At the beginning I thought Michael was going to be the level headed Daddy and Kendall the gushing romantic baby boy. Not so! It appears the roles are reversed and I'm enjoying it. As for Candy, I knew people in my past that matched Candy , in one case far more vicious. Well her bountiful bottom is now sitting in jail for attempted murder. I did say 'far more vicious' didn't I? As for rewrites, nothing in the last few chapters glared REWRITE so I'm not sure what you mean. The only suggestion I would have would be in sections with continuous dialogue to identify the speakers more frequently. I sometimes get confused about who is speaking. If I backtrack a bit I can identify the speaker. That is not a fault, just a suggestion for those of us who wasted their brain cells during their university years. Re: Previous rambling on homophones, 'wasted' vs 'waisted' "I waisted an hour doing nothing." Really? LOL I thought of that as I wrote the above.

Wow, rewrite for future chapters, Kendall needs to be in Social Work or a psychologist.

I sense the general feeling is "he who tops, wins". That is so far from true. Has no one ever topped not for his own satisfaction but for the pleasure of that person beneath him? Bottom is not synonymous with loosing or subservient or giving in. If anyone thinks that they need to find a new way of loving. A slightly irritated top!!👿

Indeed they did!

In high school I did track and field. A 6' fence wasn't much of a challenge. Now I really have to prepare to get over lint.

"bodacious ta-tas" an expression used to denote a lady with an impressive bust. First time I heard that expression I thought it hysterical and secondly thought "how very gay is that!"

Great love scene which brought the lust and love together and made their union alive.

When you wrote "Sam and Dave" I immediately started humming a tune. Your not so discrete reference to "Soul Man" brought a chuckle but, wouldn't "Hold On I'm Coming" been more appropriate? LOL Enjoying this story.

Seeing the dynamics of the Adams family that sheriff is going to get his ass kicked so hard his nuts are going to be hanging on his nose! I'm really surprised how fast things moved for Jeff and Paul. There have to be bumps coming.

Take solace, you are not alone. Several authors do the same with that one word 'choke' and in some instances it is is hilarious. I'm off to search for your other stories. Good writing deserves a good read.

"April chocked on his own words" the word is 'choked'. Chocked is a totally different word and totally inappropriate! OK, enough of being a retired English teacher. I loved the story. Every page gave me at least 1 chuckle. I had started reading this story before it was completed but knew I had to come back when it was finished then started at the beginning so I could digest the entire story at once. You write with great humor, something I loved. This is in the top 5 stories I have read on GA and that covers 181 stories. I will be looking to see what else you have written but this was a total winner. Keep writing, you have talent!

A difficult story to read but well worth the time. It certainly focuses on the importance of mental health issues and the need for more funding and better understanding. A remarkable read.

So much of this was very familiar to me. I volunteer on the Crisis Intervention line and the Suicide Prevention line. It really hurt to read very similar situations that I have experienced. Professionals must remain detached and objective but that doesn't mean we don't hurt with our clients. I wasn't very many chapters in before I started my mantra "Get professional help. Call this number." By the time I was nearing the end I was shouting in my mind "Get professional help!" It can be expensive but there are services such as the ones my University runs which are free or cost very little. Mental health has been so underfunded and public awareness nonexistent or greatly misunderstood but I see that could be changing. Let us hope. Brian, my heart goes out to you. Thank you for sharing this journey with Sam. Hopefully it will open some eyes and lead to better understanding the importance of mental health.

What a wonderful, romantic and well written story! Thank you.

"*Warning* Some sexual content" huh? My grandma could have read this chapter! LOL

Wow, what a ride! There were a good dozen ways this could have ended and right up to the last 2 chapters every scenario I could think of was a possibility. There is still a lot of meat for an epi or a whole new takeoff on some of the characters. I loved reading this Thanks.

"We passed a sleek black car with tinted windows and a leather interior that would have made my 41 year-old friend look as though his penis was the smallest on the block." I read this and had to laugh. It sounds like many 40ish men I know. One even bought a corvette, a red corvette. Men and their penis extensions, cars, guns, ridiculous wardrobe, and Dodge Ram trucks. I remember pulling into a parking lot and this huge Ram pulled in next to me. It looked like it was 3 feet off the ground and weighed 8 tons. Out hopped this diminutive guy all of 5'3", 120 pound of a tiny creature replete with trucker wallet with a chain hanging to his knees. I was sure he would need a ladder to get back in. One word crossed my mind, "compensation". Now for the story, need a rewrite in the next chapter or 2. This is where a reader magically enters the story, grabs Cooper and smacks the shit out of him and smacks some sense into that empty head of his followed by a peepee-slap to stop thinking with that head!😁 As I mentioned before, I really love your style of writing. It flows.

I know this is late, the comments above are dated 2012 and here it is 2020. Well at least the covid crisis has had one advantage, I get to read non-stop. This whole situation is deja vu for me, I being Spencer and all the screw-ups Coop is making is tame to what my version of Coop did. I'm excited to see what happens hopefully won't end as my real life adventure of Spencer and Coop did. Your writing style and plot progression is absolutely perfect. I'm anxious to read the next chapters and then, once read, look for what else you may have written. Good stuff!

Brian I'm so happy you pointed me to this revisit of some wonderful characters. This really hit home with Martin and Stephen. A very close friend lost his husband of 23 years to cancer October 2019. Hard to read through that part. Man I love your writing style and story construction. Hate to sound like a stalker but I will watch for more of your stories. Now it's time to talk my husband into a bubble bath!

I must admit the first few chapters really had me upset with the horrid behavior Donovan exhibited and his eventual mea culpa wasn't quite as much as I wanted but then the story turned the corner and I saw a more likeable character. Still thought a good mental spanking would have been more appropriate. The sympathy, lacking for Donovan was more appropriately given to Shane in my mind. As for story construction and a good use of the English language, a pet peeve but then I taught English/English literature, were outstanding. Echoing the wishes of others, there are side characters, especially Drew, who have tellable stories and deserve to have their stories told.

Donovan is extremely irritating and being a prima donna. I'm not very interested in this story at the moment but hope that Donovan gets his sh&t together soon. Not sure I want to plow through many more chapters of this.

I was OK with Daniel up to this point. Although he's been a bit devious Daniel's actions were in self-defense and self-preservation. But the dog, my god! Animal abuse is sickening, horrid under any circumstances. That was just SICK.

Although this story isn't new I finally got a chance to read it. What a fun and funny delightful story! Couple of typos but the grammar was very good. This story really made me smile.

What the hell kind of 'hospital' did they go to? There is no way in hell I'd sign papers for the release a patient in that condition.

LOL what a fun story. I would love these guys in my circle of friends. The sound so unpredictable, a lively couple. Excellent writing.
