The most amazing conclusion for the most controversial topic of the story! 😂 After all the time that has passed, it is not more than an anecdote, but I understand their need to grab HEA without secrets. Great ending to a great story, I've kept my thoughts for the Review! 😉

Your poems are so lyric and calm. Nature is endless inspiration, and you show the Nature in all her glory through your verses. I like poetry but reading it might be a challenge for someone whose native language is not English. It cannot be a fast read for sure.

Orion and Quinn's road to love could be titled with Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew! Nevertheless, these guys complement each other ideally - both in bed and office! Planner and executive! 😁 I haven't missed that Caleb has been with Quinn's family. In some early chapters, he expressed interest in Aiden, but it has not been mentioned that Aiden is gay. Does it mean they are an item now?! 🤔 Another great chapter @P. E. Knapp, if I can make a wish...I would like more exciting events at the see (diving, sailing...). You marvelously write adventures at sea!

I have to admit, Ralph has easily become my favorite @Robert Hugill's character! Probably because I find him very similar to me ! Once again @Robert Hugill has proved himself as master writing ordinary things - extraordinary and exciting. Shopping e.g. I've been there, so I know that exciting feeling and insecurity trying to find something new, something you, actually, like. It is amazing to exit your comfort zone, even if it is only buying a shirt or briefs (btw, knickers - new word to me). And then, liberating feeling waring something new, exciting, sexy - feeling good! The following photo session is going to be interesting - Ralph and Nolan, Russ...and newly married couple as bonus! I cannot wait to see that encounter. Ralph is looking for some 'real' friends, well, with Emil and Marcus, plus Brian and Gordon - who could ask for more?!

“...you and Uncle Andre have shown me that it’s possible to be gay and have good lives, that you can be qualified and have good jobs, that you can be in a loving relationship, you can be good parents, and you can be open about being gay and the world doesn’t have to come crashing down around you... Both of you are our role models. You have shown us that we don’t have to be worried about being gay, we just have to be good people...” This beautiful extract from the last chapter of this amazing story summarizes the plot and gives the moral to remember! Following the lives of Andre and Chris, we see their emotional growth, tightening of their relationship, the influence they make on their family, friends and surrounding. Good people, indeed. Story starts as a light-spirited romantic tale about relationship between two extraordinary guys we have already met in prequel 'Beau'. Playfully 'dancing' at the edge, but never crossing the line of monogamy, @Paladin gives his homage to gay lifestyle writing about erotic skinny dipping, mutual showers or gentle cuddling between friends, partners and lovers. As story progress, demons from the past occurs, threatening the happiness of the main protagonists. Overcoming every obstacle, they become the central gathering point of family and friends. They become the role models for young boys, someone always ready to listen, help and support. Dealing with child abuse, health issues, children care and fostering, cybercriminal, new technologies...but also love, friendship, caring and supporting - Andre and Chris are traveling this amazing journey through 30 chapters, making readers smile, cry and enjoy with them. I suggest you read a prequel 'Beau', charming story which introduce us to main characters and setup a stage for 'Andre and Chris'.

Our has spilled juice on the laptop, closed it and left it like nothing happened!

Oh, if she only knew how 'urban' Ludo and Arthur's 'lifestyle' is!!!

Yes, when Ralph mentioned 'underground' Nazi experiments, it has instantly reminded me of notorious dr. Josef Mengele who conducted experiments on Jewish twins in Auschwitz. His nickname was the 'Angel of Death'. Ralph pose and attitude reminds a little bit of some SS officer. There's amazing movie The Boys from Brazil with Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier. Mengele is alive in Brazil, making experiments with Hitler's DNA in order to clone him. Nevertheless, back to the story... I like this combination of mystery and adventure with teenage romance. I'm anxious to find out who are Norwegians?!

I would say it's bottom in charge, at leat in this story. 🤔 Maybe I'm wrong...

