Title: Chapter 7

Faye needs to have her ass kicked and a tongue lashing and that is me final verdict on that bitch. I's good to see that Sasha is finally opening her eyes and realize who her real friends are. Teagan is actually genuine and a real friend to her as well as Ms Dina. Hope Dina's confidence can rub off on her. Dmitri is a pleasant surprise. I take back any bad thing I said about Teagan btw. Please update soon and take care. Thanks for the update I didn't expect one.

Author's Response:

No worries. I actually wanted readers to be unsure about Teagan. Considering what bad friends Jaelynn and Faye were, it wasn't too much of a leap. I'm happy you are enjoying the story. Thank you for your review!

Title: Chapter 7

This was a good chapter.  I am glad that Dimitri understood that this wasn't about sex and I hope they talk about what's bothering her.  I like that you're taking your time and letting them get to know each other better before actually having sex.  Good job!



Author's Response:

Thank you! Yes, I'm really trying to create greater depth to their relationship. Partly because Sasha is a virgin and though she desires Dmitri there is a lot of uncertainty she still feels about herself in the relationship. More talk of that in the next chapter. Thank you for your review!

Title: Cast

I never disliked Dimitri nor do I think that he changed overnight.  I feel that he always had feelings for Sasha from the beginning but she didn't meet his previous 'standards' and so he told himself that she wan't really the one and that it was just physical attraction.  However, if that was the case, then why couldn't he move forward with Teagan?  He admitted that she met his physical criteria and yet he had no desire to sleep with her.  

I think the talk with Slade just made all the pieces of the puzzle come together for him.  He couldn't leave her when he hurt her, and that in itselp perplexed him, but he realized after talking to Slade that there was more there than even he had wanted to admit.

Now he wants to explore that.  He knows she's a virgin and he knows that she wants a serious relationship.  He also knows that he can't live with huriting her so to me that told him to get with the program or leave her alone and leaving Sasha alone was NOT an option since he couldn't stop thinking about her.

So, I don't think it was an about face at all.  I think it was a revelation on his part and being older, he's tired of games.  He wants the real thing.

Good update.  I can't wait until her friends see his looks of adoration toward Sasha.  LOL

 



Author's Response:

Yes, he couldn't sleep with Teagan mostly because all he ever thought about was Sasha. She was the one he wanted from the beginning but because she was so different from his usual type he tried to force something with Teagan but with no success! I'm very happy to see that you have the understanding of Dmitri I was aiming for. Thank you for your review!

Title: Chapter 6

I love that you have Dina in the picture. She seems to be a real friend Sasha could use. Maybe some of Dina's genuine confidence will rub off on her.

I always liked Dmitri because he has been honest with Sasha the whole time. I liked that he realized his feelings for her went beyond lust and only after that realization did he try to pursue more with her.

Write the story how the characters speak to you and I will be here gladly reading.

Thanks for the update!



Author's Response:

Thank you for your support. It has been difficult to write a charcter like Dmitri because some readers really dislike him but others feel the exact opposite. I'm happy to see such emotional ties to the characters though. And I'm really glad your a Dmitri fan! Thank you for your review!

Title: Chapter 6

This chapter kind of confused me, was it a dream of hers that she will wakeup from? I think his attitude changed too fast for me it seems too unrealistic for how he was just a few days ago. I personally like how he was before he was 100% honest about what he likes and is attracted to there is nothing wrong with that just because he is not saying something she wants to hear doesn't make him a bad guy. You have to respect him because he isn't lying. Right now how its going seems like a fanatasy of hers.  One thing I didn't like is how everyone treats her and her easy acceptance of it that concerns me. great update thank you



Author's Response:

No, it wasn't a dream. I understand where youa re coming from. I have re-written chapter 6, specifically Dmitri's dialogue because I felt that it strayed too far from his personality. While his attitude may seem like a dramatic change it actually was a long process and he was sort of at a stalemate. He couldn't stop thinking about her so his only recourse, even though he has a history of avoiding long relationships, was to give it a try. I hope the re-write better explains this. Thank you for your review!

kudos on using such a natural beauty as the lead female.



Author's Response:

Haha. Yes, I prefer my lead females to not be what we are supposed to think is the ideal (e.g. straight hair, light skin, etc.). I find her to be beautiful and i wanted a character who learns how to love herself in the same way. Thank you for your review!

Title: Chapter 6

I never disliked Dmitri, it's just the fact that he was so stereotypical in his attitude toward what he considered beautiful people and what he felt as being worthy of his time and attention. His attraction to Sasha was only physical, he thought. That was until he talked to her and now he knows it is a whole lot more. 



Author's Response:

Yes, now he is starting to realize that Sasha is unlike any other female he has ever been attracted to because it goes way beyond just her looks. He doesn't find her to be ugly in any regard but he does acknowledge the fact that compared to the usual women he had a history of dating, she has a more natural and low-key beauty, which he appreciates. Thank you for your review!

