Isabel Archer asked Kristen Ashley:

Hi again, Queen. Normally I can't reread a book. Knowing what happens next detaches me. Rereading MM has broken this sucky curse! Thank you! On the first read I was deep into Tyra's POV and really experienced her uncertainty w/ Tack. Now that I "know" him, there are SO MANY latent nuances of wonderfulness I missed the first time. How'd you accomplish this? Also, @ what point does the red car become Tyra's in his mind?

Kristen Ashley It's a real honor that MOTORCYCLE MAN has broken through the no-reread curse! That's given Tack a good grin.

As for the nuances, my hope is that my characters are deep and rich, have history and baggage and hopes and dreams, strong personalities and they care about their relationships. So perhaps that's what gives the story "latent nuances of wonderfulness." I, obviously, think all my stories have a variety of latent, non-latent and shout-it-from-the-rooftop nuances of wonderfulness, so I'm not the one to ask. HA!

Last, you know, I've never been asked when Tack decided the Mustang was for Tyra. And to be honest, I'd have to reread the book (I haven't done a reread in what has to be years now! Whoa!) to answer. I'm so sorry. Though, because of that, YOU can decide when he decided. And I'm sure whatever you decide works. :-) xx
