With their reply to your comment, do you think @kbois/ @Mrsgnomie author is planning a crossover? That could be fun...or a huge disaster. I think we need a new name for the insane person combo of these two. Something like Gnois or Kbomie? I too am a #ReMax fan. I appreciate the fact that we can focus on the same words and come to different conclusions. Thanks for reminding me of this passage. First, I am sure you are right that Max is talking about Reid. It would make one more dichotomy of love in the story when compared to Perry and Kyan. Both couples have a level of toxicity, neither couple can walk away from their partner (that's the real reason Reid is in Oregon), and Max may think there is no relationship (he probably discounts in prior sexual encounters, if any). The only difference is Max saying he can't stand Reid. That quote is an enticing teaser for a great story with the background revealed, a whole bunch of explosive chapters filled with fireworks as Reid and Max dance around in a convoluted mating ritual, and smoldering sexual tensions that end in a HEA. That's my kind of story, and why I'm with @84Mags. Great point about Reid, @Pickalane! It made me think of how much Jay and Reid are alike. I wasn't a big fan of Loe in Boss Nanny, @Cane23. Mrs. G skillfully chipped away Loe's mask in Loelife to show a very different character inside. May I suggest reading the first 4 or 5 chapters, then see if you can put the book down? I would love to see your reactions and comments on the chapters. Yep! Mrs G, @84Mags is right! BTW, As Kbios beta/editor what is behind Caleb's coconut smell? Did she add that to show Caleb has been marked by you, or a sign of how much Caleb disgusts her?

I think MrsG could stretch this encounter into a slow burn as Max and Reid live the Loelife. Max could get Reid to team with him as famous international thieves. Although I do love Sven and agree he would be a great match for Max, those two would be cuddle bunnies. I'm more of a fan of odd couples. Of course, the evil author just turned Max into a one-minute monster. I suppose she could do the same for Sven.

I'm imagining another book trifecta like Boss Nanny, JayLoe, and Super Epic-logue. I'll even forgo the fun of having Reid and Max getting together in this story if it leads to a story about Max and Reid.

I am with you on #ReMax, @84Mags! (Even if I snicker thinking of for-sale signs planted in yards when I read the tag.) One of my hair-brained thoughts, when the family was in Hawaii, was Max joining them, meeting Reid, and forgetting about Perry as he courted Reid. Obviously @Mrsgnomie has a better idea.

Hi Gary! Hope your day is going well.

Good Evening Bucket!

Hi Man!

Hi Albert!

Hey Nick! Nice to have you back. Happy birthday!

I really like Max. Who doesn't? Besides being rich, handsome, and good company he has a loving nature. Now you've added some sexy mystery he's become even more desirable. Is he an internationally infamous thief or an expert/entrepreneur of high-tech security systems? IMO the whole mystery is probably @Mrsgnomie throwing us a red herring. What does intrigue me is Max's reaction to Reid. Max went from laid back to outraged and then all business in just a few minutes. He and Reid obviously have a history long enough for Reid to be able to push Max's buttons. In all honesty, Max's rage didn't seem real. It was more like a show or at worst a testosterone fueled challenge. I'm left wondering what Max's true feelings are towards Reid. Reid didn't seem too upset or try to engage Max in a challenge. It could be a few interesting days until Reid gets back to Texas.

Well spoken @travlbug and I do agree with the Bacon! No nasty tasting potions or hard to swallow pills for me. I think the pups' recovery is a good start, but he also needs to feel he saved more lives than he ended with his treachery. In other words, he needs to kick butt in the coming battle with Huntington's army.

Got it @Danilo Syrtis! I'll gird my brain for comments and file my nails before typing them. Any other advice, oh wise one?

A wonderful sonnet to love in the Autumn of life. It stirred my emotions and made my heart warm.

Good night everyone!

I'm sure your mare appreciates the burr removal service you provided, but you still need more rest. Take a nap!

We're well. Like I told Clo just now, it's a lazy day.

We're well. It's been a boring day, however. I did make more soup for the freezer and tried to catch up on my reading. Why do most of the author I am following post on the same day? I just cleared out 120+ notifications responding to the comments, and found another 100 more! It's late so I'm headed to bed soon. Take care!

@astone2292 is just trying to create the right mindset and environment to deal with your twisted plots. @Danilo Syrtis will provide the necessary wisdom and logic to keep you from going overboard, and we all know @Mrsgnomie is there to keep your ego in check by finding your errors.

He wished the bullet had done its job. ✔️ Already, Caleb wasn’t a fan of this Asa guy.✔️ He expected the fiery heat of Hell.✔️ The thought of being bed-bound made him nauseous. The idea of needing help was even worse.✔️ Who the fuck thinks of this shit? Is a weekend in the forest so different than a weekday that it needs a shampoo named for it? He snorted at the thought.✔️ Coming close to death didn’t give him the clarity it gave others. He still felt blackness and despair threatening to crush his soul.✔️ Self-loathing still crowded out any shred of positivity he could hope to harbor somewhere inside himself.✔️ There was no good way to explain to someone how bleak and worthless he felt.✔️ Prognosis: SNAFU. Caleb is back to his normal dismal self. Can you believe I didn't include half of Caleb's depressing remarks? I loved the insight into Caleb's thoughts in this chapter. It shows how far he needs to go before he can forgive himself. There are small bits of interesting information like his appetite seems to be recovering. The big thing is that just when he doesn't want it to happen, he has finally found his Mate! Nice setup for the next chapter @kbois! Now I'm all angsty. To quote kbois, Honestly? I expected you to reveal this much later. You are full of surprises in this story my friend.

Sleep well, my friend.

Wishful thinking @Doha! @Mrsgnomie loves her surprises.

The description of the gruesome smell was funny though nauseating. The wisps are keeping their promise of helping, but when Beckett something is scarily wrong. Is @drpaladin right or is Valrinda's behavior due to something else? Why did Valrinda swing Beckett directly into the wounds? @Cia does leave us with even more questions! So evil author, when do we get some answers?

Very good questions and answers. I was particularly interested in the mention of the pictures, because I collect pictures from the same era.

Hi Man! Hope you are doing well.

Bonjour, sweet Clo! How is our fairy princess today?
