message 38: by Raeann

Raeann I just started reading the "Avoiding" series, and wanted to tell you how much I love it. It reminds me of the 12 year on/off/on/off relationship I had with my first love, also helps that I'm too a 5' with curly hair ;), oh he was a 6'3" with dark hair.


message 37: by Britt

Britt I just finished the new edition of AR (I read the previous one as well)and all I can say is thanks for not make me like Jack again and make me love Rampsey even more now. The new hot scene in the kitchen...loved it. My only question is when is the 3rd book of the series release? BTW great job congrats!

(One question - when Lexi was in the Bridges building and gives the guy on the elevator her name .. and he gives her an expression like he knows her or her name.. what was that about?
