Cassie has wanted Mike pretty much as
long as she can remember, but he has only thought of her as
a friend. The one and only time they kissed he told her it
was like kissing a kid sister. But Cassie wants more. Back
home after leaving Seattle for years, she is determined to
get her chance to be more than a friend to Mike, if only for
one night.
When Mike “rescues” her in his bar by
telling her mother that they are an item, Cassie realizes
that her chance has come. It’s either now or never. Now her
only problem is to convince Mike that he really does want
her.
Pretend You Love Me is another good story by
Stacia Wolf. I have read a couple of Ms. Wolf’s stories, and
I have always enjoyed each and every one. I love her
imagination and story telling ability as well as her knack
for putting her characters in situations that make me smile
if not laugh outright. I do have to say, though, that I felt
this story in particular could have done with some tighter
editing. Some of the situations seemed too contrived, or
perhaps it was that the ending could have come a bit sooner,
with fewer obstacles for Mike and Cassie. Too many people
kept too many secrets for too long for it to be completely
believable or likable for me. I think I would have enjoyed
the story more had it been shorter and without the added
drama of the side issues. I do, however, look forward to her
next offering. |
