  1. Just came across this. Powerful start.

    Chapter 2

    I am a little lost and need some guidance. I remember reading the early story or stories about William and Liam but could someone provide me with a list of stories and their order so I can reacquaint myself with the storyline and characters? Maybe reread them and pick up any I may have missed. I remember it was all worthwhile and I do not want to miss out on all that this new series has to offer.
  3. You know you could’ve put everyone out of our misery by letting the damned condom break lol
  4. I know this isn’t’ helpful but HOLY SH!T — and that is a phrase I never utter!

    Chapter 17

    Bless her heart!
  6. I came to this by way of Big Paws. The writing and creativity there were so strong that I was curious to see what else you had written. This first chapter further cements you as one of the best storytellers and literary craftsmen I have encountered. I do hope you develop this further.
  7. Your creativity and storytelling just gets better and better and better. This is an astounding tale that you are weaving.
  8. Wow! Effing intense chapter!

    Time for Jim to fish or cut bait.

    Chapter 5

    I guess you don’t know me that well, but I freaking hate cliffhanger!. Another great chapter. Many thanks.
  11. This just gets more and more fascinating!
  12. Was kinda into the story until now but you caught me with this chapter! Well written and original. I am very curious.
  13. Brings me back to when I found my son in the orphanage. Nice chapter.

    Good Eggs

    I am struck by how you put yourself (through your character) into what amounts to a different world view when you speak through Ryder. His naivete almost has the quality of someone with Asperger Syndrome or is on the Autism spectrum. I hope this comes across as a very high compliment as it is meant as such. Great writing.

    Chapter 33

    Can’t say why, but the end of this chapter brought tears to my eyes. ❤️

    Chapter 31

    I can’t forget the image of the credit card and all its implications and so I find the final two paragraphs reassuring. Great story and I really appreciate the regular and timely postings.

    I tend to read quickly but when you publish, my reading slows down to a snails pace so that I can savor every phrase and sentence.

    Chapter 21

    I am a bit slow and only just now realized that you also wrote Lucas. Your stories are a joy to read — just enough tension to move the plot but filed with love and optimism. Thank you so much!
  19. Ok, until now I kind of dismissed this story as a fun read in the style of an airport bookstand purchase — marshmallow or cotton candy. Nice writing, steamy — fun storytelling but quickly gone. The ending scene totally upended my assumptions and taught me to not to be so cavalier in my judgments. Thank you! This is really good and I am so looking forward to what you do with it.
  20. So glad your “family” and you are back. Looking forward to what is to come.
  21. “and knew that everything was going to be alright” Oh no — that phrase — it’s the kiss of death! Pandora’s box! The dark cloud behind every silver lining. The footsteps in the dark. Fasten your seatbelts because it is about to get bumpy! Kinda tried to slip than in at the very end but we know what you are about. LOL! Can’t wait to see what happens next!
  22. I think this story needs to end here. It would be much too facil to tie everything up in a neat package — “and they all lived happily ever after.” Carter and Jeremy need to ripen, to go through their inner journeys and, if it feels right, eventually come back different than who they are now. See what you can do with them, give them each a story and then see if you want to bring them back together or if they want to come back to each other.

    Chapter 3

    This is a good start to the story. It draws the reader in. Acknowledging this is 100% your process, please consider that longer chapters provide continuity and help maintain [this] readers’ interest.
  24. So am I the only one who thinks that this thing with Dillon is going to become a pretty big plot point with tears, slammed doors, broken hearts, and lots of really good make-up sex between Barrett and our hero?
