    It only took four books of sheer stubbornness, but they are officially a 'thing'. *confetti* I hope everyone stick around while these two crazy cats try to figure out how to even relationship. It's worth it, trust me.

    I find myself indulging a bit with this book, even more than I did last book. Last book the beginning had very little action because the upcoming scenes in the last half legit broke my heart.

    In this book I'm writing dream sequences, parties and plays and most of it is for you guys, the reward for suffering through Angie and Gabriel's stubbornness. The rest is for me. There's things I want to see, feelings I want to explore, before I start the last book.

    I am so glad you took a chance on my stories! *hug* You tell your pervy side to be patient, because everything so far has been a warm up. Both of you know what's coming up. Wink

    I LOVE Angie's parents so much. I thought about doing a side story, but Arthur's retired so there's not much to write there. I decided to devote a chapter to them, so we could learn about Angie's origin story. ^_^

    Vivian is like a ball of fire with skin. Seriously, Arthur didn't stand a chance. I think he's legit adorable, but also totally a stalker. He became her substitute to be just a smidge closer while he stalked her. I like to think that he fell for her first, then decided to go to the school. He was around to save her because of course he was, he was watching her.

    As a hunter he had to deal with nasty things, and do nasty things. Vivian popped on his radar because of hunting, but while he was watching her he wasn't killing vampires. He felt okay with that because he was watching Vivian for hunter reasons, at first. After that I think he latched on to something that wasn't hunting, the only thing he had.

    At the same time he knew full well that stalking her was wrong. After he saves her he doesn't want her to see his face. He doesn't want any recognition or reward, because he wasn't there for any honorable reasons. When she asserts herself anyway, he can't help but bend to her will.

    Now these two crazy cats can be together and have a happy, sexy, retirement. I want to give Arthur a job, so I'm taking suggestions. Should he go back to teaching science? Should he open a shop of some sort? He can't sit around all day, he needs some kind of employment.

    First of all, I never commented on Gabriel and Angie becoming an actual 'thing'. So... ::claps: Woohoo! Finally! :)

    Secondly... girl, you did not disappoint with that almost-kinda sexy-time between those two; I loved it. ;) Not gonna lie, I typically ignore stories that don’t have a NC-17 or R rating, because my Pervy side tells me to. One day, however, my pervy side lost and I came across Project Vampire, and got hooked, instantly. But now, NOW, you have out done yourself, and made my pervy side very happy and left it wanting more.

    Also, I enjoyed learning about how Angie's parents met. I wish I could be a bit more outgoing, like Viv.

    Yes, I caught on the end of the chapter; with the whole 'black tie' event... it has me excited! Also, kudos on the dream sequence. ~~

    Jack Gyllenhall's facial hair- I know, right?! Darker eyes and a clean-shaven face, he'd be perfect.

    Greyston Holt- Agreed, he must have the braided long hair. I thought of this guy watching the show he's in, 'Bitten', on Sci-fi. Lots of sexy time between him and the main girl.

    I tried to show the traits that Angie inherited from both of them. She got her mom's stubbornness and an attraction to older men. From her dad, she got being dense about people who are attracted to them... >_>

    She looks more like her father than her mother, too.

    Their story wasn't so much about a student falling for her teacher, but more like Vivian falling for her stalker.

    I think Angie's parents are adorable. I love their dialogue of "Am I cute?" :3 you need things like that when you've been together so long. Granted they just rekindled.

    What does everyone think about the two people that created Angie? I honestly find both of them hopeless. >_<

    I think this book needs another subtitle: Taking the Characters Out of Their Comfort Zones and Watching What Happens. Especially Gabriel. Not that he's going become emo, but it's nice to see that he can get emotional. :3

    No worries, he'll be back to himself soon.

    Yes, I have. It is quite odd to see Gabriel being more emotional, but I don't entirely hate it. Angie is also quite adventurous romantically, which I thoroughly enjoy.

    I'm intrigued as to what Nora sent to Kieran. :P

    That is just sad.

    How have you liked the most recent chapters otherwise?

    No, I don't mind the word. I'm just saying the explicit word and scenario make it 'inappropriate for young teens' in our conservative society. *eye roll*

    As soon as 'erection' was mentioned, you hit the border. :P

    *changes rating* I don't want to get in trouble. I'm used to just rating stuff MA. Thanks much!

    *blush* I've written more than a few lemons in my day...
    Seriously though, have I reached NC17? Cause if not yet, then eventually I'll have to change the rating anyway...

    After some google image searching I could see Jake Gyllenhaal as Gabriel. He's got an older, brooding look to him. Definitely like the eyes. Also, why does the man have barely any clean shaven pics??

    If Greyston Holt grew his hair out a bit more he'd make a really nice Kieran... Any actor that plays him has to have hair long enough for the braid. As the writer I put my foot down about this...

    My opinion on how my characters look is only as valid as anyone's else's. Maybe even less. I write the books, but they live in my reader's imagination.

    At the same time, I selfishly consider myself a fan of my own books. Because I write the things I want to read. So I will do the fangirly thing and look for actors that might play Gabriel and Kieran, for instance.

    Yeah, Gabriel is thin as a rake. He's a buck fifty soaking wet, heh. (Fun fact: he and Angie almost weigh the same. O_O). Thankfully Gabriel isn't the only guy to crush over. (90% of my fan service is about the guys...)

    There's Chris, who could totally be played by a Hemsworth. Kieran, for those that like tall, dark, and handsome types. And Arthur, for all those silver fox fans out there (you know who you are) I wrote these guys as huge and muscular, partly cause of the work they do, partly cause fan service. In order of bigness Chris is first in height and width, followed by Kieran, then Arthur (who tries so hard for a man his age, that's why we love him).

    With these titles my readers know what they're in for before they start.

    Invincible- Love it. I forgot how cool and fun Ok Go videos are.
    It Just won't quit- The lyrics were so perfect.
    I Want You- Oh, my... the 90's. hehe I think it fits him quite well.
    Addicted to Love- I don't even know what to say about this one... lol

    Your Gabriel is so incredibly cute, though, way too scrawny for me, but then again, I'm about 6ft tall and not all that thin, so I'm going to imagine my leading man to have a bit more meat on his bones, no matter how skinny the author describes him. Your Kieran is such a hunk.

    I've always imagined Gabriel to have a kind of Jake Gyllenhaal look to him (not imagining him any thinner than that). Kieran, I imagined him somewhere between Chris Hemsworth and Greyston Holt. Mmm yummy.

    In a sexy, dark way.

    Seriously though. Those are the true titles. Haha!