Mitches are bitches! 🤪

That picture is going to hang above fireplace, to be seen by parents at Ralph and Nolan's wedding! Maybe with Donald Mitchel's reproductions on another wall...

I'm sure about 'opening'! If I remember well - Russ, Gordon and Brian like to play together, so, one pair more - the merrier party!

This chapter is like extended previous one - sex, sex...some learning...sex, sex...some diving...sex, sex... I LIKE it! 😁 My only question is why was 'top from the bottom' phrase repeated so many times? Ok, I understand it is sort of sex game between them, yet...

I'm so happy for Ralph. What amazing feeling must be being yourself, enjoying the sex and intimacy the way you feel it and need it! He's growing up finally and becoming self-confident. So, it's not going to be just Ralph in thongs on the billboard at the entrance of the Golf club... It is going to be Ralph and Nolan in thongs...maybe hugging! 😉

Half-brother, actually. Although, it is not absolutely clear who is the father. As Richard was taken to his country by his parents, and we know Simon is not a father, who might be the one at graduation party?!

Yes, he is! Coward with no balls! I can understand the fear, but I cannot understand idea to throw under the bus someone you claim you love to save your own ass! Especially knowing that Asher was the one who pushed the things between them. He was the one who started kissing on the beach! What now, he has amnesia or something?! Interesting, I'm not so sick of what he did as much as of the idea of Asher coming to apologize - again! 🤮

Except for lack of intimacy, seems it was quite pleasant family weekend. Calm before storm?! Maybe... Anyway, I have to agree with my GA friends, even in a good mood, there is something cold about Jackie. Hope we'll see her leaving their life soon!

Great ending! Maybe it would have been easier to issue a statement and answer the questions later then stand in front of medias as in front of firing squad. But I understand that announcement Bruce has made was addressed to Damien! It was his grand gesture! It's nice that both of them have kept their jobs and carriers, staying in relationship no matter the distance. Schofield and Karen are not very smart. Reading their explanations has been as watching them digging their own graves! 🤪

Triumph of Love! If there is one sentence that could describe this amazing story, then my choice would be Triumph of Love! @CasualWanderer82 continue to excel in romance genre. This time, the plot is set up at beautiful Caribbean resort. Damien, a child from the street has found his home at this incredible hotel. He has grown into young man whose dedication and love for his job in leisure and hotel organization made him highly respected professional. But can he stay calm, stoic and strictly professional when his guest is handsome and irresistible NLB player Bruce Thompson. Love is in the air but, Bruce is married! Bruce is not out to the world! Bruce depends on sponsor contracts and Ligue support. Stakes are huge, enemies are waiting for the wrong step, medias are following every move... Is there a chance for a love?! Is there happily ever after for our protagonists? Well, start reading and find out what a real love, with proper support from a real friends can do!

Superstraight?!? Nope..if we are looking for a labels, I would say pan. Very sexual anyway! 😉 I haven't seen 'superstraight' character in @CasualWanderer82's stories!

Hope they put the full frontal picture of Ryan in thongs on the billboard at the entrance of the Golf Club! 😜

I've read prologue when it was published and stopped reading further. I thought it is one of those stories with plot going backwards and I haven't been in mood for that at the time. Seeing this chapter published yesterday and reading a few comments, I've decided to give it another chance... Oh boy...I've read all 10 chapters in one day - simply couldn't stop! Great story, I'm totally hooked!

But mothers and nanas (with few nasty exceptions) are, generally, very authentic, charming and sooo English! 😁

What a classy way to show a middle finger to your parents - moon them all over the medias! 😂 🤣😂🤣

Laura is awfully possessive mother, is it "Jocasta Complex"? Very strange! Who is Eric who is suddenly proposing Carter? Have I missed him somewhere or he is a completely new character? And why did he bring infamous, coldhearted aunt? Well, we have supposed that crazy Dexter is the one involved in Elena's captivity. If I've understood well, he is not Elenas's son but, how the disappearance of his parents fits in all of this is still mystery!
