Big Girls Won't Cry by Suprina Frazier
Rated: 17 and older
starstarstarstarstar
[Reviews - 923]
Summary:

They messed with the wrong woman this time!

FBI agent Subrina Rayelle is on a mission to take down the people that forced her best friend Leesha into prostitution and then beat her to death when she tried to escape.

Refusing to even cry one tear of grief for Leesha until all guilty parties are brought to justice, Subrina sets her sights on Nevada where the crime took place. If only she hadn’t met her soul-mate on this mission – a beloved nephew to the leaders of the suspected prostitution ring and who may also be among the guilty parties himself.

Title: Chapter 1: Main Cast

I am so in love with this story!!  I don't get to come here as often as I would like, so I love having several chapters to catch up on!!

I didn't like Ceasar for a while, so I am glad that you are redeeming him for me!  LOL...

I LOVE Avalon!  She is my favorite character!  I am so glad she is helping Subrina out!  I can't for the life of me understand why everyone else knows what is going on at the ranch but Avalon's sister seems clueless...SMH.  

The danceoff had me rolling!  I could easily picture the men battling against the women!  LOL

Oh and I laughed out loud at Subrina knocking poor Sun-Hee on her butt!! I am glad she wasn't too hurt or offended over the incident!  

I CANNOT wait for Subrina to bring down Ricky's smugh behind!  Blaine too...they are both slime!

Loving the story!  You are doing an awesome job with it!

I'm thrilled that you're enjoying the story so much. That warms my heart. I'm also glad that you're starting to like C now. He's really a good guy, but a might misguided and childish at times. No worries on him. He'll get his stuff together eventually.

As for that dance-off scene, I laughed out loud as I wrote it. Also at the part where Sun-Hee went down for the count. tee-hee. Too funny!

Thanks for the compliment and the comment. Stop by as often as you can.

Still loving the story!!  I see Ricky has another butt whooping coming to him!  He so deserves it!

I LOVE Subrina!  I love that instead of overreacting and acting a fool, she went up and laid claim to her man in front of all the tricks in the room!

I am sooo loving Ceasar as well.  I already feel for him when he finds out she is FBI.  Hopefully they can work past the deception.

Still loving the story!!!  :D

LOVE LOVE LOVE the way Ceaser loves Subrina...I know I have already said that but it bears repeating!

I am hoping that the love they have for each other will withstand the lies that she told!

Awesome update!  Can't wait for the next one!



Author's Response:

tee-hee. I'm glad you love Caesar's actions so much. I do too.

AWWW they are adorable!  I loved it!  I am so happy that Avalon is going to find love out of this as well!!  :D

Title: Chapter 179: Chapter 79.2

Go Subrina!!  She laid the smack on Mrs. Rokeni!!  LOL

As usual I am loving this story!  I am glad to see that Ricky is finally coming to his senses.  It is a shame that he had to become HIV positive before he could get his life together.

Wow...just when you think there is no where left for Blaine to sink he comes up with something new... SMH

I also love the romance blooming between Avalon and Burt!  :)  I was disappointed in her that she would throw Subrina under the bus so easily.  I do recognize that Vickie is Avalon's sister and I can appreciate that they feel some glimmer of grattitude to Blaine for protecting Vickie from her father, but it was just strange to me how quickly she blew off everything Subrina was working towards.

Also hope that Subrina realizes that getting pregnant intentionally is not going to help her cause with Ceasar once he finds out she lied to him.  Hopefully she will also come to her senses soon!

I am loving this story and do not mind the length at all!!

Can't wait for the next update!

 



Author's Response:

Subrina don't play. lol.

And yes, it is a shame that Ricky needed this major wake-up call before he got his stuff together.

Blaine just a snake, so expect him to always seeking the low road.

Avalon was torn about taking the side of her sister over Subrina's mission. But that goes to show you how much she HATED their father. No worries. I'll snap some sense back in Avalon soon enough.

Thanks for commenting!

P.S. Special THANKS for commenting on the length of the story. I really needed that boost of encouragement today. Got a bad review from an impatient reader that complained about that very thing in another story. I think she expected that tale to be a quick read like most other romance novels. If she knew my writing style, she would have seen that I like to take my time on character development. All in all, I realize that some readers will get what I'm tryna do, exercise patience, and hopefully discover that the length was worth the wait. Others won't.

Thanks again!

Title: Chapter 189: Chapter 85.1

Oh wow...man.  I am not upset with Ceasar because he is under the working knowledge that Bree is who she says she is and that this is the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

Subrina on the other hand, knows that she has been keeping secrets from Ceasar, and she knows that they are secrets that are going to make it hard for him to forgive her once he finds out.  

This story gets more and more exciting with each chapter!! :)



Author's Response:

Redbird, I'm thrilled that you're still enjoying the story so avidly at this point. It's been a long journey. But hopefully everyone will find it worth the ride. :)

Title: Chapter 206: Chapter 92.4

Wooooowwwww...so much has happened since the last time I was able to read!

I have no idea how you did it, but you actually made me feel bad for Ricky.  I loved that he made sure his mama was cared for and that he owned up to what he did to Leesha before he lost consciousness.  I was sad to see that Ms. Vickie did not make it, but at least she and Ricky made peace with each other before she passed away.

I knew Ceasar was going to be pissed off, and he did not disappoint.  My goodness...I hope he can learn to let go and forgive Subrina so they can try and work at a reconcilliation!

I love Avalon and Burt!!!  They are such an adorable couple!  Thank you so much for allowing her to finally find someone who could love her the way she needs to be loved!

I was also excited to see that Leesha was awake...and WOW you definitely have a hottie for her!  LOL...I was thinking earlier that he seemed to be a little too concerned over her case!!  :)

I am sad to see this story is drawing to a close, you have done a WONDERFUL job with this story!  :)

 



Author's Response:

Thanks for the compliment. I also appreciate your feedback about Ricky. It helps to know that I was successful in redeeming him to the point where somebody, ANYBODY felt sorry for him. As for Leesha, I had to give her another chance at love. She deserved it after all she's been through.

Thanks for commenting!

Title: Chapter 210: Epilogue

Awww...this is so bittersweet for me.  I absolutely love this story but I am sooo sad to see it end! 

I loved that you gave closure for all of the characters, and I was glad that most of the characters got their HEA! 

Was not suprised that Blaine took himself out, there was no way he was going to allow himself to be in a situation he couldn't control.  Most definitely not for the rest of his life.

I am glad that Binky and Ricky were able to work things out and fall in love!  I love what you did with his character the most.  To have us all hate him so much and then to redeem him bit by bit throughout the story was a stroke of genius and a testament to what a brilliant writer you are!

I also loved the theme of forgiveness in this story! 

It goes without saying that I was happy to see Ceasar and Subrina work things out in the end!  My favorite couple was still Burt and Avalon!  They were so adorable!  :)

Okay...I'm done gushing now!  This was one of my favorite stories on this board!  Thank you for taking the time to share this wonderful story with us!  You have me thinking of blowing off the dust on a story I started here and seeing if I can finish it!!

Good luck with tax season, I am sure you are swamped this weekend!



Author's Response:

Girrrrrrrrl, your comment touched my heart so much that I had to share it with others. I even posted an excerpt of it on FB. I hope you don't mind. Thanks sooooo much for reading along with us and for giving me such valuable feedback.

And by all means, PLEASE, pretty please with sugar on top, finish that story you wrote. I'd love to read it. Thanks again!
