Reactions and Reviews

The Assassin's Daughter by Lacey McBain is a long, highly enjoyable dialogue heavy story that charts the changing relationship between Bodie and Doyle prior to during and after an intense and dangerous 'Simple escort to Oxford'. I loved the brief interlude in the cottage and I very much took to Ginny who grew as a character as the story progressed.

This was the first ever Pros story I read, and I'll never forget it. The fact that it hits two of my favourite categories is always a good start, though: h/c and first time. The thrills and the spills will have you sitting on the edge of your seat, the banter will have you smiling at the very least, and the sex will have you pressed up against the monitor. *grin* I love her way with banter and the way she weaves a story. Her descriptions, for me, always flow wonderfully, and I'm forever using that exact phrase when I send feedback. :P It's all true, though, and I can't find a better way of saying so. It's as simple as all that really. This will always be a special story to me, and not just because it's the first Pros story I read. I think for me it was the perfect first story to read, and I just hope that if someone hasn't already read it they can find it now and enjoy it as much as I did, and will again each and every time I reread it. :)

I loved this story the first time I read and the second time was even better.
