I am not a writer like so many talented others, but am an avid reader.
I love this site and count myself lucky to be blessed by the work of so many talented authors!
OMG; what a fantastic update!
I am so proud of Lucinda for putting her foot down and demanding that Jared pull his weight! The fact that she didn't let her feelings for him sway her from communicating her expectations of Jared is even more commendable..smart girl! i am so glad that she convinced Jared to go see his mother, and that his timing was right on!
Just when I think Charles Sr. can't sink any lower, he just does...what a despicable character. Those poor little babies; even though they don't think they are, they're still babies...you had my heart thumping and my blood racing thinking that Charles was going to lure those poor innocent boys away...love the way Jared finally manned up and was a big brother to them! Not a moment too soon, in my opinion!
Even without any Charlie & Inga, I thoroughly enjoyed this update, and am already craving another...lol..
Thanks Amie: Lucinda will be good for Jared and you will see some long overdue maturing in the future.
Charles is going under the jail like Jared said. He is worse than the lowest scum.
More is coming soon!

Oooh...Inga has unleashed the monster in Charlie, and there's no turning back, lol. All I can say is be careful what you wish for, as you might just get it...I almost felt sorry for Inga, lol...
I hope Valerie keeps her word and gives Inga a chance, because her attitude is going to drive a huge rift between her and Charlie if she doesn't get over herself...she keeps claiming that she doesn't want him to get hurt, but I have a hard time believing that's all there is to her attitude...
Can't wait until Jared is able to truly convince Lu that he is for real and wants her just for her. I know she's been hurt & used in the past, but I'd love her to find satisfaction & happiness with Jared and leave the past behind her.
I am SOOOOOOO glad that Charles is going to get a taste of his own medicine! A HUGE THANK-YOU for that WONDERFUL occurence! Couldn't have planned it better myself!!! I was thinking of a huge beatdown for him, but this is soooo much better! Now he gets to experience what he was going to subject his kids to...how very fitting...lol...
Yes, Charles had no idea that he'd run into De Mar in Atlantic City. LOL. Valerie needs to have some faith in Charlie and stop worrying so much. She knows that thePeterson men are a bit obsessive, but Charlie has to make his own way. Its time for her to let her son go which is a hard thing for a mother sometimes. Just wait til she finds out about Lucinda. More is coming...
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed Absolutely LOVED the new chapter! I've been so busy lately with school and work, but seeing your update, I just had to stop by to check it out!
Loved the Charlie and Inga reunion; super hot, as always...so Charlie's got a freaky side, huh...who would've known...lol
Love Lucinda and the new and improved Jared; they are so cute together...love that Lu is opening herself up to Jared; she deserves happiness at last.
The twins are so adorable; I can only imagine how embarrassed they must've been listening to their mom. Glad she took the time to talk to them; they have so much potential.
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed Thanks for another awesome update; Inga was going to say yes whether she wanted to or not, after Charlie put it on her...lol...
I love how Jared is stepping up and finally becoming a man! He is impressing me more and more each day. I really wish Lu would get over whatever is holding her back and be with Jared; they'll be so good for each other...I can see them running her store together as a married couple with their brood of kids...yeah, I'm getting ahead of myself, but oh well:)
I really hope that Mama Peterson finds her own love; that will really make a huge difference once all the kids grow up and leave the house. She's been alone for so long that it will be nice for her to finally have someone to care for and cherish her.
So glad you were able to squeeze one moire update in before the week started; much appreciated!
Have a great week; don't work too hard!
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed Loved the update!
Is it just me, or is Jared well on his way to becoming a man??? Better late than never! Loved the way he stood up for Lucinda in the restaurant; that was so awesome! I hate the fact that Lu's self-esteem is so low, but I know if there's anyone that can help her repair it, it's Jared...love these two!
Now on to the main event...Charlie put a hurting on Inga...he heeee...love how the student became the master over the course of the night! I love it that the next day Charlie was feeling on top of the world, while Inga could only just manage to drag herself out of bed, then fall right back into it (snickers evilly), chug some pain pills and fall right back to sleep...
It's always such a bonus to see an update of this story, now I can get back to work...you're inspiring me to be a better employee...lol...
Thanks Amie: LOL Inga been wanting it and now she has it...so she better be careful what she asks for cuz now that Charlie's had it, he'll want it all the time. LOL. I'm glad you can get some work done. I've got to be dedicated for the rest of the week so I can't promise any more updates before the weekend.
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed Sooo, just getting to read this update; unfortunately work was really busy today, so no time to read earlier...lol...
Loved it, as always; you never disappoint!
I can't believe that ass Charles Snr. actually has the nerve to press charges against poor Jared, but I know my dear Brenda will NOT let them stick! The New Yorkers really need to catch up with the scum-bag SOON and take care of him once & for all, so that we can all have peace.
So glad that the brothers got to finally have a good chat and get some things off their chests...maybe they'll both understand each other a little better and become closer after this...
So the moment of truth is almost upon us, huh...maybe I should go to confession tonight...lol...can't wait for the good lovin to begin:)
More, please:)
Signed, Your Dear Buddy Olivia Twist...
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed Love, love love this story; Charlie is so adorable and honorable...so glad he was able to communicate to his mother all that he was feeling. I can't believe she was really that oblivious to all he was going through. I really hope things change for all their sakes. So glad the twins turned out well and didn't follow in dead-beat Jared's footsteps...
I have a feeling Jared is in for a rude awakening, if Valerie is true to her word and actually makes some positive changes.
Inga and Charlie are going to be sooo hot together! I can't wait until they finally give in to what they are feeling.
So glad Charlie came to Inga's rescue...won't even go there with that deadbeat wanna-be rapist Jermiane...
Can't wait for the next update; you've got another winner on your hands!
You hit the nail on the head. Jared is in for a rude awakening. Valerie truly didn't see how affected Charlie was by her behavior. Things have changed between Charlie and his mother for the better and Jared is going to see it the next time he comes over for a loan. LOL.
Charlie is insecure about his virginity. He feels that a man is "supposed" to be the experienced one and not the woman. Inga scares him a bit as well as the strong sexual attraction flowing between Them. He's afraid that once he has her, he'll be hooked (which he will) and his fear is that she'll find him lacking sexually, so he doesn't want to 'go there.' His self preservation is struggling with his desire to have her for himself.

