Long winded? It's fantastic, marvelous, poignant and, most importantly, necessary. It's almost better than the smut (and that is very, very difficult feat). Everything but long-winded.
I love the depictions of how he warns off other customers. Very yummy paragraph. And I can neither express nor understand how much I adore this--There was an All-American Joe type, blond and buff and looking like he subsisted entirely on whole milk and apple pie. There was a sulky-looking slender young Latino man, who was equally popular with male and female clients. Logan watched as Roger, a somewhat older, elegant man raised a glass in acknowledgement of the girl -- he was especially popular with the rich girls looking to work out their daddy issues. It's beyond words good.
“No one else. I can do it.”
“As much as possible, I want it to seem real.” Both of these so in character you may have been interviewing them as you typed.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you like the set-up, and to know which lines particularly caught your attention. Yes, as much as Logan can be antisocial I really do consider him to be a pretty keen judge of character (it's the predator in him, right?) and I thought people might enjoy hearing how he sized up the "competition" in his somewhat jaded and sarcastic but actually quite insightful way. And I also did like the part where he takes the leap to actually lay claim to Marie, without even realizing that he meant to. I try not to go overboard with the love-at-first-sight stuff, but I will totally cop to possessiveness-at-first-sight, and when Logan thinks of Marie with any of the others it's enough to push him into the situation he has otherwise been trying his best to avoid...

Oh...my...god. This is GREAT! I'm really loving it so far. I could totally see Logan in this sort of role, and I sense things are about to get QUITE interesting. Keep writing, keep writing :D
Author's Response: So glad you're liking it! Thanks so much for reviewing. :-)

I'm really digging this. As another reviewer said, you've managed to make this sweet and romantic. It's not just wham-bam-thank you, ma'am (not that there's anything wrong with that, BTW). I like the fact that you are building up to it, and it is not too slow either. You can see Marie's loneliness and her need to connect with someone and how see seems to have this instant chemistry with Logan, how they are drawn to each other. On the surface this whole scenario could come across as cheap and trashy in someone else's hands but you have handled it beautifully. Like I said, it's a great mix of angst and romance--very cool. As always, looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much Oracle!

When I read your description, I flinched initially, but sold? Yes. Signed, sealed and delivered, I think. I am astonished you have managed to make this both credible and possibly even heartwarming and romantic. More, please.
Author's Response: Yes, I flinched myself at the idea. Which is partly why it stuck in my mind, I really got stuck on *what*, if any, set of circumstances might lead Logan onto that path. I think that's why the set-up is so long, the smex is really incidental. But still fun. :-) Next chapter I'll try to make it a little more believable for Marie to be there too. And honestly, Logan is not really a whore. It's just a flimsy excuse to get the two of them in bed even though they are virtual strangers.

Having read and loved Beth’s’ xxx mansion’ many years ago and having done my own version of Logan the ’whore’ I felt I had to review because I found that it’s one of those scenarios that is liked by more people privately than publicly! [Although some readers don’t seem to be able to handle anything au, this is one thing they like but for some reason won’t admit to liking!]
Chapter 2’s title made me laugh! Great start, very nice set up - a whole nights experience to be explored giving you endless possibilities!! Love it :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much for reviewing! I appreciate the moral support. Those of us with filthy minds should stick together, right?

Ohhh... very nice. And, I loved the line:
"I want him to pretend like he really wants me."
There was just something sad in that line.
Can't wait to read more! :)
Author's Response: Yeah, I am such a damn sucker for a little side of angst and pathos with my smut, and Marie just has so much potential for that. Glad you're liking it!

Author's Response: Yay! I'm happy you reviewed! :-D

This is getting good. Without the right amount of build up this could easily slip into a toss away PWP, so I'm glad that you're indulging your muse and setting the stage like this. I mean, don't get me wrong - I love me some good ol' fashioned smexing, but the bit about what Marie wants is going to allow you to really...uh...ahem... explore your options so to speak.
So with that...Smut Away!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much for reviewing again. Glad you're not finding the slow build-up too onerous. The third chapter is also shaping up to be some very sloooow smexing, but at least I'm getting there!
