I would like to think I am not shallow enough to say I couldn't have a friendship with an ALPHA male, but I Am shallow so "best friend" stories attract me like a magnate (haha) but alpha males as friends...of course but I am afraid I would treat our friendship like a scratch and sniff book....I told you shallow!
Oh I am one behind you in seeing "The Phantom of the Opera" on stage!!! I truly love the story and look forward to reading your story of Paulette as I am also overweight and hide behind large hoodies to try and hide this but as we all know nothing is hidden!!
I live in a cul-de-sac and years ago a young Special Forces Army Medic moved in with his wife and daughter and every morning he would don a 50lb ruck sack and run for miles through the streets of our town, I believe that he never knew the thrill he gave us "mature" wives but believe me if I was a writer the book would be steamming!! He has since been stationed elsewhere but the memory lives on!!
I began with Jane Austen, the romance between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy set the tone for the rest of my life! I read anywhere and usually anytime (much to my bosses complaints)!! Gothic, Historical, Paranormal anything that invites me into a world of romance!! Can't wait to read yours!!
