Nash’s naivety has been a source of amusement for me in the story as well lol, when it hasn’t touched me or made me feel protective of him: “You know what the hottest thing about you is?” .... “It’s that you have no clue how hot you are. You go through life oblivious to those around you. You don’t see the way people look at you.” That’s pretty much Nash in a nutshell.

I think the forwarding of the emails to his attorney and Lee’s boss is all he can do while he‘s abroad....With these new developments, I don’t think Nash will have any problem facing Lee head on in the future. (His involvement with Penn highlighted the inequity of emotions in his marriage to Lee, Penn’s feelings for him will give him the ego boost he needs to finally put his ex husband in the rear view mirror where he belongs.)

😍 As nice as the sexy bits were, the sweetest part of this chapter was the revelation of the devotion both Nash and Penn had/have to each other. The length of Penn’s devotion was a surprising but lovely discovery. I don’t think Nash will need as much time as he thinks he will to move forward into a future with Penn, lol!! Where does Lee think he has a leg to stand on in trying to fight the divorce? With his infidelity out there, the only hope he has to keep his job and anything left of his reputation in their small town is to go along with the proceedings. It’ll serve his suck up ass right when he sees that Nash and Penn are together, that Nash will be in with the Knotts in a way he will ne-ver be. Lee will never have the same devotion that Nash showed him in any future relationship and he’ll never be truly happy in any future relationship he’s in because he’s not truly happy in or with himself. Thank you for the “start”, lol. It’ll be hard for Penn to leave Nash behind when he has to go back home but the future looks bright. ☀️ 🕶

This is a ❤️ and 😄

*SIGH* I saw this update this morning and had to read it....threw my whole schedule off but it was worth it, lol. I love Nash’s self awareness and admire the hell out of his self control. (My “flesh” is way weaker than his) Mrsgnomie, you’ve painted such an obvious, detailed picture of two people deeply in love with each other without words AND still make the verbal acknowledgment highly desired. I eagerly anticipate the discussion these two need to have; I can’t even begin to imagine their first kiss and first sexual time together. This chapter was excellent foreplay.

😳🥺 Please don’t kill my chapter high....

“Tell me I’m not crazy,” he pleaded. No, Penn, you aren’t crazy....This chapter however, made me crazy in the VERY best way possible. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I. LOVED. IT. Everything that should have happened happened...with extra❣️❣️ I will try not to go crazy before the next post. THANK YOU so much for the early extra post, by the way. 🙏 👏

Your whole review was excellent but it was your observations about Nisa that really resonated with me-She is insane in her obsession with Kastan and I don’t believe she will go willingly into marriage with someone else. Nisa’s death is coming....either through her machinations with the empress or from her own plotting but she will never live or let Kastan and his family live peacefully. I, for one, can’t wait.

A progressive chapter of growth for Nash. There will be steps forward and backward on his journey to bachelorhood but he’s very aware of the boundaries he needs to keep in his relationships with Penn and Lee. If/when anything jumps off between he and Penn, it’s important to him that it has to be after the official end of his marriage (not that he thinks anything could happen between them, lol). Nash also wants nothing to do with being a side piece in Penn’s marriage either, no matter how irregular said marriage looks. There is something narcissistic about Lee, a disconnect in acknowledging or feeling any empathy for anything he’s done to Nash and their relationship (did he REALLY need to have it explained to him that he had to earn the right to touch Nash again?!?!) I wonder if he genuinely loved Nash or if he loved how much Nash loved him? Nash cutting his hair after Lee touched it and liked it was an act of empowerment that shows he’s definitely moving on. It was good to see a mature conversation between Nash and Shayla, I think it helped the both of them. I hope Nash has a great vacation and that he doesn’t come back to any crap pulled by the two Anuses. (Interesting that their “relationship” seems to be over now that it’s out there....Or is it?)

