Secrets of the night | Sid I love this title! It's so dramatic and mysterious. Very intriguing. And it fits in so well with the storyline, with Kid revealing the secrets of his past to Lou during the night. It's just a beautiful, creative title. |

Empty Arms | Kim
Roberts I love a story that tugs at the heart and Sunny's story did just that. Emptiness, grief and heartache are all described in two simple words. The title "Empty Arms" perfectly illustrates Lou's, or any other woman's, feelings upon suffering such a loss. |

Alter Ego | Lisa
R The idea of Kid having an unknown twin was one thing, but to have him be so evil and such a bastard is another and Joe truly was Kid's "Alter Ego". Connie didn't pull any punches with her title. She got right to the heart of the story and we knew from moment one that these two twins were nothing alike. |

There But For the Grace Go I | Beth
i really like this title because it fits the story so well. it shows how Lou was so close to suffering the same dreadful fate as the "unknown whore". and if not for the grace of god she probably would have. instead, she is happy in her life as an express rider, having found a family who loves her. but it really makes you think how close lou was - and maybe how close all of us are - to having that one event change the course of her life forever...and for the worst. |
| You Little Dickens! | Beth
This was a terrific story, and the title was perfect! Raye gave us all her very own TYR version of Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol" in this story. The title is great because it's sort of a pun on Charles Dickens' name and on the term someone might give an mischievous youngster. I love it! |

Honor Thy Father | Sid Talk about a title with some punch! I remember asking Lisa where the title came into play in the story, but she wouldn't tell me right away. When I finally came to the scene that revealed the reason, I was in shock. It's perfect! |
| The Streets of London | Laura The title might not stand out immediately to a reader, but the more you read of Sid's story, the more it makes sense. London is like a character all of its own in the story and the last line of the epilogue sets it all beautifully in perspective. |

Until We Meet Again | Lisa
R The style of the story first caught my attention - entirely told in letters between only Kid and Lou except for the prologue and epilogue, but it is the title that has stuck with me since. "Until We Meet Again" seems to be the perfect way to sign a letter to the person you love when you have made or asked for a promise like the one Kid and Lou have with each other. No matter how many words of love and pain and joy and sadness you write about, it all comes down to the same thing - when will we be together again? UWMA was a wonderful story and it did the title justice. |
| Fire and Ice | DCAmy To begin with the title gives a great visual image comparison of those two things. And then the way Starbright incorporates the title into the story and uses them as metaphors is such amazing creativity and writing |
