Very exciting the combination with the pictures!
I'm looking forward!

Hope you enjoy:) The pictures are fabulous!

I enjoyed it immensely!
First I was a bit concerned that it could be a story of Johnny and Nicole, but the focus is always on Bodie and Doyle - and so the end didn't break my heart... I think it's realistic and melancholic at the same time-
Some very good moments with Bodie and Johnny.
A great story!
(When you write your next story you should trip your artist up so that she can't run away...! ;-))

I’m really glad you liked it:) It was a joy to write about the lads and bring in some other, what I hoped would be interesting, characters for them to sort of bounce off. And yes, I felt it had to end the way it did - realistic if sad. Thanks for reading and thanks for your lovely comments:)

You bet! I’m thinking of tying her to a chair with her art materials gathered around her so she can’t escape*g*

I'm always happy when there are strong "minor" characters in a Pros story!

Good plan! ;-)

I love the manga style pictures. They really fit the story so well. And the story - so much action and so sweet. Great stuff.

The pcitures are perfect for the story! I do enjoy giving the lads some nice action;) Glad you liked it and thanks for reading:)

A memorable story, with memorable art. . . great combination !!! Thanks.

[margaret-r.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for reading:) And who could not love those pictures!

Wonderful story. The characterization, of all characters, was well done. The research you'd done was evident. Well written.

[margaret-r.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you read and enjoyed it:)

Loved this! It's not often that I end up caring as much for the OCs as I do the regular characters, but I did here. You did a wonderful job of creating two new and exciting characters to play off the lads. And since I've written a story set in South Africa, I actually knew what they were saying! *g*

A wonderful story that fits with the equally wonderful artwork.

[margaret-r.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I’m very glad you enjoyed the story and the characters:) Interesting that you’ve also had a South African ‘connection’. I was hoping most of the Afrikaans expressions/words were fairly obvious but it’s good to know someone else understood the meanings*g*

And yes, the artwork is brilliant isn't it:)

Fantastic story. I enjoyed this a lot :)
