Didn't know if I'd like this, read a couple of the reviews to just get a feel for it. SOOOO glad I did!! What a unique concept! Like any of us haven't considered the advantages of Logan being on the menu in a 'Manor House'!! It's so perfectly him to be all growly/grumbly in the corner, and that it keeps him from being chosen so Hooker!Logan isn't so off putting is just icing on the cake! Wonderful job!! Simply WONDERFUL!

Nice! Very interesting angle. If I'd be there, I'd pick Logan in an instant as well. :)

Horrible how long it's taken me to get back to this. Shame, shame, shame on me. No amount of "busy" can excuse it.
Anyhoodles, like another reviewer said, Logan's unwillingness is really what makes this story plausible. It could have been silly, with the barest of excuses to cover the smut (like the plot of a porno--mailman delivering a package...). Instead it's sublime AU with characters as intricately woven as a fine rug, a homemade basket.
Favorite lines:
"
“Does it even matter? Is there anything you wouldn’t do to get out of here?” (This ties back to that plausibility thing. Just brilliant.)
"One word from me, and you’d be on the run for well and good. If that was something you could tolerate you wouldn’t still be here." So fascinating. You rarely see fics where Logan is less than prepared to and comfortable with running.

Author's Response: Rose, you are SO sweet to review every chapter! Of course, now you have me wondering if I can sell a UPSGuy!Logan..."Package, darlin'?" "Why yes, sugar, bring it right on in..." I was also wondering how to explain Logan taking the deal and not just running, but in my mind I rationalized it by saying he's really got more of a history of running from emotion, or responsibility, and then of course drifting. Staying "under the radar" is important enough to him that I think he would seriously have to re-consider any action that might have the government looking for him in earnest, which of course busting the claws out and wreaking havoc in a county jail would probably do...

Sahara told me this was good--and that girl sure doesn't lie. It's not the kind of thing I usually go for, but your suburb way of writing, your unparalleled characters, details, dialogue, make it easily better than a thousand other "bests". You have proven, with this incredible slice of genius/smexy masterpiece, that you can write anything--ingredient labels for Sprite, Chinese menus--and it will instantly reach a must read (or must rerereread) status. Are you sure you don't write professionally? Very hard to believe someone of your talent does not.
Fully intend to rerereread this, and comment on every wonderful chapter, but I'm about two minutes away from being late to work so for now....
Author's Response: Aw, some day you and I and sahara need to have a X-Men movie marathon slumber party! You are so amazingly complimentary in your review, and it makes me blush because it's so much more than my smutty little fic deserves. :-D

The fact that he was reluctant was what made the whole thing work. Not to mention that he did his best to alienate all the other Joans that liked to look,but not touch. The way he zero'd in on Marie was primal and that whole 'Lesson' made me jealous.
Author's Response: Yes, I agree, reluctance was key to a believable Hooker!Logan. And I'm also jealous of the lesson...Marie gets all the fun!

Well, I gotta say that is certainly differnt for me...I haven't read one that started like this before...love it though...he can certainly get into some predicaments, can't he? lol

Author's Response: Yes, it's a very strange starting-point for a story. No idea why it got stuck in my head like it did -- probably just the challenge of a.) making Hooker!Logan even remotely plausible and b.) managing to make it even a little bit romantic. Hope I succeeded! Thanks so much for reviewing!

THIS was absolute PERFECTION!!! Once I saw it was finished I just KNEW there would be no time to stop for chapter by chapter reviews and you DID NOT disappoint!! I read through this like a house afire and now that I have it locked tightly away into my favs I can read and read and read all to my naughty little hearts' content!! I LOVED IT!!
Author's Response: Wow, this is such a compliment! I'm so glad you liked it, and that you liked it enough to favorite it is very touching. And I'm also very impressed that you know how to bold words in a review! ;-)

Logan as a whore? OK, no way Im missing this haha
Author's Response: Yeah, I edited the description so that people would have to read the first chapter to realize I wasn't off my wagon. From the moment I took "man-whore Logan" out of the story summary my hit rate doubled! ;-) Thanks so much for reviewing!

Wow I'm really loving this story, I love how you've wrote both Logan and Rogue. And the latest chapter, can I just say I was running for a VERY cold shower. cant wait to see what else might happen, I have some thoughs in mind but I'm holding on to them because I really want to see what you write.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're liking it! And isn't imagining what these two might get up to the best part? ;-) Thanks so much for your review!

I have no problem with shameless and there is no reason to be embarrassed. Go where your muse takes you.
I'm on board! Looking forward to the next installment.
Author's Response: Hooray! Oracle is on board the Smut Express! :-D Thanks for reviewing!

I really really like this. I like the set up, I think it is basically believable. I think Logan would do any - any thing to stay out of a lab -again.
Author's Response: I'm glad you like it! Thanks so much for your review!

i giggle at the thought of emma frost running a brothral(sp?)i mean, if blondie was suposed to be emma frost. anyway,i like that you had logan use his brain as apposed to just going beskerk. can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Ha, I had not actually thought of that. She wasn't actually meant to be anybody we know, but in your honor I think I'm going to change it. I don't know much about Emma Frost, but I guess all manner of sins can be explained by AU, right? ;-)

It's a new premise that I haven't seen before, which is very good. So wherever the allusive "First Time For Every Plot" muse skipped off to - track it, follow, it, capture it.
Really, this has the potential to be one hell of a story. I noticed that you hit a bit of a sticky situation with The Prisoner after one of the chapters - not sure where you wanted to take the story. So, just take your time with this one because it seems like it's a gem. I'm finding that writing a bunch, getting a few chapters ahead, before posting helps a bunch! Flesh things out (no pun intended...well, maybe) in your head, create a rough plan, and don't worry about rushing the updates. An original plot and original dialogue are WELL worth the wait.
I'm excited to see where this goes :D
Author's Response: Aw, what a sweet thoughtful review, and I will say straight out that this story in no way warrants it. ;-) No plot points to get snagged on, this is going to be total, fluffy, popcorn-style PWP. But thanks!
