Don't leave me in limbo like this!!!

Aaah! They make so much sense then don't make any sense all at once. I think they have the power to make or break each other had I think it's going to happen both ways pain and pleasure. Henry's so alpha male it's sexy! Valerie's a rare gem and so is Henry. I can't wait till you update!

Good for her I think but if and when he doesn't call again it's going to hurt. What was sad to me is she didn't know he had a place there. Shows you a little disconnect.  I do understand why she is enjoying the moment. ...

I've been reading this story, and haven't reviewed. With this last chapter, I decide to remedy that.

When I first began reading, I was entirely too uncomfortable with Valerie's crippling insecurity. A lot of her feelings and actions, and way of existing in the world reflect my own too closely. When I read, I want to escape. Not be reminded of my own failings. I want to pretend that I am somone else.

But there was something here that kept me reading, and so was utterly delighted once introduced to the character of Henry. He is a a complex puzzle wrapped up in a very appealing package. Your description of him reminds me of the actor Benedict Cumberbatch. Seemingly complex. Oddly beautiful. Intelligent. Charming. Extremely giving, though quite capable of being closed off and secretive. (I don't know the man, this is just guess work)

And the more I read, the less peturbed I am with Valerie.

This last chapter was perfect. Not overly sexual, but still sexy. Getting to Henry's character more deeply so that we could better understand his motives and intentions was just what we as readers needed at this point.

And Valerie is FINALLY starting to trust herself. I cannot wait to see what happens next (though I have a good idea).

Great update.  I think Henry is just scared because he knows that once he has her, he won't be able to let her go.

I love your writing. Their story is one you feel, while you're reading it. There's so  much passion between the characters and you do a great job of having your readers feel the characters emotions. 

Thanks for sharing and I'm REALLY looking forward to more chapters. 

Take Care

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I stated before, i loved this chapter (it was hot!!)

I really feel for Valerie.  I can see how she would be put off by and confused by Henrys actions.  For him to give her one of the best experiences of her life, and then not contact her for a month, and then give her so many mixed messages when they met again?!?  That's enough for anyone's head to spin. I'd be thinking, 'WTF?!?!'

It would be nice to get a view of this chapter from Henry's perspective.

That has to be one of thee sexiest scenes ever.

OMG, your love scenes are sooo damn hot.  I love them, before you updated I would just come back and read the prologue and wondering as I read the story will that be the culmination of their love for each other with both of their insecurities put aside.  It is great that Valerie is becoming stronger and trying new things.  I think it will be interesting from Henry's perspective on how he does with an ever evolving Valerie.  Please keep the updates coming when you can.  Appreciate this story.  It is such a wonderful combination of sweet, innocence, maturity and sexy all in one.

I've stopped reading a couple of chapter in 'cause I was getting majorly annoyed by Valerie: it is one thing ot have a character with insecurities and all, it is another to have her whalowing in self pity over and over and over. Also, the way she behaved at work with her father was so unprofesionnal, childish and immature, it was infuriating. Then I decided to give it another go when I saw the update, and I am glad 'cause I liked how Valerie evolved. She may be finally growing up. I liked the moment she shared with Henry when they discussed their past, loved their intimate moments. About the one month hiatus, I think Val may have overlokked Henry's own insecurities, and how he felt. She was rightfully pissed he did not called her, but I am glad it did not just end up with them yelling and then nothing. She should voice what she feels. Also, did she finally find another job?

Henry better treat val right.  She deserves so much more than he's been giving her lately.  He's so hot and cold and he knows she's insecure and naive about romance, etc.  Hopefully he'll fall hard for her and they'll be happy.  He needs to prove he isn't a player though.  Please let valerie get stronger and more self-confident.  I understand her feelings and she deserves so much love.  great story, update soon please1

Loved it!!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I'm a bit surprised Henry didn't at least text her in a months time, or call when he came into town. What's up with that?
