Maria was such a sweet and trusting girl, in the simple view of this child, she just placed Jeff as her Daddy, being a member of her immediate family. She was a charmer as well, the princess commanding loyalty from the loyal Ilya ... Wow, Danny and Uncle Raymond ... I hope Danny wouldn't be too intimidated to start a relationship with the man he'd had a crush on; somehow I think Raymond would make a first move ... We're still no closer to solving the arson at Paul's old house ... (tapping my fingers impatiently) ... I'm still waiting ...

I have never been rejected outright by my parents, but I do feel their disappointment in me when they learnt about my gayness ... The brutally honest conversation between Nate and his dad, Mark, was so powerful in that, the almost emotionless tone of voice used by Nate, to tell his father he wanted to die ... Reading that was almost physically painful ... a young person should never have to be driven to take this path with no turning back, not by family, friends nor figures of authority ... simply NO ... If you haven't thrown in the ray of hope at the end, I'd have given up on this story rather than endure more pain ...

I usually scoff at the caution "Warning : sexual content" that you post from time to time at the beginning of certain chapters. I used to think that we're (supposed to be) all adults here and a little frisky literature will be no big deal ... BOY, I couldn't have been more off the mark in this instance ! The sex scene was so sizzling hot that any electronic devices used by readers to view this chapter could have spontaneously self combusted ... BUT it was a love scene, Kendall and Michael really showed each other their love ... Yay ! Gary, yay !

With the joy of binge reading comes the great responsibility of binge reviewing ... I have only reviewed about 15 to16 chapters of the total 39 chapters that I've read; however, I will jump the queue, so to speak, and write about this, Chapter 38, simply because it is the most ROMANTIC of all proposals that I've ever read ! Michael had outdone himself on this occasion, and I can finally forgive for the callous way that he had treated Kendall (as well as the many women) before he woke up from his cluelessness ... Gary !

Corey as well as Jason were such good friends to Liam ! University fees in real life are so exhorbitant, it should follow that Liam needed all the help he could get even in the fictional realm ... Who would Liam call, someone with more information on Alek's current situation or someone with honest advice ? Elena or Marty ? Going out to dinner with Nathan ?! Liam, you would be sending out mixed signals to that guy ... Now even I AM confused !

Michael's love for Kendall and his generous nature really shone through. His was the calm voice that talked sense into Kendall, so he would make the decisions which he wouldn't regret later. That showed how much is right in Michael's upbringing ! Thanks again Colleen and Big Mike ! Naps really do mean different things to different people under different situations ... hmm ...

Sometimes you only turn out as how you've been taught by your parents, like Carson; and sometimes you may transcend the chains that hold you back, as Kendall showed us. The talk / confrontation / cathartic release between father and son was almost too painful to read through but it was something that needed to be carried out in full before their relationship could begin to heal. Someone wrote about the tiger mum aspect that was missing within Agnes ... not so, the fierce mother was in full force passing an ultimatum to her husband ! Yeah ! Grrr ... (growling)

Both Kendall and Michael had big hearts; Kendall reaching out for his mother and Michael supporting his partner through his pain ... Hmm ... okay, okay, I've tried to leave a comment every time I've finished a chapter, but this one had a cliffhanger at the end so I just ploughed on to the next few chapters. Now I can't comment on Carson's behaviour towards his son and his partner because I know what happened in the next chapter ...

Well, a few positive things from this Chapter 1) Chet made friends with Michael 2) There were 2 more gay police officers in Michael's division 3) Michael had moved in with Kendall Yay ! Oh, Kendall had Michael as his own security blanket, all wrapped up and safe and warm ... not exactly positive because it was a moment tinged with sadness ...

Parents could be naughty as well, okay, they could be romantic and intimate when the mood stroke them. Just because your children had grown up didn't automatically mean your libido would be dampened ... Good comeback line Kendall ! Hopefully Chet would be having a better time in story now that the readers have made him popular ...

