It’s a Christmas to remember, Escorial style! Isadore definitely stepped over the line by not gifting Will. She could have done what my charming stepmonster once did and regift a present she received the previous Christmas! In the past Isadore has exhibited like behavior showing preference to Billy at Brad’s expense and more recently Will, inviting the boy who gave Will a thrashing as well as not inviting the person he had put on the list for the Bastille Day celebration. Personally I am willing to put most of my irritation with Jack aside, assuming he really wants to make amends to his horrible behavior. Midlife crisis or serious health issues is not a get out of jail card. Having a serious operation without giving a heads up to your children is a pretty selfish act. A death bed letter,no matter how heartfelt, is still a cowardly way to explain your bad behavior. Jeremy is doing a good job of interacting with the family. He stood by Will showing brotherly solidarity. With a little bit of thinking though the situation, he is able to emulate empathy. The boy deserves a Rolls! Marie will definitely get through hospital security to see her daddy. Thanks for another exciting chapter. So many possibilities lie ahead.

So does Guy Fellows link back to one of our known villains? Is Jack’s disappearance somehow related? Thinking about all of this is disturbing? Well done! Jeremy’s birthday was delightful. Will and Jeremy seemed to bond over the necklace. I am surprised that Will hasn’t already locked his compass necklace away. With Travis moving back to California, he and Will are going have to work to keep their relationship strong. They’ve done well so far, but now the commute is much longer and they will both have more commitments to juggle. Thanks for keeping up this impressive schedule. I am in awe!

Another twist! What will be next? As much as I look forward to that, I look forward to Jeremy’s birthday celebration and his ever growing sense of self worth as he bravely opens up and allows himself to trust his family and friends. His ability to overcome the traumas in his past has been a long hard fought journey. In many ways, his character is the most complex and well developed of his generation in the series. Thanks for the boost! This is stupendous!

Tangled webs ultimately have consequences! Time for justice as only Will and his family can initiate! Thank you and your twisty storylines for entertaining us all. Kudos!

What has Big done that he can be blackmailed about? Surely with his family background it must be illegal? Mere assholiness or errant sexual behavior would cause no concerns! Murder, manslaughter, treason? John could use some therapy to find a better way to deal with his anger. I think he should try to find his own therapist before dealing with Jack, who no doubt needs therapy even more than John. Thanks for the weekend reading! The California trip is living up to my expectations!

I loved the sex break chapter! Love spoken for Jeremy and Kris brings a new beginning for two emotionally stunted people and a chance to heal old wounds. That tender event was followed by an adventurous exploration of fisting featuring Will and Finn with a delightful assist by Travis. What an evening to remember. Kudos Mister Arbour! Now what about Big?

I think that the culprit trying to destroy Travis is outside the family. Travis must have or be in control of something that will become up for grabs upon his death. Big may have come across him/her while perusing his mining interests and fallen into the villain’s clutches. In any event, the tangled web is truly well spun! Thank you for the exercise and another delicious chapter that makes us crave more.

Thanks for a George chapter. I can live with a monthly update! Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Families can be complicated. Travis’ must win a prize! I can’t wait for the details. Thanks for another great chapter that requires more thought.

I love this epic trilogy! Seeing the Lion’s Pride being posted ignited my desire to reread from the beginning. Thank you for the opportunity. Forgive me if I don’t comment on each chapter, I truly appreciate your storytelling skills and your well drawn characters.

Finn That is what an Escorial Thanksgiving looks like! Not as memorable as Matt’s but it shifted relationships just the same. Jack finally went too far and will be feeling the consequences. Ryan damaged his relationship either both Marie and John. Claire has apologized and reconciled with Will. Marie is taking the initiative to finally find some closure with Austin. Will is getting fisting tutoring from Brad and Jake while the other men listen. Jeremy finds the conversation troubling though he tries to not show his distress. His better medication stabilized him enough that he can perhaps talk to Kris about it in private, though I don’t think he would be happy with Will fisting Finn in the condo. Thats for the dessert! The presentation was as always excellent!

