Northern Dutch Guy

There used to be an option where you could have the whole story for reading or download instead of in chapters. Loved that option to read stories again like during holidays. I cant find that option any longer or do I overlook that possibility ?

Sex outside... I think that is a problem for all couples. It is all about trust and personal feelings. You have to be very good together and know each other well to have sex outside and trust it will not become an affair . A group sex session, omg I do not think I would like to see my partner doing that. Nor would he me. He is not that type of guy. And he would react like Jösse ! They should have talked more about what each did before. And Brian... omg he obvious can't realise probably is too blind that Jösse is not used to that type of sex. Come on Jösse has only a crush on one guy not a crush on an orgy... Brian knows this stuff but I think Jösse did not realise it. But they will come to terms I think. Real love and meeting a guy you feel so good around... want to grow old with OMG that does not happen often.

Thanks for the chapter. I liked the development of the story and characters. We get to know more and more about the characters you created and their history. Hey spooning up with your lover is in my POV the ultimate of feeling trusted and save. Hey again my POV. It is like a long safe feeling tender hug... So I guess it works that way for your characters as well and Demons will loose their fight with them as well when doing that. You created quite a bunch of friends with very different backgrounds and with very different sexual history as well. But all want that special feeling ... Love and be loved.Jösse's worries about his friends partners... may be right but... will give them a less loved feeling.Accept them as they are. Show them how to be a good friend and a loved partner. You can't do more. But their love life and troubles are theirs. Show them if there are troubles you can work them out instead of the easiest way... breaking up. Have fun writing Andy G

Thanks for the chapter. Liked it. It is one of the risks for couples, nightlife with so many hunters in the club. In situations like this it is so easy to get distracted and split up and suddenly do something you may/will regret many times afterwards. I agree with Puppilull that type of actions cause hearth brake and loneliness and yes the sadness of being abused when young will hunt you many many years. There are a lot of characters in this story with that type of history. Andy G

Well done chapter. Funny, hilarious and... my days in the gay scene are so many years in the past ... but reading this, It's almost I feel I'm right there with Jösse and Jimmy discovering and seeing it almost 1st time in the present. But also for lovers/couples nightlife like this is a dangerous environment for a relationship. Keep writing. Andy G

Nice chapter, and OMG Brian and Jösse, they move fast forward. But lube only ? I mean, a medical student with a history of many sexual partners... it seems a bit irresponsable for/towards his new found lover.

Reading the other comments here, I'm not sure about Sabrina telling Brian about Jösse for it can also imply some real bad stuff. And not all people want/can deal with a partner with a troubled history. But also it may be an eye opener for Brian. He seems to realise now the big differences between making love and having sex. W'll see if it sticks with him.

Nice you way you wrote how Brian and Jösse feel that strong pull, feel drawn together.

Again I agree with Timothy. Sometimes there is this sudden crush between young people... and if they find time to deepen it it might turn very serious long term. Snowflake interrupted that good time in a bad way. Bad for all. Come on you cann't walk into a 'hotel' bedroom from one of your paying guests! Snowflake discredited himself doing that in my POV but we will see how things go on . Hey I like the story so far.

OMG... sex scenes can be soo... bad. But this was so fucking hot ... reading A scene well done

I agree with Timothy ... this was hilarious. And as I have been a trainer lots of years, no not any snow sports but soccer... but you need to have that 'touch' to make guys work the way you want them. But as i was a trainer of youths... I could not leave a hand print that way ... LOL. And i was not even out that time !

A nice battle started of ego's and... characters. There were not many words between both guys but... don't we all have sometimes more thoughts than words... Our brain usually works faster than our mouth. LOL. Well mine does...

Just today started reading this story. Loved the start of the story. Some nice characters to start with.

