What an interesting chapter! Miranda seems clueless to the situation, but she does admit that Travis is not Curtis’ biological son. Steph thinks there is something about Travis that reminds him of someone. Miranda thinks Travis has a plan beyond just disappearing until his birthday. She is aware of the relationship between Will and her son. Will and JP are off on a Grand Tour, but Will is too restless to wait for JP and plans to see JJ in New York. Is that a good idea considering Curtis is desperate and blames Will for Travis going into hiding? So many things are in play! Who is the father? Where is Travis? Does Travis have plans Will doesn’t know about? Is Will safe? I’m looking forward to the next chapter to find out some of the answers and no doubt a few more questions. Great read! It’s a great beginning for the weekend. Thanks.

I think they might have a stowaway! Good cliffhanger no matter what.

Caroline has backed herself into a corner, if she is to recover her social standing she must realize the harm she has done herself and work to repair the damage. Such an effort would take years ,and as yet she hasn’t even recognized the depth of her betrayal. The Russian rewards for Daventry and Granger were great. How many houses does a man need? There are sons that will need households in time and a daughter who will need a dowery. Davina never is without a motive, what does she want? George hopes he will be back at sea before next season. How many Earls or Privy Council members are frigate captains? Great chapter with lots to think about. Thanks!

I’m not happy with the choice Travis made. He has really severed his ties. Hopefully he will contact Will if he needs help! I think a trip to Spain with JP is exactly what Will needs to keep obsessing about Travis. A great chapter!

Wow! Everything I hoped for and more! Thanks for the wonderful start for the weekend.

Is going into hiding a good idea for Travis? Wouldn’t it be safer with Will and his family? Surely JP, Steph, Jake and Brad could find a way for Will and Travis to be safe and together. Marie and Will are going to Boston. That seems like a good idea for both of them. The party was a success! Even Claire benefited. Great chapter! I hope Will and Travis find a way that works for keeping Travis safe. I’m beginning to think Travis could be Curtis’ half brother. That would be interesting! Thanks for the weekend boost! I’m wondering if George and Daventry might be meeting with the king soon. No pressure.

Great story! I love the way the chapters shift point of view. The characters are developing quickly into people that I care about. I look forward to the next episode.

I liked Brad’s advice about Harvard. I liked that Claire had fun sex. I liked the party vibe. All is well except for Travis’s problems. His portfolio is crap; his life is in danger; he has few people he can trust. He must find a way to make his trust inaccessible to Curtis for his own safety. Luckily he has Will and Will’s family in his corner. Now the big one, who is Travis’s father? His mother is all about money, who would she hookup with? Was it an affair or a one night stand? I would guess it was a revenge fuck with one of Curtis’s business rivals or a personal enemy. Thanks Mark for keeping it interesting! Great ending, can’t wait for the reveal!

Finally we hear something about the plane! Naturally nothing is definitive! I believe that Travis is in danger. His trust is a mystery and it does seem his grandfather must have had a reason to treat him differently than his siblings. Is the reason enough that Curtis Buck would want Travis dead? How can Travis find out? Will and Marie are spectacular! I think Claire could use a few more sexual encounters before she sleeps with Jack. I can help but think Junior League sex was what caused Jack to stray in the first place. Another great chapter that has me wanting more! What a great way to celebrate the weekend. Thanks!

Will is always about family. Marie is growing to be like that as well. She has matured a lot since her crisis, but she, like her mother, can still be self absorbed. I think she has been pushed out of her comfort zone by the destabilization within her family. She wants to help her parents return to their previous relationship. Will has indicated that Claire needs grow if she is to move forward with or without Jack. Perhaps if Marie listens to Will she will actually have a positive effect on Claire. Will might consider changing his plans for Harvard if he sees it benefiting his family and his foundation obligations, but on the other hand, Will is mobile. He could easily commute to satisfy those obligations as well as any emergencies. Will can obviously do his schoolwork on the plane. JJ is in New York, Steph has ties to Mode, Brad has ties to Triton, JP and Steph are planning to do more traveling, Wade and Matt, the children, and Tiffany are in Boston. Family is not just Sunday dinner at Escorial. I’m with Will no matter what he decides. Great chapter! Here’s to a great spa day and multiple orgasms for Claire. She could use a lot of casual sex. In the long run having more experience will make getting back to Jack a more viable option or help her move on to a better relationship.

