Indian Summer is a quick read that completely turns the table on Joe - the sexy hero. But the change is exactly what Joe needs. A hot little number.

Indian Summer, Part Two of Three

Well one surprise might lead to another for Joe. Let’s see what Dylan has in store. -
Ash and Taggert make a good team - The Tag Team. This seems to be a high functioning group of men who get on well together. Makes for a good working environment.

Thinking exactly the same. I would have expected Taggert to wait for the others to finish then shower alone. So his shower behaviour was unexpected.

An excellent start and the best genre of all- cowboys!

The Quiet Between Them is a story of love set in Florence as the Renaissance is beginning. Under attack in various ways, the love between Matteo and Gianluca is eventually allowed to find its place and flourish. A great read.

A brilliant story, well told. Thank you!
-
I don’t have an issue with a rogue friar, however, he needs to be in or out. How Benedetto treated Gianluca was shocking so it will be interesting to see if he is given the same opportunity to “reflect”. But as Matteo points out, unless the underlying issues are addressed, another will come in the place of Benedetto.
-
Which is exactly what he is saying - we enslave ourselves to institutions for the security they provide at the cost of freedom. He is, in fact, doing nothing different to the bishops, to Lorenzo or anyone else in power, who all wrap themselves in the authority of institution to influence the minds and choices of people, very often for the greater benefit of the few.
-
The silly thing is that Benedetto is not wrong. We do not need a church, a bishop or a pope to preach the Gospel and he is preaching a kind of liberation theology which centuries later ran like wildfire across South and Central America. What I find disturbing about holiness and many others who preach absolute freedom in whatever form they choose to preach it - be it religious, social or political - is that this ultimately means “the freedom I choose to allow you”. Benedetto would likely not remain an impartial provider of the word but take on the power given him by obedient followers.
-
The machine is now in motion and Benedetto will reap the wind that is coming. Now in that crowd somewhere could there be a young Savanarola?
-
Benedetto’s words are vague enough to defend yet explicit enough to be incendiary. The question is how will the abbots respond and what impact will that have on the people of Florence.

Indian Summer, Part One of Three

Joe is super hot and super cool at the same time. As at @akascrubber suggests, Dylan is probably going to be the issue rather than Diane. Unless Dylan and Luca are already an item. -
Benedetto has sparked off a fibre. Will the combined prudence of the city and its leaders be enough to avoid violence,
-
Well the motion has begun and the cogs are grinding.
-
Let’s see how Florence take this. We already know Fra Bernadetto will call it a structural sin seeking stability. I’m looking forward to seeing the face off.
-
Life is getting interesting for George and he is going to enjoy the challenge of leading a crew of sailors again. He and Capt Palomar are going to have a crazy, sexy relationship once the get past dancing around one another.
-
Matteo and Gianluca are finally coming down to the nuts and bolts of things and Lauretta is being remarkably generous. Will this have the strength to withstand the heat of religious disapproval and secular avoidance? I certainly hope so.
-
The battle lines are being drawn and there must be a victor. These opposites will struggle to cohabit one space.
-
Lorenzo’s response is something like a teacher’s to the naughty kid in the room - ignore him and praise the good ones in the vicinity. I’m not sure how this will go with the friar. Let’s see.
-
Fra Bennedetto’s influence will need to be neutralised if Matteo and Gianluca are to survive and flourish. Lauretta has morphed from a quiet pale little thing, into a woman of substance.
-
Lauretta and Danilo are twin towers of strength in this. The friars will not forget and this may come back to them later. They need to be prepared with information that can silence the order or with the city’s authority.
-
Always and without fail.
-
When the time comes to act, I hope it is both decisive and positive in outcome.
