Hello everyone. Sorry I'm late to this hot debate but I've only just joined.
Shane is gay. He + Trevor fall in love and sail off into the sunset to bicker and tease happily ever after. Otherwise what's the point? It's a love story! It's Mills & Boon. Alright, Mills & Boon with pirates. OK it's M&B with pirates + drug dealers. And murder (maybe). Oh and some red herrings, evil cliffhangers, bombs, dastardly twists, devilish scheming and, and ... did I mention cliffhangers?
But apart from all that it's Mills & Boon. Let's call it Mills & Boon Plus. CJ's not stupid. He knows he will be hunted down and severely punished if he kills or (seriously) harms the two soon-to-be lovers. Some mild trauma is permitted - bruising and scratching, perhaps a small but rakish and "get-'em-all-hot-and-bothered" facial scar, maybe some broken limbs too provided they're repairable without the need for an ill-fitting prosthesis. Doesn't matter where CJ chooses to flee, no corner of this good Earth is safe - he will be found and made to regret any ending that does not comply with Mills & Boon Plus happy-ending story requirements.
