    It was a laugh a minute! Just what I needed. Thanks!

    Chapter 31

    Wow! I've been reading another story before I caught up with the last couple of chapters here. Different author, different style, etc. And I'm blown away getting back to your story. Damn! You write so very well and so much take one into the depth and the height of the feelings. Your description of the turmoil of memories as this 50 ft wave catching Jim and sending him whirling was so vivid, saying so much in so little. Brilliant writing, man! So very descriptive and evocative. You do a really good job. Can't wait for the next chapter. Thanks!

    Epilogue

    Wow! I'm thrilled to have discovered this site and especially you, Gabriel Morgan, and your stories. Please, please, please finish Panhead! This was second best to Panhead though it is a f-ing good read, literally! And I loved the characters and the complexity of the relationships, but also their incredible flexibility with each other. Wow! Sean & Vincent's relationship was just amazing. I have never ever experienced such a wonder so it was a total gob-smacker to me is so many ways but you told the story so utterly convincingly. Love it. Thank you so much! A privilege to have been able to read it!

    Chapter 32

    I took a while to get into this story as it seemed a little superficial after '52 Panhead, but I have got more and more into it and the characters have become more and more real to me. What is so amazing in this story is the compassion and love that flows. God, Sean is wonderful. What a guy! What understanding and compassion he has for all, but especially for the lost, the lonely, the ones in need. He seems to pick on that and know how to help each one to the next step. Beautiful. What a wonderful world it would be if we had some more guys like Sean, and Vincent, and so many of them. Great guys! I am loving the interaction between them too, especially on the physical level. That is so beautiful! And so sexy too! I have had lots of pleasure out of this story. Thank you!

    Chapter 28

    Thanks for keeping the story going. Very interesting bit about the stages of grief and amazing seeing Jim the counsellor spring into life. Appreciate your diligence in updating on the story and not leaving it too long before adding the next chapter. That's really good and well done! The spark of sexuality that was fired between Jeff and Jim gave me a good boner and I'm as disappointed as they are at the need to cool it just at the moment in order not to complicate their problems even more. Something to be said sometimes for just a quick physical and not emotional attachment. Never as satisfying but a helluva lot less complicated!

    Chapter 48

    WTF! THIS THE BLOODY END AND NO EXPLANATION!? I HATE THAT! I FEEL ABSOLUTELY CHEATED AND AS MAD AS HELL - JUST LIKE JEFF GETS AT TIMES. HOW UNSATISFACTORY. AND TO THINK YOU'VE LEFT IT LIKE THIS FOR TWO AND A HALF FUCKING YEARS! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! AND THERE I WAS THINKING WHAT A GREAT WRITER YOU ARE, BUT NOW I JUST WANT TO THROTTLE YOU, MAN! THERE BETTER BE A FUCKING GOOD EXPLANATION FOR THIS!

    Chapter 38

    Well, after that comment at the end of the chapter, have to write something more. Here is the thing between Raf and Jeff. Nicely handled and balanced. It would be easy for them both to just go at it and to hang with the consequences, but they are restrained by their loyalties and their friendships in such a good way. Very touching, very sexy too, very romantic, but very believable at the same time. Thanks for the good read. Love it!

    Chapter 32

    Time for another review. I get so distracted with this story that everything gets forgotten. My tea gets cold and the time vanishes. I love it! I love your quirky humor. You come up with some great lines. I may have to go back to find them or maybe I should just start a collection of them as I go. I really enjoy them and they get a belly laugh from me! That's the up of the seesaw. The down is the emotional twist that make my eyes wet. And you do both so well. Thanks.

    Chapter 17

    I love this story, and yes, I fear for what might happen to break this fantastic relationship, like Maia. But I am compelled to read on and finding it hard to put down. I love the length of your chapters - they make a perfect read - not too long, but long enough to satisfy (a little like making love, hey!) God, I hope Maia is not right about the thing going between Raf and Jeff - surely neither of them would be so godamn stupid as to put a spanner in the works. No, its more likely to be something outside of their control. Then the part Sharon plays is a bit of a puzzle. One gal in a bunch of guys and they all so comfortable with each other. How does she fit?

    Chapter 15

    Ah, so beautiful, man! So beautiful!

    Chapter 9

    Just to let you know I'm still reading and loving this. Really good chapter. I keep hitting the "like" button but I apparently long used up my quota (don't know why it is so mean with how many "likes" you can do - very stingy). Sometimes I need to hit the "like very much" button but it doesn't exist! Thanks for such a great read!

