Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14

Great update!

Grant sure has been changing, for the better, since meeting Kenya. It's amazing what a little honest, pure living and a good woman can do for a man.

Making the decision to adopt Nathan is HUGE... and difficult as ever. Grant will need much guidance and support to be the good parent he has just committed to being.

Wow! Reporters can be like locusts. I also smell a rat... named Melissa who will rue the day.

Thanks for the update. Keep them coming.



Author's Response: Thank you for the review. Im glad you enjoyed the update.

Damn! Don't you just hate people with bad timing?

So, there is a mutual attraction going on. Grant just wants to get laid, as usual. I'm sure that isn't all Kenya wants. Plus, he's her boss. She needs to stay away from him and developing anything personal... at least for now.

I'm enjoying this story a lot. 



Author's Response: Glad you like it! thanks for the review!

Yikes! That was ugly!!

Should have known that Melissa was a gold-digger. Grant is a sneaky one, bu so is Melissa. I'm sure we haven't heard the last of her.

With Melissa out of the way, is Kenya Grant's next target??

An old fashioned date! How sweet!

If they can't stay away from each other they should at least get to know each other first.

Oh, gosh. No run in with Melissa can be good. A run in with a jealous, drunk Melissa will be ugly.

Things are about to get really, really interesting.

What a birthday. Grace is sooo not a football fan, she hasn't a clue who she married. Wait 'til she finds out... and discovers his motive for wanting to remain married!!

Can't wait to read the next chapter!!!



Author's Response:

Glad you like it, hopefully she can see past it, and if not Kevin will have to do everything in his power to make her see the good in him.

Hi!!!

I'm enjoying your story.

Oh, hell! Just when a drunken mistake was turning into a "good thing." I hope Grace takes it in stride. And who is the woman? Another gold djgger who thought she lost her chance at snagging Kevin?

The plot thickens.

Looking forward to reading more.

Thanks for the update!!

Love this story. Why oh why do women insist on scheming and conniving to catch a man who does not want them?

Sara versus Grace for Kevin will be interesting.



Author's Response: lol, thanks for the review. Dont forget Rina she will be after Kevin for more than child support.

Title: Chapter 1: Short Story

So, sometimes I read late at nigh when I have the place to myself... finally. I just realized that I read this on TST. Since hanging out over here more recently, I think it only fair to comment here too.

I loved this story. What a sacrifice. However, considering that they met independently, I wouldn't have stayed apart, especially after the true parentage was revealed. They weren't blood relatives or steps previously, which indeed would have been a little creepy.

I believe the relationship may have worked out. I'm glad daddy/uncle Kenny still had a major role in Kendra's life.

Another moral of the story could be that your one true love sometimes cannot be ignored, no matter the circumstance.

I'm looking forward to reading more of your work!



Author's Response: Thanks for taking the time to comment again on this blog.  I didn't know how many TST members were also members here like you and I. Had I known, I might not have posted it twice. lol. Also thanks for reposting that great moral addition.

Summary:

Willing to do whatever it takes to finish college and help her family out of poverty, Aurelia Bunting does the very thing that she hates – she becomes an exotic dancer/stripper. On top of that, her steady boyfriend just cheated on her with her best friend and she has a large tuition bill due.

Fresh from a breakup, too, Professor Baron Weaver is not so deep in grief to overlook the beautiful Virgin Island native that attends his brother’s bachelor’s party. There’s something about her that’s just so…so delectably unforgettable.

Since anonymity is crucial at events like these, Aurelia has no idea that the man she’s dancing for is going to be one of her new professors this year. If either of them had known, they would have never even considered finding comfort in each other’s arms that fateful night.

Title: Chapter 1: Prologue

So far, so good. Apparently Cain wasn't as sneaky, cleaver, much less smart enough to engage in some guilt and worry free cheating. Good ridance. I like Aurelia's pride, ambition and spunk.

I'm liking this story so far. Thanks for sharing.



Author's Response: Yes, Cain was a bit slow up top. I agree, good riddance to him. As for Aurelia, that's my girl.

Title: Chapter 7: Letter To Readers

Hi and welcome!

I enjoyed the story and the lessons or morals learned by each situation. I believe Aurelia got hers too.

I was all prepared to read about Aurelia and Baron's attempts to weave and waltz their way out of an awkward and even more inappropriate situation than their night together when I read "The End."

I know that some endings are best left alone and conclusions left to the imaginations of the reader, but this story begged a continuation.

I will check it out.

Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to read more of your work.



Author's Response: Bluegardenia, your words echoed exactly what other readers said. Sooo...that's why I expanded the story. The more I started fleshing it out, the more excited I became about Baron and Aurelia's storyline. Pretty soon, I was cranking out the pages with a perpetual grin on my face. The storyline still brings me joy even today. Thanks for commenting.

