Geez. How did I get so far behind? Love how quickly they rebounded from the uncouth gentlemen. Lorna seems most smitten and Blaze seems to be pleased in a non-demonic way. Okay, onward. mikey

Thanks, Mikey. It's usually easier to read several chapters together, I find. Helps me to remember the story, with so many to read at the same time. :)

Will Blaze begin developing a heart when she falls for Theo? Any guy who can make her forget about Blake must be a keeper. And Lorna seems to have found a nice one, too. Maybe they can both forget the creep.

Thanks, Cindy. It won't be because of Theo. :)

Theo sounds like the new love interest? Although I usually think combing work and pleasure a bad combo - so many people can only meet others at work since they spend so much time there.

Thanks, Maria. Yes, it is a dilemma. It's even harder to date one's boss!

Theo suggested the wager--not to talk about work, and he lost. He was the first to pay up. Blaze and Theo are hitting it off and Blake is out of her head for the moment.

I liked this chapter very much. It held my interest extreamly well. The dialog is especially well written, as usual.

The ending too, has a nice pull to the next posting. The "ten dollar" bit was a nice touch.

Thank you once again.

On the rebound from Blake and Blaze loses a sure bet because she can't focus. Why,? Blaze is falling for Kevin. Even demons have a good rebound game .

Thanks, Ed. You mean Theo (her boss) and Lorna falling for Kevin, but that's okay. Names are hard to keep straight in these girly romances. LOL! :)

Hi Phyllis - you set the scene well for dancing in the nightclub. Blaze and Lorna are still attracting the guys. That Theo sounds too nice to be getting mixed up with Blaze. Maybe he doesn't know what he's in for!

Thanks, Annette. Theo is Blaze's boss. He hired her to do accounting for the dance troupe. They work together much of the time when he's there. She just had never seen him outside of work. He's a tall dark and handsome Italian guy. :)

You should be writing for Harlequin. What a lovely romance scene. Good touch with her shoes in Theo's pockets, and I'm glad she let go of Sebastian at the end. Still, I'm not sure I'd trust a man with golden curls. :-)

Thanks, Shari. The golden boy is more in danger with the corrupt lawyer, I think. LOL! Glad you liked the scene. :)

You do an excellent job, Phyllis, of setting the scene here as Blaze and Theo
dance. And, of course, you are the queen of dialogue! You use it so effectively to advance your story, and you do so with no errors at all. Of course, I guess I'd expect no less from you given that I think you indicated once that you had been an English teacher.
Nice work, as always.
Connie

Thank you, Connie. I want to apologize for not reading your story about the puppy in the pound. As soon as I saw what it was, I knew I couldn't read it. I can't stand to think about animals suffering or lonely or children being hurt. I didn't read Sandra's story either, since I could see that a child was killed in it. Another sad puppy story got skipped too. Nothing peronal. I am just waaayyy too sensitive and I have to avoid anything that even hints at animals or kids suffering.

reply by Connie C on 11-Feb-2015

I certainly understand your not wanting to read about pups at a shelter. I am quite the animal lover as well. I did read Sandra's story--well written but oh so sad. No one dies in my poem, though. They just have sad eyes waiting to be claimed. :>(
