I started reading your stuff that day when I was looking for Jonathan Toews stories... Those were good. But this was REALLY GOOD. Easily my favorite thing by you that I've read so far. I don't wanna say too many good things about the pens right now since I'm a bruins fan but... James was adorable. Jordan's character, however, was perfection. Much sweeter than I've seen him in other stories. I loved him. Really this was just awesome. Can't wait to start reading more of your writing. :)
Loved it, as usual! :) This one was really sweet. Loved the phone conversation with her dad, that was really cute, he had known all along. Can't wait to see what's next. I'm like a kid in a candy store!!! :)
I have to go to class so I don't have time to read the epilogue right now. I just wanted to let you know that I loved this story. It was amazing. Chapter ten was my favorite. I loved that they finally got together, the phone call to her father, the meet in the middle with the kiss bit. All of it really. I've been saving a few lines as I read and I'm gonna post them. Not sure why, just feels necessary. :)
my body ached to be held, supported, absorbed. ---don't i know that feeling. never been able to put it in words though. nicely done!
“Ass-less chaps, dude. They’re standard in Texas." LOL for a quiet one, he is kind of hilarious at times.
Heaven to the eyes - half-naked professional athletes everywhere, breathing hard and glistening. Hell to the nose - if gym socks took a shit, that shit would smell like a locker room full of gear. ---i think i might tweet the gym socks bit later. yeah it was that good!
“And he must have thought I had ruined you for all other men. Because I would.” “If you fuck up, I’m taking her home. My home. And I’ll make sure she doesn’t even remember your name.” I’m pretty sure his DNA is so potent that’s enough to get me pregnant ----freaking jordan staal. gahhhh. need me some of that. ;)
Jason Aldean’s “My Kind of Party.” ----very nice choice
One thing I definitely had in common with a lot of my teammates wherever I’d played was a love for country music. ---this is so true. why do hockey players tend to love country music? weird. but understandable.
I’d seen girls ditch TK for Geno, Geno for Staal, Staal for Letang, Letang for Crosby. No one ever ditched Crosby - they were easy but not stupid. ----this made me laugh really hard. but personally, i'd never trade Geno for anybody. Except maybe patsy kane or skinner...but that depends on a lot of things. lol Crosby does seem nice though. i wouldnt mind some of that.
We could have any kind of kiss any time we wanted. That was epic. ---one of my favorite lines. i want some of this too. :(
This was an adorable short story. I want to throw up at how unbelievably cute this was. Gross lol. It was beautifully written though, and I can see this being the best chick flick ever. Something to consider; just saying...haha. However, I have to say you haven't quite made me into a Neal fan just yet. I think this story was a little less character focused, as weird as that is to say. I just mean that I didn't get a strong sense of personality from James, not like your other depictions of players/characters. Maybe that's just because his POVs were so focused on Natalie, I'm not sure, but either way it was still an amazingly written story. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Damn that was hot. And I loved the phone call to Coach Crawford. Very cute! And I absolutely adore the way you write Jordan. Thanks for throwing a kiss in there.
Dear Juliet's Version of Jordan Staal, Marry me. Or at the very least, ruin me for all men (since you can't do that to Natalie). Please & thank you, Izabella
