroe, formerly CPM09, for my title. This story would have been called something I wasn't completely satisfied with if not for her genius. Thank you, lovely lady :)
A very sexy cast, I can't wait to see where this story takes tham all.

Sarah, a spunky Southern Belle, always knew she was a lesbian way before she left her small Texas town to go to school in L.A. She meets, Chantal, the love of her life. After dating for a while and coming out to her parents, Sarah invites Chantal to come with her to Texas to meet her parents. Things start out rough, but gets worse as tragedy strikes as a result of the town finding out about Sarah and Chantal’s relationship. Will Sarah be strong enough to face her backwards town?
My first Femslash...be easy on me...
I just wonder why Sarah is not at Chantal's bedside? That's where I would be; angry or not, my girlfriend would be my main focus. At least until I knew, for sure, that she was out of the woods.
Reviewer: TRaberah EH SignedWell, wish I could say I thought better of him. But no. Stupidity grows on trees in their part of town, huh? If it isn't one thing it's another, if it isn't one person... - you're picking up what I'm putting down, I'm sure.
It's a shame that he took it so far. Rape? Really, bro? And then his Father. He's even more of a disgrace. I would never cover for a rapist, family or no family they all deserve to be castrated.
I wonder why Sarah would not be insistent upon accompanying her black/lesbian girlfriend in this part of town, with these people?
I look forward to seeing what happens from here.
Reviewer: TRaberah EH Signed "It's okay. Maybe one day, you'll be able to watch." Chantal said with a wink and Jared smiled. -A joke, right? Pretty please let this be a joke.
"I didn't mess her up...being a lesbian is just as normal as...I don't know...you fucking a horse. If that's the norm here." Chantal knew that insult was not necessary for this dangerous situation, but she couldn't help it. -She couldn't help being stupid? It's this kind of behavior that lands a person in the hospital or worse in real-life moments like these.
~_~
Up until this chapter I actually thought Chantal to be kind of smart. Now I doubt that. And Billy's reaction isn't as much a surprise to me as it is to her. He'd saved her from an inevitable hillbilly beat-down, and possible rape for good measure, and then she mouths off. Instead of, oh, I don't know, being rescued!
W.T.H.
Reviewer: TRaberah EH SignedI would have thought Chantal's skin was thicker than that. In that situation I might have felt used and I would have been peeved, but running out? Never that. I would have let Sarah have her dramatic moment and later on she would have gotten my view on the whole thing, and she would have known from then not to use me to prove a point. So, that confused me a bit.
And I'm wondering, how was Sarah ever in love with a man, if she's always been a Lesbian?
Reviewer: TRaberah EH SignedWhy doesn't Sarah just tell Billy and Jared and whoever else that she's a lesbian straight-up? I mean, dropping hints could lead to them thinking she's just experimenting, instead of what's right in front of 'em. Plus guys are... thick. Chantal is so pretty, and now I know where I knew her from. Scanned the comments and somebody pointed out that Cold Case episode. It's one of my favorites. She is Brilliant. Her parents seem nice enough, but I wonder how they really feel about Chantal and Sarah. It's one thing when you just know your daughter's a Lesbian, it's another thing when it's right there in your face. ^_^ I'm hoping they really are Cool. So, uh, yeah, I'm waiting for more. ♣
Reviewer: TRaberah EH SignedChantal is sexy indeed. I see you, Sarah! ♥
Reviewer: TRaberah EH SignedSo, Chantal is going on down to Texas. Aubrey, Texas. And they just had sex. I guess they have been going out for a while but the sex did throw me off a bit. I haven't been with them for very long (a chapter ~_~). so it just felt a little quick. Maybe a little rushed. But they seem good together. Muddin', that made me laugh out loud. Because I found out that my little brother's best friend is a redneck and he goes mud-digging. Do I even wanna know? My sentiments exactly. Other than asking that you make sure to re-read and build a little more on the scene, I'm totally into this. I'd like to see where these two girls go.
Billy is a super cute piece of pie, I don't know if I mentioned that before. ♥

Life is hard. James knows this for a fact in which she picked a bad time to quit smoking. Working long days as a housekeeper and taking online college classes just adds more stress. With a troubled childhood and a dark past looming over her shoulder, James is untrusting of others therefore lets very few people into her life.
That is until she stumbles -- literally -- into Tristen, a computer software engineer who won't take 'no' for an answer. He's different, kind, and fun. And French. He wants to get to know her, but will her past drive him away like the others and if he does stay, can he endure damage of her skeletons tumbling out of the closet?
Okay, so, I get the feeling that Trigger is interested in Pearl's daughter instead of the woman herself. It's no more than a feeling right now, but I'm going to go with it. Either way, he's a top of the line asshole. Pearl, sadly, isn't much better than him but I want to believe there is a reason for it. Sure, it won't be a good enough reason, no one will, but it would explain some things. Still wouldn't like her, though, lol.
I liked this chapter. Very little Tristen, or her friends but that's OK. We got a bit of background information and that's always a plus. All right, ta-ta.
