    Chapter 9

    Outstanding chapter! We’ve come full circle to where we started this complicated and amazing tale. Now that we know that Kastan won’t kill Jihan, and has forced him to be his Prince consort in defiance of the empress Rushi. The emperor has already changed his imperial wedding edict to include Jihan. Kastan’s jealously over Temu’s report about a lover has made him hard and uncaring. Jihan has to find a way to convince his new fiancé that he hasn’t betrayed him. Once Lord Duyi arrives he’s in for quite the shock. Prince Jihan has a very nice ring to it. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😢❤️
  2. Excellent chapter! The Duchess is making it’s way back to Venice, Yuri has a plan to thwart the pirates. We will find out what happens in the coming chapters! Boris telling both prince’s about the number of people who have signed up to be represented by them. With the numbers growing by the hour, Eric and Peter will have a platform from which to focus on those countries who refuse basic rights to their GLBTQ+ citizens.by cutting off travel to those countries utilizing social media outlets to destroy their tourism dollars, causing economies to be weakened if not destroyed. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

    Delayed

    Outstanding chapter! The concern for Cosmo and his ongoing recovery is hanging over the heads of the entire Makarovian delegation. Pano, Barry and Edgar were a little bit overwhelmed by the Duchess’s opulance.The luncheon that Henri served them caused them to ask if they ate like that all of the time. The pirates and consortium are still lurking around the shadows. What might happen next with Cosmo’s recovery and what dangers are awaiting their voyage back to Venice. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

    Keeping Vigil

    Excellent chapter! Cosmo survived the surgery and is recovering in the hospital, he may have a few bumps in his recovery, but I expect that he will fully recover. It is sad that the pirates carried out their assault at the Big Bar. Pano, Barry and Edger along with many of their regular customers helped to defend Eric and Peter. The Duchess is about to take the last leg of the honeymoon voyage back to Venice. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😢❤️
  5. Outstanding chapter! The trip from Disney to Hawaii is off to a great start, the family all enjoyed the Luau and entertainment. Eddie and Matty got an incredible invitation from Kai the fire dancer. They had an incredible sexual experience between the three of them and stayed over to get surfing lessons the next morning. This was an incredibly hot chapter. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

    Nate In Love

    Excellent chapter! Mags let Clay know in no uncertain terms that his treatment of Nate and Gleason would be no different than how he treated Eddie and Matty. She said that he was reacting like those “southern baptist bigots” they left behind. He blamed Eddie and Matty briefly before she let him have it with both barrels. She told him he had hurt her deeply with his comments. He admitted that he wasn’t thinking and apologized for his stupidity. Go Mags! Nate and Gleason have officially come out and Mags gave excellent advice to these incredibly brave and loving very young men. Gleason loves Mags hot chocolate and wants her to give her recipe to his mother. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

    Chapter 8

    Excellent chapter! Andiya’s seduction of Ishan and the fact that she’s pregnant with his child, complicates Jihan’s choices after receiving the Royal Decree. We know that he defy’s the decree and is prepared to die for his sister’s happiness from the prologue. Now we just have to wait to see what other twists and turns are going to happen before the end of this amazing story. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

    Turnaround

    Outstanding chapter! Alex’s first visit with the counselor went pretty well, having Jeremy go along helped him to face his addiction and to start learning how to deal with it. I’m wondering about the counseor’s hairstyle. Is she trying to relive the eighties? I’ve missed your storytelling and am very glad you’re back. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️
  9. Outstanding chapter! They’ve gone back to Big Bar to visit their friends again when troubles came looking for them, the pirates (?) came looking for them in the bar, Pano and Barry told them to leave, however shots were fired and Rolph was stabbed seriously. I really hate cliffhangers. I’m definitely waiting to see how badly injured Rolph is and what is awaiting them when they return to the Duchess in the next chapter! 🤬❤️
  10. Excellent chapter! A successful trip back to Athens. The security team will be accompanying Peter and Eric to Boston because of the camaraderie and interaction between them makes them a better and more cohesive team. The visit to Big should prove to be entertaining as well as a security nightmare. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

    Chapter 7

    Outstanding chapter! Kastan is obsessed with finding Jihan. Jihan is home and dreaming about Kastan. The emperor has taken an interest in the Kamran supply network. The emperor also explained the familial relationship between he, his brother and his sister to help her understand that she has nothing to fear from Kastan. The arranged marriage between Andiya and Kastan would complicate the relationship between the two men. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! ❤️😃
  12. Outstanding chapter! Nate is an exceptional person who has a heart and soul made for lovingly caring for everyone else first. I’m happy that he’s done with Simon who hurt him badly. Gleason is a young man who needs emotional, financial and inspirational support to overcome his self esteem issues related to physical, emotional and intellectual abuses. He has no one to help him rebuild his self worth. He needs Nate, Eddie, Clay, Maggie and Matty to help this young man who has captured Nate’s heart, to rebuild his self esteem, emotional strength and his belief that he’s worth falling in love with. I sincerely believe that Nate is the best possible person to show Gleason how incredible he really is. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter!😃❤️ As a side note: Geoff’s incredible stories and characters are about caring, loving relationships between people and their effects on their emotions, experiences and lives. He doesn’t highlight sexual acts over how sexuality is a very natural and profound part of healthy loving relationships. Quit whining.

