Very excited that you updated!
The gun reveal was awesome, as is Jake.
"To have a bourbon and rinse the taste of you out of my mouth. It's too distracting."
LMAO, can I have him?
The Josphine backstory was awesome and beautifully written. She's such a complex character, I can't wait to see more of her interactions with Jake, love them together.
Great update, so worth the wait. Looking forward to the next one!
Author's Response: okay so I love Jake, this always happens I always fall in love with my leading men and Jake is no exception. I just really enjoy writing a guy that's so hard around the edges. Josephine as well, I agree she is such a complex character I have to admit that the characters in this story are some of the most interesting that I've gotten to write thus far and so I have a lot of fun writing them. I hope you enjoy Jake's backstory as well. Thanks for reading and the review and the stars! Reviewer: TokenBlackGirl Signed

GreatO, this line had me dying, do you hear me? Dying!
Jake giving her a look that pretty much said ‘bitch did you really just try to shoot me.'
Josephine better get to talking to Jake and make him believe her. What's a girl to do? Handcuffed to the bed with no panties on...hmmm. Oh the possibilities.
Is everyone down in the bar really distracted or are they deaf? All that yelling and screaming Josephine's been doing, I can't believe Jake's brother hadn't shown up.
Update soon.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you liked that line, I felt like I could see the exact expression that would be on Jake's (Gerard's) face when she tried to shoot him. Josephine might still have a few tricks up her sleeve but I think she also learned the hard way that Jake isn't going to be jerked around so she may decide to just go the honesty route. . .as much as she is capable of doing that anyways! I *think* the noises outside and the radio playing drowned out Josephine a little bit hopefully that explains why Connor didn't break the door down hahahaha. Thanks for reading and the review and the stars!

Okay, first off, I did the Snoopy dance when I saw you updated. Thanks for posting.
Second, love the insight into Josephine. She's hardcore and I love it. So glad Jake had the presence of mind to empty the gun (he'd have lost cool points with me if he didn't). Favorite line of the chapter:
I mean I was supposed to be on a plane by now and here I am in this shitty neighborhood, handcuffed to a couch that smells like jalapeño and feet with the gates of hell opening up outside. What can I say, I was scared.
Okay, that had me rolling. LMAO. Loved the stuff about Gary, very nice way to tell us just who we're dealing with. Now I'm dying to know who she stole from.
Great, great chapter. Loved it and you know I'll be waiting for the next one.
Author's Response: Thanks BlackMa! I really enjoyed writin the backstory on Josephine I really wanted her to be hardcore but I wanted for there to be a reason behind that, I love how manipulative she is and yet I still can't help but like her a bit. Yeah I have some family in Gary and I really want to capture some of the oppressiveness of certain parts of it. And Jake is a smart one so he's definitely not going to let Jo jerk him around. Thanks for reading and the review sorry you had to wait so long for the update! Reviewer: BlackMamba Signed

ice cubes and a sex god what more can i asked for. this story is full of twist and turns and i love it. i thought she was a goner for good but she took it like a trooper and turn the tables on him as soon as she got what she wanted.
oh yeah a girl after my own heart
Author's Response: I know, I wish I could be so lucky as to find myself handcuffed by a Gerard Butler look alike (provided he's not psycho of course) hahaha. Yeah Jo has got a bit of a fight in her so she's definitely someone that Jake is going to have to watch out for! Thank you so much for reading and the review!

GreatO, you've outdone yourself. That was H.O.T. I know Jake removed the bullets, he ain't that dumb.
An update every other day will be sufficient. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, I love this story and I'm having so much fun with it. I don't think I can update that much but I will try my hardest not to have so much of a break between updates hahaha. Thank you for reading and the review and the stars!

This chapter was straight sexy. Jake put it on her so hard, he forgot that he didn't trust her.
Author's Response: Okay Sweet Pea you just made me spit out my morning coffee hahaha. Sometimes getting some of that good sex will make you forget some important things hahaha. Thank you for the review and stars.

I am hoping that Jake did remove the bullets, while he was rummaging through her purse. That seems like the best sex Jake as had in a long long time. Still curious to now wha she is running from. Looking forward to the update.
Author's Response: Hahaha, yeah maybe it's been a while for Jake or maybe being in a Blackout just brings out the freak in him who knows hahaha. You'll see hat happened in the next chapter, and soon you'll find out a little bit about what she's running from. Thanks for reading and for the review and stars!

