Feedback/criticism: Will be gratefully hoarded and possibly gold-plated.

Thanks! It moved into my brain and wouldn't move out.
I wasn't planning on continuing, but everyone wanting to know what happens next has sparked ideas and a desire to write them, so I very well may continue. You're all such enablers. :)

Why the heck would anyone pose as a hooker for that? I thought that was what spermsicles are for.

I'm glad you liked the hamsters!

Harlequins... I must admit I read quite a lot of them until I discovered fanfic, and when they're bad, they're bad. But if you're lucky it's a good bad, where you get to marvel at the crack everyone was obviously one. And some are fun.

I think it's the phrase 'big lug'. How is that a good desciption for the hero? What were they thinking?

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. As for seeing more... well, we'll see. :)
Hopefully I can get my plot sorted without it desolving into over the top angst, which I refuse to let it do.

It's funny how romance writers can have some absolute shockers along with some very decent stuff too, isn't it? And sad, too. Although once it worked the other way - I read one book I hated, but I loved the sequel.
And I'm sorry I brought up a traumatic memory for you. :)

A... brilliant physics professor... is stupid enough to... has so little dignity as to...

My brain refuses to finish that sentence.

So many levels of wow.

Also, cute, I want to see the next part. :D

Personally, I think the phrase 'big lug' is what gets me. Who thought that would be a good description for the hero?

Thanks! I'm so happy you liked it enough to want more. (Or that you're curious enough. *g*) I wouldn't hold your breath, but I have some ideas. We'll see. :)