I am really loving this story! Charlie and Inga are so hot together...love the fact that Charlie is no push-over and that even though I don't want him to resist Inga (lol), he has the will-power to do so...when these two do finlly get together, it's going to be so hot!
I kinda feel sorry for Valerie...I was not her biggest fan to start with, but the way she finally stood up to Jared was brave and must've been so hard, but it was LOOONG overdue! Jared is such a spoilt, manipulative brat...hope he changes because life is gonna become really hard for him...I wish his dad would show up and show his true colors, so he can have an epiphany...
Look forward to the next update!
OOh Amie, You reading my mind, so get out of my head, girl. LOL. I don't want to give it away, so all I will say now is to stay tuned for chapter 6. More is coming....
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed Loved the update! I can really feel Inga's pain...hope she'll be put out of her misery soon:)
Valerie needs to get over her disapproval of her son's relationship, or she'll lose another son! Hopefully it doesn't come to that...
The reverend should be ashamed of himself...the God he claims to serve is a God of love, and he is actually spreading hate and intolerance...sad, really.
I love Charlie, he's so adorable...so cute the fact that he was jealous of the sex toy...can't wait until Inga gets to school him...gosh I'm such a sinner:)
Amiefuzzy: The bible says, "All have sinned and come short..." We all can't wait til Inga gets some. LOL.
Her birthday is coming up and she'll wear Charlie down a bit. He has a surprise for her to help her make it through the six month wait.... MOre to come soon.
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed Thanks-a-million for updating...I'd been going through "Charlie" withdrawals all week...lol...
So glad that Jared not only beat the charges from him evil sperm-doner, but is also moving up at his job. So glad that he'll be more respectable and I know Lu will respect that. I can't wait until he brings her to dinner...can't wait to see what Valerie's reaction will be!
I like that the twins had that talk with Jared and that he gave them sound advice! So glad they didn't go all the way with Lindsey, even though they went far enough...ewww. In a way, I feel sorry for the girl, because she didn't ask to be molested by her sick pig of a father, but not accepting the help provided, and deciding to become a tramp is truly tragic! I'm happy that they're cutting ties with her; they are so cute...
I'm really looking forward to this family dinner; should be very revealing:)
So Valerie has an admirer, does she...interesting...about time she moved on from that pig Charles, and started to live...hopefully he'll actualyy be good for her.
Don't work too hard!

