  1. It isn't always easy to figure out how to live with someone, whether it is platonic or not. Plus, throw in the fact that Louis and Tom have a history, and well it can add to the complications. I truly don't think Tom thought about it, he is just one of those guys that is comfortable with this body, and didn't think about it. I hope Ian doesn't get hurt. I don't think Gus will do so purposely, but Ian is a little fragile, some of that was his aunt, but some is that he has just locked himself away to an extent. Louis has a wicked sense of humor, just have to love it.
  2. I have never been able to understand why a parent does that; if you can't love and take care of the child you are responsible for, give them up for adoption. Charlie will need counseling; glad he is getting it. Brayden did the right thing, this was just something that as long as Charlie wouldn't tell him what was happening, he couldn't really help, and Charlie needed help. Much like @Summerabbacat, I am not sure that his mother will truly change. There is something more than just a little broken when a parent will do something like this.

    Chapter 20

    The things you have to go through to be ready to have a dinner party with nobles and those above and below your status. You can understand how Greg would be annoyed about the secrecy of some of the information he was given, that said, did he simply think that because he was a changed and became a noble, all information would just be given to him immediately? Can't wait to see what happens next.
  4. Would you like a regular temperature year-round or do you like your seasons? Texas used to have seasons when I was very young, not any longer. I would like it to stay 65 degrees F. Do you wear sunscreen regularly? June through October yes, although much like you, should year-round. Did you watch any TV or Movies yesterday? No, never had the TV on. Do you own any old paperbacks or hard cover books still? Literally hundreds, some that I bought in the 1970's. Do you ever read them or are you a digital kind of person now? While I read digital, I truly love holding a book, reading, feeling it in my hands. What is the last book as on paper, did you read? The Correspondent by Virgina Evans
  5. Well, just a little more time to anticipate what is coming.
  6. I honestly think some or maybe much of this could have been avoided if Dante had spoken up a lot sooner. He should have told Alice what was going on as soon as he processed what Frank told him about the wreck and what had been happening. I am not happy with Alice marrying Matthew, you just don't make decisions when this much turmoil is going on. We can pray that Frank will come out of this again, but will there be more damage, will he truly be a child this time? Blaise needs to die, not be hospitalized, not be institutionalized, but die...

    Madrid

    Well, Granger arrives in Madrid and at that house of the Duke de Cardona, and meets his wife, who seemingly does not understand all of what is going on, nor how no matter what she thinks she knows, she does not have the upper hand. I have to wonder how Granger will handle this, seemingly he is stepping into a firestorm, and how he handles this, may well impact how Daventry is able to deal with the situation in Spain. Sending an errant woman to a convent in Spain during that time, was depending on the convent, either the same as a prison, or more like a spa retreat, I doubt the one Cardona will select will resemble the spa...

    Divine Delays

    Just where in the hell is Ra when you need him? Can't Isis do something? Really... So much activity, and so much that can go wrong.

    Chapter 18

    Kaylen guides Tomas and Ronan; and yet they guide him as well. Their commitment to each other is stronger than they even realize. They must make a decision, John Lackland is nearer death than they or many others realize, but what of those that would stand for England, rather than a foreign prince.
  10. Amazing how serendipity and strange connections come into play at times. I love the idea of the story, sounds hilarious. Eileen is a better businessperson than I would have given her credit for, and she clearly has an eye for what might well sell, and sell well. Can't wait to see what happens next.
  11. Fabulous chapter, who knew IM volleyball could be this exciting. I just love all the give and take and back and forth, Austin and Niko add so much to Will's time at Harvard right now. And the fact that Will and Austin just connect that much on the court says a lot, hard to get that connection with someone you just started playing with. OMG, Travis as James Dean will be hot; but Will as a gladiator is going to be epic. Can't wait to see what all the rest end up as. Travis playing Will, knowing he was so close. He wanted to see Will play, and get a look at Austin; can someone say three-way? Can't wait to see what happens next.