George is back! The cabinet meeting was interesting. Between George and Daventry they got their story out and quashed the dissenters. Advancement of peerage? That seems promising. Will that ease the family tensions? Not likely, I imagine. I am so looking forward to the next chapter! Thanks for making my day.

I think Will is very self aware and has enough experience to know committed long distance relationships are difficult. His discussion with Travis is an attempt to find a way to make their separation bearable and to avoid guilt for both of them. Will has watched what happens when exclusive relationships are breached. There might come a time when Will is ready to be monogamous but probably not as a college student; maybe later when he starts a family of his own, he will consider that. I think it is more likely that he will model life with his partner after JP and Steph. I know that Will would like Marie to be with him at Harvard because he likes the idea of family, but for now Boston has Maddy and Reilly and Bobby in addition to Wade, Matt, and Tiffany. Part of college is pulling away from the familiar and developing a broader perspective. That is one of major reasons for a gap year. Brad attended Yale to get away from the Bay Area ,and by attending Harvard ,Will has chosen to follow in his footsteps. Barring a family emergency, I don’t see that Will would alter the plans his discussed with JP. What I wonder is why Marie would change her plans?

Very intriguing!

Sand, surf, and sex not to forget food and music can teen drama be far behind? How will Kai feel about his mother having a boyfriend? Great Saturday thanks to you!

I’ve always liked this story. Having Marcel as the narrator is slow start because we really don’t know him at the beginning. We know about his origin and his sixteen year old self, but until he reveals his life in the US we don’t the man he is five years later. That being said I love his character from the first chapter and have a vested interest in his happiness that only grows with each episode. I reread SL in anticipation of your rewrite so I would appreciate the enhancements. I look forward to the expanded version. Of course having reread MIM and SL, you have me hooked and I will continue with the all the subsequent CAP books. Thanks for summer read boost!

What a great addition! It certainly begins to define the dynamics of the family and Will certainly is charismatic enough to live up to the names he was given.

The Steph/Brad/Lou story makes for watery eyes every time! I love how it comes to fruition.

It must be over two years ago since I last reread this book so I won’t be able to be specific, but I think some of the dialogue and Brads interior observations are improved. As always when rereading your work I am amazed by your subtle foreshadowing and complexity of the characters and the storyline. I’m truly enjoying this revisit of Brad’s college years.

No two ways about it, Robbie is a rollercoaster ride! Brad has a season pass!

I have begun the the reread. The enhancements you’ve described seem exciting; I look forward to seeing how they effect an already excellent storyline.

With the type of relationship Casey and Kevin suggested Will might be able to maintain his relationship with Travis after the gap year ends. Certainly Steph is a perfect source to guide Will. Even as bonded as Steph and JP are that doesn’t mean they are monogamous. I think Will is much more likely to thrive in an open relationship with a like minded partner. The party has expanded as I’m certain the potential for drama has! With Travis outing his relationship with Will to his friends at least some of the drama has abated.Hawaii here we come! What’s up with Kiki? What awaits in the mail from Escorial? Way to tantalize! Another great chapter Mark. Have wonderful time in England!

I loved seeing Cuba though CJ’s eyes. Thanks for the tour! I hate to see it end, but I look forward to the next adventure.

It’s been awhile since I have read Man in Motion. It was one of the most volitive periods of Brad and Robbie’s relationship and one that continued to play a part in their lives. I am curious to see what you decided to reshape.

The Zach/Travis/Will drama seems to be resolved and Claire seems to have begun repairing her relationship with John and Marie. What’s next? I’m sure the trip will have some unforeseen excitement. Will is quite the peacemaker when he puts his mind to it. Thanks for the chapter!

CJ is a treasure! What a treat. I love a good surprise and you provided a great one.
