I don't know why they both think that the end of his vacation has to be the end of their relationship. They can still visit each other and talk on the phone. I know that's not the same, but now that they have confessed their love for each other, they should be able to hold fast to their relationship and face the future together.

I've always wondered what is wrong with some of these fans who get upset over their favorite celebrity's love life. Did they really think they had a chance with them? I knew that reporter would be waiting for them, but I did not expect their confrontation to be so funny. I like how they both went off on the sources of their frustration. Rico really is one of a kind. It's poetic justice for him to be the one to attack the reporter. Then there is Giselle's ever amusing father. His arrival was such a fun scene. I was happy that Tae Soo gave her the choice to be with him. That proves without a doubt that he wants to be with her.

I'm glad you gave them more time alone, because I'm dreading what will happen when they get back. This chapter was so lovely, because they both confessed their love, although both were unable to speak it aloud. I hope Giselle won't convince herself that she just imagined that look of love he gave her. In this chapter, you conveyed how precious their time alone is. It was also very sweet, because most stories would have used this time as a passionate interlude. That passionate kiss would have turned into passionate lovemaking. I'm impressed with Tae Soo's restraint.

I really enjoyed this chapter. I love how it was just the two of them in their own romantic world. Your descriptions of their surroundings were beautiful and magical. It truly conveyed how special and remote this place is. I like how you described them as lovers lost in time. They have a wonderful connection and get along so well when they are left undisturbed. All their problems are caused by other people. It's really too bad they can't stay there like Tae Soo fantasized.

Of all the people to run into! Rico has to ruin everything. I bet he doesn't even know he did anything wrong. He did make me laugh, though, with his bragging about teaching dating. He has no clue how ridiculous he is. I feel so bad for Tae Soo after he tried so hard to work everything out with the reporter. What a snake that man is after they made a deal.

I'm hoping Tae Soo has a good plan for getting rid of the reporter. I like how Giselle and her father finally came to an understanding. I also enjoyed your descriptions of the remote part of the island. I'm worried, though, about Tae Soo's thoughts. He might be able to keep Giselle a secret for now, but their relationship will become known if they stay together. There's no way around it.

Her dad is so funny! He saved this chapter from making me cry. I did like how manly Tae Soo was in this chapter, but it's so sad that they have to part. I hope that they'll work it out soon.

Oh no! That reporter showing up is not good. Giselle's dad did a good thing for once. That was fun how he threw him out. Giselle and Tae Soo only just got together. They don't need anymore problems.

I love how happy they are in this chapter! She finally found out his secret, and she's okay with it. There are many more chapters to go, however, so I think it won't be smooth sailing yet.

I like the way you introduce your characters in the beginning lines without giving too much away about them. It's a nice little bit of mystery that draws the reader in.
I would, however, beware of starting many sentences with 'she' 'he' 'her', if you repeat the same opening too much it stands out to the reader. It is an easy thing to fix though, and otherwise your sentences flow very nicely :)

After you have your male narrator is thinking back about his rise to fame, I was confused a little to when the shower scene was happening, if we had gone back to the present or were we still with him on that morning because your tense is the same, so making that section clearer would help.
In the end I think I worked out it was after this he left to go to Puerto Rico where he is now...? But that was only from the last sentence. So make everything as clear as possible for your readers.

I was very drawn to your characters in this first chapter, the little details (like his laughing at simple jokes) are great :)

I'm not sure how much advice I can give youin general, but your enjoyment of writing your characters really comes through and I would truly go with that. It is enjoyable to read.
The best piece of advice I ever read was- enjoy writing and reading what you've written, if you ever find it boring or tedious or difficult or you just don't like it when you read through, scrap it. Be a perfectionist. Read through what you've written again and again until you it is just as you want it. And keep writing! :)

Finally! I know it hasn't been that long since they met each other in the story, but it's been a long time for the reader. Maybe it's just because it's taking me a long time to read this story. I hope I'll have more time over the long weekend. Anyway, it makes me happy that they kissed. Your descriptions are excellent as always, and the kisses were worth the wait. I only hope she will take it well once she finds out his secret.

Very steamy and exotic romantic novel, I must say. Nice satisfying ending. I guess it is good that they got together when they were more matured and established. He does not have to worry about young teenage anti-fans as when he was a teenage heart throb. My final analysis. It is pretty good. Good luck on publishing this.
So what is your fantasy about their married life? How would his mom react?

I liked your idea of both of them meeting in the chicken place, courtesy of Lena and Angie. That was a smart angle.

That was a good ploy, TS imagining that his assistant was Giselle. Good creativity there. Liked it. Luckily she stopped him and she is not immune to his charms too. Hee! hee!

Go for it Tae Soo. You made up your mind, now get going. :-)