I think I've listened to one of the Jonas Brothers C.D.s and, I can't lie, though I like some of their stuff, an entire CD of it made my head hurt. 3 Doors Down brought me back to a happy reality.
Author's Response: Ah, I like their earlier songs, but I think the Jonas Brothers are pretty cool. Good influences for the younger generations to look up to.
At the office: I liked what I learned about Tristen, although my dislike for Yvonne was immediate. As it was with Pearl and now Charles. They are both disgusting, and Yvonne embodies incompetence in the work place. Sure she may be smart and she may get things done, but the way she talks may very well be the thing that keeps her from moving up the old corporate ladder.
That uncomfortable and tense meeting with Charles was just that - tense and uncomfortable. And what sort of Mother pushes her daughter into the drug business.
Which Jonas Brothers CD are they referring to?
James seemed to be contradicting herself this chapter. She came off as timid outside the restaurant, waiting for him to open the door for her, yet she seemed to do a 180 later on, asking him his favorite position. Which felt a bit trashy.
I'm on the fence on this one, I'll see what happens next chapter.
There was no particular CD in mind for the Jonas Brothers reference in the chapter. I actually have nothing against the Jonas Brothers, but I wanted to add a bit of humor between the main character and her best friends.
I completely understand where you are coming from with James contradicting herself in chapter two. I guess as I was writing it, the whole sex question scene was meant to be used as an icebreaker between James and Tristen.
Thank you for being honest, it was greatly appreciated. I'll try to correct my mistakes.
I quite like James, my humor resembles hers. A lot of people don't quite get why I laugh when I do either. Or why I find certain things humorous. Oh, well. I like her and her name; females with traditionally male names are a preference of mine. I've got a character called Devyn, I love her to bits. I like Tristen, Quinn and Xander as well, all for different reasons. Xander I knew was gay from jump, don't ask me how. I like this story and I will be reading on.
Something I noticed, though, is that there are quite a few missing words throughout the chapter and there are moments when words are used out of place. Like differently where different should be. If this was done purposely, then my bad. ^_^
Peace.
Realistic story, good. ^_^ There is enough Supernatural and Paranormal out there. I'm looking forward to this, love the characters pictures.
Question: Is that Tyler from Baldwin Hills in your story banner?
Pearl is the definition of what a parent should never be; in a perfect world there would be none like her. Still.
James has been through quite a bit. In the drug game, given to men(?) by her own mother, no less. It is a disturbing way to go through life.
On to her and Tristen. Her moods shifted a lot this chapter, carrying on from the last of course. Are they moving a bit fast I wonder? With him getting her dress up to where her panties were showing on the first, or second, date. You know. I don't know.
As for Melvin, I knew who he was when his name was called. How they got to where they are now, well, I know that will be revealed sooner or later. I wonder, though, are you giving us readers too much information at once? All this to process, because there is a lot of history here, and it is well thought out. However, when there is too much I know I find myself forgetting things. Overall, I enjoyed this.
*Peace
Yes, James was pretty bipolar during this chapter, but she is intoxicated, which plays a huge role in why she switches moods so suddenly and why she revealed some of her past to Tristen. As for the information, I never thought that I was giving too much information at once in this chapter! Please forgive me if I confused you in anyway. There is a lot of information in this chapter, but it is truly a ripple in the ocean at the moment. I just wanted give readers a tiny insight on why James became the way she was and why she hated her mother. There were a few hints there and there in the first three chapters, but I didn't want to drag it along too much.
As for Tristen and James, if I could describe their developing relationship in one or two words it would be fast forward. At this point, they have only met each other three times in total and have been on two dates in which they've known each other for three weeks. I wanted this story to be fast paced even though my updates are as quick as I'd like them to be. They did go to quick in this chapter, but there is a very good reason for that! Thank you for your review and I will definitely take all of your suggestions into consider in my next chapter.

No regrets, just love.
When a family crisis forces Broadway diva Charise Leone back to her hometown in wyoming, she expects it to be the same country hell hole she left 11 years ago. What she gets however is one surprise after another. She was the girl who spent most of her teen years in tears. Who knew she would get a second chance at her teenage dream?
Oh, my lord, those two middle pictures! Each are larger than life, however Daphne's hair is Fierce whereas Tim's cowboy hat will not be bringing sexy back. Ever. Some people just cannot make that look work. Sad. I do so love a man in a hat.
∞PEACE.
Reviewer: TRaberah EH Signed They messed with the wrong woman this time!
FBI agent Subrina Rayelle is on a mission to take down the people that forced her best friend Leesha into prostitution and then beat her to death when she tried to escape.
Refusing to even cry one tear of grief for Leesha until all guilty parties are brought to justice, Subrina sets her sights on Nevada where the crime took place. If only she hadn’t met her soul-mate on this mission – a beloved nephew to the leaders of the suspected prostitution ring and who may also be among the guilty parties himself.
I will definitely have to give that video a look-see. It seems like something that could happen and, damn it, Caesar was right about Bree.