    Morals

    Outstanding chapter! Traditionalists believe that marriage must come before children. Liberals don’t hold with that thinking and have children before they marry if they marry at all. There will always be those who condemn someone who doesn’t live according to their rules. A legal marriage will show the people that their king and future queen are serious about following traditions while ensuring the line of succession if the unthinkable should occur. I believe that the people of Makarovia will accept that their king and future queen are people first and as such they are often unable to meet every tradition. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

    Last Stop

    Excellent chapter! Eric and Peter thank Henri for the extraordinary meal he served them by helping clear and wash the dishes. They are also nervous about the safety of the crew of the Duchess as they’re headed back to Greece, fortunately Luke has a friend in the Italian navy who has agreed to escort them on board a destroyer. Many negotiations have taken place promising favor with the government of Makarovia. As members of the Royal Family the favors will be granted in exchange for the safety of the Prince’s. Both Eric and Peter are dreading leaving their new found friends. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️
  15. Outstanding chapter! The pen ultimate French supper, served by two world class chef’s to a family of very special people who absolutely enjoyed every moment. I’m sad that this absolutely amazing voyage is coming to an end. I absolutely love each and every character that you’ve created, they feel very real to me and I know that I’ll miss them. I know that you’ve got many more experiences to share and I’m looking forward to them all. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️ Thank you for all the joy you bring into our lives by letting us live vicariously through these stories. 👏
  16. Excellent chapter! Confirmation that there’s at least one tracking device. Confusion about who is behind the device due to the poor planning. Yuri isn’t certain how, when or where the pirates will strike, but he’s working on a plan. They will surprise the pirates and keep their passengers and crew safe. The crew has let Peter and Eric know that they want them to return to the Duchess again. What’s up with Boris and Henri in the galley? collaborating on the menus? Hmm... I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️ I sincerely hope that your IT person can repair the damage done to your computer by the sweet tea bath it received. Sugary drinks are one of the most dangerous things to happen to laptop computers. The sugar seeps deep into the circuits and causes shorts. I’m praying 🙏 that you’ll get it back better than before.
  17. Excellent chapter! Geoff, you’re use of GMA again with the Hamilton family discussing Nate’s Leukemia diagnosis and subsequent treatment and remission after a year is brilliant. Making Matty the bone marrow donor was another stroke of genius. Thank you for not drawing out all of the awful experiences that chemotherapy and radiation treatments cause. The vlog is exactly what that amazing young man would create for everyone who is going through or looking for information and inspiration on treating cancer and is also a simply brilliant idea. (3for3) Your stock in tissue manufacturing companies must be paying dividends frequently. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

    Nate

    Outstanding chapter, however this was very difficult to read. The tears were flowing throughout. Why Nate? He’s such an amazing young man, this is breaking my heart. Don’t let him die! I would be devastated. I love your stories and the characters you’ve created as they seem like family to me. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😢❤️
  19. Outstanding chapter! The search for tracking devices continues and Eric is diving with the team. He rediscovers his love of diving. What is the consortium up to? I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️
  20. Outstanding story for the Holiday Season! Tommy’s parents had been teaching him to be more concerned about others than himself with minimal success. When he meets Jason in the mall, everything that he’d been taught made sense and he started making decisions about helping someone other than himself. This is a very powerful story that is appropriate for the time of year. Thanks Bill for an amazing story! 😃❤️

    Chapter 6

    Excellent chapter! Jihan knows that he’s fallen for Kastan, he also knows that Kastan has fallen for him. Jihan ran away to protect the family and friends who allow him to be very successful without any serious scrutiny by the ruling class. Jihan wants to remain mostly anonymous in his business dealings to prevent scandal and investigations. Kamran is angry that he left without a word. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️
  22. Excellent chapter! Yuri is horrified by the camaraderie between Eric, Peter and their security team. Yuri has lost team members that he was close to before and shields his emotions by maintaining a professional relationship and aloofness. The possibility of a tracking device having been attached to the Duchesses hull is a real concern for the security personnel. The inspection of the hull is necessary to discover if they are being tracked. Eric and Peter aren’t able to understand the pain and suffering that the loss of a close friend on the security team creates. Welcome back aboard Yuri and Boris! I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

    Chapter 63

    Outstanding chapter! A hasty departure from Malta after a group of pirates (?) show up claiming to need assistance, but had a submerged secondary group moving toward taking the Duchess. Eric is suspicious that this could be more than piracy. The special dinner that Henri made for the guys was amazing. Poor Peter is having trouble with American slang, which can be difficult to explain. Eric has an incredible amount of knowledge on many topics that he’s not afraid to share. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

    Chapter 62

    Excellent chapter! Success! The closeness and banter proves what Eric has been saying since the start of the voyage. Protocols and traditions are important, however treating them each as friends and colleagues gives them all the chance to be treated as family. Wayne being responsible for the website was a surprise, but once the Prince’s read what the reasoning behind it was, they were all for it. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️
  25. Excellent chapter! Poor Nate, Simon dumps him for their best friend who’s a girl, and couldn’t get it up without pretending it’s Nate. Eww! Simon is a piece of work. He expected Nate to take him back like nothing happened. How clueless is that boy? Your notice is disconcerting, I love all of these characters you’ve created. Don’t let anything bad happen to Nate, he’s such a special kid. I don’t think I could take it if you selected him for whatever life changing event you’ve chosen. I’m definitely not looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️
