Rafe definitely helps out in this story.

Hehe, yep, kayden has certainly become even stronger.

Guess you know me well enough to have a bit of doubt, hehe.

hehe, no, I think he might accept someone being with him just because Damien would like it, but he's not going to sit back if it comes down to a fight.

Thank you!

So glad you liked it! I think Kayden would definitely lighten up the king's life a bit...

Thank you!

yep, the king could use someone to lighten up his day. Think Kayden coming to the castle could stir things up a bit.

Thank you so very much!

You're welcome, so glad you enjoyed it!

It'd probably be even funnier if he ended up climbing them one day... hehe. thanks so much for reading!

He is!

Yep, him and his shoes are a bit of a contention with him and Damien. So glad you enjoyed it!

I do plan on him just stepping down in the third installment, maybe being an adviser or something where he'd still live at the castle and have some interactions with Kayden...

Yesterday, I went out to Goodreads figuring I would add Tears of the Neko their books list. I went through the whole process to find that some kind soul had already added it! I assume it was probably someone from here as this is where I'm most active, so thank you so very much. Right now I am working on getting it associated with my account as there are several other Taylor Ryan's out there. Hopefully they will get back to me soon. And thank you to anyone who has reviewed it there as well (there were only a couple, but it's a start so thanks so much!) And of course thank you to all of you who have read, liked, review, critiqued, etc my stories. I am so happy to share them with you and hear what you think. GA readers are the best! Hope to have something more for you soon!

Funny thing... yesterday I found out a friend was now working at our Target in town. I came home and asked the girls, "Guess who's working at Target?" The oldest's response: "Alex?"

Prompt #352--First Line: "I can't believe you asked him that." A Good Impression? "I can't believe you asked him that," Damien muttered under his breath as they moved into the small dining area the king reserved for small, informal meals. His uncle, the king, was still laughing as were Harrison and Penelope. Kayden looked up at the duke with a slight glare, his cheeks still tinged pink in embarrassment. "It's your fault." "How it is my fault?" Damien frowned down at his young neko

oh, boy, I can't see Kendall's dad reacting well... unless his illness suddenly gives him new perspective that he's wasted his time being mad that Kendall didn't become a cop. I'm so glad to see that they both are finding support where they didn't think they'd find it--in Chet, Arron, Kendall's mom. Can't wait to see what the next chapter holds.

It was rather hard to write, just like All In was. I went through a lot of tissues and had to take lots of breaks. But it was for all those Averys out there who have endured in silence. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing.

Thank you very much! Since he was held by the hunters for years and not true masters, Kayden is the exception to the rule for how slaves are normally treated, which is why Damien has a hard time understanding how to deal with him at first. I'm glad you enjoyed the growth of the characters. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

Suvitar, thank you so much for all the reviews! I'm so glad you have enjoyed the story! Thanks so much for reading!

Thanks Ron, Hogan and Cia!

thank you!

Hey everyone! Tears of the Neko is now available on Amazon if you feel you must have a copy for your kindle so you can read it whenever you want! Or want to leave a review over there too ... No, really, just wanted to let you all know that it is published there under the pen name Taylor Ryan, in case anyone sees it there and wonders if it's me or someone trying to steal it (which I know has happened to people unfortunately). So it is me, just under a pen name, since my young adult works are already listed under my real name, and I wanted to keep them separate. (Thanks, Cia, for telling me how to add the Amazon link--cool that your example was one of your books that I had actually bought!) Edit/Update: Because Tears of the Neko is published, I am unpublishing part of the story here for a few months (since most of you have already read it--thank you!) Also I went to add it to goodreads and found that some one had already done so! I assume someone from here, so thank you very much! I'm working on getting them to associate it to my own profile. Feel free to add a review there or vote for it on one of the lists!