*side-eye* I am the all knowing, I should have been spot-on a chapter ago, lol. Oh, well, even Oz was wrong once in a while. We cannot win them all.
That was really cute, though. All of it, really, from Caesar and Bree's frisky talk over by the fruit to the boys and their watchful Grandma. It was just super cute.
-Peace.
*Big Grin* I'm glad you liked this super cute scene so much. You got me cheesing wide.
Thanks for commenting!
Reviewer: TRaberah EH Signed
Victoria, I really like you, but you are being really dumb. Maybe an arrest will make you see the light of day.
Don’t give me that look, I know you were thinking it, too!
I laugh out loud at Caesar's ramnblings often, he's an amusing guy. Even when he isn't trying. Great.
*Peace.
Vickie gonna see the light alright. It's gonna be GLARING in her face.
Thanks for commenting!
Reviewer: TRaberah EH Signed If the smell is that potent in the room, Caesar, than that air freshener might not make a bit of difference.
I wonder how Aunt Vickie is doing, I also wonder if Avalon saw Bree shimmy down a drainpipe, lol. That would be so funny. Goodness me, that would be brilliant.
That G-string, he's planning on keeping it and - what? -sniffing it every now and again? It would be bad if that was the worse thing that came to my mind, lol. Gutter brain is what I'm guilty of.
-Peace.
It's that potent, but Avalon is too distracted to pay attention to that right now. And yes, that WOULD have been funny if Avalon had caught Subrina doing that. LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!
Yeah, it sounds like you are suffering from a bit of the gutter brain today. LOL!!!!
Thanks for commenting!
Reviewer: TRaberah EH Signed Oh, my! Her behavior was horrible! Subrina, woman, you deserve a definite time-out! Go sit on the stairs. Kicking people in the nuts, that is SO wrong. She could have waited for Avalon to be safely inside or until she left again with Vickie's change of clothes.
She's lucky he doesn't play the game I do, it's an old one called: Slap Me and I'll Slap You Back. It includes hits, kicks ang pinches, lol.
-Peace.
Subrina didn't want to chance it with Avalon. Plus she didn't know how long his mother would be there.
I remember that old game of GET-MY-LICK-BACK. LOL!
Thanks for commenting!
Reviewer: TRaberah EH Signed Oh, goodness, Leesha! My guess is she didn't read those books; not a page, line or first word. Ricky, the snake, has got that girl's nose wide open, she's not thinking straight, and blind to the Fact that he is trouble. Damn. I do not see this going well for our girl, but that much is obvious from the summary. Poor girl.
I really like Subrina, whose name is rather unique by the way, more than glad that she got rid of that extra weight. I cannot wait to meet her family, they seem like an interesting bunch - if a little low at times. This story is definitely one I can sink my teeth into. Yay.
Peace.
Welcome aboard, TRaberah EH! I'm so glad you decided to join us. Thrilled that you're enjoying yourself thus far.
The name Subrina was gifted to this character by one of my longtime readers who bears the same name. The REAL Subrina is the one that encouraged me to write a story with a plus-sized heroine.
Thanks for commenting!
Reviewer: TRaberah EH Signed Hah, her little sisters are hilarious for all the wrong reasons. I am loving it. Ricky has got Leesha wrapped tightly around his littlest finger, the shame. And how do you get engaged and not tell your best friend? Of course, this is just the latest stunt in a long line of Leesha's stunts that I cannot understand. A man, or a woman, is not worth sacrificing every other aspect of your life to have or keep.
Wow.
I love Subrina taking off her belt, I got a kick out of that moment.
*Peace.
You're moving right along in your reading, TRaberah. At the rate you're going, you'll be caught up with the rest of us in no time.
Thanks for commenting!
P.S. I so agree with your statement about folks not worth sacrificing every other aspect of your life to have or keep. So true.
Reviewer: TRaberah EH Signed Poor Leesha. And, yes, that man-crazy mentality came across loud and clear in this chapter. I feel for Subrina, that intuition is unsettling, but there really isn't a thing she can do. Which is really the worst bit of all, right. Not being able to do a damn thing for the people you care most for. It sucks, especially when you know the road their traveling is no good at all.
Well, I'm loving this. Obviously, right.
*Peace.
I feel your frustration on the issue of not being able to save our loved ones from themselves. Been there, done that. :(
On a more positive note, thanks for loving the story and for taking the time to let me know!
Reviewer: TRaberah EH Signed I know that's right, Subrina, eating when your emotions are doing up-downs is a definite no-no. I love the sign on her door, it's brilliant. Her Mother is a trip, saying and doing most everything wrong with the best intentions. Which the road to hell, as we all know, is paved with. Goodness, I am enjoying this wild ride. I cannot wait to see what happens after Leesha and Ricky are married.
*Peace.
The opposite happens to me. When I'm upset, I LOSE my appetite. I have to make myself eat. That's not good either.
Thanks for commenting!
P.S. Don't hold your breath on that Leesha and Ricky wedding.
