*blush!*  hi JennyC!  Feel free to join the party.
HAHA, it’s me who should do the blushing here.  Some people here know that I normally stay clear discussion of explicit [cough] scenes.  But I should say that I have been gradually corrupted by the collective “raunchiness” of our genius members here.  If I don’t provide comments for some chapters, please know that I am busy blushing

If I may 
Louise, I would like to make a little plea here.  Can you write some more scenes there Ellery really kicks some a** around, whether in the court, in the office, or in the bar?  His language (ok, it’s really yours) is so humorous and colorful.  I really get a kick out of his sarcasm.
