The story revolves around the family as Will and Marie start their freshman year through the first semester. There is tragedy involving Marie's father Jack. There is a kidnapping and a run in with the mob. There are some memorable Escorial dinners. There is an awesome vacation to Maui with surfing. And Jeremy matures into being less of a bratty princess. All masterfully woven into a wonderfully entertaining tale. I heartily recommend this story

"and Carlo showed me that he could be spectacular too." Well that's encouraging after Will's last review. I'm guessing Travis won't be able to join them for the weekend, or at least all of it. Kendo and Will's fears about Travis seem to be on an arc away from Will. More please!

I've started this chapter three times and get to the part where Daniel has a flashback after finding out Josh is part of a family and my heart breaks and I can't go on....

Carlo is interesting. But not an accomplished lover, like Will is used to having. Fab and Marie, hot! More please!

Dogs are warmer, easier to train, less judgemental, but may be better hung....

Thanks for another fantastic story in the saga! While the Ortegas are down and out for the present, Mark has a long memory and I wouldn't be surprised to see them emerge as a foil in some later episode. Travis has his insecurities and Will continues to think he has the answers. These mindsets going into the next book presage relationship difficulties. I'm trying to keep in mind that Mark does like happy endings, but that is not always the case... On to the next book!

How appropriate for giving Tuesday!

I quit buying for the nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews several years ago. I just buy for my grandkids and my daughter and her husband. And yes I did some small shopping on Friday and plan to look some more tomorrow. The weather here has been frightful for November with heavy wet snow yesterday and cold with temps running 10 to 15 degrees below averages.

Just got back from a feast at my daughter's house. She had 14 people counting 4 nieces and nephews under age 4. She served turkey and ham both done on the grill by my son-in-law as well as mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, mac & cheese, party potato casserole, fruit salad, crescent rolls and 4 kinds of pie, including pumpkin, chocolate silk, apple and cherry with whipped cream.

Sounds like things are being taken care of regarding the mob, but I still can't help wondering about the fate of Fellowes et al. On this rather chilly Thanksgiving day, Hawaii sounds absolutely delightful! Happy Thanksgiving! And I still can't wait for more!

George turned a troubling situation into one in which he was able to get what he wanted along with helping promote his friends. I suspect the government realizes there is a cost to doing business with Brentwood! Another great chapter! Happy Thanksgiving Mark and now on to your other great saga!

I hate to see the current book is ending. I am not looking forward to the downward slide of Travis and the impact that has on Will and the family. This "Kendo" sounds like a piece of excrement... Too bad that life really sucks so much of the time.

Clay was in a drought and it's over...at least for now.

At least Josh got to be awake for the escape....the recovery will probably be as painful or worse than from the car wreck. Being the host of a Marvel type character, albeit surreptitiously, certainly has its cost.

A tangled web with the elegant appearing crone mucking it up and perhaps in cahoots with the kidnappers...

My family does Turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We had a goose for one Christmas but it did not go over as well. For Easter we usually have ham.

I sincerely hope the FBI is able to use the info to find the connections to the five who were not implicated in the data on the thumb drive. Perhaps Fellowes will try to get the incriminating info on Big to someone else and that will be intercepted by the authorities. Somehow, I can't imagine it will all go away with the prosecution of Fellowes and the people Petrovic implicated. Loved the fact everyone is impressed with Will's Hawaiian estate despite the beginning of construction of the Villas! It does seem the main house does need an office/library where family meetings could be held in private.

I've been reading Mark's stories for years, both here on GA and before that on his Yahoo group which has long since folded and they have given me countless hours of reading enjoyment over the approximately 20 years I've been reading his output which I continue to find: AMAZING!

Perhaps you could "pin" it to your fan club page

“As I explained to Sir Francis, Caroline and Her Royal Highness Princess Amelia are not fond of each other, and begging your pardon, both of them can be petulant.” The Queen laughed. “I appreciate your candor, and even more I will acknowledge that you are right. Surely Sir Francis can handle them?” “You know that Sir Francis is my best friend and that I am always impressed by his accomplishments, ma’am,” Granger said. “But he will not only have to deal with Caroline and Amelia, he will have to deal with the servants in my house, and coordinate the event such that no one finds out about it.” George made his case succinctly and diplomatically and of course the queen was convinced! And yes, as others have noted, George would not enjoy being an ambassador.

I like the way the group sussed out Petrovic's deceptions. The idea that they were being set up as fall guys seems more than plausible. The idea that there may actually still be a trust is not comforting either... I still think they will have to get some of their more shady friends involved to clean up the mess. Will they reconvene after lunch, or will there be another time jump to Maui (which I always look forward to!) As usual, More Please!

It seems Steve knows it is November despite labeling as "Oct. 2-Oct. 8".

This is a very British story and if that is not your cuppa, you may want to look elsewhere. But if you enjoy a dry sense of humor with some Britishisms thrown in, this is one to enjoy. The brothers could not be more different and yet are alike. Gray (Graham) is the poet, somewhat shy and uncomfortable in groups. Vince is a lawyer and a widow with a legalistic and business like manner. Incredibly he finds himself with a boyfriend with a past. Gray also acquires a boyfriend. The writing and the characters are what carry the story. I found it well worth the time and got several chuckles along the way.

I'm disappointed if Will ends the semester with less than a 4.0 gpa. I'm suspecting he gave himself some wiggle room. Finn is a bit small minded and acting a total asswipe. Jake and Brad have some homework with the flash drive and some ropes. More please!

Well the varied cast got through Christmas with no major problems, but George has ongoing concerns about several situations that could go sideways. Davina is a snake that I've never liked.
