Hollywood and Vine Changes In the world of surfing, my name rose like a tide that never receded—Johnny Day. My reputation didn’t just drift in shoreline whispers or echo in the applause of competitions. Some days it felt etched into the tides themselves. The ocean seemed to recognize me, to shift and breathe in time with my presence. I wasn’t just another figure in California’s surf scene. I was the one the Pacific shaped itself around. Maveric

Thank you so much for this incredibly generous review. I’m truly honored by your words. Knowing you’ve read my other work makes your praise mean even more, and I’m grateful that this story resonated with you the way it did. From the first chapter to the last, I tried to keep the tone, pacing, and emotional thread steady, so hearing that the constancy held true for you is deeply rewarding. Readers like you—waiting for each new chapter, sharing your thoughts, and investing in these characters—are what make the writing worth every hour spent. I’m thrilled you’re looking forward to the next book. The journey continues, and I can’t wait to share what comes next. Thank you again for reading, supporting, and taking the time to leave such a thoughtful message.

I can hardly wait!

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. I’m glad the ending of Book One resonated with you. Louis’s return to France — and his father’s hard but necessary counsel — was meant to close his arc with a sense of humility and growth rather than simple defeat. And I’m especially happy that the recognition of our trio struck the right note. Their journey has been long, bruising, and deeply earned, so seeing the King bind them together as a true family under an Earl’s house felt like the right culmination for everything they’ve endured.

Thank you so deeply for such a generous and thoughtful review. It means a great deal to hear that the history, the language, and the small bits of old terminology added to your enjoyment rather than weighed the tale down. Watching these three grow into a true family has been one of the most rewarding parts of writing this story, and I’m glad their bond spoke to you. As for what awaits them… there are indeed surprises ahead, and their path will not be a gentle one. I’m already shaping the next tale, and I’m excited to share where their journey leads when the time is right. Thank you again for reading with such heart. Your enthusiasm is a gift that keeps the story alive.

Good one. I think he is glowing in the dark already!

Here Gary good Job.

Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts. I’m really glad the ending felt perfect to you. Louis’s defeat brings closure, while Kaylen taking Ronan and Thomas as his sons marks a powerful new beginning. And with the King naming Kaylen Earl of Lincoln, his journey comes full circle in a way that feels both earned and meaningful. I appreciate you taking the time to read and respond — it truly means a lot.

Thank you so much for reading and for sharing such a thoughtful reflection. Your words capture the heart of the story beautifully. A tale built on honor, loyalty, and the weight of a promise is never simple, and you’ve highlighted exactly what gives it depth. Looking back on a time shaped by war, loss, and hardship reminds us how dramatically the fate of an entire country could pivot on the choices of just a few individuals. That tension — between devastation and duty — is what drives the story forward. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read and respond. Your insight means a great deal.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and share your thoughts. I’m really glad you found the ending fitting — it truly marks both a conclusion and the start of something entirely new for these characters. Louis’s fall from power, Henry III’s decision to name Kaylen Earl Wynthorpe of Lincoln, and Ronan and Tomas finally being recognized as his sons and heirs all signal a dramatic shift in their world. Everything has changed, and now they get to step forward with new identities, new responsibilities, and a future that looks very different from the one they once expected. I appreciate you reading and reflecting on it. Your engagement means a lot.

I am so sorry to hear that Dughlas
