Another banger of a story Headstall! Smashed it through within four hours last night! A very realistic story - I must say (currently in my outer circle of friends there is this love triangle thing going on with three guys and well it's not the prettiest thing on Earth very relatable in that sense). I think the epilogue - although epilogue-y kind of stuck out from the ups and downs and twists and turns in the story - more suburban if you wish and almost like the happily ever after in the m/m romance. Personally, I think the story would have ended better at the 11th chapter and instead of the (supposed) hand job scene, i would have definitely ended it with a bang, literally - but with more detail of course! But that's just me! Another great story and I look forward to reading another one of your great stories soon!

Such a great story! I read it all in under a day! I didn't reread the first story, but I remember it enough to get a sense of where things were - and I distinctly remember me blowing my nose! Now I am blowing my nose again, because they finally got their happy ending! I look forward to read your other stories and see where they will take me, but I will definitely revisit Ryan and Erik's journey again in the future! ps. I think it would have been nice if you included more detail on the aftermath when Ryan left New York... you hinted it in the 'Friendsgiving' chapter, but I think if you expanded on it, i would have loved to see what Ryan's reaction would have been like.

I cannot wait to read the second part, and you better not let me down Mr.! However, I love how you slowly revealed each of the characters characteristics and slowly built upon them. I definitely think you have equally built on the characters of both Erik and Ryan - and in some ways they are pretty similar, yet at the same time, they aren't. I do see that they are yin and yang and they match perfectly together (they have the same core, like the psychological struggle of being in the porn industry, and obviously that challenge of trying to decipher whether their chemistry on camera was real or not, but they have a different outlook on life and that is what makes a big difference in their personalities), but I have hope that you are able to find a way to get them together for that happy ending!

Its 2am right now and I have a tissue in my hand! How could you do this! I went in there thinking it was going to be something sexy, fluffy and a feel good novella! Not something so sad and heartbreaking! Why! I can just feel the pain and anguish in both the characters! (Although the whole plot line for the porno shoot does sound like a Cocky Boys production haha)! I definitely enjoyed it and I am going to find the second part of this, and it better have a happy ending! ps. I loved your style of writing and everything BUT, damn you do know how to pull a few heartstrings and draw out the emotions!

Great story that you have written there! It's short, but it is oh so realistic that I loved it so much! Nothing like a typical over dramatic GA story where it feels as though you want to rip your heart out in alliance with the protagonist, but at the same time, you are able to get so much in seven chapters! It is a sad but true fact that there are many Sean O'Grady's out and about and that it is very hard for the victim to get what Tait got out at the end - a supportive friend/lover, a kind ex-lover as well as ex-lovers new boyfriend as well as everything out of a divorce/legal proceedings. I dare say, I would have pegged this as a light-hearted story where love conquers all, with a very serious undertone. Bravo!!

I loved this story! The characters and the emotions and the undertone of sadness got squished by happiness and love. It wasn't a tear jerker or anything (on my part), but I honestly couldn't stop reading it! Now I am off to read your other stories, since I loved this one so much! Bravo!

I love the story overall, but I feel as though the story is a bit... skeletal... if it makes sense to you. I like the story line and the plot and the uniqueness of the werevamp aspect. Even the description of Richard is bare and it takes a lot of interpretation and imagination to sort of assume where you are coming from. Like I know he has thick black hair, but is it wavy, straight or curly? I know his body is muscular, but how muscular? Body builder status or the classic model good looks sort of muscular? Also it took a lot of thought to realise that Simon is a successful author, living in a townhouse, but where? I also think the love scene was rushed, yes I know what would happen, but it would be nice to actually read it in more detail. I am not sure if you intended it this way or you just left it out, but luckily I have a good imagination so I can fill in the blanks, but to other readers, maybe they won't really think the same way. Like I said I love the story but I just find it to be a bit bare at places. Hope you don't mind my critique!

Clem sounds like the all time dream guy. Big, rugged, masculine, handsome, but on the inside, he is sweet, caring, sensitive. Oh god! Nate on the other hand, he sounds like an all round douche who takes advantage of poor Clem! I hope Clem finds someone who truly deserves him later on!

Came here from your recommendation of your other story! I am loving the first chapter and will definitely put it on my reading list! I am the type to cycle through whole stories in about a day or so, so I will wait for you to complete the story first and read it all in one hit I am liking the action in it and Kellan sounds hot!

This is for the overall story - but overall I LOVED IT! I only started it last night around 11.30pm and I finished it just now! Its hard nowadays for me to find perfectly written stories, and I feel as though this is a new favourite of mine! I would have loved to read the scene where Jarred bottomed for the first time and maybe more steam, but in this case, I felt there was just the right amount of sex in there. I look forward to reading more of their journey. Maybe even Harlen and Craig's story too? Although that would be a pretty sad one, but this can be a sequel to that one. Just a few ideas here and there! Great story overall!!!!

Why do authors always make the angsty characters soften up so quickly? If it was me 10 years down the track, I would still be mad at Eddie.