Mark says: My favorite story is: Odyssey, from the Bridgemont series. I'm really proud of that one because of all the meticulous research I had to do, and how carefully I had to plot out the timeline. I had to get my hero from England, around the world via Indonesia and India, and to Egypt in time for the Battle of the Nile, all of this in 1798. Mark, thanks for your words here. Odyssey is also one of my favorite stories. Lots of stuff happened and in my POV you can only pull a story like this off if your research is good. I think you and your team did a great job. But you and your team seem to do that type of research all the time so... I wasn't really surprised. Also I like that descendants of Granger turn up in your latest CAP stories I look forward to new chapters/stories from you here. Have fun writing

I have read all the Bridgemont stories. I loved reading them. Yes it is like Timothy said above a bit like the Hornblower saga. The Bridgemont series take place in a historical setting, just pre Napoleon till so far. In my opinion you have to do a lot of research work (about shipping, organization of British military, etc at that time) to make that work. And it is something Mark does. Also his series were updated with new chapters almost weekly, so it was easy to stay in the flow of the stories. I think he writes very skilfully. You can find almost no errors/typos and I really like the the development of his characters and the way they interact. So it is no wonder he is also one of my favorite writers here. Mark thanks for posting your stories here.

Lisa and SquirreI I think you both said it very well. Please realise I'm not a native English speaking guy. And it was only after my highschool years I started reading English books a lot. After highschool end of the 70-ies I started reading Desmond Bagley, Hammond Innes, Mary Renault, Leon Uris, Wilbur Smith, Ken Follett... And oh yes lots of older science fiction authors like Isaac Asimov , Frank Herbert... for the books were cheap... and I also happened to like them. But OMG I hated reading the translations in Dutch. And as soon I read one in English I was hooked. So I started buying and reading them in English. As a reader what I certainly do not like is that (as a non native English speaking guy) even I can find errors/typos a lot. Now what I like on Gay Authors best is that there are lots of good stories. Well written and almost professional good edited. Have fun writing (and to the helpers editing... to make them almost perfect).

I realise you wrote this long time ago... loved it. well done.

Hi Mark thanks for the last chapter of this book. I do hope you will follow up soon with a new series with Granger as the main character. The cliff hanger was not what I expected. OMG a room full of terrible memorablia... Granger did never expected or wanted... Nor would I. What I liked was the discussion and both POV from Caroline and Granger. Love can be a battlefield sometimes. But a relationship also means in my POV that you both realise you need to make peace again and a fight once a while and restoring the good only deepens the bonding... again in my POV. What I missed these last chapters were his kids being around. Or are they on boarding schools ? The oldest now are teenagers I think... You write beautifull about their connection with adults in the CAP line stories and I would have expected some of that connection again here as well now the kids grow older. I know it is a different era... Thanks for the story and have fun writing a new 'Granger' action book. I look forward to it. Love, Hugs Andy G.

I'm sure some big stuff will happen soon in this story. In my POV Lizzy cannot be trusted. So is Lizzies 'rape' just some part of the scheme ? Just an attempt to brake up Brad and family and Wade?Family is important for Wade. So he is now in a difficult situation whom to trust. And if Wade chooses his own family side what about him and Matt ?

I guess you are not the only one who is confused at this point in the story. The struggle with Lizzy and the plane accident in my POV may /or may not be part of the same struggle. And Lizzy could 'her rape' be an attempt to devide the opposing family ? Certainly she brought Wade in a difficult situation. Whom to trust and what side to choose.

CSR I love them. Thanks for bringing this story here. A busy time... these days but will start reading soon. Mikiesboy I read some of your stories and loved them. Thanks, have fun writing and if you do I think lots of people will have fun reading. love, hugs, and NDG

Mark thanks for being back writing this story. One of my favourites. I simply love the Granger character. A guy who oozes love and stimulate people to become better and go on. But he NEEDS love as well. He is so lucky some people are looking out for him. Spencer bringing Calvert back in his live. And Daventry steering him back to Caroline. Granger still knows he and Caroline are a good team but... that barier ... in their love... you wrote beautifull about that all these chapters and I long for the moment they will clear that hurdle. I think it will set Granger's mind free for his adventure on the Canal Fleet. thanks for being back an have fun writing more Love ND G

Loved this X-mas week. Mark Arbour is back this week with 2 chapters !!!!

Funny story. Stumbled into it because of the anthology... Not the type of stories that are my favourite types but it was so funny I would love to read more chapters.

Valkyrie, loved the story. Lots of people make mistakes when young. And growing up in a violent situation... is a bad start. Parents are role models and... bad parents can cause bad behaviour. I loved the story for you wrote it beautifull from the pov of an abusive guy after he realised what he did. Coping with going on ... and giving his abusive behaviour a place. Yes I think people can change. Bad people can become good and good people can go bad. --- I liked the story so far. And I can see you writing more from this point on. Would love it.
