Title: Prologue

Oh, ALSO, I want to say:

I know you want to please your readers. But I also know that you need to write from your own heart and mind. You cannot please everyone. Write Valerie the way you see her as her creator. Her insecurities are apart of who she is. Don't feel like you have to change that simply because others find it "annoying" or off putting.

A part of creating art is to confront people with things in life that challenge their ways of thinking and/or hold a mirror up to their own experiences. Some people can't deal with that.

If Valerie is a mirror for you, or others who may be feeling the way she does, it is far more impactful for you to continue to explore her journey the way that you are rather than to change it to please others. Life doesn't work that way.

So, do you. Let Valerie be who she is and change according to your own plans, not someone elses.

Just my two cents.

Title: Chapter 17

Well, these last two chapters have been amazing. Your writing is all encompasing. I've never been so inside the head of a character as Valerie. It does take some getting used to, but at this point she feels so familiar to me. I recognize this person, and so it's easier for me to go on this journey with her.

Henry is, dare I say it: almost perfect. I fear you have some other part of him locked up, waiting to spring on us that won't be so swoon worthy. You write him perfectly, and I almost wish we could get a chapter from his POV, so that I could know fully what he's thinking.

Anyway, all that to say I am fully invested in these characters, and cannot wait to see what you will put them through next. Apart of me wants this to continue to be blissful for Valerie, because she obviously deserves it. You made me give a damn, and when a writer does that, they have done thier job well.

This is one of the more exciting stories on the site. Also, Valerie really needs to see a therapist about her daddy issues and the thing with her ex boyfriend.

Henry once again put it down lol! I love the chemistry between him & Val. I didn't think she was annoying.  Actually, I think you perfectly captured the vulnerability of your character. Like all your other chapters I loved this one. I'm hoping we see a little more of Val's cocky side in other chapters too lol. I'm looking forward to your next update.

Title: Chapter 6

I was smiling hard on this update.  I am so glad she is letting down her walls they are so cute.  Ella is so funny too and such a tease to her cousin.

Like El said they already got nicknames for each other.  AND HE GAVE HER A HICKEY!!! Oh he so wants to frank her but it is all GREAT!!!!

Title: Chapter 16 FULL

I don't think Val was annoying at all. I think you're writing her insecurities very well and seeing them play out is making Henry all the more loveable. I just fear for when one of them eventually messes up and I kind of hope its Henry because it would be nice to have some insecurity in him or see his pov. I would love it if Val gets some self confidence and learns how awesome she is. I also would love it if she sees that Henry isn't perfect. I can't wait to see what roads you lead us down!

Title: Chapter 16 FULL

Yeah, she was annoying (all she has to do is be consistent on losing the extra weight and toning up--for herself).  Her ex did a real number on her and I wish she could see him and find out why he felt the need to cut her down all the time--what were his inadequacies, everybody has them, even Henry? 

Henry is the man right now; he went after her and defended her.  I hope he is serious and not just sowing oats, but the girl did put the whip-appeal on him, or as my sister like to say 'that come-back stuff'.  Imagine if she really focus on pleasing him sexually:  Henry would still be screaming her name.  He is feeling her, though.

I would love to see Val exorcise the demon called George from her psyche.  Henry is real man who truly cares about you Val.  Thank you for the wonderful update!!

Title: Chapter 16 FULL

I think Henry is perfect for her. He's so intune with her mind,body, and soul which is just what she needs. At first I was thinking give it a rest and enjoy. Then I thought about it and realized she's having normal doubts its sad but she' s really fucked up over George. I still think she's come along way and she's growing more confident without realizing it. Can't forget about the sex! That scene makes me want a Henry for myself lol.

Title: Chapter 5

I am glad that Val is trying she needs to try and it would seem she does not like her profession to much and what I've read about her father it may have just been to satisfy him that she chose that  profession to study in.

I think she would be a great gamer it seems to been in her blood and what she enjoys doing.

Thank you for sharing.

Hot update!!!  A bit surprised at Valerie's insecurities as much encouragement that Henry has been giving her, but I suppose the wounds from her past run deep. I sure hope she can find it within herself to get passed it.

I was so glad to see your update. I hope to see more soon! :0)

 

Happy holidays all!

Title: Chapter 3

Valerie is a true basket cake.  She was getting on my nerves and I wasn't in the car with her.  I can imagine that Ella is fed up to the highest she can be and ready to wash her hands of her but of course she won't cause she loves her cousin and just wants to see her happy.

Title: Chapter 16 FULL

I didn't find Val annoying at all. In acutuality I find her refreshing, I get tired of reading about women who have some sort of insecurity that they use a crutch or for conflict. Yet it all comes across as superficial. But with your writing it's actually fleshed out versus you just telling your reader Val hates her body, we get a peek inside of her mindset. I can see it, I understand it, and it resonates with me.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for understanding my intentions with her character.  I know most will be impatient with her and rightfully so. You understand what I was trying to convey with her. I just hope it doesnt put people off from reading further to understand her journey, but I can understand the readers that may get fed up with her

Title: Prologue

You want to smack her llike in the V8 commwercials.  She shoud get a grip and deal with Henry and forget about George and her body flaws because henry is not paying any attention to what she's stressing over.  If she hates her body so much, she start exercising.   I hope  she overcomes her low self esteem before Henry grpws tired of childish behavior. He's such a seetheart and a hell of a lover.

Title: Chapter 16 PREVIEW

This is one of the best stories I ever read. Honey... That sex scene gave me chills. Seriously I have officially replaced Christiano Ronaldo in my fantasies with Henry Walker. He's a mother f-ing sex god. You have made me fall in love with him. Now ya girl Val makes me wanna smack he sometimes, she needs to realize that she deserves this...that she deserves him. I'm so happy for the both of them, finding someone that stimulates your mind and you sexually is rare. I hope it's all roses for them here on out. Awesome story and I will definitely be looking out for this completed chapter...amazing.

I'm very glad you updated. I was just re-reading the story for maybe the fifth time, when I got to the bottom of the last chapter, I was so excited to see that there was a new one!

Cannot wait to read the rest.

Yes you should publish this story it's really good. At first I really wasn't sure which way the story was going but after this chapter I can see it. All I can say is please don't rush the ending.
