Oh wow that cliffy. I knew it was unfinished so i played myself. I don't necessarily like where it was headed. I would have liked to see Mary try to hold her brother's feet to the flames more than she does or try to work this out in ways that don't clearly lead to more danger and humiliation for her but that's my issue. I always wish the female leads were smarter than they are without changing how bad the male leads are lol. But I'd love to have found out how did Mary actually planned for this to work and not end up terribly for her. I hope one day I know her reasoning because gurl...
I really love your style, your darkness. I haven't had the stomach to read stories like Bought and Community but I loved If I Can't Have You and of your old ones this one is my favorite even if the last few chapters made me too sad. You're amazing. There's no one who writes this dark stuff with as much talent as you do. Thank you for sharing!

THE CLIFFFYYY! I knew this wasn’t finished but I like the idea of a 1920s dark romance so much that I went for it anyways. Maybe one day she’ll finish

10/10, as always, I love all your stories. I always feel empty when I finish reading because I cant find nothing as good TT I knew this story wasn't finished, but i couldn't help myself after If I cant have you. I hope to see how the story ends, I love the ml, how dominant and intense but also how vulnerable he is, I hope they have a happy ending together 3 Still reading this almost in 2025, I know I won't stop checking if this story updates in the future, no matter how many years pass :')

Hey guys, just to let you know the author is now active on AO3 under the name deathsdoll.
They explain it all in the author's note for hysteria on AO3.

I don't think this author is alive. I hope covid wasn't fatal on her because she stopped posting around that time. And she was a regular updater through all her books. I just hope she's alive and well.

I’ve read all your sorties a million times but never fully finished them weirdly cuz I don’t want things to end so I cut myself off halfway! But I always come back to them cos they speak to my soul and they weirdly are all topics I’ve been wanting in stories. The native Americans, the cowboy, the gangster. Truly remarkable worlds you have created.
It would be cool if you made different takes in your stories to how you originally wanted them? I remember reading savage love and the beginning changed a few times to follow different characters or something of that nature and I love to see the behind the scenes or potential stories. Just a thought. But first your other stories!
I have left reviews before now and then but I will buy any story you publish! If you ever decide to publish. You’re one of my favorite authors from here and other writing sites and trust me I have been reading these for half my life wow! And yours are some of my absolute favorites. So I hope you come back whenever life allows.
Also your email in your bio doesn’t show the “ at whatever . Com “ coz the website doesn’t process it or something so maybe type it in like this and then we can reach you. Blessings and love sent your way

i really hope you come back to this story. it's so good.

I love your story! I hope you plan to come back for the next chapter!

i hope you decide to make your return! I'm still eager to know how the story goes!

do you still think you'll come back to this story?

Jesus Christ I tried to find your fics on AO3 and cried for second completely forgot I read all your greatest hits here PHEW might've screamed into the comments section of Marriage for Murder...I regret nothing

Hey Guest. You don't speak for me and no one owes you anything. How about being more grateful that this author allowed you to read their work at all? Fiction isn't written FOR you, it's shared WITH you. Life happens and it sounds like you don't have much of one. You should give it a try, sometime.

To MindWideOpen, you're a great writer. I hope everything is well and look forward to whatever you come up with next.

I hope you return soon to this story! It's one of my favorites!
