I really liked this chapter for the way Darrell and Trent became so much closer, makes me wish I had a brother like that. But I want to hit the father on his stupid head, what a jerk.

Well, well Levi is gay and likes Paddy, and Noah is another bear shifter (I think). Poor Troy, his insecurities would probably make him very jealous and pissed, if they did not have the mating bond. So at least it's good for something, though I hope Troy can manage to share Paddy with Noah as a friend when they find out that he is a bear. I wonder what he told Levi. Wonder even more what Troy and his mum did to punish the two poachers, hope it was something rather nasty involving a long hunt and final confrontation in fur. But I guess that may not have been possible.

A good thriller with some serious sobs stuff and a nice romance. But I think you are making the Feds out to be more stupid than is reasonable. I'm sure they would have considered the risk of Ry being tailed. And how could they miss the bad guys arriving at the cabin, especially as Nat had just told Mark how this could not happen. But I guess a dramatic end is better than realism.

Just happened across this story and I liked it a lot. Nice to see a guy hold on to his principles and his friends be supportive - but also give in when it is appropiate to do so. Knox was very lucky to have Silver and I'm glad he knew it and committed.

Yikes more potential conflicts, issues and differences: Spiritual vs cynical (but I'm almost with Troy here, though I can go with Paddy's form of religion better than if he was Calvinist or something like that) Selfcontained and selfconfident vs insecure and restless From a large, loving and accepting family vs - well we don't know, but something's wrong in relation to Troy's father (wonder if he got shot). Hopefully he'll open up tonight. And Paddy's instincts seem to be spot on. Troy certainly needs to be cared for, cosseted with grooming, and other physical ways of expressing and cementing their connection. Yeah, some TLC and honest talk is just what they need, hope they get time for it. Bet Troy purrs when his hair is brushed. Great story, can't wait for the next chapter. Hope the bitchy vegan gets slapped down. I really find vegans silly, primates including humans are carnivores, and pretending otherwise is nonsense.

Fun but ripe with potential conflicts: Carnivore versus herbivore (though they can probably bond over fish :-) Gay versus straight (that's really going to be fun to work out) Out and easy going versus closeted and worried Add the problem with not being able to be apart while the mate bond solidifies (and how come nobody told them of this and how long it will take ?) and having to try an conceal that they are a couple (or at least not be too obvious about it), well it should be very interesting to read the next chapters. And I also look forward to the first time they shift together, hope they can find time and space to do that, and get away with it without being spotted. Can you imagine the uproar if any children see them and tell their parents !

Pilkvist - a very Nordic name indeed (means willow twig or arrow twig, depending on how you translate pil). How did you come up with that ? And I guess Troy will be a shifter modelled on Lynx lynx (relatively common in Scandinavia) and not a Canadian lynx. Hot story of course, fun idea with a reverse relationship development: fuck first then get to know each other :-) I'm sure you'll have fun comin up with all sorts of awkward but funny conversations and situations. Oh and my usual nitpicking: The only people who smelt like that we (should be were) other bears and he couldn’t possibly be another bear. There wasn’t a single clan in this country Paddy hadn’t either met, or wasn’t related too, or both (should be or was related to - as it's parallel to 'met': either met or was, not parallel to hadn't). Sorry, just saying...

Just finished reading this story for the second time, it's great and I really like Scott and the unintentional drama he causes. Good work on the various characters around him as well. The only disappointment was the lack of intimate details, not that there has to be sex in a story but it just seemed strange that the emotional fumbling was not enhanced by the physical akwardness which surely would occur, mainly because Luke was totally repressed and thus innocent. In fact seeing as Scott was the first person Luke kissed, I would not expect much to happen on the first night (not to mention the lack of lube and condoms), and not even the second time either. But somehow the lack of info gave the impression that they went all the way - at least the night Nigel caught them. But maybe my imagination is too vivid. In any case, I think the story would have benefitted from showing those vulnerable moments in such a new and rocky relationship. And I wouldn't mind a sequel, either.

So if Slade was so sore after the first time, why did Aaron not let him top this time ? It seems to imply a very unequal relationship, and I feel you are thinking in traditional male/female roles. I know that some gay couples are very top/bottom fixed, but for young inexperienced guys it does not seem logical that they would be like this without even dicussing it. Rather they should experiment both ways, also because it would help knowing how it feels to receive as well as give.

That was a dramatic ending to the story, but pretty cool too. And I loved the swimming costume scene, funny and hot as hell. The hillybillies were good sidekicks. I'm sure if you wrote the story again today, it would be much longer and some things would be a bit different. But all in all it's a great story, and the 'psychic' aspect worked out too.

I have to admit that I hadn't worked out how Charlie, Chet and Maggie were really connected. But I admire Maggie for her great heart in spite of her bad luck in love. Wonder if they'll all start living together now. I guess some readers might freak out about the brother sex part, but I'm not worried, it seemed pretty harmless. On the other hand the bit where Miles licked Will's willie after it had been up his bum made me go 'yuck'.

Glad to see Chet and Charlie taking charge of the mess that Jamie's life is, that was a relief. The cream your pants scenes were funny. I just ignore their age, thay seem more mature anyway, but very innocent too, in spite of the sex stuff going on. And yes you're right, I do think too much, but thanks for the response and explanations for my ch 1 review. But I can't help pointing out a couple of things again: Want me to tell you the future that I saw when I shook your hand?" Miles rolled up on an elbow facing Jamie. Jamie did the same to listen. He knew what Jamie saw would come to pass. It always did. The last two sentences had me confused. First of all, it's Miles who has visions, not Jamie, isn't it ? (But I guess that was just a name mistake). But how does Jamie know that the visions always come true ? He has only heard about the one involving him, hasn't he ? Or did I miss something ? And during the fishing trip Jamie says that Miles has black hair, but in ch 1 his hair was dark brown, I think. Anyway, those are only small and insignificant matters, the main thing is that the story is developing nicely. On to the next chapter after the little cliff hanger.