I am glad he has called things off with Teagan, because it is about to getaways. Also, Faye did not have to be so low down to Sasha! But, in the end Faye will get her just desserts! She will be needing Sasha!  Slave, is a looker...it would be nice to have a story for him and his love pursuits.

Title: Chapter 6

I have absolutely no dislike and actually liked him before.  Personally for me it's a bit unusual that he was so quick to change.   He was adamant and most people are not willing to just flip because of sound reasoning of a friend.  This is to fast, too soon.  There has to have been a reason why he was like that.  I was waiting for that to come out a few chapters later while he slowly wormed himself into her life.  

 

Actually I'm surprised people dislike him.  He was up front with her.  He was honest, and maybe if she was a tad bit more introspective she might wonder if he had some issues himself.  The thing with Sasha, even though I like her, is that she is self-pitying.  It's a flaw but we all have flaws...if people don't like him so what really because he's not a hero.  He's a reflection of a man with no ties or tries not to have any. 

As a piece of advice and I am not criticizing you...many fans will be out to help destroy a story because they don't like anything.  While others would prefer to help you grow a story from your base onwards.  I felt the original direction was built for a really lengthy and well rounded story and this chapter derailed a lot of what you intended.  Thanks for including the Dina aspect that I had thought but that is something you could have added anywhere down the line or not at all since it is your story.  

Dmitri appears a bit superficial to me because he's so quick to change, as though he's using this tactic to get into her pants.  While the original route would have made Sasha wary but it would lead to some deeper self-discovery later on.



Author's Response:

Thank you for this review, vaberella! I understand where you are coming from. I have re-written chapter 6 to better show his thought process in choosing to be with Sasha. Yes, Dmitri has a history of avoiding serious relationships. but what makes his situation with Sasha different is that he has an intense desire for her but because he knows her virgin status he would prefer to stay away for fear of hurting her. Unfortunately, this is also impossible for him because he honestly can't stop thinking about her which leads him to the conclusion that it must be more than just lust that he feels. In his thinking, the only way to possibly move on is to try to date her. he is not going in with the intention of definitely marrying her or anything. This is just his only option and as the story progresses, i hope you see that his feelings about the relationship begin to be less about being forced into this situation and more about him really wanting to be with her. My plans for the story have changed many times not only because of the reviews I have received but also because of how I wanted the characters to grow and change. This chapter is the beginning of something different for both of them and is their opportunity to get past their personal issues (Sasha's low self-esteem and Dmitri's commitment phobia). 

I hope you continue to read the story, especially the rewrite of chapter 6 which may better explain Dmitri's though process. He is in no way just using a relationship to get into her pants because he has realized by this point that for one Sasha is too innocent and he does not want to hurt her and secondly, because he is starting to admit to himself there is more than lust between them. He is slowly acknowledging the connection Sasha felt from the beginning. 

But, thank you for your review! Please, keep reading!

Title: Chapter 5

The ride home was expected: casual conversation between acquaintances with the promise of more once they reached their destination but Dmitri went from zero to sixty within the blink of an eye! What the hell man!? His actions were that of a guy who's lowering his standards, and because the recipient is mediocre at best, she should have been more than willing to comply to his…'attention'. Dude was a bit crude with his admission of taste-preference- though he wasn't trying to be heartless, he just didn't handle the situation with finesse. However, Sasha proved she's more than mere flesh to satiate his desires...she's a person with a pulse and depth and certainly more integrity than any trophy who'd ever warmed his bed.

Sasha's abandonment years ago shed light on her wallflower syndrome; it's a plausible explanation as to her lack of confidence and fear of being alone. It isn't pity Dmitri feels for her circumstances– assuming this is true; it's an acknowledgement to the strength she doesn't even realize she possesses.

Though Dmitri's libido and candidness turned the evening into something completely unexpected, his gallant reaction to her plight redeemed his butt by chapter's end, loved that he stayed and comforted Sasha during her meltdown.

Enjoyed the update, can’t wait to see what happens next! J

 



Author's Response:

Reading your review, I felt like throwing my fist in the air and yelling, "women empowerment!" lol Thank you! Despite his flaws, I hope you see that even if he isn't aware of it, his feelings go way beyond lust. Why else would he have stayed, right?

Title: Chapter 4

After  reading the last chapter, I can see where Sacha's low self-esteem stems from. Being abandonned by someone who is supposed to love you, protect you, have your back will do that to someone. I hope being friends with Dina will help her a bit. As I said before, she really needs new friends and the three pigs ain't it. Although Teagan might be the better of the three the dynamics need tp change a bit. Finally I like seeing this new side to Dmitri, and I simply love Slade. Hope everything works out for him and Dina. Keep up the good work and take care.
