I so loved this story, although u did leave a cliff hanger with wanting to know how his family was perceived, and how the rest of the extended family was, or whats become of his father, mother, Aunt Bessie, Gloria, Matilida, Will and Mathew? All in all I enjoyed all.
A Fan,
Kim

Hey kimyso,
Aww thanks so very much! I have a confession to make, I vaguely remember the plot line about this story - my computer crashed and all my earlier stories were lost plus I have a phobia about rereading my stories because I just know I will come across something that needs to be corrected and that will drive me nuts :-) I always thought about continuing the story with another one of Drake's friends but I don't even have the spirit to finish one of my stories so how can I embark on this one (it wouldn't be fair) Again thanks for the giving me such an awesome review!

I enjoy your period pieces. I wish you would write lots MORE.
Author's Response:
Hey Tia,
I'm so happy that you enjoyed them a greaat deal. Writing those pieces was at a time when I had the time...LOL and patience to do it well. We'll see if I can get back there again at some time. Thanks very much for the awesome review!

That was a beautiful story. They were able to live the life they wanted as a married couple and had six kids to top it off.
Author's Response:
Hey bayoumomma,
I'm glad you enjoyed the story because it was my first step back into that Victorian kind of storytelling. If you were interested in this story then you'll enjoy my next story CELIA even better. It follows Drake's friend Jonathan and his quest to rekindle the relationship with his lost love and the son he never knew. Forgive me if it seems that I'm promoting that story too much...LOL!!!
It has been a pleasure reading your reviews and thanks so much for the support!

Drake what are you going to do, how can you two be together?
Author's Response:
Hey bayoumomma,
As you can see from reading that in those days these IR couples had very few choices as to what they could do to be together. Love always finds a way...;) Thanks for the great review!

Wonderful chapter. I like how he put her aunt in her place!
Author's Response:
Hey bayoumomma,
In those days men still had great power over women but she was surprised that he could so easily defend Eliza whom she considered far below their status. Thanks for the great review!
Reviewer: bayoumomma Signed [Report This]Date: 17/11/09 07:24 pm
Eliza was bold. She really surprised me when she took off her clothes. Loved it!! I bet Emilie's aunt was the one who saw her leave his room or maybe his sister.
Author's Response: Hey bayoumomma,
Will is away and she does have that attraction to Drake. At least she had that pleasure before things change. The next chapter will reveal who saw her leave his room. Again thanks for leaving your reviews!

Great chapter!! Sara is so bitter. they would not deny her anything. I was surprised at Drake sneaking in another kiss!! He had better be careful because Emilie is suspicious.
Author's Response: Hey bayoumomma, Sara is bitter because as the first born she feels that she is entitled and just because Drake is a boy their father seems to be giving him everything that should be hers. Emilie has a right to be suspicious...dont you think...lol! Thanks for the awesome review! Reviewer: bayoumomma Signed

Drake can't keep his mind off of Eliza. Aunt Diana is going to cause all kinds of trouble!! Is Will having fun out in he camp with the women they send to entertain them?
Author's Response: Hey bayoumomma,
Yeah Drake is already smitten. Consider Aunt Diana from the older generation that is very intent on causing trouble especially if Drake is likely to hurt her niece. And to answer your last question Will is having lots of fun at camp...lol! Thanks for the awesome review!
[Report This]Date: 17/11/09 06:08 pm
Sara is going to be a trouble maker as is Gloria!! I enjoyed the first chapter.
Author's Response:
Hey bayoumomma,
Yes these two are going to be trouble for Drake and Eliza. Sara has a lot of issues with her brother and as for Gloria well she hates being in the background. I'm glad to enjoy the first chapter and hope you continue reading. Thanks for the awesome review!

