This didn’t feel rushed, even though you basically covered the whole summer. You conveyed enough of what was going on as well as what was felt. It was a busy, venture filled summer for these three families, I look forward to the Gala and the double wedding. I’m glad you got through the visit. Relatives, can’t live with them, can’t kill them. 🤷‍♀️

And the teaming up begins....lol. Liam and Cassie’s intro was cool but it was Nash and Cassie’s reintroduction that touched me more. I know you mentioned against young romance but I did note a spark between Liam and Keon. 🤔 I wish you bullshit repellent and a call cancelling the visit. Thank you for getting us this chapter in the midst of your chaos.

Hi Goldie!! So Jett the jerk had a good streak once upon a time (actually still does if his concern for Jay is any indication) and April was the beneficiary of it. Something tells me if Jett gets April to color his hair blond he’ll remember him from the past. The connection is still strong-Jett only found one guy attractive before April, he doesn’t realize he’s still attracted to the same guy, and he’s protective of him from the Z brothers. Seems April is attracted, too. And Jay is adorbs!! I look forward to finding out who Jay’s mom is and what these two will do about their attraction to each other.

That breakfast sandwich and the summer pancakes at Betty Ann’s....God!! Lol!! You’ve made me really hungry. You write a good sex scenes, if I’ve never mentioned it before. 🔥 “This is really what being in love was about. The simple, easy satisfaction of knowing you are exactly where you belong and who you belong with.” Phrases like this that sum up the deepest of feelings in the simplest way; I loved reading this and I wish this for you and all who read your work. ❤️

Am I sensing a possible romance a’brewin? 🤔

Betty-Anne’s sounds great. I love genuine diner food (or diner-like food, lol). The cinnamon rolls and breakfast pastries sound divine. I enjoyed reading the prep involved in getting ready for Liam’s homecoming and Keon sounds gorgeous, I hope being around each other is beneficial for Liam and Keon both. Yay for clean garages, lol and I hope you had a great visit with your elder child.

Hi Goldie!!!! 👋 I’m back to reading your stories here; This one has a very interesting start....it’s nothing less than I expect from the story magician who can turn words to literary gold. I eagerly anticipate the next installment.

I left out my praise for John in my comments but I share your opinion about him wholeheartedly, what a remarkable caretaker he is.

The road of parenthood is filled with bumps...I’m glad you got over this one.

I’m sorry your day was rough and appreciate that you still sent out your chapter while life wasn’t ideal. I hope it helped you a little bit, as reading about Jarren and his new family always makes me smile. Liam’s backstory was fleshed out well and fit with the irascible character we’ve been introduced to. Liam, Nash and Jarren met at the right time in each other’s lives; Each is an irreplaceable part of this new future being mapped out. Liam: “Knock Knock” Nash: “Who’s there?” Liam: “Broken pencil.” Nash: “Broken pencil who?” Moment of silence. Liam: “Never mind, there’s no point.” 🤣 Fair warning-I will be using this, lol!! “He was only a little concerned when Nash whispered something to Jarren and Jarren had shaken his head rapidly. The only word that he had been able to catch was ‘Cassie’. He wondered who she was and why they didn’t want to tell him about her. Maybe she was crazy and lived in a mental hospital or was massively deformed like the hunchback of Notre Dame. Oh well, he’ll find out eventually.” Yes, Liam certainly will find out eventually, lol. 😳 For all of the quirks in Cassie’s strong personality, she is a nurturer, I believe Cassie will take Liam under her protective wing and...I think will have met her quick witted, sharp tongued match in the 12 year old. I now look forward to Cassie meeting both Liam and Nash, with a little more curiosity about her and Nash-Cassie last saw him at a very traumatic time and while Lex’s meeting with Nash went smoothly, I wonder if Cassie’s said protective streak will reveal itself; She’s a wild card when it comes to meeting folks, lol.

Liam wasn’t the only one with tears in his eyes when Jarren and Nash asked him to live with them (eventually). Looking at Juju’s personal effects was also very touching. I think “Matchgame” was the best game show of the 70’s and I liked both “Password” and “$25,000.00 Pyramid” Is it going to be a big wedding for the guys (and when?)

This chapter had the guys truly come into their own, as individuals enhanced by their relationship with each other. The communion of their souls through sex in this chapter only solidified their absolute intimacy; They will be able to take on whatever happens together. The song “Through the Fire” by Chaka Kahn came to my mind at the end of the chapter; Jarren and Nash haven’t known each other long but have weathered storms that would test anyone. I look forward to Nash’s full integration into Jarren’s family, particularly Cassie. Hi Ryan!! 👋

So will the three be Dalton? Hawkins? Dalton-Hawkins? Hawkins-Dalton? Dawkins? Halton?

The chapter was perfect. I’m glad Lex shared his gift with Jarren and Nash and am glad Lex told Nash about their connection w/o Jarren informing him first. It’s right that Ian and Lex help Jarren, Nash and Liam become a family. Seeing Liam’s reaction to his new situation will be priceless (barring any roadblocks you may add, of course 🙂)

HI RYAN!!!! 👋 👋 I’m glad both recoveries are progressing well and I LOVE Jarren and Lex’s friendship.

Very promising start. Mark is obviously head over heels about Mickey, yet I sense a predatory air about him, like he prefers to be in charge of a relationship. I don’t know how that will impact their future interactions but I’m interested in finding out. Mickey seems to me more easygoing but not as much of a pushover as one might think.

It didn’t occur to me until this chapter that the accident and Nash’s amputation would only bond Liam, Nash and Jarren even more to each other. I am WAY glad that Nash losing his foot wasn’t the end of his relationship with Jarren, was even more glad Jarren stood up for their relationship the way he did....guess Jarren’s closet is only for coats now. 😊

You did an incredible job taking us on a unique journey in “A Tattoo for Lex” and are doing an equally good job in “A Decision for Jarren”. I can’t say I’m happy about Nash losing his foot but it is a realistic circumstance of the accident, bad things unfortunately happen to good people. Jarren and Nash are perfect for each other and you have provided the perfect setting for them discovering their love. I look forward to how you will take Nash through his latest challenge and how you will add him to the loving family of characters you’ve created. In case you weren’t certain, I think you’re doing a fabulous job. You are a great writer.

I’m going to miss Danny too. “Bye Danny” 👋 Hope his new relationship can survive long distance. I like the ease of normalcy that has quickly been established with Jarren and Nash and already view them and Liam as a family unit. Looking forward to Lex, Cassie and crew meeting Nash.

SOOO CUTE!!!! That was a nice, teasing build up to the kiss, looking forward to more. Thank you for taking your readers into consideration with the timeline.

Yep, Aubrey’s interested. I’m curious about Aubrey’s boyfriend and how happy they are with each other. It’s clear Andrew has a chance and Aubrey’s fighting it, lol.

This is really cute!!!! My eyes started to glaze over during the limits explanation, lol but I like the vibe between Tyler and Sean. Sean’s crush on Tyler is adorable....guess we’ll find out if Tyler has any interest, too.

Nice. Andrew needs some maturity and Aubrey needs some fun. That jolt seems to indicate they can find exactly what they need from each other. I think Joel’s husband is the leak, lol.

So Cutie Pie is a pyromaniac, interesting.... When I saw Asher referred to as “hot”, I thought that was referencing his looks, guess it meant a little more.

Andrew needs some humbling, actually it seems like they both could. Let the meeting begin....
