I absolutely loved that, I think it is definitely one of my favorite things you've written. I mean I usually love it all but something about this one...it seemed so right when it came to their personalities. Anyways, LOVE!

*INARTICULATE FLAILING*

I know this isn't the point of the story at all, but it's us so I'll take a moment to flap around about HOT VIXEN LAUREN and Jared fucking her. Good goddamn INDEED. *flaps flaps*

Okay, um. There's a reason Harlequin novels are so addictive, yeah? I can't stand the characters but the formulas I *LOVE*, and seriously, this might've been the best challenge ever. Plus you made it about POKER, which makes it extra-hot (I have a thing; how many times have I watched Rounders/Maverick/any ol' lame movie about cards?).

But the schmoop took the cake. And the pacing and PLOTTING of it was really awesome too, which makes you made of win.

All the schmoopy J2 love was such fun to read.

Thanks!

It's absolutely fabulous, sweetheart, as I knew it would be. Straight flush, ace high! \o/

That was great!! I loved the little flashes of the past that Jared had. Also, the Chad/Jared dynamic was pretty good. I also liked your use of Lauren. I think not enough people use here in their fics.
