        The slow pace of development in this story makes it more dramatic and an expectation are built up in my imagination. More, pleeease! (9/10)

        i absolutely disagree with the first reviewer.  Sometimes a slow build up is dull and unnecessary, and one simply wishes to get to the action, but in this case i think it's a slow but enticing build up of pressure which only makes me more eager to read on. i'm enjoying this very much - thank you Ma'am - more please! (10/10)

        Her writing always makes me shiver! I think I have read every D/s book and story Ms Diaz has written and she always surprises! This one is building slowly and the characters and dialogue, as usual, are so very real! As real as a fantasy story can be! I’m settling in for a thrilling ride! (10/10)

        This story is well written and spends time setting up the situation, letting the plot unfold, and allowing anticipation to build.  As with the other reviewer, I may adjust the rating as the story progresses into more interaction of the participants.    (8/10)

        This first part you posted does not make me want to continue reading.  I've read your work before and I am always bored at the beginning.  I will re-review once most is posted. (4/10)
