cybertoothtiger 2008-04-06 ch 14,	abuse"The blond haired man was in a jacket--dinner not flak." I love your writing. It's probably the closest to the show in terms of the balance between action and character -- okay, way more character than we get in the show, but that's a good thing! The technical details just make it all the more real. I loved the way you brought Jack back one last time to help her out. I don't think he would have abandoned her until he knew she was okay. I also liked how strong you made her. It's easy to forget that she's a high-powered executive. But you provided the balance of her wrinkly forhead vulnerability as well. And the Mike and Nadia wrap-up with Chloe and Morris was great. Good job!
Dr Alice 2008-03-28 ch 14,	abuseI loved this ending and I thought it was appropriate for Jack and Kate to be friends. I'm glad her husband wound up not being a terrorist. Loved the ending with Mike and Nadia, too. I'm a sucker for a good proposal.
Pinkjimmychoos 2008-03-28 ch 14,	abuseYay! And indeed C for Cheese. Lol. Fabulous ending to a fabulous story, I was so hoping you would post this today, hehe. I liked the fact that you didn't put Jack and Kate together, even though admittedly at the start I was hoping you would. Nadia/Doyle- what more can I say?! Brilliant- I totally loved it, and so what if they were a little OOC? It's more fun that way! You're right: the writers of 24 didn't give them a decent ending and this was a lovely one. Very appropriate. For some reason this part: "At one point, Nadia had mentioned getting highlights done, but after she explained to him what that meant, her idea was met with a resounding “NO!” Made me laugh a lot. Typical man thing. Oh, and glad he got at least some say in the furniture. Haha. It was touching and sweet and his romantic gesture was perfect because you didn't elaborate on it and go into too much depth, and the part where he had to ask Nadia's parents? Hehehe. Nice image there. Also love the workings with Chloe and Morris and how he and Morris are friends. So cute! You tied it all together brilliantly. Ok, will stop gushing now. Looking forward to your rewrites of a slow simmer!!
Housewoodblues 2008-03-09 ch 13,	abuseExellent!Interesting plot,very well-written,great put-down.I love seeing Mike jealous.One of the many moments I enjoyed was on chapter 6,when Doyle discovers the picture and looks Nadia with amusement.
Shadowsakura321 2008-03-06 ch 13,	abuseGreat job!
Maverick500 2008-03-05 ch 13,	abuseExcellent chapter
cybertoothtiger 2008-03-04 ch 13,	abuseDo we get the rest of the recipe? It sounds delicious. This is so good -- the pacing is so much like the show (except for the cooking, of course!) I can just see Jack in the hallway, watching Kate from a distance. Nice touch with Mike's view of the furniture.
24isthebest 2008-03-03 ch 13,	abuseOh darn! I'm guessing the husband isn't really guilty, and you're just setting him up to be. He probably wouldn't have an earnest look on his face if he was guilty. I just want Jack/Kate. But I guess that won't happen. Nadia/Doyle amazing as ever.
alice.dick@gmail.com 2008-03-02 ch 13, anon.	abuseThe husband was in on it?? Wow, I didn't see that coming. Excellent plot wrapup, and I loved the bit about the scents too. I really enjoyed this.
Pinkjimmychoos 2008-03-02 ch 13,	abuseHi! Wow, loved this. Especially the way you managed to weave in the descriptions of the scents with the moods, that was really skilfully done. My favourite part: "Jack. The master of perfect timing." Made me laugh for ages. And FINALLY he told her. Yay!! Also loved the way he was contemplating on rearranging her apartment, especially with a bigger TV, such a man thing to do! Will probably think of lots more things to say so will PM you later, but this was totally worth waiting for. Can't wait for your last chapter!
Tigerlily Brown 2008-03-01 ch 13,	abuseAww! So cute. I can't wait for the end!
Pinkjimmychoos 2008-02-11 ch 12,	abuseYay! Fantastic update and love how you combined the financial jargon with the suspense. Oh yeah, my favourite part: “It’s all right, baby, it’s over.” He whispered to her. He raised his face upwards and exhaled deeply in relief, closing his eyes for a moment in silent thanks. Squee! So sad it's almost over though, but v much looking forward to the rest!
Dr Alice 2008-02-10 ch 12,	abuseLove, love, love the plot, especially the idea of taking out the air conditioning to knock out the computers! And I love the Mike/Nadia cliffhanger at the end! You are doing a great job of juggling all these plot threads. I cannot wait for the next part.
cybertoothtiger 2008-02-09 ch 12,	abuse"Kate was one of the few people who had come out unscathed despite a relationship with him." Oh, ouch. Poor Jack -- sad, but true. Your Kate is so good - a perfect balance of concern and willingness to help. Doyle and Nadia are good too, and a nice bit of action at the end.
flood276 2008-02-07 ch 11, anon.	abuseGreat story so far, I can not wait for you to right more. I have enjoyed reading it so far.
