I Admit It
I've become a big Tanya Allan fan. Since you started posting your stories here, I've searched out your stories on other sites and read pretty much everything of yours that I could find. While you generally leave an opening in your endings to provide for a sequel, it seemed that Monique (as posted on Sapphire's Place) still had some more to go (in the current story)at the end of Ch. 25. So, I'm glad that you are updating the story and adding a chapter.
Please continue the story
I enjoyed reading this story originally on Sapphire's web site, and I'm glad to hear that you are adding a new chapter. I hope you will further continue and finish the story. Your stories were the among the first TG fiction that I read, and you are one of my favorite authors.

Wow
Wow I am sure glad that you brought this story here from Sapphires Place. I just wish that you had brought more at one time then what you actually did. This is an amazing peace. I know English and English are completely different but I get confused sometimes when you spell such words with the letter s instead of the letter z. For example realise your way realize our way in America. I also love that picture that you use in with the intro.
Yes, please extend the original story
Tanya,
I have read the previous version a couple times and I'm thoroughly enjoying it again. I couldn't tell which parts you have improved; I'll take your word for it. The story flows well and is as plausible as anything I like to read, the dialogue sounds natural, and there's just the right mix of TG and complications. Don't remember the old version as noticeably worse.
Doesn't hurt one bit that the protagonist is competent, fluent in many languages, blonde, and is named Monique :-)
- Moni (French is my fifth language; English is third).
It's a girls' world; we just let boys live in it.
Ditto, do continue Monique if you can, Tanya PLOT SPOILER!
There are at least three unresolved plotlines.
PLOT SPOILER< KIND OF
One is the Sandhurst graduation and their marriage.
Another is a possible visit to her sister and niece long promised but never done.
The biggest by far is the *bent* US major they want her to investigate and the links to the terrorist who helped kill her father.
It might be nice to hear briefly from the wounded agent and the woman police officer but they are lesser concerns as is the sister. But the sister was all but written out early on so may be worth revising. Is Monique a one-off or is there a lot of her in her sister? It seems to me that Monique is the best qualities of her dad and mom but with her own talents as well.
Thanks for cleaning it up and posting here, Tanya.

A lovely start... Thank you, Mary.
Keep it going please....
I have read this story a few times at Sapphire's and vote whole-heartedly for some more chapters. The updates I picked up on really do help the characters get going.
Thanks for the great stories,

Difficult
Difficult to keep finding superlatives for your stories. This was always one of my favourites (daft really, as I don't have any 'un-favourite Tanya stories').
If you've tweaked it all and extended it then I say a resounding "please keep going" as I'm always intrigued to see where your muse leads you next. Mine manages to lead me to a rubbish dump via a minefield.
We can't be good at everything; I just wish I knew what I was good at (apart from sleeping and enjoying retirement, that is!)
Susie
Yes, what, are you daft?
Of course it needs to be continued. (Wink)
High intrigue and a tiny bit of action make for an enjoyable plot.
Hope to see more soonish..

Write the story that you most desperately want to read.
What a blessing, another
What a blessing, another great story from Tanya Allen. Just in these few short chapters, you have certainly piqued my interest and whole hearted attention. Waiting for more to read. J-Lynn
More Monique, Please!

No matter how many times I read this story, the ending always catches me out as it seems to stop so abruptly. Even so I enjoy it very much and would definitely welcome more adventures for Monique.

Hi Tanya
I really just had to say thank you for yet another wonderful story.
I have been on extremely enjoyable highs and lows with your works for a good few weeks now, since you started re-posting here.
You have a very enjoyable style and I'm looking forward to so much more.
Keep it up

But you sort of promised me...
Tanya,
When we first talked about how great this story was, you told me then that you intended to write some sort of sequel to it. And that was years ago.
Have we gotten so old we no longer remember things?
Bright Blessings.
Others have said previous Tanya stories were their favorite
I may have even said it myself, but this is the one that stuck hardest, for me.
Not that I've ever read a bad Tanya Allen story, but Monique is a tough and fun cookie.
YES, please let us know what happens next. Of course,m I could say that about a lot of your stories, Tanya.

Oolala!
This is such a wonderful treat. I'm enjoying it very much.
I love the sprinkling of French throughout. Someday I'd love to learn the language. It's so beautiful, even merde sounds wonderful in French. *sigh*
Monique is a great little heroine, and she seems wise beyond her years so I think she'll be okay. I shall find out. Right?
The writing is very good and the story flows like hot fudge over ice cream -- very smoothly. :)
Thanks very much for this story.

I really, really love this
I really, really love this so far...as in I can't wait to read the next!!
Thanks for your beautiful story telling, it is so real.
Hugs,

I remember this story from a while back, but I don't recall it being this good! I enjoyed it then, but I'm enjoying it a great deal more the second time around!
Thanks for revisiting this story!
