LOVE THIS! Miss Parker a step ahead even though Jarod's access wasn't revoked, doing something she couldn't, destroying something that shouldn't have existed, stopped something that shouldn't have been stopped. I love how she tells Broots bout Lily...so glad that poor child wasn't raped. What I didn't expect was that stunning conclusion of this chapter that blew my socks off. Mirage this was freaking brilliant. I'm trying not to share you on twitter and facebook cos I know you don't want the attention but gahhhh you deserve it. I'll heed your wishes if it means more frequent updates and not just frequent but brilliantly written and sooo perfect. More please? Need details on where they go when they leaves. Juicy.

Uh oh they are getting closer! I can tell it. OMG! Please make it so. You write everything out of this world amazing and you excel at writing sex. No one can hold a candle to you. if they don't have sex tho I won't be mad or anything. There's always Sweet Dreams and Transcendence to reread. Sigh. More please. It's so wonderful to have you back and as proficient as ever!

Ooh, this is getting interesting. So like MP to assert herself and I love her for it. She's a champion for women. I can tell you are too.
The power struggle is to be expected I think and they do it so well. I love that ending. What are these two going to get up to in the work place?
More please?

Oh, you'll find out when you read the new chapter. Thanks for the R & R, Christoph.

Thank you for filling in the missing piece for us. Somehow Mirage I knew you'd believe it was Jarod. Rope placement? Ahh Mirage he isn't bad. It was her decision to pursue him wasn't it? It really wasn't her idea though but that's not Jarod's fault either. I can understand your mixed feelings about Jarod but not many people are willing to see his faults and even fewer people want more accountability. You don't seem to struggle to show both sides with fairness. Your writing as always is stunning. I eagerly wait the coming chapters. Until next time..
Author's Response:
Ha. No, of course Jarod's not bad. He's just misunderstood. Uh-huh. If you say so. The truth is the truth. It is what it is regardless of our feelings or fairness. Anyway. Thanks for reading and your review. It's awfully kind of you.

A new story and a new chapter! You're on a roll and I hope you'll keep going. Are you ready to be done writing? Don't finish too soon. I could read you forever and I want to. I love your work. Thanks for all you do.
Author's Response:
Oh, yes. I was ready to be done writing the moment I began. I won't complete this too soon (not soon enough). Thank you so much for the generious review and for reading. This fandom is filled with the kindest people.

WOW! Ok so one of my favorite things about Miss Parker is that she'll be so bad ass but every once in a while she'll become so freaking maternal and protective and reveal herself. She did it with Debbie when she threatened to kill Broots if he didn't love her always or something. She did it with Angelo a couple of times. She did it with Broots when she threatened to kill Brigitte if she ever messed with "HER" idiot lol. She even slipped and did it with Jarod once when she was afraid Barttlett would kill Jarod. I love that she can be passionate and that means I love love love that she was protective of this girl the Centre had locked up. Even though she seems to trust Jarod she will fight for another sister. You show her fighting for women so many times. Thank you for this. Thank you for not just entertaining but informing. Eloquent writing as always.

Ok so you are like totally still writing this and all your wonderful novellas and novels. I'm so in love with your style, your prose, your wit, character development, characterisations, the way you flesh out the characters and stay honest to the original series, the dialog because these are intelligent people and should speak so, the descriptive work and plotting. The only thing I don't like is that Jarod and Miss Parker aren't having sex already. All of the other makes this one little thing forgivable. ;) Do post more as I love it. I keep rereading that last line. Jarod loathing safety for the first time in his life. Please I hope it means what it seems to mean. ;)
Author's Response:
I'm afraid it means precisely what you're thinking it means, Kayla. That whole 'Miss Parker and Jarod aren't having sex already' thing is no longer a thing. I hope it's readable. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

I've went away angrily for a while because the disappointment of those novels saving luke and those others ones but Mirage you yank me back. I want to hate this fandom sometimes but then I think of you. I get curious like about what you're up to and can't stay away. You are addicting and these new chapters are amazing. Let them act on their feelings please. You don't have to get them married with forever but it would be a shame to leave the sexual tension unrelieved. Please. Please? I'm thinking about you and your arm and hope you get better. Don't hurt yourself again. We need you. I want you to know that Circles of Hell is my official ending for them but I'm always interested to see alternative endings from you. :)

