Oh wow you do keep me surprised and happy. How in the hell do you write them ALL exactly in character all the time? Amazing as always. So good to see them ride off to the pastry shops together. Sounds happy to me. I love this and love you for writing it. Thanks a a gazillion! Congratulations 🎉 too!

"nothing if not metaphorical" oh my heart I 💕 love this.

"You must be a genius or something" lol love the light conversation. and Jarod s " but not the correct them" and the thought that they once planned so much and would say " can't go soon enough" to each other  oh they are so perfect together and it's so tragic.

oh so hot 🥵🤩 🔥 love the deets.

We are demanding fans! I love that they tasted each other although Jarod barely got a taste before things took a turn. In hindsight reading this is still exciting even though I know what will happen next..still suspense and that's powerful. I know why Parker reacted that. way now but still wish she hadn't... such a masterpiece!!

This dude is scary af. I remember being so creeped out the first time around. Poor Sydney. Poor poor Sydney. I was so worried the first run through. I'm still just as worried the second time through.

That's really Sydney's mum and pop and last name is Mikhail. Verrry good Mirage. So you do know how many psychiatrists it takes to change a lightbulb. You understood the assignment. Brilliantly done.

After all of the bickering and threats  Jarod tells her to lock the door. That's true love right there. I didn't catch that the first go around. THat's proof he loves her. Oh, Mirage. You always write something special and you write it exceptionally....just spectacular.

"If I'd only known you wanted to be submissive" When Jarod gets salty he gets extra salty.. and scary. Speaking of scary ... it's scary how in character the characters always are. Gotta love Broots here.

Scary darkness.  You write it all so well.

Whoa hold up. So... oh ohh. Yes! Jarod has always been so much like a father to her. A better one than Raines or Mr. Parker for sure. Oh, Mirage, my shipper heart just thumped harder. I love this. It is plausible. If Raines could manipulate puberty and it can be done according to my Scientist sis in law. She says it shouldn't be done. Not a fan of cloning either but with the funding and time it could be done. Amazing. You really make my brain work and do the thing no one else does. I love it.  I will go back and review chapters 1-18 because I owe you the reviews. I wonder if you provided foreshadowing in previous chapters. I LOVE this "helluva plot twist." Keep going. Tachy in the sheets .. that's Jarod. Love it.

This hit me directly in my eternally shipper soul. Love. Are you sure you're not a shipper? Super sure? More please? Cherries on top? You like cherries? With whipcream? Please?
