    Chapter 1

    Something's telling me I'm going to like this story 🙂
  2. This was so unexpected. As a native of Illinois (Chicagoland, no less) I was immediately drawn to the story because of its title. Then the issue of dealing with a homophobic mother (mine was only mildly so, thank heavens) seemed to take me one way, but the text took us another way. I will have to go back now and find the author's other works. I am looking forward to that voyage of discovery. Meanwhile, I hope everyone - from author to readers - had a great holiday today. Mine was splendid - even without any bedroom naughtiness LOL.

    Chapter 1

    Makes me wonder if I've missed out on something. Kinda late for me, though - I've passed my three-score and ten already.

    Hopefully this match made in Greece will prove to be a match made in heaven!

    Chapter 1

    I had no ideal that such a story - the premise, the setting, the possible entrapment - would appeal to me. But it does. Considerably. I will gladly read on!

    Prologue

    Indeed, my good doctor, indeed!

    Chapter 1

    I'm with @Tonyr on this. You caught me too!
  8. Better yet, might they post it HERE - or is that a no-no?

    Chapter 1

    Always enjoyed just about anything @chris191070 has ever written. This is no excetion, so I'm very much looking forward to see how this develops. I am quite different from both Frank and John, yet I feel some sort of (kinship?) connection. I guess that's one of the marks of a good author. Kudos!

    November Surprise

    After yesterday's debate, there was renewed attention paid to his eyeliner.

    Entry 57 & 58

    When Ross goes back to London, wouldn't it be nice not to have pushed Thomas away? I mean, a bird in hand is worth two in the bush, eh?

    Entry 56

    I don't remember life being so complicated LOL. But maybe nobody really had a crush on me at Thomas' age - or I was simply oblivious to it. It was all so, so long ago - though I clearly remember being "involved" with the boy across the street when we were both turning 12. I knew at the time that wasn't just a phase, or if it was, I'm still going through it 🙂
  13. Ah, yes - the source of my own (occasional) undoing. Reminds me of a song (no, not by ABBA @Summerabbacat lol): "She's come undone." At one point, that was almost my personal Theme Song. Still is, come to think of it. But instead of "pheromones," I usually call it "Kryptonite." It's more euphemistically subtle, somehow.
  14. I'm in tears. So beautiful. So haunting. THANK YOU @CasualWanderer82. It has been decades since I was last in my mother's homeland. I should go back. This might be the enducement I needed...
  15. Our most amazing author, @CasualWanderer82, has an uncanny knack for doing that. I am in awe.
  16. @CasualWanderer82 I'm going backwards, still devouring Our Summer Rhapsody, but I can't get enough of your talents - so here I am at Ground Zero, so to speak. As I've said elsewhere (but some things bear repeating), you have taken me back to my younger days, vacationing with family in Mediterranean climes and then traveling on my own. The linguistic interplay brings me back as well - not that I am as gifted - I am merely bilingual with a smattering of other regional languages. Heck, I've tried to "learn" Italian so many times, each one less successful than the previous, despite my genetic heritage. But enough about me. YOU are the Man! Thanks!
  17. I hope I look that good when I reach that age - and he just improves with time. As for me, I thinking I'm wilting.
  18. OMG. I lived in the UK (well, Scotland) for a few years - you've got it all coming back to me like a (bad?) dream!!!
  19. Ah, a man after my own, um, heart! We need to organize our OWN transcontinental watch partay - sex on zoom, anyone? So sad about Bjorn, however... *sigh*
  20. Too bad Bjorn is str8 (he IS str8, isn't he??!?). As for the time element, @Summerabbacat, perhaps we could mount (is there a pun in the there someplace?) an instant replay for your viewing pleasure - you do like to watch, don't you?
  21. If it's a group affair, could all of us @Robert Hugill fans be invited to assist?
  22. Utterly captivating from the get-go, taking me back to my own Mediterranean wanderings of yesteryear as I searched for my own Niko. It would take me several decades to accomplish the break-through, the escape, that Oliver achieved. Better late than never! @CasualWanderer82 : your readers are forever in your debt.
  23. That has been my experience - every once in a blue moon it behaves, however. I've attributed it to posslbe francophonic / genetic engineering, given that in my own life, French occasionally pops out inadvertently, unbidden. My "friends" have gotten use to that idiosyncratic "feature" of mine - hopefully they find it more charming than annoying. Strange to say, though, it never happens when I'm in the throes of passion. Then, it's English all the way - hence my self-characterization as English-dominant (though I'm NOT a dom!)
  24. Thought I'd die laughing at this one! Touche (now where in the world is the acute accent on this #*(& American keyboard??!?)
  25. In my mind, he was "Demon". But I guess none of us are beyond redemption...
