Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Yay update!

I really enjoy this story.  The background into Jake was insightful - I already liked him as a character, but even more so now.  I liked that he wasn't a completely straight and narrow cop, even if he was good at it.  Makes even him more real.

I also like the element of bringing tertiary characters to reveal more about the main and secondary characters.  

Looking forward to more! Don't leave us hanging!

Summary:

I’ve been watching him for two weeks now. He’s beautiful, absolutely, undeniably, beautiful. He’s about 6’1, with a hard, but lean and athletic body. His short haircut fits his soft but chiseled features and that smile. Don’t get me started on that smile. Every time I see it, it sends a shiver right down my spine and I almost have to sit down to regain my composure. Then, there are the lips. Those pretty pink lips. They are so alluring that it would make God himself take off a Sunday afternoon just to admire them. I think that’s what I like about him most, his lips.

Summary:

I have always been alone and that was all I knew how to be. My mother and father only showed up on two occasions: my dreams and my nightmares. In my dreams, they were normal people who worked nine-to-five jobs. They were always there when I needed someone to talk to. We lived in a suburban area where all the neighbors watched me grow up. We were average people in my dreams, but in my nightmares, the truth came out. My mother was a city prostitute with a drug addiction. She slept with numerous men; consequently, my father had a name or a face. For all I know, he was just a quick [ rendevous ] to help her habit. I have bounced around from different foster homes, never finding a place that I was truly happy with or that was ever happy with me.

Title: Chapter 2: The Perfect Plan

This story was too adorable! I liked the little twist of Josh pretty much raising the girls - so often, we only get the perspective of the mother as the more involved parent.  Plus, committed father = tres sexy!

I loved the not-as-subtle-as-they-thought planning of Jaleesa and Jessica.  Hee!

I also thought the casting was very inspired! Gabrielle Union is gorgeous, and Greg Vaughan is too fine! I may need to start watching General Hospital, lol.    

Thanks so much, Redbird!



Author's Response:

I am so glad you enjoyed it!!!  Greg Vaughan is definitely Foine!!!  Lucky Spencer tends to be a bit of a jerk though... I love Gabrielle Union she is one of my favorite actresses!

I had thought about making the twins either a boy and a girl or two boys, but boys do not know how to conspire, plot and plan like girls do!!!  LOL!

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Nicely done.  I always thought Lancelot was a bit of coward for leaving the way he did, lol.  So I've little sympathy for his angst - he had the opportunity to be with Gwen, and tossed it aside for faux nobility (in my view, true nobility is stepping aside when it was clear that Gwen reciprocated Arthur's feelings, which Lancelot never bothered to verify).  

Although, I'm not sure Gwen would have been truly happy with him anyway, since he would have been a rebound. 

Thanks for sharing!
