Well-written characters
"Charisse is an incredibly written character. I love how she is portrayed as a survivor, but her trauma isn’t erased. She comes across as a very authentic character, especially when it comes to her emotions. This author has a powerful writing style and is talented at building mystery. I was hooked from the beginning, and now I’m dying to know Joshua/Ken’s story. One thing I would have liked to see was more background on Charisse and Joshua’s connection. I felt like it materialized very quickly. However, love at first sight is common for the genre, so that could just be personal preference. I’m looking forward to reading more!"

A Black Rose
"Firstly, before I delve into my review, I want to mention that what I write are my honest thoughts, so excuse me if I sound harsh. Something Domestic surprised for me, and left me questioning life. The story sheds light on the dark part of the world we're living in- the part that's almost always neglected, the one overflowing with danger- and discusses very delicate and sensitive matters. It's realistic, and I must mention that it's brave of you to discuss such issues. The beginning of the story wasn't very catchy, but I had to continue reading to know what's the deal with Charisse. The story is good, and the plot is good too, but I had this feeling that you were rushing. At first, you were narrating Charisse's actions (what she does everyday and what she wear) and it felt as if you weren't yet used to your characters or you hadn't understood them well enough to write about their feelings in a way that readers would feel and get to bond with them. At first, I couldn't feel a thing, then I went mad and sad at the sametime. Mad when Charisse and Kendrick were moving fast with their relationship (until they realized so), and sad when I learned what happened to Charisse. It was a whole load of sadness and pain, and I'm sure you struggled while writing it, so kudos to you on that. The way you introduced your characters and solved each mystery was at first smooth and casual, and definitely shocking, but then things were happening abruptly and it was rushed. The story contains a lot of thrilling and scary and mysterious events, and it would've been beautiful if you've given the story more space to unfold because there were some stuff that were confusing. For instance, I kept wondering whether Maria knew that her daughter was attacked or not, and who knows about the selling deal, and why Charisse didn't tell her mother about the attack. For example, why mix the scene when Charisse was with the detective while her mother was being murdered together? it felt more like watching a movie than reading a story. Also, Joshua being in contact with Charisse's real father was totally covert and there wasn't a tiny hint that helped me realize it. And referring to Charisse as Marie Rose while she didn't yet learn her real name was confusing. However, the way Charisse changed and gradually became stronger and stood up for herself and the way things turned out in the end were pretty shocking. It really proves that some people who are severely wounded end up with toxic minds that need a lot of care and love to be cured. Charisse ended up as a black rose. It would've been so lovely if there was some kind of counseling on how to deal with such situations. Also, please add a trigger warning sensitive content right before all your chapters because some readers who'd stumble upon your story might have a similar experience and that would be traumatic. It's not enough to rate it as 18+ Technically, there're some missing words, typos, and some verbs switched to present tense while you're writing in past tense. I noticed you tend to narrate a lot using simple sentences and repeating the same sentences structure, while you can rephrase your sentences in a way that makes them reflect an image and capture the reader better. Also, in those paragraphs where you tell us what is Charisse going to wear, instead of saying She.... She... She... in simple sentences, use conjunctions to join your sentences together. Pay attention to repetition and usage of dialogue tags. When using said tags other than asked (whispered, yelled, muttered, mumbled, etc...) the dialogue should end with a comma and the pronoun should not be capitalized. Same case when you use 'asked' but the dialogue ends with ? Also question marks and exclamation marks do not exist together (it happened once) and by chapter 20 Charisse's eyes became hazel while they were blue. Excuse me for being nitpicky! I enjoyed reading Something Domestic even though it was a sad story, but you gave it a very realistic ending, and not all writers can do that. Kudos to you on the effort you spent writing your story! Keep it up!"
Steamy Romance
"This is a very steamy romance! But it’s not just a romance, the writer also tells of in depth relationships and touches on serious topics such as trauma (but I won’t spoil anymore). I flew through the many chapters and I hope there are more to come. "
DARK COMING-OF-AGE -- MUST READ!
"So... I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but I was certainly pleasantly surprised! This is a good read, a little taboo due to the age difference between the main characters, but exhilarating in its own way. If you're looking for a darker coming-of-age novel, this is it. Charlisse has a dark past (which I'm a sucker for) and "Joshua" has a secret we have yet to find out. It's intriguing, and those early feelings when you meet someone new and exciting is reminiscent of when I was younger and in that position. I'm impressed at the detail of the story, as I feel many authors/writers lack that (even best selling authors!), and it doesn't skimp on the sexual side of things. The only feedback I have to offer is some correction with grammar, and fixing the past/present tense that it seems to alter between, but it didn't affect my ability to read it too much. :-) It's an ongoing work in progress and in its early stages, and I'm so excited to see how this continues!"
