This sequel is so important, important because it gives a hope for a second chance. We know how rare second chances are, so, when it happens, you should be grateful and accept it with open heart. The message of the story has been given by @Ronyx himself in last chapter - “Don’t be afraid to love”. I strongly recommend reading prequel "Brittle as a Bird" first, only then you will have a complete picture, you will understand characters and consequences the past have made on their lives.

This was the first story by @Ronyx I have red, and still one of my favorites. This author is famous for his socially engaged themes. Whether it is racial, sexual or some other sort of discrimination, Ronix goes deep in the topic, exploring characters, emotions and human behavior. Disowned by deeply religious and selfish parents, abused by fanatic and hypocritical pastor, Matt - once good boy and promising student, find himself surviving on the streets. In a twist of fate, Matt is in position to help the boys from the street. As being one of them, it is not the knowledge from the books that can help them, but the same experience Matt is sharing with boys. These are so beautiful and emotional scenes that they will bring tears on your face. We can call Matt a hero, but he would correct us by saying that he is just a survivor.

@Headstall is the master of communication and dialogs writing, and this story is the very best of it. Throughout the story, we see the growth of the men, becoming mentally stronger with developing self-confidence. The final confrontation, where every word spoken hit the right point is one of the best scenes and dialogs, I have red on GA. One of those rare moment when you think that author hit the top - there is simply no other or better way to write it than the author did it! I'm coming back often to this story, to reread at least last chapter.

I’m aware that world is not some utopia where justice always wins but, let me dream about it! 🙂 Off course, as author, you have every right to develop your story as you like it and feel it. You are absolutely right about Josh and his position in society, at least he has Ethan to help him and support him. Many victims must face the problem alone. Anyway, if you ever decide to write some epilogue, think about satisfying karma and brig some joy to your readers in this awful world. 🙂

Wonderful story, a true masterpiece which once you read, you continue coming back (for at least a few distinguished chapters). It is a love story, but it is also a story about maturing, family, loyalty and friendship. Nash, a wonderful guy, great with children, star of the town; but, oblivious to all his qualities and other people feelings about him. Penn, whole life in love with one person, loved and supported by his brothers but living in their shadow. Their journey, with so much beautiful small scenes which are the jewels of author’s writing is absolute joy of reading. Scenes in Thailand, romantic and sensual are simply amazing. Scenes on Hawaii when everything comes on its place, when Alpha becomes what he is meant to be all the time – Alpha male of the family (if you read the story, you will understand what I mean 😜 ), are so satisfying. Rich with intelligent humor, emotions and beautiful characters, this story can be considered as one of the best here at GA. Bravo!

"When Opportunity Knocks" is my favourite of you! 🙂

Yes, Kyan is exellent father, amazing one...but, somebody else is finance it, and its humiliating. I have red this chapter again, and, as much as shopping scene, with Kyan wearing begs is charming...I felt sad for him. He is so nice, no envies or jealousy toward Perry...he realy feels like burden as Mrsg said.

Well written story but I cannot completely enjoy it because for me is not acceptable victim not to report rape, rapist to walk away free and, above all, make a joke about it around the school!

Not scared, just amazed with first comment fight!

Well, I have needed six months to make a decision and join GA (so much about my fascination with Kyan 😅 ), but now that I'm here, hooligans I'm all yours! 😂

exactly! 😂

If Kyan doesn't do anything about his financial independence, and, somehow, stay with Perry, he will have the same relationship he had with Dayna - with more sex and less children!

Hallo everybody, I’m new here and English is not my nativity language, so I apologize in advance for any spelling and grammar mistakes. Anyway, I have to say that this is one of my favorite authors here at GA (“Knots” is one of my all-time favorites story which I reread and reread from time to time). Also, this story has captured me so far – Kyan is my favorite character, adorable and charming in all his imperfection. Perry is wonderful no doubt but I see a lot of myself in Kyan, so, maybe that’s why is he number one for me. The problem I can see in their relationship is Kyan’s financial dependence. In every chapter (in this one particularly) we can see how bad is Kyan feeling regarding his financial position. They cannot stay together if they are not equal partners. Feelings are there – love and passion are there; family acceptance is there…even Max will not be a big problem. There might be some more drama but generally, everything will come on its place only this huge money discrepancy can make a damage on their relationship. Kyan should finish some school, he should find some job, and not just some…he should be successful, independent so he could burst self-confidence and self-respect. Kyan doesn’t want to be a mistress, no matter how harsh it might sound, and no matter Perry’s attentions are completely honorable. This will not be an easy road for both him and Perry. Perry might feel that there is no need for this, maybe some separation (just like between Nash and Penn) might be necessary so that both of them can grow up and end up in stronger and inseparable relationship.