Marisol Smith left in the wee hours of the morning but her heart and mind won't let her move beyond the time she spent with Grady James Halpern. Part two in Mari and Bear's sorta kinda love story.
Yay! So glad to see these two back! Bear is so adorable!
Mari is so wrong for skipping out on him, but the reunion is going to be so hot (wink, wink)...
More please:)
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed Poor Mari & Bear...hate that they're apart, but you know what they say about absence and the heart:)
I can't believe the nerve of Mari's asshole ex...I guess he doesn't understand the gravity of what he did, abandoning Mari in the back of beyond where anything could've happened to her! So glad she's done with him, as he's obviously in love with noone but himself!
Can't wait until Mari and bear meet up again!

When rockstar Adam Brand makes a racist remark during a drunken magazine interview, it becomes an international headline. Within hours his PR Agent concocts the perfect plan to revive his rapidly sinking career before it’s too late, but will Adam be able to pull it off?
**** STEREO has been removed for editing, refining and if all goes according to plan, publishing! I couldn't have finished it without all my readers leaving their words and thoughts--even if I didn't always like them--so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. <3
Love the first couple of chapters; I can see these two are going to be quite the pair!
Poor Shaun, I feel her pain...I can remember almost breaking my neck in heels years ago when I first started wearing them:) Oh, the life of a tom-boy...lol...
Can't wait to read more; this story rocks!

This is a Scandal 'one shot' that had been rolling around in my head. Enjoy!
Okay, so this was all kinds of hotness, and I am so in love with Scandal...
You captured the essence of Livvi and Fitz so well; they are my new fave tv pairing. Hopefully you do more one-shots or continue this one; I'm not fussy:)
Can't wait until Thursday!
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed 
Mellie has always had a plan and a goal and she's not about to let Fitz and Olivia ruin it for her.
Mellie is one cool customer; when she came up with the fake miscarriage, I knew there was not much this woman wouldn't to to achieve/retain her position as First Lady...
Love the way you captured the essence of her and her stone-cold relationship with Mr President.
This show is totally my new guilty pleasure and I am addicted...lol...
Thanks for this one-shot to help tide me over until Thursday!

(In response to the "Chains & Whips" challenge.)
A high school guidance counselor working at her alma mater discovers that the principal's office is still the place she goes to get punished.
Wow; that was really hot; hope you decide to continue this!
Well, I thought it was a one shot but now I'm trying to wrap my head around adding on.

