March C S R Discussion Day: Crave by LitLover
LitLover commented on Cia's blog entry in Gay Authors News
Thank you, Gary. I wouldn't have ever had the courage to post the first chapter without you Audra and Dr Forbe's relationship wasn't planned and developed as I was writing. Every time I pictured their interactions in my head there was an underlying tension between them. I was really happy that the connection tanslated well on the page.- 42 comments

March C S R Discussion Day: Crave by LitLover
LitLover commented on Cia's blog entry in Gay Authors News
Thanks, Tim I also love SF and my pet peeve is too much information. If I get bogged down by too many tech details l. Essentially, I wrote it with me as the reader Audra was always planned to be a strong female character (she was a captain after all), but the scope of her role wasn't something I'd planned. she was a fun character to write though- 42 comments

March C S R Discussion Day: Crave by LitLover
LitLover commented on Cia's blog entry in Gay Authors News
Thank you, Val I try to set aside time to write on weekends. I make a cup of tea and barricade myself in a quiet room. I also like to write over my lunch hour on weekdays. I've been surprisingly inspired in the middle of the day- 42 comments

Chapter 11 It had been four days since Liam’s dinner with Nathan, and he still hadn’t contacted Aleksei. After talking to Marty a few hours earlier, he decided it was time. His best friend was concerned about Liam getting hurt again, but said he would support Liam in whatever decision he made. Liam still wasn’t sure he wanted Alek back in his life, but did want to know if Alek was serious, or if he would buckle under family pressure. This was the day of the dinner Alek’s fa

I know evan's friend thinks Hugh should have done more, but I think the advice, encouragement and genuine praise he gave will go a long way for a young man who's confidence needs a boost. Hugh "made it" and he thinks Evan will do well. That knowledge could help Evan though some tough times when he's waiting impatiently to hear from another publisher. Well done, tim

This is a story about two men learning to trust hearts that have gotten them hurt in the past, and taking a leap of faith. As the title says, life is a song and dance… it’s a matter of finding the right partner. Chet hasn’t had much luck with relationships, and is extremely lonely. Kendall (who we adore in Cards on the Table), who’s been lovingly dubbed ‘Saint Kendall’ by many, doesn’t like the fact that his friend is alone, and wants to help him meet someone. Kendall and Michael conspire to have Chet meet Michael’s co-worker Arron, a police officer, who is just as lonely as Chet, and has had his own misfortunes in love. It was fun watching Chet and Arron meet on their own and realize their friends are trying to set them up on a blind date. I also enjoyed the journey they took as they learn about love, commitment, trust… and plotting revenge on interfering friends. Sigh.. writing this review is making me want to read Song and Dance again.

This story had a little bit of everything I enjoy. There was laughter, and there were tears. I swore at my screen, and ranted at about selfish characters, but in the end, you gave us the happily ever after I love. Both characters had their issues, and neither man was perfect, but they were so perfect for each other. It just took them longer than the rest of us to figure it out. Although events/people beyond their control kept them apart, I don't think either man would give up the good things they have (like a beautiful daughter, and the bittersweet memory of a loving husband) in order to change the past. To me, that is what made these men real.

I thought I had replied to all of the comments in this chapter, but maybe they got lost in the upgrade? Thank you for your kind words, dugh. You support means a lot to me

The reunion between Sybil and Arthur was everything I'd hoped for. I loved how impatient Arthur was, to the point of sitting in the truck long before they were scheduled to leave. I can't imagine how Sybil felt reliving the attack on her mate. It would have been horrifying, even if she did know he was finally coming back to her. It sounds like Sybil's seer abilities have grown exponentially since Arthur's pattern returned. How much more powerful will she be now that her mate is by her side? Will she be able to point Kellar and Tobyn in the right direction? The meeting between Tilly and Logan was awesome! l love how nervous, but smitten they both seemed. I imagine there is going to be a lot of "dust" floating around the dining hall later

Chapter 10 "Natascha Petrov. How can I help you?" "Hi, Nat." "Liam MacPherson? It can’t be." As expected, Alek’s sister sounded shocked. "I'm surprised to hear from you." "I know," Liam said as he let himself into his house. "I hope this is a good time?" "It's fine. I just finished an open house and am heading to the office." Nat was a real estate broker in Ottawa, and from what Alek told him, she was pretty successful. Although he still had her number saved in his phone, he could

Alek can be a hard person to read. It's hard to get a handle on a character if you don't get the benefit of their point of view. The same can be said for Nathan, and Bryce. We only know what they've actually divulged to Liam. My last two stories have had dual POVs, and I like that set-up, but I wanted to do something different here. I wanted my main focus to be Liam's choices, and have the reader react to that, without the benefit of getting to see inside of another character's mind. In the end, I hope it works. Thank you for your review and support, Tim.

