Marisol is a nasty little troll, Brandon is starting to see her ugly ways. Diya needs to draw a line in the sand, those brats will have to be upset! I hope Brandon will sit Marisol sorry bottom down and give hammer her with the words " Stay the hell out of my private life" As always this story is brillant. Thank you Bain
Author's Response:
Brandon should definitely create some boundaries for Marisol, but isn't likely to, despite the frustration he clearly feels toward her. Not so long as he has the little ones playing on his sympathies. What that'll cost him is the questions. Thanks, Bain!!!

Wow ... Diya is a good one! I wonder what is she trying to prove? Was Brandon right in his suspicions? Especially after that intimate greeting between Brandon and Marisol. The crazy thing about it is that Brandon acts as if that’s the norm. Maybe it was before Diya came into that picture, but ... wow. Would Brandon be ok with it if some dude greeted Diya that way? Heeeyyyllll naw!! It’s so obvious that Marisol carries a torch for Brandon. No doubt in my mind after this last encounter. Again, think that Marisol uses the girls to maintain her hold over Brandon. She feels like she’s starting to lose that hold after he refused to come to her rescue when she felt that Oscar was going to come for the girls.
Author's Response:
YW, Musicluva. Thanks for the awesome review!!!
Marisol does have a serious issue with boundaries when it comes to Brandon. The "why" is a little murky right now, but will become clearer as the story progresses. Until then, Diya's gotta figure if she's willing to stay mums on how she feels about the entire situation, and what it'll cost her if she doesn't.

Wow...I admire Diya being so unselfish in the midst of Marisol’s conniving to be with Brandon...I think she should trust Brandon as he is not as unaware of Marisol’s manipulation as maybe Diya thinks...but Brandon has to make Diya his choice above all else...if he can’t Diya has to let him go anyway...and Diya May be faced with a similar dilemma of choice after Bran meets her family...so brilliantly written as always...you are my favorite romance author...such talent...
Author's Response:
Aw, what an amazing compliment : D Thanks, jachannah!!!
Yeah, the tug of war has just begun...on both sides. Brandon sees what Marisol is doing, at least to a degree. The question is, what is he willing to do about it. More on that in upcoming chapters. Stay tuned...

Omg so much has happened! Marisol is something else but im glad Brandon didn't automatically give in to her. I know she's dealing with things but its good that he is establishing more boundaries. I'm so excited to see how dinner with her family is going to be. If anyone can handle her family , its brandon.

This chapter was a true page turner! I love your writing style. Diya is crazy 😄. Brandon is ... *sigh*, *swoon* d84;a039;. However, he really needs to have a true heart to heart discussion with Marisol. I don't know what kind of spell she has over Brandon, but if he truly wants to be in a serious relationship with someone, then there should be some boundaries set. I'm not saying they can't be friends, but I can imagine how frustrating it is that you can't have an "intimate", drama-free night with your man without all of the constant stalker-ish interruptions. It wasn't as if Oscar was banging on her door at that very moment. Why didn't she caller her brother Rafe if the need was that immediate?! When Brandon told her, "I'm with Diya!", I took that as having three meanings:
1. I'm in a serious relationship with someone, please fall back.
2. I'm trying to spend some quality time with my woman.
3. I'm trying to f@ck my woman, so please stop calling!
I would think Marisol could have come up with an least one of those conclusions, right?! Either she is in denial, she's trying to block, or she doesn't think it's going to last. Either way, she's playing on Brandon's emotions (again). Diya is a good one. I would have been mad as ish that he stopped mid-screw on the ascent. Sheeeiiit!!! If it weren't for the binding ropes, she should have jumped on his ass and finished without him while he was on the phone. (I’m just kiding ... well, no, not really 😈). Maybe Mariosol would get the picture then!
Can’t wait until Sunday dinner! I can already small that drama. Great update!
Author's Response:
Lol! You maybe right on all accounts. Marisol clearly doesn't see Brandon and Diya's relationship as something deserving for respect for yet to be disclosed reason. The next few chapters should shed some light on that.
Thanks sooooo much for the review, Musicluva, and for sticking in there with me, Brandon, and Diya through thick and thin!

I had to read this chapter multiple times to ingest it all...the connection between Diya and Brandon I felt to my core, which speaks to the brilliance with which you were able to convey the feelings and emotions between them...got me so in the feels...clearly you again show the amazing link between sex and love...you returned from hiatus with a vengeance...I truly LOLed at Camilla's antics towards Mal...and I wanted to shank Marisol for her sense of entitlement towards Brandon...Marisol and her horde and Diya's family will be major obstacles for our couple but I am so looking forward to the ride...I'm so happy for your return...may you be richly blessed...
Author's Response:
jahchannah!!!
You are so right. Brandon's and Diya's relationships with their nuclear and extended families will pose a number issue in their relationship. And the drama doesn't end there. More on that in coming chapters.
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, jachannah! I always enjoy reading you insight, and greatly appreciate your support and well wishes. Be blessed!

I have missed this story so much. Brandon needs to kick Marisol to the curb. She is shady and wants to break him and Diya up as evidenced by the amount of calls she makes to distract him from his relationship. I bet that if she knew that he wasn't around Diya, she wouldn't call so much to disrupt him.
Diya's family needs to let her breathe and be able to enjoy her relationship and life. She also needs to find a new job and not work for her father anymore. As long as Diya's father thinks he has control over her, he thinks he can tell her how to live her life and who to date/marry. If he wants to try and disown her, she needs to be strong enough to say "that's fine" and keep it moving with Brandon.
Even if Diya and Brandon break up (which I hope never, never happens), she needs to be strong enough to stand on her own and not be intimidated by her parents or her sisters who need to mind their own business.
I can't wait for the next chapter. This is one of my favorite stories. :-)
Author's Response:
Thanks so much, dcphoenix1!!! So glad you're enjoying my little tale : )
Marisol and William, and Brandon's and Diya's weakness for them, pose the greatest threat to their relationship. Question is, can they create the boundaries necessary to preserve what they have? Will any of the relationships survive it?
We shall see...
