Christmas bounty from team Arbour, I can hardly contain my glee! Thanks for a nice robust chapter!
On a side note maybe Sean and Cam could hook up and be one another's HEAs.
Immaturity aside, Zach is not someone I'd care to cross. Wally and Clara are blowing any chance of ever having a decent relationship with Zach. They may be able to pull a power play now, but Zach has got an enviable survival streak in him. He will ultimately prevail, but the bridge will be burned and it will be his parents, Clara specifically, who will suffer most.
Thanks for the chapter.
Zach...get thee to a lawyerey. What a shock that a guy who rapes and humiliates his own cousin is a shitty father? Great work creating such characters that readers love to hate.
Hell hath no fury like Wade annoyed , but all my CAP favorites are allowed their occasional vengeful acts. Hell JP inspired a colleague to commit suicide so no one's perfect.
Thanks for the chapter!
Insta romances can be as thrilling as first crushes and often end up as disasterously. Can't wait to see how this turns out...suppose I have to though...rats .
Thanks for the work.
I am not a fan of Alex, but I think that JJ jumping to the conclusion that Alex's reaction was relief that JJ was still an "ass virgin" is a bit unfair to Alex. Dropping news of being molested is a big share that I am betting Alex wasn't expecting after great sex. Everyone responds to bad news differently; only the author knows what's going on in Alex's head, but I do think until it becomes clear, some benefit of doubt should be afforded the guy, especially since he's JJ's romantic interest. If Alex is anything like some of the other Granger's in other stories he works really hard to suppress his emotions under a calm veneer and that could be driving his reaction more than any reassurance he's still got a shot at JJ's bum cherry.
Thanks for a great update!
I feel very blessed*, it's raining in California and M. Arbour posted a Valient update. Thank you, even though you left me wanting so much more.
*Blessed is subjective given my atheist tendencies .
Provocative chapter. We are coming up on another chapter in history that I wish we could rewrite, sadly not only can we not...we haven't even fully finished sorting through the impact of the short sighted decisions made during that time. I look forward to your interpretation as I have all the others. Thank you again for your work.
Good grief do things get complicated in the country .
Like Wade, Elizabeth's good mood makes me uneasy.
JJ's pride would have been better served by not calling (I liken it to calling someone to say "Don't call me," if I truly don't want to talk to another person I don't call them).
Gracious platitudes for the continued excellent work.
Thank you for the update. No matter how crazy busy life gets, seeing a Mark Arbour update is always a welcome treat. Giggles for what Elizabeth comes up with to make Hammer's life unpleasant.
I'd be leery of any counselor Zach's parents would choose, but Frank is pretty vested in making sure Zach has a chance so I am hoping that it either soves the problem with a reconcile or giving Zach the motivation to go Will. Thanks for the work.
Outstanding ruse. I was wondering if there was going to be a dead coming back to haunt us thing with the Parnell name...looks like we have a mystery. Awesome work, thanks.
Wade, like JP isn't as stoic as he'd like everyone to believe, also I think he would probably be even scarier should someone mess with someone he loves. JP's parents were a basket of kittens compared to the vipers that raised Wade. Matt really continues to transcend.
Fine work, thank you.
To think this gem of a chapter was waiting for me all day...blasted responsibilities .
It's no shock JJ isn't a big talker, with Will "I destroy Ferrari's when I'm mad" as a brother sometimes it's just nice to accept an apology and move on with one's life.
I love that Brad is getting his freak on...and I love that it's with Cam who deserves a HEA in the best way!
As always compliments and gratitude abound.