Corey and Jason are good people, and they want to help Liam. Tomorrow is posting day, so you don't have long to wait to see who Liam is calling
-
Luckily everyone only has to wait for one more day to find out who Liam is calling. Corey is a wonderful person. I think we could all use a friend or a boss like him. Corey is a realist too. He's worked with Liam for a couple of years, so he knows what Liam is capable of. Thank you for your review and support, Lisa
-
Yes, the ball is in Liam's court right now. Alek hasn't involved him in what's going on, and we already know Nathan would be happy if Liam was interested in exploring a relationship with him. It's not going to be an easy, or a cut and dry decision. Thank you for your review and all of your support, Gary.
-
Thank you, Jeff Liam does need someone who can be objective and let him talk through everything that's on his mind. Can Marty do that? Maybe? Thank you for your review and support
-
Thank you for letting me know your thoughts ljs. I appreciate your opinions. I agree that Liam needs to make some hard choices, regardless of what the choice is. Right now he's mired in his own indecision. I'm not going to say too much about Alek and Nathan, except to say that Nathan is a good man. Thank you for your review and your support
-
I agree, Liam was voluntarily in that closet, but sometimes a protective friend might not see it that way It can be tough if there is family pressure to date someone "acceptable". I'm not saying that's what's happening here, but I have seen it happen that a family doesn't find one partner acceptable, and tries to thrust an acceptable option into the mix. Thank you for your review and support, Def

Chapter 48 Connections, Old and New
LitLover commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 48 Connections, Old and New
I loved the first mate meeting! Delia and Hutch were smitten immediately . I can't wait to see the rest of the mates come together. I think it was prudent of Elinor to let the married couple (my brain has lost their names ) know about the fated mate coming to Morningstar. The couple, although it appears they came together out of convenience and companionship, deserved time to part and say their goodbyes as a couple. As always, I adore Arthur and can't wait for his reunion with Sybil. I think being back with his mate will heal him faster than any rest or patience could. And I agree... Tilly would be furious and scary if news of her mate is kept from her for too long Finally, nothing is better than alone time between Kellar and Tobyn. They know each other on such a soul deep level that they can give what the other needs with little or not prompting (although apparently Kellar needs to be told when he can go all Alpha on it mate ) -
I agree with you. IF Alek comes out, it needs to be for himself. If he does it for Liam (or anyone else) he could potentially come to resent them if/when his parents and extended family turn on him. This is a personal decision that has to be made because it's what HE wants. Thank you for your review and support, Dugh
-
lol can you imagine a dinner like that? Four parents glaring down the table at you? I know that makes me feel warm and fuzzy I don't blame Liam for protecting himself either. He gave Alek a lot of chances to make things right and now that he is trying to move on the idea of going back and risking disappointment again would be daunting. Thank you for your review and support, Spikey
-
Family can be a hard thing to break away from. I think that is part of the reason why Alek was reluctant to come out in the first place. Whether he has or not at this point, you;'re right, there is a chance of the parents continuing to be a thorn in his side. Thank you for your review and support, drought

Liam has been hurt, a lot, so seeking safety would be understandable for him. Whether or not his feeling of safety with Nathan is strictly platonic, or if that will translate into romantic feelings as his heart heals remains to be seen. Thank you for your review and support, Lux.
-
I agree with you. Communication is usually a good option, especially if you're confused about something. On the other hand, seeing Alek seems to cause more conflicted feelings, so I can see why Liam would be reluctant. Thank you for your review and support, Puppi.
-
Corey is a great man. He wants to see Liam succeed, and wants to help in any way he can to make that happen. Liam didn't seem overly concerned with Bryce flirting with Nathan, did he? Thank you for your review and support, Parker
-
Sorry, Tim. I thought I answered this review already. Bryce does seem to be attracted to Bryce, even it is superficial attraction at this point. As for Alek: It would be tough for him to take risk pain and rejection without someone to support him. He does have his sisters though. Thank you for your review and support, Tim.