Jayden made the biggest mistake of his life when he let the love of his life slip through his fingers. Could he make it right and start anew? Tamaeya had been burned by Jayden once and had no intentions of being burnt a second time, but it seemed that the heart had it's own mind.
Absolutely in love with this story, as I am with everything you write, Brenda!
You really have to feel for both Tam and Jayden, as they've both suffered in different ways!
Can't wait for Jayden to stand up to his parents and claim his family; it's certainly long overdue!
Love the twins; they are a piece of work! Love that things seem to progressing between them and their father...now if Tam can get on the same page it'll be fantastic! I understand her hesitation and the reservations she has about getting involved with Jayden...
Sonya is a hoot! Love that she has Tam's best interests at heart :)
I'm addicted to this story, and keep sneaking to see if you've updated, even though I have an 8-page paper to write...lol...yeah I can empathise with Tam 'casuse I'm shameless too (hangs head in shame)...
LOL Raise your head, Amie! Do what you got to do, girl. Write that paper. I know it'll be an A+.
More is coming soon!
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed Loved the update! So glad that Jayden and Tam finally got to sit down and talk about the past so they can finally move on...Mama Jessica is a smart one!
So, they finally did the deed, huh...that was so overdue and inevitable...lol...glad they got the first one out of the way.
Amazing how Jayden does not feel the need to cleanse himself after touching Tam no matter how intimately and the fact that he could stand not showering afterwards was huge! Guess our Jayden is on his way to the healing he so desperarely desires.
Now, it's just about conquering the Dragon Queen, aka "Mother", hopefully his dad can be on his side and support him for once!
Can't wait to find out what happens next!
More is coming. Trouble is brewing so hold onto your seat.
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed OMG; just when they start to move forward, this happens and they are almost back to square one...plus baby of course :) Love how you made that happen, Brenda!
Nancy is an awful excuse for a mother and Jason really needs to grab his balls back from her! Can;t believe he went along with her refusal to call Tam and the kids to let them know about Jayden! I know it's still all about control for her.
So happy Stacy and the kids were able to talk some sense into Tam! Can't wait for the upcoming trip to CT...I just know Tam will be the one to inspire Jayden to come out of his coma!
Loving this story, and can't wait for the next update!
Jason does need to step up his game. He's upset with Nancy right now and worried about Jayden. Tam is going to have to go up there and kick some ass like Stacy suggested. More is coming!
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed So happy to see an update, and as always you didn't disappoint!
Bean & Bean are going down!!! I really hope they are arrested and made to pay for all their illegal deeds!
I love the twins and am really glad that Jessica convinced Tam to take them...how can Jayden not wake up with inspiration like that??? I'm really looking forward to the reunion.
I have a feeling Jason will come around when he meets the twins, not sure about Witch Hazel though!
Yes, more excitement coming with the visit to New Haven. Jason and Nancy are in for a surprise!
Thanks for the review.
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed OMG loved the update; these twins are so funny and entertaining. Love that Dana has faith that can move mountains, and Jay is not too far behind her...lol...
So our Jayden is finally awake; good, now he can help bring his family together; his children have started the good work, now I guess it's up to him to complete it.
I understand that Tam warming up to Jayden's parents will take time; I just hope they can at least be civil towards each other for Jayden's sake, so he doesn't feel the extra strain and tension.
Loving this story!
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed
Tam is really getting on my nerves with her handling of Jayden's parents. Yeah, they acted badly and didn't accept her and did some pretty messed up stuff to Jayden, but her attitude is really extreme. Her outbursts in front of the kids were really inappropriate and now poor Dana is afraid to be herself. I hope she comes around because she is driving a wedge between her family.
Lets see what she does now that she and Jason have had their little chat...I understand where she is coming from to an extent, but she needs to make an effort to let bygones be bygones for the sake of the kids if no one else.
So the Bean brothers have been founds out...interesting; hopefully they are brought to justice and made to pay for all they stole!
Welcome back, Brenda...you;ve been missed!

Merri Tallon is a fifty year old widow that wants to have some fun. Her single adult children think that she should sit in the corner and knit, but Merri has something else in mind!
Brenda, yet another winner; loved this little tale and glad Merri got to feel like a beautiful, desirable woman again! So happy that they both seem to have feelings for each other; hoping to see these two again, as they definitely have unfinished business!
Love how Merri put her kids in check, especially the ho Tam! How dare she suggest that because her mother is a 50 year old widow, she doesn't deserve to find love and happiness with another man...smh...
Reviewer: Amiefuzzy Signed
Loving it, Brenda!
Kids can be so self-absorbed (I know mine is...she's almost 15 and truly believes the world revolves around her...lol), they often fail to see or acknowledge their parents needs. Love it that Merri is taking matters into her own hands and making things happen!
Can't wait for the actual event; should be epic! Loving Caleb...he sounds like just what she needs to get rid of the cobwebs...lol...

A chance meeting on a bus ride headed for closure.
Much thanks to my amazing beta Curiously Amused
Love their connection; I just hope they both find what it is they think they are missing, or find the closure they need at the end of their journey.
Love the way their relationship has evolved over the bus ride...it'll be interesting to see what happens afterwards...seems like they'd be the perfect support system for each other.
Thank you! The two truely are perfect for each other. Their personalities mash well and they seem to feed off each other in a good way.
Thanks for reading and reviewing
