Oh man, this was such a happy chapter, including Paul getting friendlier towards Dan and the you had to ruin the whole might with the cliff hanger ! Anyway, Dan still impresses me with his kindness and intelligence, and Greg is still being considerate but also quite clear about things which annoy him.

I'm glad Greg mostly had a good time with a few moments of speculation thrown in. Kelly gets on my nerves at times, but she genuinely cares about Dan so this makes up for her silly teasing. Of course she has no idea about Paul having issues, but she ought to catch on to the fact that she's making him unconfortabe and Dan's comment about her refusing to stop even when told how she's making her victims feel was certainly not a compliment !

Ooops, angry Di and contrite Rob is not a good combination ! I like Greg for trying to help both of them deal with the situation. His sister does seem to be one to bear a grudge, so I hope she doesn't get pissed off when he finally comes out. She could be insulted about not being trusted to be told the secret sooner.

Lots of fun with skiing and joking around with Chris and Paul. The Banana drink and wet jock competition were surprises, but worked out well. Especially with Dan giving Greg a hint on how to get his sister of his back. And Rob might find out his girlfriend may feel the same as way as Paul about her boyfriend ogling strangers.

Ha, I loved the way Greg told his sister to stop interfering, serves her right. But to do her justice I guess she feels responsible for him having a nice time, since she persuaded him to go on the trip. Dan seems like a genuinely nice guy who knows how to teach skiing. And that last line had me

At first I thought, oh dear another gay guy in the closet being silly, but you managed to make him likeable and his thoughts and actions reasonable.

Very romantic, even slightly sappy. The straight stag night was hilarious. But the sentence I could relate most to was: "The thought of her living in the house and infecting it with… femininity, makes me shudder." I know just how he feels. Brrr

For some reason this image has become stuck in my head, which is beginning to annoy me.

Thank you Irri, this is certainly high praise and very welcome since I work hard to keep the story flowing smoothly. I'm not quite sure who you are refering to with the money/job/neighbors reference, but I assume it's Jacob. Please elaborate in the forum so we can have a proper discussion about your reservations. They may be useful for future chapters.

But the mother could have had any number of brothers or cousins with the same name and David could be the dumb offspring of any of those. It will be interesting to find out if this Parnell is just a jerk on principle or he carries a grudge against JP's family. The latter could hint at the conspiracy you want.

Such an ominous start. And the sadness of Dustin not being in Simon's life is heartbreaking. But Jodie almost redeems herself from the silly behavior in the previous novella.

Absolutely perfect ! Zach showed the intelligence and deviousness I've always believed he has, and I'm not sure it has anything to do with being around Will. If anyone else needs credit, I think it should be Matt for the talk he had with Zach on the beach after Will blew up over the camp matter. Anyway, I loved the way Zach got coach Lad on his side, and I'm sure giving his ankle a rest was a good idea. When he tells Will about the whole thing, it will be cool that he had to stay away. And I bet that coach Lad will pay Will special attention at the next game in order to show any other idiots on the team that they need to shut up. I'm guessing Will is going to pay a PI to dig up things about Parnell and feed them to Zach so he can use it as ammo to shoot the jerk down. Zach would love that, whereas he might be upset if Will fought his battles for him. If Will feels particularly he might pass the name on to Brad and Stef and tell them the guy is trying to provoke Zach and out him.

I'm not sure it was a mistake that Luca said he had to go meet his vampire contact even if it was daylight. It may have been just a way to dismiss the Alphas, but it could also mean he had to prepare himself before going on a vampire hunt. I agree it' more fun if the meeting was unexpected for his 'contact'. I didn't mind the repetition of the phone conversation, in fact I liked that we got to see Mika's thoughts and the surprise telepathy. The twins are fun, hope we see more of them.

I agree with the other reviewers that you did a good job of introducing us to Lovel's pack, or at least to some of the important members. It seems Liam is gay too, and I laughed at the Alpha reaction to his brother trying to flirt. I guessing Chance and Mika may become good friends, since they seem the same age and both shy. The Alpha meeting was interesting and I like that they are aware of the need to work together, in spite of the occasional bickering.

All fixed now and I guess we can concluded that Gavin is more than ready to be told about Tate, LOL. I can just imagine the scene: Gavin: "I'm having these weird dreams, Tate." Tate: "Yeah? What about?" Gavin: "Well, I'm out in the forest, and I see you turn into a huge black bear, and then we cuddle." Tate: "Would you like your dream to come true?"

Very hot, but also sweet in the way they were still a bit hesitant about how far to progress. I think Tate needs to come clean about the bear thing soon, and the best way would be to ask about the tattoo.

The clucking hen server at the restaurant had me in convulsions, god she would have driven me crazy. But I'm glad they managed to have a nice talk and work out that they were both serious about their relationship.

I feel the same. I wanted them to rescue the two guys, but I understand why they made the choice to silence them. However, in order to make it up to them, they should hire them on the ship, because they may have a hard time getting jobs with a record of drug abuse and crazy rantings. Since The ship is probably still not a full crew size, it would make sense and seem fairly natural. A shame they can't rescue the poor twins, but that would be even more dangerous.

Aww shucks AC, now you have me from all the praise. It was no more than what you and your story deserved.

It was a pleasure to do the review and hopefully alert other readers to the awesome tale of Simon.

I wanted to cheer out loud. Well done, Jay, both on defending your (potential) boyfriend and on calling your bitchy sister on her shallow mind. Not the best prospect of support if he comes out.

I'm lucky, I didn't need the foot notes as I can read German. It's sobering to think that nothing much has changed in 100 years. There is still suspicion against foreigners in our midst when we are at odds with their former nation.

Sweet, but I'm unable to work out what Miles had said before the first line of the story and why he thought he had to walk off afterwards.

I've never had a dog, but my grandparents did. I can remember coming home from school and my mum telling me that her father had shot the Alsatian who had been with them my whole life because he was old and sick. I'm not ahamed to admit I cried. A lot. And you story brought the pain back, but also memories of a wonderful dog. I had a picture of him on my shelf for years.

No matter how many times I read this story I'm always smiling happily at the end, knowing that all three guys got what they deserved and longed for. Taylan will be good for both Gilmore men, and I think he'll never regret letting Mitchell woo him.