    Chapter 6

    The trickiness of relationships! Such little things that cause us to doubt and that create glitches. Wow! It's so true. It's amazing sometimes that we succeed to have any relationships, so when you do manage it and it lasts it seems such a miracle. Love the way this is going though. It really touches my romantic heart! Thanks! A stir in the crotch too! But that's by the by. Haha!

    Chapter 5

    And thank you for writing! Great story. You really draw one into Jeff's emotions and his ups and downs and I love the sense of humor too. Lot's of chuckles in the midst of the tensions.

    Chapter 4

    Haven't been reviewing and commenting, but feel I ought to. I know if I had written a story I would want readers to comment and let me know what was happening. Just to say, I'm into this story now with 4 chapters down and enjoying it. I'm an incurable romantic and the romance is blossoming very nicely. You do a great job with the characters and the interactions. Lots of nice details (sure, the sex too, but more than that) and very readable. I'm an English teacher and hate to see the language murdered, but you do a good job. Thanks. I like reading this story a lot and shall continue with it. Appreciate your hard work!

    Chapter 26

    The plot thickens further with questions that need answers and now more characters being introduced. Getting very complicated! But holding attention well. You are good. I like it a lot!

    Chapter 25

    God I really love your writing Mr Wood! You are so good at building the tension and the heartache. Thank you for a really really good read!

    Chapter 24

    Not sure where you going with this now. Seems like a real rabbit trail, but no doubt its purpose in the Jim/Chad business will presently be revealed. It's very tantalizing and frustrating at the same time.

    Chapter 23

    A great chapter. Keeps the attention and spurs one to look forward to the next one. Love it! Thanks! You have a nice balance between realism and romance!

    Triple Header

    Wow! again at least triple times! So so romantic. I cried my way through it! What a dream! I am absolutely sold on your writing. Thank you!
  20. Wow! Wow! Wow! That was right up my street! So romantic, so bloody sweet! I loved it! You are my favorite author just at the moment and each story I read just adds to the impression. I love it that you write well and don't just tell a good story, though I love the good story too. Probably a little over the top if we had to look at the reality of finding 3 generations of gays in one family and then add to that all 3 generations being happily partnered. Oh what bliss! And everyone in the family besottedly happy with everyone else. But it makes for such a romantic tale and what good if we can't indulge in romantic fantasy, hey? So thanks once again for a great job very well done!
  21. Wow! That was absolutely fantastic! I pressed "like" but it's really not adequate, and I think my internet connection is a little weak just at present so don't even know if it registered. I love this. It has to be my favorite gay story so far, maybe always. Brilliantly told, beautifully executed, loved the humor and the twists and turns, and so identified with so much in the story. And you turned it into a story of such hope and courage. It was really beautiful. Thank you! Right now I could kiss you too! No offense meant, but just to show my appreciation. Great stuff, man!
  22. Thanks for a good read. Very convincing and realistic. You're good!

    The New Job

    Thank you for this story/autobiography. It was very well written and encourages me to try some of your other writing which I see has been quite extensive. I see this is an experience that is not uncommon. Amazing. I have been married for 40 years and some 15 of those (plus or minus) have been living out to my wife who remained with me as we raised out 3 children and saw them all out of the nest and married, now with their own children. But I recently separated from my dearly beloved feeling that my battle with internet and my sexuality was too much to cope with and left me feeling too guilty every time I was tempted to explore more. It's been devastating for us both. We remain friends for now and still probably in love. I'm thankful for that. The future looks pretty bleak and not sure how it will pan out for us both. At the moment it is one day at a time.

    Chapter 22

    Wow. Seems I'm all caught up. That's disappointing as I have to stop reading now. Show I'm really enjoying this and into it big time. Thanks! I love the detail you give the story. It's great. Hurry along Chapter 23! It was funny that I got so pissed off with Chad and yet he has done such an amazing thing for Jim in trying to help him get through these few days. I think Jeff might supersede all Chad's ideas of helping Jim along though. I also realized that I shouldn't be so pissed off at Chad as I did the same thing he did. I left my wife of 40 years, whom I love, though I didn't leave her for another person. We still love each other but I need some space to find myself having denied my sexuality for those many years. Not sure what the result will be but I am pretty raw emotionally and your story of Jim and Chad is really cutting deep. Perhaps that is a good thing and will help me as I allow the emotions to come out. Thanks again.

    Chapter 11

    This is a terrible wringing of emotions. Better to have a fight and storm off and never see each other again than this agony of separation. How can you bear it? It's too much!