What a nice warmup! So many opportunities to turn up the heat! Jack with Amber after her foray with John would be a hoot! Grandmaman is quiet so far, but can she keep her self righteousness in check? Thanks for the treat and yes the timing makes me yearn for George!

Thanks for the timely chapter. The stage is set, the people are shifting into place, and cold fronts and hot spots are in the forecast. Everyone is great on the surface. Amber is stirring up some hormones and chances are she will make a connection with Darius or maybe even Jack if he shows. The Thanksgiving chapter is just a week away unless it’s not! Anticipating a lovely meal!

Who is behind the curtain? And to what end? I’m sure that at some point everything will be make sense. Twisty, twisty goes the plot. Thanks for keeping our brains focused! Now for the Thanksgiving feast and the eventual emotional turmoil! Not all the fireworks are lighted on the 4th of July. Thanks for the new chapter.

Guy Fellows is next on the agenda, but first comes Thanksgiving at Escorial! Will Jack put the move on Amber? Will Claire and Grandmaman attack Will? Will the voices rise enough to irritate JP? Will someone leave during the meal in a self righteous snit? Thanks for the great beginning of my weekend! You always come through.

I have been missing George! What a smooth return! George saved Daventry from some embarrassment, integrated Calvert into his retinue, updated the King, and publicly greeted from the King’s box at the opera house. Sex, diplomacy, a little peacocking is a great beginning for his homecoming. Thank for bringing George back for a weekend treat!

Will is in charge; get over it! Guy Fellowes? That makes sense. Now comes Thanksgiving at Escorial. I am so looking forward to a juicy meal! Thanks for the Juneteenth installment! Any day you post is a holiday!

It looks like William and Sasha are sorted! Marc’s plans seem to be on track as well. Thanks for the new update! Well done!

The future looks good. I wonder if the size of the house and the corporation along with the awesome fleet and the cutting edge technology hasn’t put them in the crosshairs of some dangerous people. Liam and Marc Adam seem to have an interesting in running the empire eventually. Will and Sasha are a couple? Should Marc be worried? I’m sure Marc will investigate to ascertain if his friend is in a toxic relationship. Thanks for the great read!

I hope Darius doesn’t get lost on the way to the hospital! I can’t wait for the aftermath. I doubt there will be any consequences for Taylor, surely her part in the kidnapping will be ignored, but the Serbains are not going to be so lucky. With Will, John, Claire and Grandmaman, Thanksgiving is going to epic! Thanks for the exciting weekend! You always deliver the best! Fire, danger, hugs and ambulances! I’m sure sex is in the near future!

How screwed up is Taylor?

Romance and fated mates for the next generation! The future looks bright for the Alexander-Knight family! The trip seems like a sort of pre-honeymoon, but with this family, it could morph into something more dangerous. Thanks for this delightful chapter! I loved it!

The family is evolving and the business continues to thrive. New technology has been developed and new relationships have begun. As the children grow into their own and find their path within the corporation, new opportunities will emerge. I look forward to the next next chapter as the future unfolds. I love this universe you have created! Excellent!

I can’t connect the dots. The pieces just don’t fit together yet. Is Taylor part of the stalking, the kidnapping. She is such a heinous bitch, but she doesn’t seem smart enough to be the brains behind the curtain. How could she have connections to the Serbian mob? Why would Travis ever consider working with her to do anything? Zach shared some interesting information with the passport and the watch and Taylor’s simultaneous disappearance. Maybe Jake can use that information to find Travis! Thanks for the intriguing chapter! You always have an interesting twist. I need another chapter to help stop my head from spinning! Excellent storytelling!

Travis screwed up. No guard! No driver! He would definitely fail as a travel agent. No wonder Travis is suspicious of Taylor her presence makes no sense despite how gratifying it is to see being slapped around. Maybe the call Jack made will reveal something. Maybe he called someone who is connected with the Serbians rather than the Serbians directly. Still I wonder why Travis has been kidnapped. Will is an emotional mess. He has channeled Wade and taken on the task of saving Travis’s house, since there is nothing else he can do for Travis at the moment. Thanks for the chapter that provides some answers and gererates more questions! Well done as always!
