The Rock Fight is a great little story of Boomers as kids, on the cusp of coming of age. The author speaks with detail and assurance about life in the 60's (the Stingray bike gave it away) where, as the author perceptively observes, the neighborhood was everything, most especially during summer vacation. All the characters, most on the verge of adolescence, ring unerringly true, with nary a false note struck. The pace of the story moves along naturally, keeping the reader's interest without gimmicks or sensationalism, the descriptions sufficiently fleshed out to create a feel of the kids, the neighborhood, the era, and the plot engages, with a believable and satisfying climax and denouement. The narration is well written in simple, accessible declarative prose, with dialogue the stuff that kids actually said to each other in that generation. In summary then, "The Rock Fight" paradoxically succeeds as it faithfully hews closely to its own modest parameters.

Property of a Gordon

He just kept smiling while shaking his head. "After you, Snowflake," he said, sweeping his hand, but I only growled at him, thoroughly unamused by the name."Call me Snowflake one more time--" I started, my voice low, but he seemed unfazed by it."Your death threats are getting stale, do you not think, love?" He asked, emphasizing the last word with a raised eyebrow.When she took on the dare, the last thing she expected was to be captured like a wild animal and brought to a grand palace belonging to one of the three Gordon boys. She certainly didn't expect to play the part of a Protector or to constantly question her emotions for a pair of arrogant, blue eyes. (First installment of the Gordon series. Kendall Gordon's story.)Cover designer: maejesticHighest Ranking: #1 WEREWOLF/ #2 RANDOM

Melted: A MaxTul AU story

Max returns to Thailand after finishing his latest manuscript only to accidentally meet the oldest son of the company that's one of the main topics of his next book. Tul has the reputation for having a chip on his shoulder for being the bastard son, but that's not the Tul Max gets to know. However, this isn't just a story that shows a friendship that turns into love, but a team that comes together to fight for the legacy of a company and to right a wrong that began 30 years ago. It involves a ragtag team, corporate intrigue, slight underworld connections, organic farming, embassy contacts, and enough angst to make even @sojunights happy.I was inspired by one of the very first Korean dramas I watched: Queen of Reversals. I loved that story because it was one of the few times that the second lead actually ends up getting the girl, but I rewrote that drama in my mind over and over again after the memory of my joy was tainted. Then recently, I had a dream where Max Nattapol and Tul Pakorn were the leads, and Boom! I did keep some relationships from the original show, but this is definitely an AU so those of you who are fans of the show will find only a few scenes/relationships that you remember .
