WOW! What a chapter! Is he or isn't he? Which Jarod is which. I'll be waiting with baited breath to find out!

Thank you for updating this as well as all of your stories. I love coming on site and finding Mirage updates!

And thank you for keeping Miss Parker, Jarod and the whole Scooby gang alive!

Squee!! You are still writing! OMG. I'm so glad. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. I love how you write these characters and how the story flows so nicely and yay no bogging down in too many details. I was afraid you were done but no you just have some real life keeping you from us and it's ok totally you are worth the wait. Thank you!!!

Wow.

Wow! Wow is all I've got baby. It's so strange that you put me the reader IN the story and the way you flesh out the characters is wow! I'm blown away. I love your writing style and the story. I'll be waiting impatiently.

Just when I thought it couldn't get bettter............it gets better. I'm over here hanging on your every word and clutching my couch pillows. I'm so scared that there was foreshadowing??! and Jarod was warning her and kept trying to get her to stay somewhere safe and in the end he's going to be right and she's going to be killed oh please say it ain't so Mirage. I have never wanted to be so wrong in my life.

"Post-coital pastries" y'all! Hell yes! They didn't get to eat!! Arghhh! You're a breath of fresh air Mirage. You are always worth the wait. I can just imagine the truckers and early risers flipping Parker off when she cuts red lights lol. You capture the characters like no one else can. So much suspense. I hope Broots and Syd are ok and why I do feel like you're about to kill Jarod off. Ummm both Jarods. I'm seriously jonesing for more of this. Congratulations on another chapter down and damn woman I don't want this to end. I will always remember this story and won't ever forget the part where Jarod chanels Ricky Ricardo with that 'honey I'm home' line. Genius. You're a freaking genius!

Exquisite as always Mirage. Your prose is outstanding and your word choice is stunning. You're a wordsmith with the rare gift of timing, talent, and knowing the characters and where to put them. They are never more in character than when you write them (or the actors play them on dvd). I'm thrilled that you wrote them not only having sex but also taking that extra step and letting them be intimate and I bet you fought the Muses all the way didn't you? Thank you for letting the Muses lead on this one. I can't even tell you were uncomfortable at all. You let Jarod say what needed to be said. I'm impressed. I'm always impressed when I read you. Continue the good work please. I feel guilty for asking you to write for us when I know you could be publishing work and rolling in cash. Maybe you can make time for both?

Until next time...

WOW! Just .... there are no words! It has to be Jarod because... ummmmm..... the 'hell of an understatement and all the 'may I?' kindness consent seeking sweetness. No one else could pull that off. I could see how the imposter could have been there and with the hotel/condo mix up... oh god Mirage please make it be Jarod.  But... she and Jarod have never.... but the way you brought them together and ... yes it has to be Jarod. It HAS to be him. Please.

I love how Thomas is honored here. She did really love him and was willing to give it all up for only Thomas so yes yes yes it would hard to have someone make love to her after Thomas. But yes yes yes Jarod would understand that he loves her like Thomas loved her because Jarod loves her and that's why Jarod sent her Thomas and he and Thomas are alike... not many material things, not being duped by her father's BS. Thomas was so like Jarod. I love that you realize how much Parker and Thomas loved each other and stay true to the original storyline and canon. Ohhhh thank you so very much Mirage for this, for all the stories, for continuing to breathe life into this old dear series.

Damn!

You are the Queen of the mind fuck! Which one is Jarod and which one the imposter!? Personally I prefer to think the one WITH miss parker is the real Jarod. Although if not then you will have to eventually write another sex scene with the REAL jarod! And you (or your muse) are so good at that.

As always I love the way you write! Both Jarod and Miss Parker as well as your original characters. Not to mention the style, pace and suspense of this story.

Thank you for the frequency of your updates! For not abandoning us to forevermore wondering 'what is going to happen'. Thank you for pretty much single-handed keeping the Pretender alive for all of us!

Holy mother of God! Mirage! Your writing blows me away! Now after all of that epic sex and then 'it might not be sex because that might not be Jarod.' EVIL! You're more evil than Craig and Steve have ever been. And you're a genius. You are an evil genius! I can't stop reading this. I do appreciate the clarification.

But back to the sex... mindblowing is right! Had to change my panties lol. I love that Jarod in all his tenderness and sweetness wants to make love to her but I totally see why she'd want Thomas to be the main memory of love making. It's like with the gift her mom gave her that Debbie found and we find out Parker doesn't want to open it because there'd be nothing else for her mother to give her and yeah as tore up as Parker was over Thomas this is not just plausible but canon. We never see her hook up with another man after Thomas and Jarod didn't do anything but keep her busy looking for him.

I love their inner thoughts. I really hope she was with Jarod and not the imposter. I have a feeling you're about to end this one and I'm going to miss it but I can't wait to find out who she was with and how this will end. You always keep me guessing. More soon please?

You always yank me back into this fandom it's so funny. I can't escape. I love your writing and I love what you have written here. THey are so perfect. The sex was so nice. The way Jarod struggled to stay in control and take off that edge first and then have sex with her. I love what you did. They just had a bad day.. a really bad coupla days and she was probably still thinking of Lily and so crazy stressed. He would never want to hurt her so... yes. I love it. Beautiful. This was perfect. One thing.. he was in a hotel in chapter 20? That's the only thing I notice that might be a typo. I still love it. It hardly matters at all.  Bravo Mirage.

You've missed your calling. You could write or direct in the porn industry! You are certianly a better 'romance ' writer then Jarod! :)

I've said this before but I really do appreciate how you both update existing fan fiction and write new ones. You are definetly the most prolific writer on this website.

Thank you as always for keeping Miss Parker, Jarod and the rest of the Scooby gang alive and well.

I can't even... I have no words. Oh My God. Please more of this and please give it quickly.

I totally mangled my review. Should read.. "doing something HE couldn't, and stopping something that should NOT have been started." What I tried to say is that Miss Parker did the RIGHT thing is what I meant by ruining the embryos and I'm glad Jarod didn't freak and didn't give her the moral song and dance. Oh and this line.. "You never confirmed" and Jarod saying "Is that an invitation?" HOT. Love that Miss Parker was speechless. HOT stuff Mirage.
