I’m still sure about Bryce haha. I assume straight because he said he had never even considered a relationship with a man. But I still wonder.

I can’t get a feel for Kess’ sexuality yet. Well, same for his dad lol. I don’t know where they fall in the Kinsey scale. Any thoughts?

I’ve got a knot in the pit of my stomach. This is going to get very ugly, very quickly I’m afraid.

Love love love the growing family!!

Ooooohhhhhh.....poor Jake. He’s fallen in love. I can see heartache on the horizon.

Is there even any hope for Joey to be sane? I can’t stand him, but I can see the pressure he’s under. When he cracks, it’s going to be ugly!

Hon please please please let the next chapter be when Billy gets a haircut haha. His teacher is definitely right when she thinks Billy could be a great role model. He’s strong willed. But he needs to look the part before he can feel the part. Right now, I have him pictured as looking like Sasquatch walking the halls haha. i love Brett!! He’s absolutely my favorite in this whole story. Love his openness and honesty, and that go to hell attitude of his haha. Land I’m usually a live and let live guy, but Joey and his dad both need to be taken down a peg or two. I wish Billy would use the attempted assault against Joey and make his life miserable, and I wish he would bleed Jacks wallet dry. He could own both of them with what he knows. Time to use it! He’s out now, his dad is dead, and there’s nothing Jack could do to his mom.....it’s time to get down and dirty!

So where is the coin collection his dad told Billy and Brett about? Grab it and sell it and I’m sure it’s more than enough to get him by. Or, now that he has nothing to lose, he needs to visit Jack again and drive the knife deep into his wallet!

Loved it!! Made me smile and laugh and was a great way to start my day!

I wish Billy would cut his hair! I know that seems stupid, but he’s totally let himself go. If he would cut his hair, he would once again see the cute boy he is, and then the real Billy could have a chance to come through. He’s using that hair as a weapon against his mom, and as a way to hide from the world. Cutting it will be the first step towards coming out of his funk.

Another very interesting chapter. As someone who has zero experience with gay culture, it’s always fun to read about Key West and now Fire Island. Politics aside, I love this series and reading about CJ and his family. Ritchie is still one of my favorites. I love how you’ve let him be his own person and even though CJ is an atheist, Ritchie has kept himself grounded in his faith. Very much like Paddy has done as well. I sincerely appreciate how you never get “preachy”and allow the characters to all have the right, and the platform, to believe and act as they choose. Too many times an authors personal views drown out any attempts to show an alternate side of things. But you’ve developed all of the characters to defy any preconceived stereotypes. Thanks for the balanced, and realistic, look at life!!!

So glad for the new chapter!!!

Love that Chris and Daniel found each other. Good for them!! Now if only Bryce would find someone. I still can’t decide if he and Kes are straight, bi, or gay....or if either of them have even given it much thought. For two strong, virile men, it’s strange that neither seem to be interested in romantic relationships. Hopefully the next series will give us more insight into father and son, and they both find someone to love. Great story!!

I’m sad that Bryce cut off anything with Daniel. I think they could have been really good together. 😥

Fantastic story!! In my mind, Carlton and Sam have been dating on the down low and soon will be a full-time couple lol. I know I’m a sap, but Carlton needs to find love. Oh and Brodie and Amanda fall in love too. That’s the post script in my mind anyway Hahahaha. Thank you for such a great story and for sharing your talent with all of us. I’ve enjoyed it very much!!!

Oh no, only one more chapter!?!? I’m hoping it has a very happy ending!

I’m disappointed to see the crew breaking up. But, I’m sure it will work out for the best in the long run. I hope at least haha. With Carlton being even more busy in the future, I hope that doesn’t further limit him in finding someone to love.

I am sad that they may break up the great team. But I guess change is the one thing we can all count on

Great chapter within a fantastic story!

Oh.....drama is coming! LOL. I hope Brodie isn’t some homophobe. And if he is, he better be prepared to rethink his ways rather quickly haha

As would I!!!

Always interesting to read your take on politics and social issues. I love how you’ve balanced CJs views. As a Republican, I find that CJ and I share some similar beliefs, even though he and I would rarely support the same candidate. Haha. I really enjoy how you weave politics and social issues through the story without being overbearing or preachy. As always, thank you for sharing your characters and your talent with us!! Fantastic chapter, as always!!!!

It’s so strange to me hearing about swimming on New Years Day lol. In most of the US, one doesn’t want anywhere near water that time of year haha. I would love to be down under during the holidays just to experience it. And Prince Frederik and Princess Mary are such a beautiful couple. They always seem so kind when you see videos of them.
