Reactions and Reviews
Jim is experiencing some strange things. First of all, he’s having inexplicable and bizarre nightmares. When he wakes up, he realizes that his senses are reaching beyond the loft to focus on a new tenant in the building, Abby McNeil. When he finally meets her, he’s struck by overwhelming and conflicting urges: he feels desire similar to what he felt for Laura in “Attraction”, but he also feels overly protective. Discussing it with Blair hasn’t helped, which adds to his frustration. On top of all of this personal stuff, he’s having trouble with a big case at work. He knows he’s missing something obvious but can’t figure out what it is. Yikes. This is the first non-humorous story I’ve read by Mackie and it intrigued me because there was just so much going on under the surface. Lots of secrets and lots of messiness and lots of emotional turmoil, and it fooled me into going down a garden path. Dare I say “enjoy”? Read and decide for yourself.[1]
The author declares this to be a Mary-Sue story, but the lady in question didn't come across as too perfect, or even as a BOTW. Or maybe the author's declaration disarmed any accusations one might make, and made one more disposed to romantic inclinations. I was certainly sympathetic enough to wish that there was a sequel -- with a happy ending. The story was built up gradually, and there were even a few surprises - and I like surprises.[2]