LOVE that Miss Parker isn't mincing words with Jarod and that the sexual tension is stunning to her. I laughed at her inner thoughts and the "it could have been Broots" and her comments about sexual harrassment in the work place lol. Great job Mirage. And you're doing this with an arm on the mend and the haze of painkillers. Amazing. Be careful with those pills and get well soon.
Reviewer: Renee Collins Anonymous [Report This]Date: 11/03/18 09:44 pm
What on earth happened to your arm? Now of all times when your Muses are definitely on a roll. Or is that why? Oh.. you've been in bed rest and that's why two updates last time? If you had more time to do nothing but write...imagine that! I could just read you all the time Mirage. I love both of these new chapters and do appreciate the hard work and your dedication to writing good quality fiction. You're still the Queen of fiction!! The King... is Stephen King. You are thankfully not as a slow to coming to a point as he is. Amazing what you've accomplished here. Is love in the air Mirage? Or just sexual tension? I hope Jarod and Miss Parker will act on their feelings. They're adults. I feel an ending coming on too and that makes me sad. But I know you'll end it well. You always do. More please?
Author's Response:
I believe I had a tight muscle issue that instigated a nerve issue (still a better diagnosis than the one I paid a "doctor" for) and after spending hundreds of dollars at a "doctor's" office and a week in rather impressive pain, I implausibly found a fix online at yahoo answers (I know).
Ah, yes, I love Stephen King. I love his style. We'll have to see what happens next with Parker and Jarod. The ending is coming. I wish I had your faith in me. I'll find a way to screw it up. Don't worry. I always do. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Leslie.
Reviewer: Leslie Signed [Report This]Date: 11/03/18 02:46 am
Did not expect to see Jarod waltz into the Centre like that. WOWSA. Hell of a twist. speaking of twist... um someone with that username twisted seems to have cursed you on the shout box or something. I guess because you were injured and unable to type? But I'm still here and still loving your writing.
That was a good save by Jarod. She doesn't know that he knows about the miscarriage. I love how honest they are being now, like they've cut the shit and forgotten their pride finally. SHe was trying to defuse the tension by saying it would have been Broots or Sydney she proposition but it's Jarod who can become THomas and it's Jarod now that she's attracted to... this sexual tension.
OHHHH! What I need right now is more Mirage. MORE. Will Jarod and Miss Parker act on the sexual tension that is always always always interrupted and unresolved? The time is right right now. They need to have sex more than any couple and especially HER. It's been since THomas for her. OMG> Please. Give it to us.

OW. I hope your arm is okay. Sounds like a real bitch... and still you update for us because you love us so much. I love you too Mirage and thank you. I was confused when I read chapter 18 and had to go back and then I saw you had updated two chapters at once. Impressive writing. I will still give you two reviews for two chapters since it is our only currency system. ;) Jarod's gonna get a distraction..I know because I read ahead. Love this story.
Reviewer: Christoph Signed [Report This]Date: 11/03/18 01:20 am
Please tell me that you will finish this? I was going to wait until it was finished but it was there and so tempting. I have to say again how much I love Transcendence but mostly because I don't have to worry that it won't be finished. I have so much anxiety about this. This is wonderful. I knew it would be after reading Transcendence. You bring the characters to life. So amazing. I want to know how it will end. Please hurry and write quickly. Lots of love and light *Bows*
Reviewer: Kayla Signed [Report This]Date: 27/09/17 12:12 am
Oho! Mirage. The FBI is involved. Finally. I love Jarod's concern and that the Detective and Agents are eavesdropping. Rachel knows the truth now, the truth that Jarod cares about Parker. Extremely well done of course. I enjoyed the way Parker called out the FBI and informed that the government knows about the Centre. She's a no bullshit kind of woman. This is lovely. Please continue.
Reviewer: Contessa Signed [Report This]Date: 26/09/17 02:57 am
Ohhh! Mirage. Eloquence and intelligence. Always mature. I love your writing style and the plot and story. Your descriptive work remains unparalleled and the characterisations.. Oh I know you'll be angry but ONLY you can write the characters the way they were on the dvds so that I can recognize them. Just....... amazing. Please write more.

