And what a happy, fun beach chapter you wrote! But I think Ranger (& group) still let Oshanna off too easily. Personally, I would’ve reminded her of the original video, which would’ve led to Steph wanting to see it if everyone else had. I would’ve let Steph take it from there; as it is, she probably wound up comforting Oshanna while Ranger was having his talk with the men. Either way though, still loving this story & can’t wait to read more!

OK, I know this story is complete & has been posted for more than a year, but I’m going to answer your AN question anyway. Yes! Ranger should definitely have tried to keep his arrogant, selfish, good-for-nothing brat of a manipulative brother separate from the family! I still don’t trust that there isn’t more going on with him. Not that I feel strongly either way...haha!

I knew it was going to happen, just didn’t know when! I knew Steph was going to go off about Skylar & the way Ranger interacts with her & why. You do make me laugh...

Oh my gosh, this chapter was smokin’ & the last chapter had me in stitches. Your sense of humor cracks me up. Between Ranger & his ship activities—drinking game night with Steph & siblings & Zumba & spa time with teenage girls, plus your ANs about little fish, you had me laughing out loud. Turned that right around though with your first attempt at smut! Still can’t believe it was your first. Thoroughly enjoying this story & I'm right there with you to thank your sister & Sassysaint (huge fan) for making this such an enjoyable read. Onto the next chapter...

I am so thrilled to have found this story & cannot say enough about how much I am enjoying it! I love a well written, lengthy chapter story with a lot of mystery, adventure & romance. This one certainly seems to have all that with its unique & dark plot & in-depth family drama. As for Julio, finally a story that has Ranger dealing like so many of us with a miscreant ne’er-do-well in the family! Really looking forward to seeing where you & your muse take us. Onto the next chapter...

First off, to be clear, I absolutely loved this story, it was a great story and really showed to what lengths Ranger would go to save the people he loves. You had me hooked from the beginning, with a riveting storyline and fast-moving plot, especially for the first 25 or so chapters. Your "romance" between Steph and Ranger was hot, to say the least.
However, I felt that the last few chapters didn't really build the plot or develop the characters. While I did enjoy learning about Hawaii and I am thinking about visiting the places you mentioned, I found myself skimming through to get back to juicier points. However, it was a great first story and I'm looking forward to the sequel.
On another note, I'm a New York girl and have been to several Jersey weddings, downstate New Yorkers (especially) and New Jersians typically do not have balloons at wedding receptions, ever. The venues are decorated with flowers on the table, and usually, the venues are fancy that they don't need many decorations. Chair covers and table linens, along with fancy centerpieces usually are enough. I knew wedding traditions in other parts of the country are different, so I just wanted to give the Northeast flavor.
Also, most weddings are sit down dinners, especially large, family weddings (even afternoon weddings). But again, this is fanfiction and we are allowed to write what we imagine, so you can write whatever you want. I don't mean it as a criticism. I'm an author too and I often take artistic license.
Finally, at some point, you need to address the need for both Stephanie and Ranger to have had an annulment at some point in their past. In your story, they both had church weddings the first time. In Catholic tradition, once you divorce, you cannot get remarried in the Church unless your first marriage was annulled by the Church, which is a long, lengthy process (at least six months). Stephanie would have had no problems, as she was only married a short time with no children. Ranger would be more difficult because of Julie, and the Church's archaic stance on family values and divorce. A simple sentence or two explaining that they had gotten them years ago could work, especially since Rachel is remarried they could have gotten one to enable her to marry Ron in the Church.
As I said in the beginning, I love this story and look forward to reading more from you in the future. I eagerly await your follow up story, Saving Stephanie.

I'm so glad Steph went without a fuss. Bring stuck on a private island with Ranger sounds fantastic! I'd go in a heartbeat. Does she ditch Morelli before she leaves so she can have guilt free sex? That would be fantastic too!

Wow! Ranger's family is a piece of work. And Julio! What a whiner.
Please tell me the really uncooperative and self centered ones will have some sort of Come to Jesus experience!

This is a good story, such energy!
I just want to point out one small thing. During the gunfire, you had people running for cover in bushes. Bushes might provide concealment, but for cover you need, say, a stone wall, something bullets can't pass through. Just sayin'.
Back to the mayhem!

Such an awesome story. You put a lot of thought and effort into the characters and their personalities. I love the dynamic with Ranger and his parents and how that effects certain aspects of his relationships with his siblings. I hope you keep writing and developing your characters, especially Stephanie. I think you have set her up with potential, so give her a reason to grow and be the strong woman that Ranger sees her as. I'll Be looking forward to the sequel to be complete.

This was an amazing effort for your first fanfic. I always love when a story includes the Manoso family. Thanks for sharing all your hard work with us.

So I don't often review in the middle of a story, but I feel like I should be guessing who or where this leak is. I would hate to say there is a rangeman leak, be it in the office or within the crew on the protection detail. Easy guess would be Julio with his care less attitude, be it he was followed back to the house or blatantly given them away by making calls or emails and erasing the history. Could it be the travel agent? She's a wife of an old ranger buddy so it's possible that information regarding her was leaked and this info about Ranger and family is a bonus. Does someone have a credit card or cell phone they didn't turn in that they have been using? Has the pilot or flight crew given information away? Location or other things that have been talked about while on the flight. I guess I'll keep reading and guessing to see what happens and where the leak is.

Have enjoyed following along with this story. I am hoping that in Saving Stephanie, unlike what JE has done with the character, that we see her start to mature and act more like an adult rather than a whiny college student. Hoping that she grows to be the kind of partner that Carlos deserves, both as a romantic as well as a business partner.
Stephanie has great people skills as well as she is very intuitive. With her new wealth maybe we will see her start to work in the communities where there are RangeMan offices where she is helping the wayward youths, where some of them are identified as future RangeMan employees or the network that RangeMan can build to help better those same communities.
Thank you for taking the time to write the stories and give new depths to these characters that we have all grown to love (or be annoyed by). Hope to see more in the future.
