Amazing update!  I love the way you allowed us to experience everyone's emotions.  From Chloe and Zhay's joy in getting her ready for her date with Dax, to the tense, anxious moments everyone was feeling waiting for word that Dax was pulled from the building alive!

I can't wait to find out why his family dislikes her so much though...

Awesome JOB!!

Title: Chapter 27: Taking Charge

Oooh I can't wait for Phil to get hers!  Girlfriend knows she is being Triffling!

I dislike Somara more and more with each passing chapter.  I have to agree with Sophia, her life must be really pathetic if she is going through all of this to try and control her daughters life!

Title: Chapter 26: I Doubt It

Wow...I spent all day reading all 26 chapters and this story is off the chain!

Man, with a mama like Somora who needs enemies, I don't know who is crazier, her mama or Ricky!!  Talk about delusional!

I was just as hurt and disappointed in Phil as her girls were, I cannot believe she would hurt Dave like that.  If she doesn't want him then she needs to let him go...she is fould to play him like that!

I can't wait to see what happens next.  Sturgis seems like it is going to be explosive!!

I have missed this story and have loved the updates!!

Maaannn I can't wait to see what Ana's dad has in store for Somara...divorcing her would be too simple...she needs to suffer the way she is making her own child suffer!

Mark is dumb as hell!  I can't believe that he fell for Sophia's lies... RME.

And Phil got what she deserves to be alone!  How stupid was she to think she could have both men and not get caught??

I am so glad to see this story is back!

Title: Chapter 1: Meet The Cast

Phil redeemed herself a little in this chapter!  I am glad that even though they are mad at each other she was still looking out for Ana.  And I am glad she called Mark on his hypocritcal BS.  That boy is a straight moron right now.  Hopefully he will pull his head out of his self righteous butt and get a clue before he completely ruins things with Ana.

And please tell me when Ana's mom gets hers that it is GOOD!!

Thanks for the update!!  :)

Summary:

Photobucket

Jonathan Denson isn't what you'd call the life of the party but when he enters a room, he commands attention. The only problem is, the attention he craves isn't the attention he's getting. It's just too bad that the only person he ever truly wanted isn't ready for what he has to offer. Left with no other option, John decides that he's sick of leaving romance up to fate and takes his love life into his own hands.

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.

You are on a roll with this story!  I love love love having so many chapters to read!!

I am glad that Subrina was able to help Suge and Neelam out!  That is jacked up that Blaine would not only make Suge pay back the $12K in gifts that he gave her, but that he would torch her houseas well (I am sure it was him).  I think Bree needs to keep her guard up where Blaine and Mercedes are concerned.  They both have her on their hit list!

I am loving Ceasar more and more with each chapter, but part of me feels bad for the heartache you know is coming once he finds out who she really is...  :(

Can't wait to read more updates soon!