    Alice

    OMG, what the hell happened... You never make life decisions in a situation like that, ever.
  13. It was a lucky escape, helped by those that have been under the yoke of tyranny longer than they should or want. Jamal has delivered his first two summons and they have both responded. They travel with Jamal now, to what end, we will see. The Warlock will answer to those around him; he cannot change what he sees only chose to give the information or with hold it. I was hoping they would be able to get the boy in the kitchen, but let's hope he is being protected. Glad that Drake was allowed to come, let's hope it isn't to his death.
  14. Wonderful story, recommend it strongly.

    Chapter 17

    Kaylen understands at least in part what is coming; and while Tomas and Ronan have worked to be ready, the future will be a hard test for them. They will have to make decisions and be able to accept that in following Kaylen and the Baron that they throw their lot in with whom leads them, not what they might truly believe. The country stands at a crossroads, but which way will it turn.
  16. This is the one section/genre that I don't read much out of, but I am going to have to find some time to get to a few of these.

    Alice

    Oh Lord, Alice finally made some decisions and started to make some moves and now.... Well, we aren't sure who is hurt, either, Frank, Dante, or Blaise; I know who I would pick... Why in the Lord does Matthew really want to marry Alice? Does he truly love her, or for financial security, or?

    Chapter 29

    I am sorry, this really has lost me. Hope that it gets to make more sense and that those of you that stay with it enjoy more than I could.
  19. Truly a lovely story and strikes just the right feel. Heartily recommend.
  20. Louis, Charlie, and Tom had a lovely outing. Charlie got to see some art that he enjoyed and got to talk to more than a few people and get some ideas and feedback. Louis and Tom got to visit, and people watch to their hearts content. The discussion turned to the fact that Tom is happy. He sees no place back in the city for him to work or even live at this point. He enjoys where he is and what he is doing. While he wouldn't mind working back with this stepdad, he knows that he would be in his shadow and not his own person, and does anyone ever really enjoy that? Decision is for him to remain here and maybe branch out doing something similar to what he has been doing for Louis once it is completed. You know, a truly good project manager is always in demand when it comes to construction, especially for small jobs and in an area like this one. Burgess, Inman, and Burton, the newest member of the DCI group, and isn't he proud to be so. LOL. Well, they met up with Louis and Charlie to give them an update and some information. While they provided what they could on the background for Thomas Englert, and his alias. Some on Uncle Vernon and some of his nefarious contacts and actions; as well as a little on Graham and the death of Aunt Daphane. Now, some things have to remail private but others can be shared and they do so. Louis and Charlie realize they may never know all of what this was about, but they at least know they have been kept in the loop as much as possible. They got some background and hints of a few more things but will have to just be satisfied with what they know. And they seem to be okay with that. No idea where the artefact is yet, but I think we will see that solved at some point, will they share that information with the authorities? We will see. Wonderful chapter.
  21. Interesting short about a night/weekend away between two men, obviously friends for many years, and their sons who are also friends. Really well written and striking a good balance and flow to the story. Well done.
  22. So far, they move forward away from Septimus, but he gains with each step. Separating was perfect, as each pairing or trio was able to dodge those in chase. Glad that the Warlock and Carel were able to get away as well; but do hope the kitchen lad isn't forgotten, as I am sure the traitor will not forget how close he and Carel were becoming and he will be suspect
  23. As someone born on March 17th, with dark auburn hair when I was born; I have always felt at least partially honorary Irish. Of course, what little hair is left is whiter with a hint of pale red now but still. Never understood the getting drunk, even when young and dumb, but always did enjoy watching those that did. Got a Celtic knot given to me very young with green jade and have used it as my green for many decades. My Friday the 13th was spent at work as well, nothing untold occurred. Can't wait for the Poetry Anthology to publish. Hope everyone has a great week...

    Chapter 28

    If that is true, then kill him now. Any child with his ability will eventually use it capriciously.
  25. Oh lord, I can tell I am going to be so lost...
