Kirkland took a weird cocktail of drugs and alcohol. He's stressed and seems genuinely concerned. You assure us he's the good guy in this and I thank you for that. The Italian island is beautiful. Your descriptive work is spot on. I can tell you're a traveler. Justice is hard to find. The world is darker than ever now. I like how Jarod wanted to let the death go and then couldn't. I like that Jarod took care of her, that Parker chose to go to him. The writing continues to be consistently brilliant.

This is one of the best stories I've ever read. The Italian haunted island idea is intriguing. I searched online and it really exists and is like you described it. The way you write is amazing. You describe things so easily it seems. You talked about the earth reclaiming and you've become the authority on these characters. Please continue and please tell me Jarod will find Parker again alive.

Mirage YOU never disappoint. You're a wordsmith. So eloquent. Rarely do I see quality and quantity exist together at the same time but you've achieved both with your body of work! How do you get these characters so pitch perfectly in character while managing to be succinct and plausible? I can see that you're naturally talented and skilled. You've always been a brilliant story teller and you keep getting better and I keep wanting more. I will always be thankful to you for sharing your talents with us.

Bravo! I'm not a softy but I appreciate that they didn't have sex in this chapter. As much as some of us want the story to go in that direction and for Jarod and Miss Parker to grow closer and have sex again it's obviously complicated. Not to mention that she came to him battered and we know Jaord. He's relieved to see her alive and is feeling nothing else but that same boyish affection for her. He patched her up with a doctor's detachment.

I wouldn't have minded a detailed play by play of medical procedures but I know you probably don't care to do that and you have already in several other stories and you did it well. I know you're capable of writing him as a doctor and describing the medical procedures in detail. I think you probably prefer not to. Some of the ladies have an aversion to Jarod as doctor. Some of you have an aversion to Jarod in general but hey I'm not naming names.

Your indifferencence to, and maybe partial dislike of Jarod doesn't show in your writing fortunately. You are a savant and virtuoso. You know where to put the characters and you know where the plausibility limits are. You know when to give us the realistic hardcore sex scenes and you know when to pull back and let the situation be what it is and I'll stop there before my review begins sounding any more similar to that old Air Supply song lol. Things are complicated for Jarod and Miss Parker and that's what so many fans find intriguing about their relationship. It's been forbidden and strained but I hope they will have a semi happy ending. I like the direction and you haven't disappointed me yet.

I'm glad Kirkland was a good guy. Cuban cigars sounds like a nice retirement. Can I thank you for giving them quality dialogue that follows what we know from the series? I look forward to reading more. Until next time.

Parker's not the only one NOT exonerated if you're following along with real life lol and politics. Thank GOD you're taking my mind off the real life bs.

Things got really tense there when he asked about Dante and what was up with her lip? Is she hiding something from Jarod? I can't wait to see what the next chapter brings. Please continue.

No no of course Parker isn't going to do what Jarod told her to do. That's why I love her so much. But I love him too for caring about her. Oh Mirage you know exactly what you are doing. You know these characters so well. The idea of Jarod watching her sleep for so long .. so many shipper feels in my heart. He has to find her... alive please. Please?

Oh, I love how beautifully you write and all of the clever nuances. The characterisations are perfect and that dialog took me right back to watching the dvds in uni. I think Parker is hiding something. The lip twitch seems so telling. I had to read this twice to catch that part and now I'm wondering what she's up to. You always keep me guessing Mirage. They didn't have sex this time but that's ok with me. I trust you'll continue to do right by the series. I can't wait to read the rest.

Oh my god! The way Jarod was cynical that it was Parker that had been identified and then the way he rejected the truth and his expressions and mannerisms God. That's amazing writing Mirage. I love this fic and I demand more. Write young woman and please write quickly. Please.

After some years of lurking I'm finally reviewing. You capture the dynamics between all the characters better than I've ever seen done and you didn't stray from the original storyline. You provide the right amount of descriptions and details. I like the action, adverture, drama, mystery and even the romance I'm shocked to find. You write it well. I'm a guy and I like adventure more than anything and you bring it! That one chapter was spicy. I've read all of the smut in the world and have never seen the act of sex written the way you do. You articulate well and make the characters pop and put the reader in the room with the characters and I want your secret. I smiled when Jarod hinted at being a pretender with Miss Parker. It was out of concern and could be misconstrued as threatening or extortion, and by her it would be, but it was out of concern. He still walks that crooked line of wrongness but wrong for right reasons as he did in the tv series. You're a master at demonstrating that and showing us his humanity and his struggle to do the right thing or to have to do the wrong thing for right reasons.  You're one of those authors I will always come back to again and again to read and savor.
