I'm all caught up. What a great story so far. Like always this has the MrsGnomie signature: Great characters, good story, amazing dialogue, and flawed but attainable characters. Very much looking forward to seeing this unfold.
He's slowly getting over each of the hurdles. It's hard, but he's doing it. I think Kyan is damn lucky to have Perry and Jessica by his side. The entire family actually, but I think those two are and will continue to be paramount for Kyan and his kids.
As a kid who lost a parent when I when I was seven this story gives me a new perspective to the life my mother went threw. Very real. And you're right, it got better.
I know 9 months is hard to swallow but it's not completely unrealistic when you consider the fact they don't know each other. Loren is just a guy Jay sees every now and again at the bar. I kind of like it isn't one of those things that happens instantly.
I binged this story when I first found it but I skipped the comments. I now know that was a mistake. I think this second read through will be so much better. This is such an amazing story.
It seems a lot of reviews are from reader familiar with the authors work. There are many references to past work regarding her technique and style. I'm new to here. I right this review knowing none of her past work. Jay and Loren are my first experience but my god, what an amazing experience. If I was to compare it to coffee or wine, this story would be full body. The story and characters are written so easily and yet with so much complexity. If you read this story (including the main story) you will:
Fall in love with these characters
Fall in love with the kids
Be absolutely devastated at various points
Smile so big it hurts
Want to murder multiple people
Hug your phone
Need several days to recuperate once you're finished.
Now I'm going to read the rest of her stories and see what the fuss is about.
The chapter we all needed. Favorite part was Jay and Taylor sneak attacking Derek and his teammates. It embodies how wholesome Jay really is. Except he ran out and left them to clean it all up LOLOLOL. Thank you for giving us this piece of Jay and Loren. I'm counting down the days until we get the final piece of this puzzle.