Colleen and Michael senior were really great (awesome) parents to BOTH Kendall and Michael ! They rocked ! Oh, deep throating is an acquired skill, your readers should be made aware of the fact that practice, and lots of that, is needed before proficiency can be achieved !

It shows compassion in the way Tobyn worried about the impact of "potential" earth mates would have on already established couples. However we have established that predestined fate doesn't exclude free choice. Granted the couples affected would have a difficult and even sometimes painful decision to make, but nothing had been set in stone (or no one should be forced into a decision against his / her will). As Arthur would no doubt be thinking, come on Vega pack, hurry up and move already !

Okay, not a murder mystery, but the tone of the story is, in my humble opinion, a bit morbid ... Will we get to know why Dane dumped Jim for the older gentleman, now husband ?

Dear Mr Eric, Your reply to Timothy M's review of Chapter 56 says, "David and Sasha will be together, but things will change a little ..." and in the review for this chapter you say "There will be a wedding .." Changes in a good way ? A concerned reader, Hoho

After reading this chapter, I need a shower, a cold one would slap me awake or a hot one to take care of my needs ... how should I choose ? I doubt that the high priest would have no inkling as to what was happening within the temple; why else would there be a bed inside ? Or did Zhihao will the bed and mirror into existence, or some such magic ? Now I'm confused ... better go get my shower ...

Argh ! Men and their guns (boys with their toys) ... I agree with Jeff, this chapter raises more questions than answers. Is the perpetrator a hired gun ? Would the attempted murder be connected to that senior vet ? Or would the story go off in another tangent ? Was Ilya uncomfortable around the couple because of their PDA ? Or did he have other hidden issues, why did he inspect his fingernails ? You have given us a story with a wealth of characters and a very intriguing plot line; the scenery and background have been richly painted, so as readers we should thank you profusely for your effort ! No one could self edit a story to perfection, an editor would help you clear up any minor glitches in no time at all, if you so wish. Please don't sell yourself short Jim, you are doing a really good job !

Michael could really sweet talk his way to Kendall's heart ... "looking at you takes my breath away ..." OR "You're beautiful Kendall ..." Way to go ! Kendall could "give as good as you get" on compliments as well as threats; promising to cut off your significant other's nuts with a rusty old saw would definitely bound him to his promise of fidelity !

Yay ! I'm going to do a happy dance now, to celebrate the two boys getting "together" together ... Yay !

Sex, sex, sex ... great scene !! Could you really fgive head when you've had a concussion, albeit a mild one ?

I am a man, but I'll gladly put on a dress, make up and heels, and then in full on drag mode, slap Candy into next week. I'll show her what a real BITCH is like ! Michael ed Kendall ! Yay !!

I can't wait to read the next chapter ... HANG ON, I'll just double click onto Chapter 8 ... Binge reading is FUN ! Michael, don't f--k it up again ...

Gary, thank you for leaving us hanging there ... (you must read this in a tone dripping with venom and sarcasm) ... Poor Kendall, poor Chet, silly Michael (you just can't walk back into someone's life as if nothing serious has come between the two of you)

Gary, you tore out our hearts when you wrote about Kendall's pain in the first chapter. Then you literally stomped HARD on those bleeding organs in this chapter by vividly describing Michael's breakdown. His parents gathered with him on the floor of the Kitchen trying to lessen his pain, OMG, a real tear jerking moment. Do I congratulate you for writing such scenes with emotions so raw that we, as readers, cannot help being affected by them ? OR should I berate you for causing us untold grief ? Well, bring on the next chapter, I've prepared at least a box of tissue ... (sorry, no handkerchiefs for me)

Kendall seemed to be on the rebound and I hoped Chet wouldn't be the first casualty ...

Binge reading is one of my favourite pastimes, BUT binge reviewing is going to be a bitch ... One word response to this chapter is "clueless" - referring to Michael and the mutual feelings they had for each other ...
