We actually had a man, a doctor, in Sweden who kidnapped a woman to make her his girlfriend. Luckily for her, he got scared when the police started looking for her and brought her to the police station to convince them she was OK. Fortunately, the police got suspicious and separated them, enabling her to tell them the truth. He got ten years in prison... Scary story, Val. Too many twisted individuals out there...

A sad story since unfortunately all too many people live their lives afraid of what others might say. I hope we get a follow up to this story. What happens when Brady goes to college? Maybe the line is shifted?

So much fun to see how they started out! I can understand Faris not wanting things to get serious before he figured out how he really felt for James. Long distance isn't any fun... Good things worked out for them!

I've never understood the fear of bees, but ok a swarm isn't something I'd get up close and personal with. Glad they got some honey. The card must have read "Bee mine"...!

Sweet, sweet honey moon! That cabin will be something they remember for ever.

No! How can you end the chapter there!?! Gah! I'll go nuts waiting a whole week! That said I can't believe Nobu would seriously injure Viktor. Maybe they need some blood to get his father's attention, but killing him...? I choose to not believe that. I'm glad Alexi is still alive, but it looks dire.

This will be fun!

And so Toby's education begins... LOL Is it terrible to find his innocence kind of funny...? But I'm hoping he'll discover more than Daniel's assailant and that will make him happy.

This chapter was one big tease! LOL I'm happy to read the ending lines. Such a trusting relationship is a great thing, to be comfortable to try new things without worry. Maybe we get a little sneak peek...?

Finally the wedding! I can understand Andy only remembering bits of it. So much emotion and things happening. I loved the verse Z read. So full of love for A. A grandmother! That's even more relatives. Great for A to get to now his other history. Will he meet his father too? I can't decide how I feel about A being the result of a fling. To me, it seemed such a testament to his character to triumph over his history and become the amazing person he is. I think he would have turned out that way regardless if Gunnar was his father or not. We are not predestined to repeat the sins of our fathers (and mothers, as the case might be) but we are all individuals. The upbringing A has had would to me risk causing the most problems for A as a grown up. Not some hereditory evil. I kind of liked the idea of him beating those odds all on his own, not being 'saved' from any connection to that man.

Hmm... I can't shake the idea something very fishy is going on in that baseballteam... It's just too weird. Good Casey made a friend. At least it stopped him from running away. And he got a heart to heart with Rodney. His dad has to figure out how to let him not live in the work out room. That's just not a good place.

Wow! More family coming out of nowhere! Grandma seems happy enough so I doubt she will try and obstruct the wedding. Everyone needs a friend like Kaz. Even though I think killing is a bit extreme, I can understand the rage at seeing someone you love hurt like that. Why is Andy in a cold room alone? My first though was he was away on some track meet but they might not happen over weekends. I doubt he's truly alone. Zander would never let him go. Not now.

Von Grimmelshausen! That had me laughing! I must say I share Danny's experience. It is so much easier to dance with someone you are on the same wavelength as. Ballroom isn't for everyone. Dancing is !

I think Casey needs to slow down and let himself listen to someone. Right now, he's so determined to go it alone he doesn't even notice how Karen, Rodney and his dad actually seem to be trying to reach him. And what about Lane? He could use a big brother worth the name...

That's some measure to take to be noticed... Jousting! Seems to have rattled their world enough to let the truth come out. BTW, my brother is called Sören. He doesn't joust either...

I'm not exactly itching to try it myself, but it's hot to read about. LOL Great chapter! I wonder where Wade went...?

They take turns getting in trouble! Now it will be a loooong wait for the next chapter! Gah!

Love makes us blind. Usually a nice thing because we overlook the minor faults in lovers and friends. Dangerous though when we stop listening to ourselves and our loved ones... I think seeing the good parts of Sean is important for the story to be credible. No person is pure evil or pure good. Characters written like that are one dimensional and not believable. Sure, it's very neat if the villain is a super nasty character easy to just hate. Having him display likeable traits makes things more complicated and frankly more interesting. The problem in abusive relationships is more often than not that hope that those good sides will suddenly win and your lover be a decent human after all...

Now that was action packed! I was reading as fast as I could, trying to get myself to slow down just to not miss things... I really hope Alexi will be OK... Somehow, these gangsters are kind of endearing. Katsumi was a but too much of a Daisuke fan for me to trust her. Trying to get the attack to be about her... Really!? Or she's pure like new snow fallen on Mount Fuji.

It's a good lesson to learn that Dom or sub is a state of mind, not linked to physical appearance. I'm guessing acting the part will turn real pretty quickly... Will be fun to read Toby's reactions to him Dom persona.

I'm happy for Andy getting a family, even if they are not perfect. But then again who are? They are human and honest, which is more than you can say about a lot of people. Sweet of Andy to think of his friend when talking to Lena. Maybe he'll see them be friends. Or more...?

So they meet. By very strange means... Who was on the other side of the darknet? And for how long can they refrain from kissing...? LOL

Hmm... I might be paranoid, but coach has my alarm bells ringing somehow. He's awful close to Mike and they are a bit too buddy-buddy for me to be comfortable. Why would he warn Casey about Mike? To have him for himself? Or to have a chance at Casey? I don't know. I think Casey needs to tread carefully. Something is fishy.

Ok, I have to try the spoiler thing because I have another comment (and it's fun to try...)

Oh thanks! I wondered about that and now I know! Little by little, you're teaching me the functions of GA. LOL