Oh my goodness...what a story...1st the sex, then she pulls the trigger...OMGoodness...who did she shoot? I hope that she didn't shoot him. WOw, this is a great story very funny, sexy and mysterious all at the same time...thanks for a great read. Looking forward to reading more.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review and stars Divisonred! All I can say is that she was definitely aiming for Jake as far as the rest, you'll see. Thank you so much especially about the funny part because I'm always wondering if I can convey the humor in a line since you can't read tone, so it's a great compliment!
[Report This]Date: 05/08/08 01:43 am
Dear LORD JESUS that was so good!!!!!!!!! Who is she running from? What is HE running from? He's not bitter for no reason. How are you gonna leave it like that? She squeezed the trigger? COME ON!!! LOL Please, more of this. The ending is great; I anticipate some serious "you shot me bitch, now I'm going to fuck your brains out" coming up later on. It's additional impetus for him to go looking for her so he can nail her ass........in more ways than one.....repeatedly...and again, and again, and again, LOLOL *applause*
Author's Response:
LOL thank you Madame Z! You'll find out more about Josephine's backstory in the upcoming Chapter, VERY astute observation about Jake, he definitely is escaping from his past as well and he has a lot of reasons to be bitter. I love cliffhangers. . .when I'm the one writing them hehehe. And there will definitely be some bitches being thrown around. By the way, yous a freak Madama Z hahaha. Thanks for reading and leaving feedback it's much appreciated!

Girl, who is Connor? I saw his pick and had to audibly gasp?
Author's Response: Hey girl! Connor is Greg Vaughn he plays Lucky Spencer on General Hospital and he is definitely swoon worthy hahaha. If you think he looks good in the picture you should see him without a shirt!

DAMN YOU JUST HAVE TO GIVE ME MORE. DAMN I WOULD LIKE TO BE HANDCUFFED BY JACK, THAT IS ONE TALENTED MAN.. PLEASE TELL ME JOSIPHINE DID NOT SHOOT THAT SEXY ASS MAN. PLEASE, PLEASE KEEP IT COMING... YOU ARE ONE TALENTED WRITER AND I LOVE THIS STORY......
Author's Response: Thank you hershey_kisses, and add me to the list of people wanting to be handcuffed by Jake, if only hahahaha. you'll have to see if Josephine shot him. Thank you so much about the wonderful compliment I am so thankful for this outlet I have and it's just awesome that you are enjoying what I put out there!

I'm done! That was SCORCHING!!!! He put it on her ass! I can't believe she pulled the gun out on him... or maybe I should. Great update! Can't wait for the next one!
Author's Response: thank you! he definitely put it on her, i had to get a glass of water after writing it hahaha. You can't put anything past Josephine she's a piece of work.

So, okay, wow?
This chapter had me reeling a bit, her yelling at him, then seducing him, and then the gun. I didn't know what was coming next, which trust me is a good thing. If this is where we are now, I can't wait to see how these people end up down the road.
This really was excellent, and worth the wait.
Author's Response: I'm glad I could throw a few curve balls your way TBG, I sense you're as jaded as me when it comes to things so it's always nice to be able to keep it spicy. Thanks for the review and the stars! Reviewer: TokenBlackGirl Signed

Well, I'm hooked! Thanks GreatO! This story is facinating... what in the world is Josephine hiding or should I say from whom! Jake is hotness already. I laughed at him handcuffing her. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: I'm glad I've trapped you in my web idjunkie, I hope I can keep you there hahaha. Josephine is hiding a lot, and Jake was very smart to handcuff her! Thanks for the review and the stars!

Wow, that chapter was plain awesome. The ice cubes---I got no words. Very creative way to cool off.
But yeah, he was kind of a dumbass for uncuffing her and turning his back. And holy smokes, she pulled the trigger. Question is, did he have the presence of mind to take the bullets out of the gun? I guess we'll find out eventually...when you update again....soon?
Please? Pretty Please? Great chapter greatodin!
Author's Response:
You liked the icecubes did ya? It's a lucky girl that gets rescuded by Jake hahaha.
As far as his presence of mind well no comment lol.
Update coming sooner than this one I'm working on it!

Wow, nice beginning. You described the scenes so well. Took me back to when I was eight and Hurricane Kate came thru Tally, I just remember being in the house laughing and then everything went black, like a hush came over the whole world..lol..you couldn't see 1 foot in front of you..very scary, but at the same time kinda fun.
looking forward to getting to know more about these characters.
Author's Response:
I can't tell you how happy I am to hear you say that. I actually did a bit of research into blackouts because it was really important to me to capture that feel in a realistic way so I am really glad that this has come across.
You know its funny when people talk about natural disasters because it just seems so crazy to me. I've never been in a Hurrican so it sounds like such a scary experience to me. But then I've been in several tornados and for other people that would seem scarier. But I what you descibe is what I want to capture in this story, it's scary but also kind of fun and intriguing.

First of all bless..big smooches for Greg Vaughn..he is supercutehotfine to me..LOL
Second I like the premiss of the story..any given day our lives could change at the drop of a hat.
Looking forward to reading chapter 1.
Author's Response:
I love me some Greg Vaughn *sigh* and I thought that he and Gerard Butler look like they could play brothers.
I'm glad you like the premise it really is true that any day something could happen that alters the direction of you life or causes you to have a really introspective moment about where you are.
