Wow, I think that is the longest and most thoroughly positive review I've got yet! You like everything about my story! Awesome (except blue-eyed boy huh? hmmm I do start to run out of ways to refer to each of the boys. Straight romance writing must be sooooo much easier with the 'she' and the 'he' etc ... writing gay romance is tricky ... so many 'he, his hims' you have no idea how long I spent re-writing those kissing scenes so it didn't sound like: then Haze did this and then Blake did that) ... hmmm look at me. You write a 1000 positive words and I hone in on the one 'hesitation' - Blake would do that too wouldnt he ... Anyway I am super happy you liked it so much, that you can relate to bits and that you find my characters and story genuine and interesting. Now after all that I would think the least I could do is post another chapter soon hey? It is coming along, just a lot slower lately. Work's been a pain and my own health (mental health actually and no that is not rude) is a bit rough at the moment so its been harder to write. But I am still at it and should have the next chappy out soon. NEway thanks for taking the time to write me ... it helps massively with motivation.

Hey a new reviewer thanks for letting me know. New chapter coming soon ...

I dunno about awesome ... Shucks ... But thank you for the review!

Weary?! As in boring or depressing or both. Hmmm ... not sure I like the weary bit but the rest of this review is awesome, glad you 'slugged it out'. it was a bit of a tear jerker ... maybe i need some more of that ... hmmmmm

Yeah I did get a lot for this chapter huh! Guess I did leave it for ages though ... maybe thats the trick to getting more ... hmmmm ... anyway, definitely a bit of lust in this chapter hey. No sex but ... I wonder if im gonna write a sex scene. Never done that before. How hard can it be?

Haha! Guessing at my plot ... you know how I hate it when people are close the right track. Means I have to change my story again ... I don't think Penelope Herrington is gonna be pleased re Blake/Haze though ... that is a given. Anyway, thanks for the review!

Afraid I'd quit? No! Surely not. Not when things are finally starting to happen! You've described nicely what I think makes a good couple, where thy're better as a pair than apart. Course they only just started trusting each other and that trust hasn't been tested. Yet Maybe soon but. Anyway, thanks heaps for your review!

True true Rosicky ... I don't think you can shake it out of anyone, its gotta come from within and as you say only when they're in a safe place. And also if my characters werent so insecure they'd have got further by now and I'd have less of a story! Thanks for the review.

I'm glad you feel sorry for Haze ... cause you're meant to! Although some readers seem to think he's a bit of a jerk ... hmmm maybe I need to work on explaining more how he got that way. I think you are on the right track with the source of his issues but ... Thanks for the review!

Yeah I think I will go easy on Blake for a bit. He deserves 'some' happiness as you say. Lets make some at least a chapter hey?

Awww ... now u got me all embarrassed. Thanks Checkmate, you say such nice things, I am glad you like. While I will try to get another chapter out soon I wont rush ... I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist and take forever!

Thanks benji! Glad u liked. The story is definitely continuing I've just been struggling to get to it often enough lately. The mum is pretty awful hey ... But she's only just warming up! Stay tuned

Yeah I think it's funny how sometimes you have to let something go to make it come. Blake had enough and let go long enough to get thru. Don't think he could've succeeded if he'd been trying ... The anxiety woulda got in the way. At least thtat was what I was trying to make out. Having won but he's back to nerves again. So now how's he gonna go? Still maybe they can draw on the promise to trust and see where that takes em ... I'll try not to take so long next time!

Everyday is overly optimistic ... They take a while to write ya know! Yeah I'm getting to explaining Haze ... Finally! He can come across like a bit of a dick, but hopefully when Blake and the reader get past that prickly exterior .... Maybe you will end up finding Haze more attractive

Haha research ... Yeah, no research required ... Came from the top of my head which says something about me hey LOL ... Glad u enjoyed thanks for the review

Wow ... U really write amazing reviews Adiel ... I'm somewhere between chuffed and totally embarrassed ... I mean I don't know what a cornhusker is but Eric bana undressed is great use of imagery to underscore your point. I'm glad u liked the emotional roller coaster again ... It did tend to go up and down a lot this time hey? I was tempted to stay on the downward trend for a few chapters but after the last couple of months I needed to write something happier for my own sake. So I decided to quickly pull Blake up again this time. And to keep it there I decided the next chapter would be more pleasant too. Fluffier I think or at least that's what I'm thinking one. But yeah u r right, heaps more to explain about Haze ... Coming soon! Thanks again for your awesome review!

Hey there b glad you liked ... Enough to have u rambling even huh? yeah haze is still a mystery, but more to be revealed when they hang out tomorrow no doubt. Thanks for the review!

Thank u charlieocho .... I'll try not to keep u waiting as long this time! Thanks for the review.

U like the way the story is progressing ie really slowly huh?I'll have to post my next update in December Haha ... Naah I know wot u mean thanks for the review!

Haha I do that with stories I read too! good to have a decent bit to read ... Also helps you to mitigate those nasty cliffhangers authors leave you in huh? Hope u enjoy the next two

Hello! I have finally posted chapter 20 of my story A New Life Thanks for being so patient with me! Let me know what you think

never had a video review before I gotta admit!

If Blake had been able to see all of the houses in Kulibari Bay at once, in some sort of police line-up, he felt certain he could have guessed this one belonged to Mrs Herrington. Standing in front of the place now, it seemed obvious to him, with its huge second floor balcony overlooking the bay, its wall-to-floor windows, and its spacious lawns and gardens. Whereas every other house in town seemed to be made of fibro, this one was at least partially concrete, the first story rendered and pai

Haha ... awww ... I can't say no to that face! Not long now. Am working on it!

Hello there and thank you for the review! I am sorry about how long it's taking to get the next chapter out ... I got sick for ages then had troubles with work have found it difficult to get back into where I was with this tale ... I wrote some more last night though so it's still a work in progress. Check back soon!