Whew!! All caught up!!

What a nice story of opposites attracting!!

As far as couples go, Mackenzie and Scott seem mis-matched on the surface. However, they not only sizzle but seem to compliment and add new dimensions to each other.

For a minute I wondered if they were going to let public (office) opinion temper their budding relationship... or the awkward family meetings. I'm glad they didn't.

I can't wait to read more about their visit with MacKenzie's family.

Mackenzie and Scott are so cute together. I think of Scott everytime I see this actor on Criminal Minds. <SMILE>

I think they do love each other. If Scott loosens up a bit, he'll be fine with Jared and whoever shows for Turkey Day.

I'm starting to suspect some secret crush thing with Jared. But you snooze, you loose. He makes a better menacing big brother-figure.

Thanks for the update!!!

Love all the male bonding. Christopher is finally making his move. So is Carmine. It is really interesting to see the difference between their styles.

Dorian is so eager to save his own miserable hide, he can't smell a set up. At least he's hesitated a little before agreeing to use his sister as bait for a lunatic. Ramon will probably still kill him anyway.

Great update.

Summary:

Always the odd woman out, Keisha Barrett, for once wanted to be the woman on the arm of the man of every woman's dreams.  Who knew a lunch date with her girlfriends could hold the answer to her dreams.

Ethan Carrington, British international businessman and confirmed bachelor, was tired of the lifestyle he had been living. Expensive cars, trendy night clubs, leggy models/actresses, and gold diggers were the norm until the day her meet her...

Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6

Congratulations on the new nephew! Glad you're back safely.

I like Keisha and Ethan. I'm glad they are taking things slowly. He seems to really like her and want to get to know her as a person. I hope Andrew's "flavor of the month" crack was just that... a tired old cheap crack. 

Hmm... I hate trials by fire, like a family BBQ rehersal dinner. Then again, Ethan did kiss Keisha in a crowded restaurant in front of a room full of strangers and her best girl friends... and they were strangers too. So, I guess he can handle himself with a whole bunch of Barretts and other family and friends. I'm anxious to see their reactions to Ethan. And how the shy, reserved Keisha holds up under that level of attention and possible scrutiny.

I like reading this sweet romantic tale. Keep posting, I'll keep reading.

Welcome!!!

Congratulations on posting your first story!!

I like Ethan already. I can't wait to see how he is going to improvise his move to rescue Keisha. What a guy!

I suspect Brandi will attempt to knock Keisha down and step across her back to get to Ethan herself. There was just something catty about her little digs.

Great start. Please update soon. I can't wait to read more.

Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Damn! Now THAT'S a pick up line!!!

Ethan is soooo smooooth. Keisha needs to steady her heart, un-fog her brain and go with the flow.

As Ethan has already astutely realized, this will separate the real best friends forever and the so-called friends who will sleep with you man behind your back. Having never been in this position before, Brandi's true colors and loyalties will reveal themselves eventually.

I love how this story has started, I can't wait to see how it develops. Great job!!!

Keisha and Ethan are cute together. Ethan is very perceptive, for a man, and has already picked up on Keisha's insecurities about her looks. I like that he is very gentle and subtle in encouraging or proding her along.

I can't wait to read more about them.

And congratulations to you and your daughter on a great weekend of soccer.

Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 - The Date

Thank you, thank you for the Christmas update!!! I love this story!!!

Keisha And Ethan are really sweet together. Ethan is obviously a man of action. He doesn't sit and talk about himself or write big checks. He gets out there and acts according to his generous heart. He is as down to earth as he is sophisticated... without all the b.s. and pretense.

Keisha seems to have been waiting a long time for someone exactly like him. She is as smitten, too. They seem very compatible together.

They should get to know each other really well before they start meeting family, etc. I can guess that just as Ethan that quickly sized up Keisha's friend, Brandi, Keisha may soon enough find out that there are people who wish you to do well but not too well and certainly not better than them.

Congratulations on the expected new arrival and addition to the family!!! My only brother's b. day is the 28th, his daughter the 29th. Have a great trip and visit, auntie. ;)

Looking forward to an update when you return.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

WOW!

You've been busy!!

Congratulations on the promotion, your daughter's soccer scholarship, 4th grade (I have soon-to-be 3rd grader myself) and especially congratulations on the new baby.

Welcome back!! I hope that you can  find time to continue this story. I look forward to reading more about Keisha and Ethan.

I'm glad that Ethan is such a cool guy and that he is honestly interested in Keisha. So, we all know that Brandi will indeed be too green with envy to see straight and across the pond, Penny will be seething with anger and revenge when she finally finds out who Ethan dumped her for. Andrew will need back up keeping the hellcats off his buddy's and Keisha's backs. Think Keisha's little brother is up to the job??

Can't wait to read more!!!
