The Australian adventure seems to be off to a good start. I'm glad Will met some nice guys, although he can definitely stand to lose Chris. Looking forward to seeing where this story goes next.
Thanks again. And a happy and safe Thanksgiving to you.
I'm very happy to hear Beef Stroganov will be entering Lefavre's repertoire. Lefavre may be less pleased but we all have to make sacrifices at some point. 😏
Thanks for another excellent chapter, Mark. This and the new CAP one were a lovely pee-holiday treat.
That was a really sweet chapter. Other than Scott's pissiness, everything seems like it's working out ok. That's a clear indicator that the drama is about to begin. 😏
Glad Will and Kai we're able to reconnect. I predicted Kiki would want to stay in her neighborhood, but if Will can provide both a home and a job at his nascent compound, that might work out well for everyone. Anticipating a comeuppance for Malo, though.
Thanks for another great chapter, Mark!
So, this is Scott's third face but only second name, right? Just want to make sure I'm keeping up with key events. 😉 Glad he managed to rein in Will's impulses, at least until he manages to get the story first-hand and find out what Kai and his mom actually want. Personally, I think he'll either buy their house from the drug lord uncle or buy them a new one, rather than install them in his burgeoning family compound.
For some reason, this chapter made me hungry. 🤔 😉
Count Stroganov is delightful! I'm very glad Granger managed to find something to take his mind off the next day's events.
Thanks, hon! Looking forward to more.
It's a good thing the Countess managed to be useful, because she utterly failed at being charming. Even though she's allegedly 15, I'm assuming there's a Count von Lieven in the picture somewhere (probably in the background, hiding from her). 😏
Thanks, Mark, great chapter! Looking forward to the next.
I'm not sure why George feels he's in a lesser role. It seems to me that winning the Tsar's good graces is just as important as plotting behind the scenes, and George's knowledge and ingenuity as well as his diplomatic skills are crucial to that part of the plan. I'm looking forward to their meeting von Beckendorf's sister. Possible lust interest for Daventry?
Thanks, hon! Can't wait for more.
Mark, that was a beautiful end to a wonderful book. Thank you for all of it! Looking forward to the next installment of the CAP saga.
PS: Just did my first recommendation. Thanks for the tip.
I'm so delighted to have Daventry back, even a snotty, whiny Daventry who is likely to infect the whole party with his respiratory virus. I cringed every time Granger held his hand. Where is the hand sanitizer? I enjoyed his reactions to Granger's news, though. And they are utterly adorable together.
Thanks, hon! Can't wait for more!
Thanks for another riveting chapter! I'm glad Granger's familiarity with Philadelphia held up. Although, I was surprised that the British and American accents would already have drifted so far apart.
Looking forward to the next installment.
Is JJ setting up for a second career in interior design? Maybe just an expensive hobby. Either way, I am really enjoying his character evolution. It seems like Carullo is, too.
Thanks for another great chapter!
Another fantastic chapter! I particularly enjoyed the contrast between the overly formal and backward-looking French court with the spirit of adventure and companionship of the journey to St. Petersburg. Thanks! Can't wait for more.
Especially with their very different attitudes towards Bastille Day.
Loved this chapter! JJ and Carullo in the suburbs were hilarious and adorable. Thanks again!
I'm very relieved to hear Winkler won't be cold on the journey to St. Petersburg. Fun seeing the Comte again.
Thanks for another great chapter! Happy 4th!
I agree with Daddydavek. After a nerve-wracking start, the journey has been unremarkable so far. I don't expect that to last.
Thanks for the speedy posting and happy Father's Day!
The family dynamics in Brad's half family are interesting, pretty much the opposite of the Crampton-Schluter clan.
Thanks for another fantastic chapter! Hope to see Granger again soon.
