My current WIP - Feedback appreciated

Now that Dancing with Venus and Fractured are out, I have one last WLW romance to release. This is also a WIP that is a little over a decade old. These two and a half chapters haven't been edited yet, and I would really like your thoughts and comments. Thanks, RJ

Couldn't find anyplace else to make this comment so decided to put it here. I've started a new writing project. I am currently in the midst of a rewrite of two previously published books for re-release. Also rewriting a never published work for release with the other two books as a trilogy.

The three will be re-written as mainstream novellas.

And I've got to say - having a lot of fun writing.
