....

....mind

blown

and you mentioned that he was a best selling novelist and your timing and word choices are ... perfect. Pretender Perfect. You're the best. Thank you so freaking much for writing and sharing. Wow. So much of the wow.

The resiling dear. Love! Congratulations!

I am so here for this novella Mirage. You snatched me by the collar with that opening and kept that momentum to leave me craving more. What did here sort of levels the field between the different generation s. Parker slipped and fell and Ethan and Jarod worry that Margaret will fall so that's not something that only happens to elderly people. Parker's internal conflict with her father's voice is stunningly on the nose. She's like no you won't reject me because I reject you and I hope she can find some peace in that. I think she has to reject her father and hold him accountable to be a good mum. All parents are going to make some mistakes I can attest to that. My heart beams when you I read that rejecting one's children is the parenting fail, not the small accidental mistakes or that a child is gay or transgender. So real and so raw. I love that Margaret is the mom worth looking for and finding. What I love most is that Jarod loves it Parker and that part about his letters, Parker tracing his words with her finger and his words stinging her fingers. We don't need to know what he said just her reaction, the stinging, and this chaos and pain in her mind and heart says it all. I love how you tied his being a best selling novelist into his writing letters to her and that continuity you give us.....oh, I sooo adore this. Best thing I have ever read. Thank you so much!!!

my review got cut off... Avery is a handful. What an intelligent and compassionate child she is! I love how Jarod was suddenly like sure calculas. anything but suturing. Margaret was perfect. I love that she wants to be Avery s grandma too. I'm glad to see Jarod finally realizing the damage he's done. I think parker would be scared to lose him again and for real.. he's an agent that's dangerous. this was a beautiful chapter and I'm so addicted. more?

Please update all of your stories.

OH. MY! GODD!

Is Parker playing hard to get? She should continue. It's driving Jarod nuts! He deserves it!!!

Seriously tho I think he's right. She is hurt, doesn't trust him. She's DEFO afraid to get hurt again. That means she loved him so much. It means that Jarod knows that Parker loved him so much. She knows that he knows. He knows that she knows that he knows. OMG. The shipper feelzgood. I need more. NOw.

Bravo! I'm thoroughly thrlled by the evolution of thsee characters and how you've brought them into this decade, this modern world with its sundry issues. You write them exceptionally well. I've never seen them written as well and I've read the novels. You know what that means. I know you don't want to hear it but you should be participating in the novel writing. You have a clear direction, the characterizations, and continuity all of which are key to superior story telling. Character placement. You excel at all of those. On top of all that you write out of this world amazing. Are you sure you don't have an editor? You transition seamlessly. Your word choices are brilliant. You know how to advance a story, how to open the chapter and close it in a way that keeps the reader wanting more. Most importantly you KNOW this series. You know everything about it. There are important plot points that I forgot all about. You build on an existing foundation. Except for Devil's Advocate which was alternate universe but even that was a similar premise... had to be similar because it was for this series of course. Please don't be mad or upset when I compliment you. I've given you the reasons why you should be writing the novels. That's reasonable I think and hope. I'd love to read more when you choose to share it with us. Thank you for writing. Congrats on another terrific chapter.

Ciao!

More. You got this!

Yay!! Parker did accept Jarod's invitation! I had hoped she would. I love the little evasive game she's playing. She doesn't give away anything except for that one little moment when she comforts him by touching his hand. Ooh!! Uh-uhhuh!! Mirage. You are the crack cocaine of fiction and I'm jonesing for another hit already. Hook a sista up.

"That sounds NOT fun" I laughed out loud at that and it's inappropriate laughter but I've been doing that often. She is a victim of Centre tinkering, Eli is proof of that, and was a Centre prisoner and everything she's gone through she finds out Jarod is a victim specialist. I know it must feel to her that the roof caved in with that news from Jarod but she handles it well and goes on acting like everything is fine. Amazing! I love it.

Don't stop now.

Please!!

Write. Write!!!

Jarod is getting no answers from her and that's what he gets for letting her think he's dead. She is hurt and I don't blame her. Discussing kindness and babies in cages right now and what the US has done... this is a conversation these two would have in our world right now and Jarod is right and how touching and plausible that Parker reached for him when he got passionate about it, probably thinking of his son and Avery and all childrren really because he is Jarod and that's what Jarod does. He feels things so deeply. So does Parker. I love this. I love you for addresssing the messed up stuff going on. Wrong is wrong no matter who does it and that includes what's going on at the border. It's wrong. It just happens the US is wrong this time. LIke Germany was wrong once upon a time. Keep writing please. MOre of this.