Ooooooh holy moly. I LOVE your Detective Brandt. You have a knack for creating brilliant relatable fully developed characters and developing the ones we already know and love so much. Please don't kill your darling Mirage and please don't kill OUR darlings Jarod and Miss Parker. Brandt was perfect and played it true. The way he theorized and had Rachel leave. Her past fury was televised so the sweepers know all about her burns-white-hot loathing for Jarod. They don't know that Brandt and Malone talked sense into her. Just... damn, girl. Damn, girl. You are pretty freaking amazing. I wait for eagerly for more. Oh and I love Etta James.

Congratulations on another chapter down. I know you curse the Muses sometimes but Mirage you are talented, gifted with the writing skill and you should be writing the novels. But I'll tell you what. I'm glad you're not in some ways. Because I prefer your style (the novels and episodes seem so worlds apart and your writing seems in perfect step with the episodes the original storyline) and because you can write more than one story, more than one ending and they are all plausible and pretender perfect. So keep writing m'dear. Come to twitter and play with us sometime.

Coming on pretendercentre.com and finding an update from Mirage always makes me smile!
Another great chapter in another great story. As I have previously stated no one writes Miss Parker and Jarod like you do and that includes Steven and Craig!
As always thank you for writing AND updating as frequently as you do!

Whoow. Miss Parker's feathers were a little ruffled by the FBI and Det. Brandt. So brillianty done. I like that there are no cat fights. Rachel seems to have calm downed thank goodness. She can blow a fuse has done so on the Profiler but I do like her and I like that you are keeping with the over all feel of both series. You are true to characters in a way that makes me envious. I want more. I'm wow-ing over here. Do keep sharing with us. Gotta have my Mirage/Pretender fix.

YESSS! Mirage where the hell have you been girl?! I need your updates. I've had to go back and read everything you've written again. I hope Jarod and Missy's luck doesn't run out. The way Brandt handles that at the end... telling Rachel to stomp off lol was amazing. And lazy hyenas... they do that will totally mob the lions and steal the carcass and the Centre sweepers would do that too. You nailed Rachel and Malone. Are you haven't binge watched The Profiler? I love how Rachel was trying to figure it all out and understand the connection between Jarod and Miss Parker. And Etta and Merle Haggard ringtones...LOVE! Girl give us more and please do it soon. Update The Return too willya? Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Reviewer: TheDarkAngel Signed [Report This]Date: 22/09/17 04:47 pm
Love that punch out ending and the amazing beginnings...all so amazing. The way you write. You got that something that makes writers writers yknow. I like the way Parker jumps on his a$$ for being stupid. Drinking and swimming. But yeah his mom died and we all know how hard he would take that. I love their back and forth. I love that she called him a liar when he said he would leave her alone. That man can't leave her alone. I think it would kill him not to pester her lol. I like they travel everywhere when you write them, that you've always had them global. So are you much of a traveler yourself? I'm thinking you have to be! Anyhoo. Give us more. I love your writing. I'd love it more if you'd write the together. You know. A little hanky panky?
Author's Response:
Thank you, Jen. No, I don't think Jarod could ever leave her alone.
And no, I never traveled much. I eschew travel: I haven't seen an airport in years. I walk or cycle when possible, and consolidate trips if it isn't. I want the smallest carbon footprint (this is the only time size matters!). Admittedly, it's not easy to stay in one place and travel vicariously through characters (at least I don't have to unpack). Speaking of characters: hanky panky? Ah! You want Parker and Jarod to have sex? Don't you? Tsk-tsk.
Haha. We shall see.
Reviewer: Jen Signed [Report This]Date: 06/12/16 02:15 am
Yeah I didn't like that Jarod set her up with Thomas and especially when Tommy was all like "fate" and stuff lol. But it's so like Jarod to try to distract her but I guess he didn't realize what he was doing getting drunk and going off. Funny they keep winding up together like on the show. I love your writing. It's just like watching an episode of The Pretender, but maybe you are better. Very sad chapter but Margaret wasn't looking so good and all the years of being on the run and being afraid aren't easy for an elderly woman I'm sure.
I love that Misss Parker called Jarod a liar there at the end, meaning he lied when he said he'd never bother Miss Parker again lol. We all know he can't stop bothering her. Bothering Miss Parker is what J-man does best. You did this nicely without being too cheesy or making Miss Parker too coddling with him. You kept her in character. You always do. More please. Soon.
