Woo Wee. Yep, perfect lunchtime reading.  I'm intrigued by determined Adam -  with the dark eyes and the "babe" and worrying about what his daddy thought of his friends.  Not to mention the idea of him hunting Colson down on ranches . . . lots of great stuff to ponder.

Thanks, L & L!

Missed it last night - but it sure made a tasty lunch treat.  Glad the boys got their rhythm back.  Now I have to find a way to get Gloria Estefan out of my brain  . . . O eh, o eh, o eh, oo aah . . . the rhythm is gonna get'cha.   ;D

Thanks,

Here's a recent shot of Hugh in his role as a hunky drover (Aussie cowboy) on the set of the film he is shooting up in Queensland.

Today is a special anniversary for me...it was exactly one year ago today (May 20th) that I started reading "Taking Chances." At that point Louise had written 74 chapters. I sat down for a marathon read and became completely hooked. Four days later, I sent Louise an email saying how much I enjoyed the story. From there...who would have believed that one year later she would be sitting across from me at my kitchen table and we would be working together to revise and edit the story? What a year it has been!

Happy anniversary to me and congratulations to Louise!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LESLIE  :-*  :-*  :-*

And a big thank you for telling us about it!

My anniversary is the day you posted the link here on bettermost. If you hadn't done that, maybe i would never have discovered this incredible, moving, funny, hot, sweet and beautiful story.  :o A disturbing thought indeed.

*off to catch up on the latest chapters*

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, LESLIE AND CONGRATULATIONS, LOUISE!!!!

I believe I first discovered the saga in August 2006 - don't know the exact date - but I do remember the first chapter I ever read - Chapter 45 - entitled "Roleplaying"  from Book IV, "Shelter from the Storm."   ;D  Let's just say I was more than intrigued! I also went back and did an almost marathon read from Book I on.  Real life?  What real life?  LOL!!  Fabienne is right - the thought of not discovering these stories is indeed disturbing!

What an amazing journey for both of you, L&L - and a fortunate one for all us readers.  To have two of my favorite writers working together is heavenly   :)

Thanks for all your hard work - truly a labor of love.