From my last chapter review to now... I have finished this story with that nice warm feeling. I loved this story and I love how Ezra and Hendrik interact with one another. Yes it may be a bit cliche, yes it may be a bit corny and yes it is highly unrealistic, but the story is just so well written that it gives somebody like me hope that this may happen to me one day too. Overall a gazillion stars for this story. Had me laughing, worried, slightly cringing, and finally having a huge 'aw' moment here and there. By far one of my new favourite stories and definitely going to be rereading it sometime in the future.

Probably not allowed swear on here, but I FUCKING LOVE THIS STORY! OMG! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! And I only just started last night and now I am here!

At first I was skeptical about reading a werewolf/fantasy based story (automatically thinking werewolves = Twilight) but boy was I wrong. I think I preferred the beginning part of the story where Parker and Colton were just beginning to date, but the change in the story and how Colt turns Parker into a werewolf, adds a wonderful twist to the story. I cannot wait to read the second book! Mind you I just started this afternoon and I have already read 30 chapters! Great work!

Lovely story! I always think that stories are just like television series. You either get into them or you don't. For your story, I must say I surely got into this one! Just the right amount of sex, romance, drama, it makes for the perfect blend! I can't wait to read all of your other available stories soon!

It is such a sweet fairytale romance story. The sappy kind that makes you run and grab the Kleenex's. Although it's cliche, its still semi realistic enough to be plausible as sometimes it will just might happen in real life. I wish you spent some extra time expanding the story out though, as the whole story seemed a bit rushed in my opinion as it has potential to encompass a more complex storyline. Oh and also it would be nice to see how David and Mike see through the next few years, etc.

Having a very, very, very mild case of Asperger's some of Keith's attributes do hit a note with me. Although this is a love story that tackles with a taboo that is common all over the world regardless of faith or nationality this proves that love conquers all. It was a very sweet, endearing love story that I laughed, cried and connected with the protagonists. A very realistic story and very well done! I hope to see a sequel chronicling Sam and Keith's adventures around the the world and see how they cope with each other. Great story overall!

I have finally finished the story... Coming from Chapter 26 to 27 and I think 28 to the end, and listening to the song as well it really brought me to tears. Without reading the postscript you would think that Sam and Brian would have lived a long and happy life together, but after reading, it is just so sad that their lives together was so cruelly cut short. There are simply no words for me to say on how special, and touching that this story is. I wish that I could have met Sam/Dan and Brian/John and all the others in the story as their kindness has touched me so much. May God bless you John and be strong - you are a true angel living on Earth and it is a true honour and a great privilege for me to find this story and be able to read it. Thank you again.

Can I just say... At first I felt sorry for Sam, then I felt like there was hope that Sam and Brian will get together, and then at this point, its just frustration... Like COME ON! Sam and Brian are meant for each other and Sam is resisting.. why won't he just listen to his heart and soul. Its a really well written story by the way

Ok so from 26 to 27... COME ON!! I feel like throwing the proverbial popcorn at my computer screen! Sam's reaction threw me though... Like for all those years he wanted this, and then Brian comes out and say that he wants to be together with him... and he practically shoves it back into his face. COME ON, SERIOUSLY!?!?!? I hope they get to be together soon, real soon because this is ripping me to pieces! I can imagine what Brian must have been going through right now.

FINALLY! We are moving somewhere with Sam and Brian. To know that this is a true story and that one of the main protagonists can actually read what I am writing is just... there is no way of describing it. So far the story is just so sad, and I know that it is going to get even more emotional. It is these stories that make you look back at your own life and say 'I am blessed that I am happy and healthy with accepting parents'. This story, as of where I am up to know has just been full of ups and downs. I just simply don't know what to say about it. It's just so sad, romantic, tragic, heart wrenching that it turns out to be beautiful in a weird, twisted way. Its captivating... Anyways I am making the final dash in reading the story with a box of Kleenex next to me. This is better than a Nicholas Spark's novel and has a better love story than Twilight or whatever way it goes (I am sorry, I had to throw that into the mix as well)!

Thanks guys for all your suggestions! I think I am going to skip the intro and just focus on writing out the parts where I am certain, and then head back to find an appropriate start. Coming from personal experience, it is true that having authors literally list out the stats of their main characters in the opening chapter can be a bit... dry, at times. I also need to go about finding an editor and also maybe a beta reader so I can have at least a few opinions and criticisms about it. Since I have always never really gotten past the first chapter, I think I will spend some time writing out the parts that I have clearly thought out in my head and go from there. I am excited to finally do this, and also thanks for all of your support!

Woah! I just started this story last night and I am already here... this story is SO GOOD! I am amazed at the writing the characters, etc. One thing though however, is the names. In Russia, the female's surname has the 'a' at the end. So for 'Vlad' her first name escaped me but her surname should be 'Petrova' and Dimitri's surname (that too escaped me) should end only with 'ov'. Other than that, the story is amazing and I have to get back reading all of it!

Its pretty ironic, but I actually did use those exact same words! Now the question is, how do I get an editor or a beta reader? Guess I should just knuckle down and get to it rather than procrastinating and trying to make it perfect on the first time round.
