Reviews for "Trust To Hope"

I feared at first that this might turn out to be a 'fabio' romance story, with a hulking hero and a boxomy, fiery lass and then softened when you wrote Eomer far above the annoying male behaviour found!

Thank you for centering a story around for such an underrated and under-appreciated character, and I did love the time they had together much more when she was only Ani and he a marshal still. Love the sexual tension, especially the times before they kiss - the night ride at Minas Tirith was overwhelmingly romantic, methinks. ;-D

Can't wait to see what else happens!

I loved the "trust to hope" comment...that was excellent! I've followed this from the beginning and have loved every word of it. I always get excited when the email from Open Scrolls comes telling me that there is a update for "Trust to Hope". The heck with everything else...I'm coming to read the story. I love how the tension is building between Eomer and Ani. The "smack" definitely added some heat...well done!

I respectfully disagree with the comment that this story is draging along! Totally disagree. I think its faithfully following the movie/books and that the author has taken the time to develop the relationship between Eomer and Ani in brillant detail, so that we get a very good sense of who Eomer is. In the movies, all he mostly does is look good and kinda glare at everyone. This is the first time I've read any fanfic that made me feel that I could "see" him with Ani, and now he has become so much more that just a pretty face. And Ani... she's shown here to be spunky and bright and funny, and very brave. All of which are good traits in women in general. Besides, every story has to have a villian, and Fenwick has to be introduced and shown to be the cad he really is. So, I disagree that the story is draging... I think the author has brought us into this world of Ani & Eomer and kept us her with superior storyline.

I'm sure there are thousands of sites out there that offer short stories for those who require them.

I, for one, am eagerly awaiting more!

Thank You,

Filler? Is that what you called this? No matter. I loved it too. I also beg to differ with the "dragging" part. Eomer and Ani's lives are being played out for us...this is not a "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" story...your giving it all to us which I think is great. You keep right on, Nove. Whether its 5, 15 or 50 chapters...whatever it takes...I want more!!!

YAY! And remember, no chapter is a filler. Loved every sentence of it, and can't wait for more! Smile smiley face

If you consider that a filler, then I want more fillers! Good chapter (as always)! My curiosity is piqued concerning Cam and Amrothos...

I am trying VERY hard to find the constructiveness in Jenapotumus' last review. There is not anything remotely constructive, therefore I feel she has a short attention span and is trying to blame the author. Evil or Very Mad smiley face

There is nothing - to me - more irritating than a story that wraps up with - they went to bed, got married, had babies and lived happily ever after. Real Life isn't that way. There is so much to Eomer's and Lothiriel's relationship and to try to wrap up the story to 'get it over with' would be a crime. JRRT gave us SO little to go on and I agree this particular pair should not be ignored or glossed over.

Besides, Eomer is SOOO hot... others might not be able to take the heat, but boy howdy - I'm enjoying it!

Just finished chapter 23 and I had to tell you how much I loved it! I loved the sparing match involving Cam and watching Amrothos get jealous. So much like a real guy I would have laughed had I been there!

And the redhead at Theoden's funeral was a great nod to your Fear No Darkness story. I enjoyed that story alot also, it gave Theoden such life... thinking that he was a man who had someone to love, made me feel a bit more compassion for him.

Thank you again for a great chapter.... I'm patiently awaiting the next one.

When did you say that might be?

Okay, if Eomer were to say, kick Fenwick down a flight of stairs, would that be enough "determination"? Oops, did I say that out loud? I liked seeing the further endorsement by Galadriel, and that she's on to Fenwick! I can't wait to see how the tables will be turned on him, and how his associations will betray him.

Like the previous reviewer, I noticed the brief appearance by Theoden's long-time love from your other story- that's a nice touch. I wonder if she'll ever become known to Ani.

I love the whole breakfast scene and the interplay between the characters. You really get to see their personalities very clearly. I love the quip about Ani being able to pull her weight because there's so little of it- a very brotherly kind of tease! Eomer is just so charming, and able to walk a fine line between chivalrous and scandalous without offending anyone. He appears either gallant or flirtatious, depending on the moment. Meanwhile, Fenwick comes across as either too prim or too pompous, depending on the moment!

I like that Cam got a moment to show off for the crowd and flirt with a handsome Rohirrim! Hopefully, Amrothos won't need that shovel! I think it's time for him to make his intentions towards Cam clear!

I'm looking foward to the next part, of course! Why do I think those secret passages will have some significance later? Twisted Evil smiley face

Cheers,
