This review is just my humble opinion and is meant to be helpful, not discouraging.
I just took a peek at your images and signatures, and decided to take a peek at Pat's Poetry Parlour Image.
WHAT I LIKED:It has an old fashion feel to it. It reminds me of my childhood. Some good things along with some bad things.
The image matches the title quite well. The colors used are eye catching and appealing. The words stand out nicely against the background and do not block the image. The image is easy to see and I know what this signature is.
Great job.

I just took a peek at your contest page, Paradise Cove Writing Challenge.
WHAT I LIKED:The romantic picture at the top of the page. The dividers are nice, too. The larger font draws the reader‘s eye.
The rules are easy to read and understand. Due date is clearly posted. Word count is stated. Contest states whether you can write a new story or use an old tale. I wish the contest stated whether or not an entry can or can not be edited once posted. The prompt is displayed and easy to find. The contest tells the reader how to post her entry. The use of color on this page gave it some flare. The colors caught the reader’s eye and make things easier to find.
GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION: Seems to be alright.
Great job.

I just read your wee tale, Clowning Around.
APPEAL:Those who like to read about clowns.
WHAT I LIKED:That it holds my attention from beginning to end.

NAMES:Your title caught my attention and drew me in. It made me curious to discover what this was about.
FORMAT:This is easy to read and understand.
GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION:Seems to be alright.

I just read your wee chapter synopsis, The Dark lover.
Let‘s see that dark and stormy night. For example: The wind howled through the trees making them dance like demons in an uproar. Lightning races across the dark skies sending chills down my spine. You get the idea.
I found quite a few mishaps and it was easier for me to just show you the difference that a wee bit of editing can do.
Your version:

Chapter 1 Falling For You
It was a dark night and I was walking down the street wearing all black, my hair was as white as snow, and my eyes as red as blood. As I was walking I saw a book store it was over 300 years old it started when I was 5, but I could tell it change over the years. I walk in and sat in the coffee shop when all of a sudden I saw one of the girls working there almost fell. I use my super human speed to go to her and grabbed her. Her eyes were as blue as the Sarkashen sea, her hair as black as the night its self, and she was wearing black lip stick and eye liner. "Um mam, are you all right." I said in my British accent which sometimes got on my nearves.
"Ya I am now that you saved me."
I smiled at her. "My name is Gabryel what is yours?"
"Dorothy, but call me D. Every one does."
I smiled putting her down gently. "Well D be more careful."
One of her friends walked up and asked." Are you alright?" she asked.
"Ya, I am fine. Thank you."
She look at me with those blue eyes. I couldn’t help but smile. "So Gabryel why are you here to day?"
"I lived here a long time ago and I use to come here all the time, but so much has changed."
"Ya but it was a good idea to put a coffee shop in the book store don’t you think?" She asked me.
"I guess but it is different, much different." Her friend gave a strange look like she wanted us to be closer, that is when her friend asked me. "Hey me and D were going out to a night club with my boyfriend, do you want to be D’s date." D blush bright red. She had pale skin so it was obvious.
"Yes, I would be honored to." I said with a baw. (I don‘t sure what you mean with baw).
Chapter 2 Deadly dance
I sat alone getting ready for my date with D. I was wearing black dress pants and a white shirt with one button undone, showing my chest and I was wearing a black leather trench coat. I sat dawn looking up at my portrait and I smiled. "I am ready." As I walk to my car it’s a white Cadillac that I called daregist. (not sure with daregist is suppose to be) I got in and went to Ds address, that her friend gave me. As I pulled up in the drive way I saw D looking at my car she was sitting in the drive way. (this sentence doesn‘t make sense to me and I‘m not sure what it‘s suppose to say.) "Ha."
"Hello D, I hope you didn’t wait to long."
"No, I just came out.”
