Oh i just cant wait to find out what spike does when he finds out hank beats buffy - i loves me a bit of a revenging hero in my men!! PLEASE update soon!!!!!!!!!!! *offers firstborn as bribe* (or chocolate. whatevs)

Author's Response: Oh, you'll be very happy with the next chapter then. *giggles* I will try to update as soon as this laryngitis allows. ;) You're too funny. Thankee for reviewing and making me laugh wit your offer. ;) Not that I don't appreciate it, but my daughters are awfully jealous, so I'll accept the chocolate bribe. ;)

I`ve just read the first 6 chapters and I must say, I am very impressed. I love how Frec cares for her brother and I really like Spike`s character in it.

Author's Response: Awww, thank you so very much! I'm sooo happyI could impress you with this story and that you're liking Spike in it! I love Fred, too, she's a delight to write. :D

Oh please update soon!!! please please please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm absolutely begging you!!! only just found this fic today and I'm dying to read more

Author's Response: thank you so much!

Oh please update soon!!! please please please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm absolutely begging you!!! only just found this fic today and I'm dying to read more

Author's Response: Thank you very much for your review, darling! I promise I'll try my best to update as soon as I can. *hugs*

Now you have left us with poor Elizabeth with her father and a "horse whip".. And if he does discipline her physically I wonder what William/Spike will say ?

Can't wait to find out what Fred has in mind..

Almost sent an email beggin' for an update.. Pleasantly surprise when I saw your post today..
BTW.. second review .. first one did not show.. hate the code..

Author's Response: Yeah, I know it was a bit evil, but I really couldn't bring myself to write it, it would've been worse and I had to show how Hank treats Buffy. What will Spike say? I don't think he'll be happy when he finds out. Downright pissed is more likely to be how he'll be.

Hee, I think you'll enjoy what she has in mind. *giggles*

Awww, thank you for that, I truly appreciate that you missed my story. Sorry for the delay, I'll try to keep up with the regular updates. *hugs*

Ugh, yeah, i hate the code, too. It takes forever to review sometimes.

Loved it and am really looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Yay! I'm so delighted you loved it. :D Thank you so much for reviewing! *hugs*

Looking forward to read more of this lovely story of yours :) Sweet kisses in the garden, she can't resist him, still the tension is there, making it interesting. Oh, and I have read The Divine Comedy, at least the two first parts :) I don't remember why I didn't read Paradise, I have to read that part as well :) *hugs and kisses* / Ariadne

Author's Response: Thank you, cariño! You made my month with your lovely reviews. I'm glad you're enjoying the story so much. :D And i hope you enjoy reading Paradise. ;) *hugs* Mari

It must be hard to marry someone you don't even know... Yes, love can grow, but not in all cases. Will Buffy be able to love Spike? That's the question...

Author's Response: I imagine it must be very hard. Living in that era must have been hell for women. Hee, you'll find out eventually if she'll be able to love him. Thanks for reviewing!

I already love it and I'll read more tomorrow! I've been thinking about starting reading this for a while and I'm glad I did. This looks very promising :) / Ariadne

Author's Response: Hee, thank you! I'm very glad you gave it a try, too. *hugs*

Spike can call himself lucky that he won the hand of Buffy (even if she doesn't want to). But I have the feeling that Angel wouldn't be so happy to get to know how clever Buffy really is.
And on a side-note; thanks to reading a fanfic here I could have told you that that 'the spot' belonged to Macbeth. ;-) Reading is very helpful, even fanfic ;-)
Loved the interaction between them. Spike is right, they fit together with Buffy having spirit / fire.
~ Enjoyed the update :) Looking forward to William's other plans.

Author's Response: And you'd be very right about Angel. While Spike will encourage her to be herself with him, she would have have to be someone else with Angel.
*lol* I agree, reading fanfic or whatever type of story you choose is very helpful. ;)
Yes, Spike is right, but now he has to convince her of that, doesn't he? *giggles* And hopefully now that AoI is finished I'll have more time to devote to this story. Thank you so much for reviewing!

Like, like, like, no LOVE. Buffy's gonna have to admit defeat - I mean really who could resist him? She'd have stood more chance of putting him off if she'd pretended to be stupid, simpering little girl. Cannot wait to read more - fab - and congrats on your good news, cannot imagine how much of a relief that must be.

Author's Response: Awww, thank you so very much! Hee, yes, she's going to, just not yet. Buffy's too stubborn for her own good. *lol* Her pretending to be a stupid, simpering little girl never entered my mind, but considering the times back then it was easier for her to imagine her intelligence will put him off. ;) and yes, the good news felt as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. *hugs*

Author's Response: I imagine the review monster ate this. ;) Thankee anyway. :D

Oh, honey, you managed to convey such heat between them with nothing more than a kiss!!! This was a wonderful update. I love how Buffy finds her body reacting to him despite how she thinks she feels (or really feels for now). This phrase: She might run, but she couldn’t hide, not from him. “Let’s see how you like dealin’ with the Big Bad, love,” he muttered to himself before following her. had my knees buckling and I cannot wait to see how Spike proceeds with the seduction!

*hugs* (please update soon)

PS. I'm still a bit ditzy from last night, so I'm sorry if the review didn't make a whole lot of sense. But I loved it. And it was hooooooooot! :-D

Author's Response: Awww, thankee, darling! *blushes* I love knowing you liked their first kiss. Spike insisted on it being like that, naughty boy that he is. He caught me completely by surprise, not that I minded. ;) And yes, poor Buffy will be helpless to his seduction, me thinks, even if she'll kept fighting him every step of the way.

*hugs* I'll try my best. ;)

Ditzy? Why? And yes, it did make sense, no worries. :D *more hugs*
