Changing Tides - Comments

@ Damsel of Darkness

Thanks for all of the awesome comments! Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner, life has been crazy! I see what you're saying about all of the sex scenes, and I have to agree with you. When I wrote this story I did focus on it a lot, and even though they're fun to read I think sometimes I wrote them because I was weird about wanting my chapters to be a certain length and I knew that would do it. I'm not sure if you're planning on reading the sequel or not yet (which is still a work in progress) but there's definitely less sex and more of a storyline behind it. I stopped worrying so much about my chapter lengths which I think had a lot to do with it.

I know the whole Michelle topic was up and down, but I felt like the story was getting too sweet and sappy at some points and had to throw in some drama. The whole thing with Leah's brother wasn't necessarily all Michelle's idea, Leah's brother just saw an opportunity to make money and took advantage of it. If you decide to read the sequel you will find out more about Leah's family.

They definitely seemed to have the fairytale ending and be happy in the end, but things take a turn. Again, sorry I didn't get to reply to each of your comments, I feel bad for not doing so! I really appreciate the feedback and constructive criticism!! You rock!

Well, that drama with her brother and Michelle came out of left field. Honestly, I though Brian was overreacting when he kept saying he didn't think meeting up with him was a good idea and she shouldn't do it.. I don't really understand why her brother felt the need to do what he did. I get that Michelle paid him and I guess I understand her motives, but I don't really understand his. Either way, I'm glad that they were both caught and put away for their crimes.

Her recovery was sad, but touching at the same time. It was good that Brian was there by her side every step of the way, along with their friends and family. I couldn't imagine being confined to a bed for so long, not being able to talk, let alone anything else. But I'm very glad she made a full recovery with no left over side effects

Their wedding was really sweet. I liked the location you picked, having been to Bali myself and know that it is a really beautiful place. And they had a little boy, which was just adorable. It was nice to see them get their happy ending, despite the dramas their past kept putting them through.

All in all, it was a good story and you're a talented writer. Thanks for the last few days of entertainment

Their trip to Vegas was amusing. They really took advantage of that implied rule of what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Hahaha. It was good to see Leah and Cora take their partners being surrounded by other women well and not cause a scene. It would be annoying at times, but it's nice that they're secure enough in their relationships to not really be all that bothered.

The scene with Michelle was interesting. It was good for them to get closure, but damn did Michelle come off as very pathetic and desperate. I don't really know what she hoped to accomplish. Although hopefully now she has gotten the message and stays away from them.

Leah and Brian's talk about their future was cute. Every couple needs to have "the talk" eventually to know they're going in the same direction. It might have taken a little convincing, but it's nice to see Leah has come around to the idea of being a wife and mother

Argh, double post. Sorry!

And I'm up to chapter 10.

The thing with Michelle trashing his place was crazy. I'm not sure what she hoped to accomplish by that... Although I'm glad she got what she deserved financially from the divorce. I would've pursued charges, but I guess I get that he was over the drama and just wanted it to end. I hope she stays away now... But I fear she might return.

The revelation of her past was sad. I'm glad she was able to share it with him and move forward with the relationship. I don't think he was unreasonable in demanding an explanation of why she might not want the same future as him... He deserved answers and although he put her on the spot, I feel it was necessary for their relationship to survive.

The dynamic between Brian and his little sister is cute. It reminds me of my relationship with my older brother... Especially the back and forth teasing and claiming to be the favourite child. Hahaha.

Their relationship is still progressing well. Their choice to move in together was a logical one, since they spent so much time together anyways. It was cute how Mandy announced she was pregnant... I hope to see more of her and see how that's going

The sex scenes... Honestly, I feel they're getting to be too much. I feel like the story is focused on their sex life more than anything else and I find myself skimming over those scenes. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with sex in stories (I write sex scenes myself) but when there's two sex scenes a chapter (and it's also constantly mentioned) it can get to be a little much. I don't mean to be offensive, this is just my personal opinion... Basically, I like the story, but I'd prefer to see a little more plot and a little less sex.

I shall keep reading

Up to chapter 6 now!

Leah and Brian's relationship is progressing well. They appear to still have those rose coloured glasses new couples tend wear, where there's constant growing feelings of love and excitement. It's cute, albeit a touch sappy at times. Hahaha.

I'm intrigued by what's gone on in Leah's past. It's sad that whatever happened has caused her to detach from her family and avoid them. Although it's nice that she's bonding and becoming part of Brian's, it's not the same as having your own. I hope Brian can help repair some of the damage.

His gesture of giving her a key to his place was sweet. I'm glad it's just a key and he hasn't jumped right in by asking her to move in, because that would've been much too fast. I know they're in love and super happy, but they still need to keep their heads about things.

I have to say... There's a lot of sex. I mean, I get that in new relationships, couples tend to go at it like bunnies, but when there's 2 or more sex scenes a chapter, it tends to get a little boring to read and I find myself skimming over it. But that is just my personal opinion, so please don't take offence

Anyways, onwards I go!!

So, I just started reading this story (even though I should really be sleeping as its 5am) and I must say, I'm really enjoying your writing style. I like the descriptive way you write, it really paints a picture and makes me feel as though I'm practically watching a movie in my head, which is great

I'm only up to chapter three, but I'm enjoying the humour mixed in with the budding romance, which thankfully at this point really hasn't been overly sappy (a pet peeve of mine, honestly). Although I must admit, I feel maybe Brian and Leah's relationship is all happening very fast. I get that they're on a time crunch and they're just bonding really well, but I dunno... It just seems super full on, super soon. It's just little things... They're already at the boyfriend/girlfriend stage on the first offical date, she told him to not use a condom (which is super risky, considering they really don't know each other yet and well, he IS a rockstar) and yeah... Just feels a little rushed.

This early on, I can't yet predict what will be the catalyst of their relationship. At first I thought it would be one or both of them being too afraid to commit, but so far it seems that is unlikely to be the case, since they kind of already have. I assume it won't be Michelle coming back, since he really doesn't appear to be in love with her anymore... Pretty sure that ship sailed long before the divorce.

Hmmm... I wonder what it will be... Guess I'll have to keep reading to find out!
