Arrgggh even the first line is like real, professional novel writing. Girl you rock! I love that MP is giving Jarod a taste of his own medicine. He doesn't seem to like it either lol!. Good for her. It's so weird that even though I've read this three times already I'm here reading it again when all I came back to do is review lol. You are so addicting.
Thank you.

Impressive Mirage. The internal war that Parker is holding within herself is reminiscent of what we see during the tv series and therefore plausible. You write these characters and define them exquisitely making them more real than they've ever been. In true Jarod fashion he remains candid, telling her that any apology would be dishonest. He's not sorry that he was able to provide her with the thing she sought. He gave her some enjoyment dancing with her. I don't think the twenty and thirty year olds would be attuned to her the way he is.
He also bluntly explains his pain to her, that she disappeared first. He leaves her with food for thought, getting in the last word as he did so many times during the series letting his emotions be known but not being unkind to her. It is painful that they are so obviously attracted to each other, that he knows what she wants. He can please her but she is so repulsed by him through not fault of his own because a part of him was stolen by the Centre and used to hurt her. It's a sort of paradox that is in line with the orginal story. She was attracted on the tv series but confused by her father's lies. It continues. The Pretender Still Lives. I thank you for that.

Trying to get my jaw up off the floor. Miss Parker trying to think of anything and not hear Jarod's words... Oh Godesses. Thank you for this.. for all of this. You are my favorite person and definitely my favorite author ever of all time infinity.

You already know you're amazing so ... what is there to say? I love it. Just when I think you can't shock me or get any better you do this. Bowing to you. I need more.

This tears at the heart. They were so close and now so conflicted and it's painful because you write so well. It's like feeling the emotions and watching an episode again. Do you binge watch constantly or what? Because I've never seen them so well written before. You really are good at fleshing them out. When Jarod talked about how she left him it broke my heart. You write him so well that I'm in awe sometimes. I can see there looking at her wishing for some understanding and for her to stop being so hostile. They care about each other and the world keeps separating them. I know you'll solve this for us all. Please? Thanks for writing and sharing your talents.
Thank you for answering my other review and everything you said. Though you didn't share your experiences you said the truth and said what I needed to hear. I love that you refer to blood relations as family of origin implying it's not the family we chose or the family we create for ourselves and doesn't mean they're good people or that they are allowed in our lives. I wish you could explain it to my egg donor to make her understand. But I guess you had the same problem? They don't have empathy. You're right. It helps to hear that it's not my fault. Your words *ARE* comforting. You've make a difference. Thanks for wishing me peace and hoping I'm healing. I am. I wish all the same for you. So much peace for you. You deserve it.

That last line. Mirage. You just get better and I keep wanting more and more. I love every word of this. I love the way Jarod turns it around. She left him first. He never ordered her out of his sight afterwards either. Cries! He still wants to believe her promise. I'm so devastated. Shout out to twitter readers. I'd never know you updated if they hadn't gone nutty with the tweets. Don't get too mad at them. ;) Keep updating please. I understand if life gets busy. You don't have to go fast but please don't stop.

I wish 'the Pretender' still existed as a TV show and that you were the head writer. Steven and Craig have failed to give us an ending but it doesn't matter because YOU are keeping the characters alive.
I love the way they dance around each other in this. They've been connected to each other since childhood and remain so like it or not.
I've stated this before but I really do appreciate how you write. Miss Parker and Jarod seem so real in your stories. So vivid. So complex.
Thank you for updating so quickly!
Author's Response:
Oh, Twisted, please don't give up on Craig and Steve. The Pretender (and these wonderful--and sometimes annoying--characters) is their creation and I have nothing but respect for the men and I hope we will one day read the official conclusion. We wouldn't be on this beautiful webpage right now if not for them. Novels are a bit more complicated than fanfic and more time consuming.
Miss Parker and Jarod are sorta dancing around this. They'll probably continue to do that for a while. Thank you for the kind words.
You are extremely kind and I do appreciate every review. I know people are busy and I appreciate that you take the time to read and share your thoughts. Thanks again for reading and reviewing.
