I love it when Will goes into planning mode. Always means lots of drama and kick ass to those who are unfair to him

Once again clever Will gets his revenge and finds a way to evade the unfairness and stupid control act that people try to do on him. He's so cool.

I wish I could 'like' rjo's review. I couldn't agree more. Stef showing Brad and Robbie the error of their ways may be the high point of this story. So cleverly cruel and every single word is deserved. Masterly done, as Wade noted. I loved the win-win / lose-lose image. Shows why Stef is a better businessman than Brad.

Every time I read this chapter I'm sort of YES ! I know revenge may be bad for you, but I loved the way Will planned this out and managed to get back at not only Martin, but hitting Brad and Robbie right were it would hurt them most. And it's even better reading it when you know what will happen in the next chapters Not saying anything but it's part of why Stef and Wade are my other favorite guys in CAP.

I'm not going to do a spoiler, but having read the later book (9.11) and come back to this one, Will's playful remark to Robbie suddenly becomes almost prophetic (Dude, I so wish one of your nephews was a clone of you). Did you already know then, what we know now?

so when do we get the rest of the story ?? and I wonder if they'll really end up selling it.

I've read Faust - or at least the first version of the story (Ur-Faust and in German too). And I'm still completely confused as to which of these two guys are bad news. Or if they both are. But I have the feeling this is how you wanted us to end up

This was fun. I really despise horoscopes, but I've got to admit that it's cute when they randomly hit the mark.

We'll try not to get our hopes up either, but at least someone is there for Benny now. Wonder if Ellis had a little talk with Dav, or the Snake actually worked this out on his own Oh and that small phone snippet got me horny too Snake sex is sooo hot !

sooo hot I was literally drooling... but I agree with the beta, the mating won't be complete until it's gone both ways.

Ha, ha that last line almost had me spewing my tea all over the keyboard. Not that it was really unexpected, clever mums just know these things. Zach's insecurities were annoying at first, but you're making them more believable and this couple more likeable with every chapter. Can't wait for the next part of the drama.

I was reminded why I liked Gathan in the beginning. He may have some issues and make wrong judgements, but he's able to face facts and change his behavior and make amends when he's wrong. Unlike Matt. Still sad about him and Wade and I'll keep hoping they have a future together at some point. But Wade needs to meet other guys and realize that no one is perfect (even if he strives to be so himself) and become less uptight. And Matt, well I'm not sure what needs to happen for him, but I hope he does 'get his shit together'. Am I being naive to have this wish? Anyway, awesome for Will that Zach is moving to California, though the non-safe sex matter was something of a bummer. Especially if it was with that girl - do you really want to complicate things with another Hayes baby?! Though Will may feel less threatened than if it was another guy. Looking forward to the next chapter, Claremont venues always seem to mean drama

I agree with JT, interesting to get an insight into Mak. Maybe someone should ask him if he thought that his mother didn't love her children equally or that he wouldn't love his children equally in the future. But on the other hand lots of parents have favorite children, even if they try to treat all of them the same. In a way it's OK that he cannot understand how it works, but it's not OK that he won't let it be. And he should be glad that Socco will leave home, so they are not in the same house.

Sometimes I hate being right. Or maybe not completely right, but having Wade tell Matt that he didn't love him anymore is a very sad consequence of Matt's inability to grow up and the fact that losing Robbie fucked him up. And 'losing' Wade as well is a pretty hard blow for Matt too (is my guess). I'm glad you said that he is still the strong person we saw in Bloodlines, that gives me hope for his future. As always Will impresses me, and I hope Zach will be there for him a long while yet.

I like Matt and I feel sorry for him. I wonder if Robbie dying made him feel that he'd lost the only person who loved him unconditionally and without expectations. Wade, JP, his adoptive parents also love Matt, but at the same time they put pressure on him by demanding a certain behavior and maturity. Robbie may have been the one person Matt relied on to care about him no matter what, and now Matt is sort of adrift in an ocean of sorrow with no idea what to do. And somehow noone seemed to realize that Matt didn't get counseling right from the start or how badly he was hurt by his loss. It doesn't excuse or explain his behavior altogether, as the various mistakes are mostly something we've seen before, but maybe if Matt had gotten some help from the start, he would not have broken down and fallen victim to his flaws and insecurities. No matter how much I like and prefer Wade and Will, I cannot hate Matt or think of him as a bad guy. He's not acting rationally or sensibly, and even if he's hurting people around him badly, I fear Matt will pay the price tenfold in the end and be very sorry that he pushed every one away. I hope we'll one day see Matt return to the CAP family as a whole person, happier and more mature - though I have to admit it's hard to see how it could happen. Unless his adoptive parents manage to realize how bad things are with Matt and actually manages to persuade him to get professional help.