I finally finished! You did a wonderful job, chocolate! I knew they would have to leave to be able to live as they wanted. Drake's dad missed out. He could have come to visit them and get to know his grandchildren. His loss.
Author's Response:
Hey Love,
I admit that I saw this review some time ago and I'm sorry that I didn't respond...too caught up in Celia...accept that apology right...;) In order to get married they had to leave and live the lives that they wanted. Drake wouldn't settle for less. As far as papa Brodie goes yeah it was his loss and that is a sad commentary from that era...
Thanks for the awesome review!

Great end to this story sad to see it go. My fav part when darka mom stood up for her son and that he found a way to be together. Love the story thanks for writting and thanks for the updated.
Author's Response:
Thanks wwe!
I had to let it go but I think I did you guys a disservice with that rushed ending. I knew I was rushing it but I promised this would be the last chapter and I try to keep my second word...LOL!
I'm happy that you enjoyed it very much and I hope that you can enjoy my future stories as well! Thanks again for the support!

The ending felt a little rushed, but I'm such a sucker for this story that it didn't bother me. I'm glad that they were able to spend the rest of their lives together.
I was SO HAPPY when Eliza beat Gloria up. She deserved EVERY bruise!!!!
Author's Response: You got me Sweetpea...I did rush it and it was just because I wanted to add that epilogue...should have just left the ship sequence that I had originally written. I also felt committed to letting this be my last chapter. Gloria did deserve every bruise. I am too a sucker for happy endings...Thanks for still giving me such an awesome review! :) Reviewer: Sweet Pea Signed

Oh Yay!! Great ending Chocolate. I'm glad that we finally see Drake's mother make a scene and Gloria finally got her ass beat!! Aww, I hate to see this end, but you were right. I just love the ending of Drake and Eliza beautiful love story. Thanks for writing it and I look forward to your next story Chocolate.
Author's Response:
Hey M!
Sweet was right I did rush the ending because I wanted to add that stupid epilogue plus keep to my word that this was the last chapter...LOL! I should let them just sail off into the sunset...;) So I can apologize for the subpar way I ended it but I'm happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading and your great review!

So, I just read where you responded to my review. I'm soo thrilled about you potentially writing the story about Jonathan. I'm even more stoked that you might use one of my ideas. I think it's just a telling sign how you ensnared a reader and their imagination.
Reviewer: brown_mocha Signed [Report This]Date: 12/01/09 02:30 am
yo choc, tell me it aint so?!! Now, this is what i call wickedness, you sucked me right in just to tell me there's one chap left? Well I really hope they have a very happy ending, love is a very wonderful and powerful thing
Author's Response:
Dye what have I done?
It is the job of the author to suck you in and then let you anticipate an ending...:) I didn't want my story to linger and you guys wonder when will everything be resolved.
I'm sure you will love the ending! I hope you write again Dye because you know I'm a Tangie fanatic and I need a lot of fixes...LOL! PLeaseeee...

They finally really get together and he has to leave! Life back then was so unfair for interracial couples. Thank goodness I live in this century.
Author's Response:
Hey Sweet,
Thank goodness we all live in this century. There is still some ways to go but at least I don't believe there is a law that outrightly bans such relationships. Thanks for the great review!
Reviewer: Sweet Pea Signed [Report This]Date: 08/01/09 07:02 am
I am in love with this story. Excellent update! Please, please, please give Jonathon a chance to have his own story. Let something happen where his young son comes to find him because his mom is seeing really hard times, and come under their employment. Then let the sparks fly from there. I know you said that he loves his wife but I have two options for that obstacle. A: she dies or B: she had a master plan all along to keep Jonathon from his true love. Just think about it okay? ahahaha.
Author's Response:
Hi brown_mocha,
I appreciate your support. So you really have some ideas about a Jonathon story....LOL! Your ideas really sound great so here is an idea...you have my permission to write it...;) Do we have a deal or what?...LOL!
Alright I'm giving it serious considerations but it will take some time to get my head wrapped around it and start the process. I'm sure one of your ideas will be involved in it ;)
