Ok. First & foremost, I'm glad Neil didn't get the booty call. Horny or not, definitely not the way to start any kind of arrangement/relationship.

And... yes. I think Jenny made us wait too long for the hot sex. I'm happy to read more in the very near future!

Neil & Sophie, IMHO, are much healthier than a lot of the couples I've read. They both seem to be remaining their own person. Maintaining their own space.

I agree. I'm glad that the pair didn't get it on that first night. I liked their open dialogue. It's refreshing to have some honest communication. I adored how much Neil wants Sophie!

The sex was hot and I can't wait to see how "disturbing" they get!

First of all, I thought the sex scene was awesome and great.

That being said, I am kind of bothered by the whole Neil being married for two years, but how apparently he thought about being with Sophie "every day" for six years. When the conversation came up about why he got a divorce I half expected the answer to be because his wife figured out that Neil secretly had sex fantasies about another woman every single day that they were dating/engaged/married. I don't know, I would be pretty upset if I found out my boyfriend was secretly obsessed with another woman from a one night stand six years ago.

I agree in theory, Nicki, but I'm also a firm believer that it's completely probable to want and/or love two people at the same time. Having sexual fantasies about past partners is not at all uncommon, and I don't think it precludes most of us from having other relationships. Who knows why Neil got married? Perhaps it will be revealed later on, but if there was a connection with Sophie as strong as we're led to believe, it's completely plausible that Neil would think about her every day.

What I'm loving best about The Boss so far is that the characters are so real - flaws and all. I feel like I wouldn't be surprised if I ran into them on the street. Of course, if I did, I might be forced to drag Neil into the nearest alley. *Ahem*

The picture of Neil's divorce I am getting is he got to the point where he no longer wanted any more kids and the now ex married him on the misinterpretation that she could change his mind.

Sounds like another mixed signals and expectations that were never address fully before marriage and then were ignored for two years divorce.

I'm sure as we get to see Neil's more kinky side the subject of his ex will come again- because I think the "emotions of a toddler and libido of a 17yr old with no one telling him no" was probably used by an ex who couldn't understand what he was and or wasn't communicating as far as sex went.

I don't think they were compatible which brings back the question of why two incompatible people would marry each other but that mistake is all too common.

I knew I had to release chapter 5 and chapter 6 at the same time, or risk grievous bodily injury, LOL!
