Oh, this really is wonderful! I had tears in my eyes at the end and at times I laughed myself silly. Great story, really. The dynamic between Hermione and Snape is beautiful, and I loved Ron being so clever and nice. ^_^ Congratulations to such ne pne piece if work.

It just doesn't get any better than this. I am sated and replete. And, I am in awe of you. I wish I could write a review that would do you justice, sadly I am lacking the gift for such words.
Thanks once again for sharing your talents with the rest of us.

I loved this fic! It was well written and had an intriguing premise. I hadn\'t come across a Harry/Snape body switcheroo before. Thanks for the lovely entertainment! I love happy endings, too!

What a fantastic story! The plot is amazing, and I really like the part of Ron - not a stupid prat, but in the middle of the quiz game - and the part of Severus, the both having nearly a friendship. I feel very pity for poor Snape and all my compassis fos for torned Hermione.

OH MY GOD!!! You are a genius. I was first attracted to this fic because I had never seen a one with over one thousand reviews before. You deserve every last one and more. Your writing reminds me forcibly of Melanie Rawn. It\'s fabulous. Ok, enough of my blatherings. Keep up the good work.

I just wanted to let you know how much I LOVED A Terrible Temptation. I am fairly new to the genre, and up to the point where I began reading, I was still uncertain about my feelings regarding Snape and Hermione together. But by the gods, you managed to convert me. I was touched by the relationship in this story, from their somewhat questionable beginnings to the very sweet, very moving end. Your emotional range with the characters is absolutely remarkable, and the interaction between them utterly plausible. The love scenes at the end were amusing and sexy as hell without gushing or resorting to gross anatomy, which I am grateful for. Very tasteful, but never losing sight of the fact that it is, after all, sex. A well-wrought scene.
The battles played very clearly in my mind as I was reading with a vivid fluidity that I found amazing, and the loss of life dealt with in such a way as to be emotionally jarring, but not maudlin. Very well done.
I also liked the fact that you made Harry less than perfect, but definitely human. He wasn\'t a complete bastard because of a plot device, it was genuine circumstances that caused his behavior throughout. It made him seem more real, more three dimensional than many other stories that focus on Hermione and/or Snape. You didn\'t sacrifice one character for the sake of playing up another, and I applaud you. Ron\'s befriending of Snape was also fabulous, and completely unexpected as far as I was concerned. But once I read your interpretation of their friendship, I was bemused by how \'right\' it seemed.
The little interjections with the Animagus and Crookshanks was also fascinating, and I found myself wishing there was more about the felines that roamed the castle as I read about them. I\'m not suggesting cat-fics in the works, but it was written with enough perspective and depth that I longed for more. That is a good thing. =D
All in all, I enjoyed your work more thacan can say, and I thank you for the opportunity to spend a few hours in your world. It\'s been a real pleasure!

OMG! this was the best story! it seemed extremely accurate, and c to to the books. the depth that you put into Severus is extraordinary, and how Hermione thinks is very excellent! There were some part that left me teary, and then the odd time I felt, well, mildly pissed off at one character or another. Meh, in the end I was somewhat speachless because it was , and is, the best story! Yay you!
