You can not begin to imagine the joy that erupted in my heart when I saw that you have come out of retirement to grace us with your presence!!!!!! I have been MIA up here for a LONG time, only coming back every now and then to reread Rocked Worlds 1&2, I Was Made to Love Her, and Family Values. So, basically your whole catalog. I've grown a bit saddened thinking maybe you'd never return to finish these masterpieces (I Was Made to Love Her & Family Values) so I cherished what you left us with. Then of course the pandemic took place, lockdown happened, leaving me with more free time and looking for some form of escapism to lift my spirits. I come here after maybe a year and some change and saw you on my most recent page and FREAKED. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I truly admire your work. Your writing style is one of the BEST I've ever had the pleasure of reading and I consider myself an avid reader. Your content always leaves me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. In all of your stories I love how well you've portrayed Michael, it's so beautiful. I initially read RW and IWMTLH 6+ years ago and since then I have been praying to find someone who can love me as hard as Michael loves Keisha. That man worships the ground she walks on. I love how you capture a girl's fantasy/dream in his qualities but of course still infuse real life issues and character flaws, keeping it real and relatable. 

A couple years ago I remember you guiding me to MJEOL (which is now extinct I think after I tried to return after some time) to find some more of your content. I read a few bonus chapters from IWMTLH and I think one called Street Dreams (?), those were awesome reads. It is my hope that you consider taking those extra chapters (IWMTLH ) you finished and adding them here in due time. I don't want to rush your genius and know that all good thing comes to those who wait ;) If you can tell me this is not the end for IWMTLH that will make my heart dance. 

ANYWAY, I hope life is treating you kind despite these trying times and that you are reaching goals you sought out for yourself. If you haven't become a best selling author by now just know that your material is worthy of making you one and that you have faithful readers here who have lurked on and off for years (like me) just for your return! 😊

Ok, sorry I wrote a novel and didn't even get to writing the review regarding the actual story. I will on next chapter but had to first stop by to just say THANK YOU😩😩!!!!!!



Author's Response:

Well, crap. I cried.

Thank you very much for the kind words. It is so nice to see an O.G. who has been reading my stuff from the beginnng!

Couple things:

  • IWMTLH WILL return. I want to get to the end of this before I pick that story back up
  • Street Dreams (!!!)  I'm thinking I should reboot that story!  I need to retire Michael and Keisha and pick up with a new girl I think.  But Keisha is my person.
  • Rocked Worlds started off as a fairy tale.  RW 2 is the shadow side of that.
  • All of my stories are manifestations of the love that I'd want for myself.  I'd like to think that there are several readers in that position
  • Random: I'm still trying to work Aubrey into this story, but I have no clue how...lol
Oh man, I've read your review several times. It makes my heart so happy.  All is well for me here! Thanks for checking in and for staying with me, girl!

Okay. So first and foremost, can Taj even afford a place in Marina Del Rey? Lol. I'm from Los Angeles and a teacher's or substitute teacher's salary isn't cutting it anywhere near the coast. LOL. Secondly, Ollie makes another appearance. Keisha's cat from IWMTLH. Thirdly,Taj has yet to impress me and I don't think he ever will. He's so bleh. And I like this wild and dangerous Michael instead. Taj hid a whole BABY for crying out loud and she forgave him so easily. Not I said the fly! 



Author's Response:

Well, remember, Michael said he's leaning on his family and he hates it.  Hell, he has a place in Venice Beach now that's too small for him and Taissa.  Taj is meant to be a slow burner, but Michael is....WELL.  LOL

 

Keisha forgave Taj because of her own guilt about Michael.  He's a liar and technically so is she.  So she really has no moral high ground.

I am so happy you updated. During these rough times, your story brings me joy. I hope you are doing well and staying safe. 

There’s such an intense chemistry and intimacy between Michael and Keisha that I just don’t see when Keisha is with Taj. I’m team Michael all the way right now. And poor Keisha’s world just fell apart with the death of her father. I’m excited yet anxious to see what will happen next 



Author's Response:

I think everyone is team Michael because we have yet to see his flaws.  There are hints of them, and he does talk about being selfish and a few other things, but...I don't think we see him in action.

Oh no, Fabrice 😭

This passing is really gonna make or break things between Michael, Taj and Keisha.

😭😭😭 poor Keisha 💔
I have a feeling Michael will cut Prague trip short and fund + attend funeral
Taj....boy bye 👋
I feel this is the beginning of the end of her relationship

Why is Taj always pressuring her into doing something she obviously doesn’t want to? I’d take that as a red flag tbh

"I wanna be in love when I make love " I love that .

oh boy I know the next chapter isn't going to be easy for Keisha but I'm kinda looking forward how Michael would comfort her during this hard times. 

Lovely update as usual *chefs kiss *

The girl was bad...the girl was dangerous! If Keisha had a soundtrack that would be it...there is something about sneaking around that makes wrong things feel sooooooo right.
Can't wait for next chapter

Author's Response:

I don't think I want Keisha to be so angelic in this story.  We've had like...what...three stories of that?  Both she and Mike have been good girl/boy scouts, but the reality is that people are flawed and have nuances.  I want there to be this gray area where you're not totally rooting for any of these folks, but you're not necessarily rooting against them either.  I think this situation is shitty all around.  Either way, someone loses or gets hurt.

 

Ask yourself what you would do if you were Keisha or Michael?  The choice is fucked up either way.

Keisha girl wtf. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. She is also in the wrong, I honestly feel like it’s worse than Michael and Taj.

Author's Response:

Is she worse than Michael?  Taj is innocent in all this.  Granted he lied, but Keisha and Michael are doing too much.

Great update. Thanks!

Just curious....which scene was stolen from “I Was Made to Love Her” and is there any chance we’ll get updates for that story some day?

Author's Response:

Thanks!  I took a snippet from about the Francolin from "I Was Made to Love Her".  It comes from the Off the Wall Era, when Keisha and Mike reconnect as adults.  I will start posting updates to that story when I get down to the last few chapters of this one, which may come sooner rather than later.  I don't think I want this story to be as long as previous ones.

Oh you tease! You know how much I adore I Was Made To Love Her. Please tell me what part you stole from there? The greenhouse scene? 



Author's Response:

LOL I didn't mean to be a tease! ha ha!  I borrowed the bit leading up the greenhouse.  I need to rework some things in IWMTLH anyway.

Once you respond to Mr. 33, there's no come back. 



Author's Response:

Right!!  She did indicate that men these days send texts instead of flowers, though lol

Omfg Michael and Keisha are so cute. Now I'm stuck here wondering if she's just gonna leave Taj or if she's gonna get caught by him. 

 

 

Great update! And don't forget... Black Lives Matter ❤️ Have a great one.
