3 Flames – Crackling Hot 3.5 Stars – Good
To be honest, the beginning of Déjà Vu threw me off a bit, jumping from two short paragraphs about someone then moving to another character quickly. That beginning might have best been written as a prologue instead of a chapter start with such a quick point of view change taking place.
2 1/2 stars - I thought this was a good follow-up to "Cheers". It's not a bad story it just needed some editing and I think Darcey's fear issue went on to long, making her come across as too self centered with everything going on with Vincent and her seeming to barely think on it. Though I will add that Ms. Vance did a respectable job of showing the nuisances of why her fear issue had been so devastating to her and why it was still crippling her.
Really Good read. I loved Darcey though she seemed flighty should have guessed it was because of heartbreak but the Vincent now he more than made up for Darcey. If all men were as perfect as Vincent. Sigh!
