Summary:

Lia Mariani and Dominic MacCleod were two up and coming leading actors who'd met on set and immediately struck up a friendship.  As the friendship blossomed, they both realized they'd fallen in love with each other.  They were just two chickenshit to admit it because of the differences in their races and his families outdated ideas about black people.  HER parents were afraid of their daughter getting hurt if Dominic decided to bow to the pressure of his families disdain for Lia.  

And hiding in the shadows is a man obsessed with possessing Lia.  Will these outside forces bond them together or tear them apart?

This chapter was kind of watery and rushed. One minute she's petrified another all is forgotten and she’s ready to bone. Why didn’t she tell him in that moment about the jeweler that died and this?

Author's Response:

Hi SunnySideDown,

Thank You for the review! Any comments and qusestions are always more then welcomed.

Thank you for that, I try to make all my scenes as vivid as possible because I want the readers to mentally create a picture of what the character's are observing, touching, or feeling as much as possible through the words across the pages.

Summary:

Working as a Home Health Aide and struggling to make ends meet. All Aries Washington wanted to do was prove the child she had three years ago, was in fact the son of Cameron Marino. She didn't have any delusions about them putting their differences aside and falling madly in love. Why would she? Cameron was engaged to her ex best friend Ambrosia, A.K.A Ms. Perfect. So imagine her surprise when he not only demands she moves in with him, but marry him too.

Aries had no idea that once she gave birth to her own little Marino, that, that meant she automatically belonged to the whole Marino family. With a group of people who take their strong family ties seriously, she's about to find out that once your in, there's no out.

in my eyes Cameron is just as bad as ambrosia.  he was spineless and knew how she treated Aries but just shrugged it off. I'm irritated that he acts like her taking jaden and running was surprising and I'm curious to see if he'll be confronted about it and knocked down a peg. Can't wait to read more.

Title: The Untitled Girl

Are you setting this in america,? Because that would seem odd. I lived in the UK during my high school years and the speak seems in place but doesn't match the setting. And it's also very reminiscent of My Mad Fat Diary minus the self mutilation. I like the story don't get me wrong. But I hate when writes try to force an American setting with non American tone.

Title: The Untitled Girl

I just started reading this right before it was taken down for publication. Sad for me but congratulations awesome for you. I like what I read even when I was wincing from her embarrassingly painful moments.I plan on buying your story. Without a doubt. But  I read spots that said they were in the US when clearly they weren't. It seemed forced with non American speak and lingo. I hope it's been changed. You don't have to make it American to appeal to American readers. Unless it was explained away in last chapters. I look forward to purchasing.



Author's Response:

Your criticism has been taken into consideration and I do hope you enjoy reading the rest of story.

I prefer the other chapter. This one was pretty cliché with her getting unreasonably angry from her antagonizer's claim. The other chapter had "meat" this one was just the usual.

Ethan West has never been one to control his wolf, he let his instincts rule and they never failed him. Until his wolf insisted on marking Mia Kane as his mate. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if Mia wasn't a human. Ethan despised humans and taking one as a mate was the last thing he wanted to do.

Mia Kane should be living her best life, her music career took off, she won a Grammy for best new artist and she was selling out arenas all over the world. Life was perfect except for the fact that she tragically lost her family in an accident the night of the awards show. When the whirlwind was over her best friend and manager Elizabeth Jones forces her to take some down time at her parent's bed and breakfast. When Ethan shifts and bites her, her life takes an unexpected turn for the worst.

SunnySideDown thnx you for the review.  To assist me in my writing I ask if your observation refers to this chapter only or to the entire story?  If it applies only to this chapter will you help me by pointing out if it is any one conversation in the chapter or the entire chapter?  I know that may take time for you to reply but it really will help me to refine my writing.  I thnx you in advance. If you can't reply I thnx you anyway for taking the time to read my story.