Funny, I thought the books would all be part of this story, it didn’t occur to me there would be a “complete” on this story yet, lol. I thank you for leaving everyone alive (at least physically). While David and TC faced what we knew about them from chapter one, I must admit to some confusion on David’s reaction; Both are Doms and David was willing to subjugate himself to TC’s will for a while, why would being in love with your best friend make you want to run away? I thought that was the ideal. Is it that David submitted in a way he never thought he could with TC or anyone else? Is David having an identity crisis? Or does he feel emotionally raped by TC? This ending was very sad but as I mentioned before, David and TC have a very strong emotional connection, I believe something can be worked out, although I also think there has to be some bending on TC’s part as well. I look forward to where you lead these two with the next book. Blessed safety to you and your loved ones. 🙏

Another cheating spouse?!?! Damn, Cam.

But I knew there was a real chance I wouldn’t experience love again and that made me sad. **** Penn and I stopped making plans. He just showed up at the cottage everyday and we did life together. It was nice. It helped me feel normal. Nash, Nash, Nash. Smh. A nice chapter of Nash adjusting to his new normal (which includes a lot of Penn). I don’t know what to think of his and Cam’s marriage but if they are split or separated, it seems amicable. For all his going on about telling each other everything, there is something going on in Penn’s life that he isn’t sharing with Nash; His brothers know what it is, too-would they treat Nash and Penn like a couple if Penn were happily married? Listening to slut, I mean Lee, whine about him and his boo made me realize another appointment Nash needs to make: to get tested for std’s, unless that’s part of his racing requirements and he knows he’s clean.

🥺

“Well, only one more chapter left in this part. I'm still looking for the cliffhanger I seemed to have misplaced.“ Grrr. That cliffie better have everyone physically whole. (And alive!!) TC proved invaluable to David again; David can handle himself and doesn’t need someone to take care of him but it’s oh so nice to have someone around who wants to (and does so quite efficiently too). For all that is made of TC’s Super Dom, all the things he’s done for David are things that any caring significant other would do. David isn’t used to being on the receiving end of caretaking and that has his Dom bristling a bit. I look forward to them all being in the same state and much closer to each other. I also harbor curious anticipation to the assessment David and TC will do of their relationship and where it will take them.

Damn. Oookay 😏 (although I was just fine with the way it was, lol!!)

“....I was standing in the room looking for a pair of underwear when I heard the deepest voice ever. It was like sand and gravel covered in dark molasses. I always enjoyed his voice; it was rich and meaningful but his morning voice—wowee. I don’t think words ever sounded so delicious.“ “....You say it like it’s a bad thing. You better keep talking.” I abandoned the search for clothes for the chance to savor the last fleeting moments of Mr. Morningvoice.” “....Penn laughed, which was also incredibly sexy in the morning, then rolled on his stomach and buried his face in the pillow.“ So in rereading this chapter (because I like it so much, tee hee) this exchange jumped out at me: was Nash naked listening to Penn’s sexy morning voice and did Penn react to Nash’s nakedness?!?! 😮 🤞🍆

❤️ Great chapter. Exactly all that needed to happen. What world do Lee and Paul live in that they thought this could stay quiet and what the fuck is up with Paul, period? It seems like more than spoiled, entitled behavior but then again, that’s enough. (I didn’t know he was married?!?!) I wish Nash had split up his and Lee’s bank account but his thinking might be, he doesn’t have the most money in it so no biggie. “A problem shared is a problem halved”. Whew 💨 I’m so grateful for Nash’s new support system, which is 1,000 times better than his old one. Is this it now? Can Nash start to heal or will Lee show him who he truly is? (Please, if there’s a fight, Nash needs to whoop some ass 💪) Even if there is more to come (😳) this chapter made me very happy.

In this world, there’s only one “Nan”. Grandma Lily seems more elegant than Nan so I think another name would fit.

The Tracy reveal is going to be big. I can’t imagine any way that will go down well with Blu. Btw....did I miss how Jonathan is Blu’s bio son when he didn’t have sex with a woman?

You saw what Ma said but I high five you for the effort, lol. (Well, high ten) 🙌

“Once and for all their beautiful town will be fag free or they would die trying.” “The idea of their faith living on for many more years excited both men. They just might have to find a choir or church boy to enjoy themselves when they got back.” Do they want to kill Nessay because they are jealous he can own up to his homosexuality....because what exactly would they be doing with a choir or church boy, play Uno?!?! It’s been a while since I read this, nice to revisit.

There isn’t a pouty lip emoji but that’s what I’d put here, lol.

If that’s a request to post faster....I second that. ☺️
