I've stopped reading books when dialogue didn't sound realistic. And aren't we told the hero and heroine must grow in the story or the book doesn't work? So, yeah, I'm all for your guy Jed. And having read your work in the past, I know he'll find his way.Ashantayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16122891967983778466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-82527117009494772712016-03-18T13:03:12.410-04:002016-03-18T13:03:12.410-04:00Jed felt very real to me.

I like Jed! He's a great character. I like the way you're developing him from care-a-little to care-a-lot. Although I have wanted to shake him in a scene or two. :-) Heroine Claire is doing a good job of rattling his status quo.