Awesome, my two favorite guys having a bro moment, so we know they'll always support each other. And afterwards ganging up on stupid, insensitive, selfcentered Matt and then the rest of the family (represented by Frank) to show them how out of line they are. How dare they let Matt make a decision to cancel Will's car and pick them up ? I think and hope Brad would have put a stop to that, at least he is properly angry with Matt. I've read the reviews for ch 70 so far, and I can see I'm totally in the minority (as usual). But I don't care. I think Wade and Will are both reasonable and morally right in choosing the paths that makes sense in light of Matt's betrayal and inability to really change and admit he is wrong. I'm so glad they have each other and managed to acknowledge it in the plane, as I said above. They'll need that in the months to come. Whenever Wade agrees with Will, I know Will is being reasonable. Whenever Will feels sorry for Wade and support him, I know Wade is being hurt and wronged. And those two guys are more intelligent and loyal and have firmer principles about right and wrong than anyone except JP. I'll always support them 100 % for decisions that they have THOUGHT about - but I'll concede that they do make mistakes or at least get into bad stuff when they let their emotions rule them. That's why Wade is so determined to be in control of himself,and even if it's a bit much at times, I still admire him for being strong. And at least he is not repressing his feelings so much anymore, that was unhealthy when we met him, though he had good reasons for it. I'm not saying Wade should get rid of Matt, but I think there is a bigger chance of their love being destroyed if they are together at the moment, than if they are apart. And at least if they go to differebt colleges, it will be 'natural' for them to be separated rather than viscious break-up. But Will and Zach, how will that ever end well...

I don't agree with you ricky. There is a very easy way for Randy to stop it: just come out instead of being a silly immature twit. If Ryan could express his love openly, he wouldn't give Sean a second glance. And while I could symphatize with Randy's worry at frst, he is being a coward right now and even worse, he is being very very stupid and risking a lot. I'm almost beginning to think that Randy would deserve it if Sean managed to seduce Ryan. And in any case it would make them equal, since Randy had an affair with Tyler. On the other hand Randy's mom need to shoulder her part of the blame too. She told the police all about the abuse they suffered from Randy's dad, but she has not even thought about getting Randy and herself some counselling. A lot of his problems stem from those awful years, and she just ignores the past. And if indeed she suspects, she should just stop being weird and tell her son: "if you're gay, that's fine and Ryan is a lovely boy." Oh and Randy's problems include his deep need to be totally liked or even loved by people he mets, without even considering that they could get hurt or that he's so afraid of rejection that he'd rather hurt his boyfriend that take a risk by coming out. It's very understandable that he is like that, but he seriously pisses me off by now. All of the above just shows that you are a brilliant writer and we get totally hooked on you story and think of the characters as real people.

I like your stories, but sometimes you just beat the obvious around for too long. This whole thing about Tyler and Ariel always just missing meeting, and Randy not even considering that they might be just right for each other - that was cute the first couple of chapters. But now it's getting silly. Just have it happen, so they can be done with the misery.

I think the most ominous sentence of the whole chapter was 'Maybe one day soon.' Brrr made me shiver. Maybe Ellis' work at the hospital will be helpful in working out a solution for Benny and Yuri. Even if he just visited Yuri and talked to him, he could give Benny regular updates.

Seems like neverending drama, so glad I'm not a teenager any more. Right now I just want to kick Brett's butt for being continually stupid. Can you please cotinue the story and end their misery one way or another

Shit shit shit, how did things get out of control like that. Oh well, Brett and Brand can take turns blaming themselves for this mess. If they had been honest about being gay and in love, they could have avoided all of this. I'm sure both sets of parents would rather have had gay, healthy and noncriminal sons compared to this. If nothing else your story teaches us that the truth is less painful in the long run.

So it just got ten times worse. And kissing in the open door for anyone to see, too. Brett is being and idiot, not talking to his parents and stringing Chris along. Maybe his cousin can get somse sense into him. And Jen is letting her twin down, but I guess she is in love, so she should be excused.

Supposedly identical twins usually have the same sexual orientation, but I guess the story works better like this. However, Brett needs to work out the difference between love and lust. He'll end up breaking several hearts if he doesn't. And kissing in a public car park - he really is on the path to outing himself spectacularly.

Damn this just got way too complicated. I don't know if it's worse if Brand heard Brett say he loved him, or if he didn't hear it and thought Jane and Brett were just discussing a potential boyfriend.

Isn't Starbucks a rather public place to have this conversation ? Anyone could overhear. But Jane is once again shown to be very clever and understanding, if only Brand was a bit more like her (aplogies for spelling his name wrong in previous review).The words 'he'll come around' are always rather ominous.
