Okay well, here are my thoughts on both of these chapters: I LOVED IT! I could use another chapter or can you please think about writing more stories for Necessary Roughness. I do believe this is the last story for NR. I've enjoyed all three. Thank you so much for all the time you've put into these great reads.

wow! way beyond wow! i just fell into your story! it seems almost real in an episode! AWSOME!

are you going to write more on this story it is great so far.

Well done, I like the vulnerability of both of them and the way we see what's going on in each of their heads. A well deserved win in the challenge!

This was such a wonderful fic and please keep up the good work.

Hello :) How are you today? I'm sorry for taking a few days to review. It's a quiet moment in the office (I've gotten stuck with writing about a day in the life of a mortgage adviser...) so it seemed the perfect time to read and review. I like this second chapter, it is a good companion to the first chapter and it has a clear difference in the 'voice' of the characters. I also liked the little glimpses into the characters you gave with such thoughts from Nico that he was glad that Dani couldn't look at him when she told a lie. I also liked the repetition of 'the L-word', kind of showing he's scared to even voice it to himself. And the ending works great; it's calm and accepting and leaves a little bit of hope. Very good!

You are very talented. I love this. Really I do. I can't wait to see more Necessary Roughness stories from you.

This is good! I like how you did both perspectives of it, makes it more believable...now, if only the writers could come up with an idea like this & kick Matt to the curb...

great can't expect more.

I do like your version, I'm dreading what they are coming up with when they return in November, more like it was nothing & she should be with Matt, who I dislike. :)

I hope to see more of your work. :)

I love your take on the story! Amazing job!

Beautiful and overwhelming.

I wasn't happy with how they built up to it on the show either. I'm such a Danico fan that I don't want him to be her rebound - they have way too much potential for greatness for that. I think I like your version better. Please continue writing it - I can't wait to see where you'll take it.

Hello :) I'm glad that your beta did get back to you. I think you did a good job using first person; it felt natural and let me a little into the mind of the character. The two characters that you write about here have warmth to them and I enjoyed reading about them, even though they're not known to me. So well done on that :) My favourite lines are the last few at the end. Just a quick question: what is a betta fish? I could use Google, but I thought I'd ask you ;)

I agree with the kiss feeling rushed on the show. I think they did that on purpose. It will give Dani and Nico a logical reason to back off and slow down. If she was over Matt completely there would a less compelling reason for she and Nico to go slow.

I like what you did here. The approach was different and I am looking forward to chapter 2
