It takes two to tango

No matter the time or the place there is one couple that you can't separate - want to take a guess ? Nope ..  you won't find the answer in the picture this time, even if pictures paints a thousand words! .. and this is an awfully nice picture ... it could very well be the climax of a lesfic story line as in ... no I'm not the writer - I'm the reader! And that's who they are, the couple .. not the dancers silly ! The couple that you can't separate, the couple who need each other like ... well whatever You Need.

... the reader and the writer .. it's a bliss when you find each other. You can be her first, she can be your latest and you can be each others ... whatever you are it might be for life. 

You can bookmark her, put her among your favourites or on a shelf - she won't mind. She will think of you while she puts her words on paper and ponders the story line, but you don't have to brush your teeth before you take her to bed. 

It's a match made in heaven, but it's not free. You'll have to commit your reading time as she will have to commit herself to slaving over the keyboard. She will wonder if you read her lines, as you will wonder the meaning of her words. 

You are together yet separate, your lives merely touching, but still she can linger in your head for days like the tune of a favourite song that you hum to yourself over and over again.

What you do to her is your choice, but if you like her writing drop her a line - STOP lurking and be a pal feed the bard!  ... now I don't know the couple but they could easily picture characters from a favourite story line - even if short blond and tall dark aren't in the picture.... could it be Caid the "Balantine Babe" from Dabkey's "And Playing the role of herself" and her love interest Robyn who just happened to be sporting both a very visible boyfriend Josh and a less obvious stalker. Well probably not as both Caid and Robyn tends to be a bit protective of their private lives and not much is private when you are an actress. On the other hand it might be Mimi and Jolly as you might say that privacy is not high their list. Mimi is waiting in the wings - and not quit patiently - for the love of her life, Jolly to notice what is right in front of her eyes ... the love of her life, and once the cobweb has been dusted of Jolly's mind, they find "A place to Dance" very much in the spotlight or rather in their fathers face ...yes check it out!

Dancing is certainly not uncommon in our lesfic story lines and to some it's almost a lifestyle. Take Sheridan who is a regular on the dance floor with just about any hot babe that she can lay her eyes on ... well that is until Keefer happens to put herself firmly in the picture, but "Caution: Under construction" might just leave you a little breathless even if you aren't  joining the ladies on the dance floor. 

If you go for the more serene dancing then an evening in the company of D.S. Bauden and "A Saving Solace" might be more to your liking. It's just one dance in the confinement of Kelly's home but it does take the story and the ladies to the next level. As is the case for Laurel and her friend Caden in Kim Pritekel's "Again". A dance in the privacy of home is just the thing that gets things moving towards the living happily ever after. If this is playing it a bit safe then try your hand with Xenasgrll's "A Safe Place" where Paige treats Madison to a dance which would not be deemed safe in a public place. Do you want me to go on .. then lets turn up the heat a notch with J Brownell's "Now and Forever" this time the ladies doesn't even make it to the dance floor even if they are dressed up to the nines and almost there, but then again they don't really need to go to the next level, they are already there. 

Now don't get the impression that a dance is all it takes, sometimes a dance can spell disaster waiting to happen as is the case for Clancy in "Miss-Match" by AC Henley, but then again Max wasn't really whom she should have chosen for her first dance and she might think to thank Carmen for getting her ass out of trouble. As for dancing with the "wrong" woman Artemis Callaghan will set up Kit for trouble in the long run by accepting a dance with the wrong sister at the right time. A mix up YES - is it easy to fix - NO or YES - as long as you don't mind playing the fence a bit. Follow the ladies in Hen Night, Wedding reception, Honeymoon, Divorcee.

Go on there is a woman and a writer out there who is the ONE for you....

Obsession by Janneen Brownell

Every one is worried about Cayla, she drinks a bit too much, she goes clubbing all night and sleep all day, and she doesn’t take the strange letters and signs of a stalker seriously – or rather she just don’t care – she failed to save Tyler, a bright, cheerful preschool boy – so why should she care about saving herself from self-destruction or from an obsessed stalker?

Michala Cary or Cayla is a psychiatrist who used to work with children and teens often victims of child abuse and Tyler was one of her clients. Tyler died because Cayla failed or maybe because the State failed it’s responsibility, or because his father was a violent man, or his mother didn’t protect him from his fathers violent temper. Whatever the reason Cayla feels responsible.

Dr. Kelly Pryce is not a doctor kind of doctor but a doctor of criminal justice and the local police liaison for the Domestic Violence Intervention Team working with the Cary Centre and Miranda - one of the psychiatrists at the centre and Cayla’s twin sister. Kelly has an interest not only in working the domestic violence and child abuse cases but also with the intriguing and beautiful Cayla.

Luckily enough a chance meeting between Cayla and Kelly is the thing that get the ball rolling as Cayla takes an interest in Kelly, and sets out to pursue her. How hard do you think it is to catch a woman who wants to get caught … well I’ll say that you could take a peek at “Obsession” and find your answer.

The scene is set for a romance with a dramatic twist. Drama as in a stalker turning to physical violence and romance as in hot sexual encounters turning into love, and while the drama unfolds friends gather around Cayla to keep her safe from her stalker and herself.

The problem with a drama is that it’s a story that you can only read and really appreciate once – after that you know the little twist and turns that the writer uses to keep you interested, wanting to discover what’s going to happen next and how it’s all going to end. Next time you read it the things waiting around the corner/the next page is less captivating as you already know what’s there.

You might say that this is all the same with a romance, and I guess that it’s really just a matter of who’s doing the reading, but I can still enjoy rereading – perhaps not every page ;-) – a good romantic novel or short story – just to re-experience the best part of the romantic storyline (no I’m not referring to the spicy parts – those do get old – there is really only so may ways to describe …. you know what).

Just to prove my own point wrong, I’ll say that I actually did enjoy rereading “Obsession” it’s a well-written story, with a good mix of romance and drama and the character of Cayla is complex enough to be interesting. Cayla is a strong and self-reliant woman, who is turned into a victim not willing or able to fight for herself – it’s a good thing that she has all the friends she needs, friends willing to fight her and fight for her when needed.

If you like a bit of drama with your romance this would be a good story to spend your reading time on.