Such an intense story, showing the need of two badly wounded young men to feel human and loved again. And I liked it even more when I found out that there is a sequel.

Another brilliant book. I liked the new aspect of Granger having to solve problems at home, the drama with Davina and Freddie was unexpected, but especially Caroline's affair and the way Granger handled that was impressive. And you did a very good job on showing us how upset Granger was from feeling abandonded and how much Chartley helped him - until he also left him so suddenly, but for good reasons. The fact that I'm reading this series for the second time has actually increased my enjoyment, because some of the events that I did not think much about the first time, now takes on a new sognificance. Oh and I just loved the way Granger looked out for his crew no wonder they are so loyal and protective of him.

This is definitely my favorite book of the Bridgemont series. Granger really matures and shows his potential and intelligence, learning from his mistakes and coming up with some truly brilliant plans whenever he is confronted with a situation. I espcially like the way he remembers to reward his officers and men when they deserve it. And I relish every time he has a confrontation with the stupid Wilcoxes. And of course he has a lot of very delicious man to man action too, one of the main attractions of this series. You should be awarded some sort of gay naval knighthood for this awesome tale.

Every time I read this chapter I get so pissed at Miles for playing such a mean trick on Jamie. Even if he did his best to repair the damage, it was still bad and hurtful. At least Jamie got to tell him this in very clear words, good for him. And I suppose something good came of it, even if it's rather fast to be declaring his love. Has to be called love at first smell rather than at first sight :-)

Bloody hell, talk about going all the way in a hurry, that was rather shocking - but hot too. And I can certainly understand Jamie's feelings about the aunt and uncle being so relaxed about them having sex, I'd die of embarrassment too.

I think this is my third read, and every time I find new details to like. However, I also noticed a couple of funny mistakes, that you may want to correct. He found life easier to deal with as an observer. The problem he had now though, was that his body was not satisfied being a spectator. Miles turned his head and looked directly at his hand and took it with his and shook it. The words observer and spectator are maybe not quite the right ones to use when talking abaout a blind boy, although I guess you can observe by listening too. But saying Miles looked at Jamie's hand is definitely strange. Otherwise, the story starts out great, and I like Miles' attitude and the way he just ask and speaks his mind. Though that may also have been part of why he has had few friends and not just the lack of mutual entertainement interests. And of course you made us feel sorry for Jamie, but in a very nonsentimental way I liked the understated description, letting us infer how bad it is even when smiling about how the single kiss put him into both heaven and hell. Oh and the bathroom scene was very funny, but at one point I did wonder whether his aunt never cleaned. Because surely she (or any cleaners they employed) would need light in the bathroom to do that. And with Miles' sense of smell, I'm sure he would not like to use a dirty bathroom.

Okay I agree, this is slightly more cute than the previous chapter, but also funny and intense. I liekd the spawn of the devil suggestion, and the 'mine' declaration of Marcus, and the fact that Jacob got angry when Marc laughed, because he has probably never seen him just smile and laugh from sheer happiness, it's always been sarcastic and sneering, I guess. And the fact that Marc sleeps so well is a good indication that he needs Jacob in his life and his bed. Suggesting that Jacob meets Meg shows he realizes that too. And won't it be fun when they get together with Jacob's niece, bet those two girls will drive the guys crazy.

Well, for once it makes sense that a gay guy marries a girl believing it will be OK. Well done for not just having Marcus do this in order to hide the truth, but because he actually thinks it'll work. And apart from the sex it's not that unlikely, since they are actually compatible as friends. Of course it's still not an excuse for pretending and cheating on her, and probably breaking her heart, if she did love him. But somehow we understand him. And I also liked that they could be civil about Meg afterwards, it would have been too easy to create drama about that. Oh and then Jacob to the rescue, amazing how the whole scene is somehow romantic in spite of the drunken mess, the vomiting and the yelling. Pathetic but funny and cute, too.

When I first read this story, I was so caught up in it that I never got round to writing a comment. But now I've enjoyed reading the first book again, and it's actually even better the second time. I liked the Hornblower books when I was a kid, and I've read a couple of other naval stories with the same theme as this, but nothing so awesome. I'm utterly impressed with your skill and knowledge, and of course Granger is a marvelous main character, charming, intelligent, honorable, kind and last but not least very hot. You have done a fantastic job, and the first book left me eager for more. I salute you, sir.

I so liked this story, it was funny and believable and well written - and I'm so pissed, it ended when it did. What did they do the second time ? What will happen next ? I want to know how parents and friends react when they are suddenly a couple. And I think Kevin will need more reasurance, both teasing and serious, and that would be fun to read about. So please write more about these two guys.

Very poignant - but sweet too, this story just grips the reader. You have a way of telling a story that let's us read between the lines, so that even if the chapters are short, it feels like we are told so much more about these two guys. And the terse style somehow highlights the tense emotions while preventing the story from being sentimental.

Well, well getting a bit mature and mellow, aren't they ? But they still have a steaming hot encounter whenever they get into it. And are unable to admit what they need and want - so something is still the same, apart from the swearing and angst. But I like these two guys, so I hope they work out how to be together without losing that edge. They need the spice so as not to get bored with eah other.

Oops that was just too funny and embarrassing with Alex's Dad walking in on them, for all parties. And I liked that you did not draw out the suspense about them confessing their feelings, it made sense - and was a bit cute too. And I'm beginning to really like Cindy, she is both clever and kind.
