C'est vrai!

I didn't expect Kage to be fooled so easily by the traitor. Nor could I help worrying that the traitor could assume the body image of Kage and thus fool Elijah.... Was the traitor able to fool Kage's handler, or did he know or direct Kage into the situation? Is Kage really dead or was the drug used just to simulate death? Is Elijah now going to be entrapped or will he have time to enlist help from the pack? The possiblities are endless and while I haven't taken time to read most of the comments, I suspect others have come up with even more possibilites.. Sorry-ish seems a bit of a stretch as I remain incredulous.

After reading all the comments about number 99 in the chapter comments of Kbois story, I had to read this story. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Loren is the type of guy I could never write. Too cool, too conflicted and way too complicated. Jay is a golden boy and way too patient. Good thing it all worked out in the end.

Not what I expected or wanted.

CONGRATS!

Cam showed but no Cody? Billy Bob's lack of endowment was funny. I wonder how long Will plays clueless about Cam and if or when he let's him in on who he is? JJ is just the sort of guy who would be taken advantage of by a scheming gold digger. Too bad he hasn't learned from his past relationships or lack thereof. But then he likes drama! More please!

I found this to be incredibly sad despite Brion's ability to overcome adversity. I stopped reading the opening several times before I could plow through and see where it was going. Knowing the title and our author I could immediately see where this was going and it was not my happy place... That Brion made multiple attempts at suicide did not surprise me but added to the sadness. That despite the pain, frustration, maddeningly slow progress and herculean effort he was able to move forward and regain some function demonstrated his determination. I think the introduction to Brion was well written but a bit brief. Thankfully so, as it was sad enough.

Kage's decision do the hit at the office rather than the house failed to provide any real analysis of the pros and cons of each, so some expectation that things go sideways is predictable. I'm even more nervous for them now....

Ray is the best. Rusty sang! Maddox listened. Jonathan fled. Waiting is the hardest😧😧

Bottom line, to get noticed, you gotta put yourself out there. Anthology submissions can help. And if at first you don't succeed, try, try again! But true!

Not my favorite chapter. Sometimes the truth hurts and this was one of those times. Even in the real world, love is not enough more often than expected. The divorce rate proves the point. Ordering Kage to use Elijah on his mission to San Francisco indicates the boss thinks Kage needs the help. Another indication of just how dangerous the mission could be. Oh my, stormy weather ahead!

Will is certainly getting a masters class in business between Stef and his dad. Being protective of family loyalty however seems second nature to him. I was hoping the party was covered today.

That Elijah was able to squeeze out a partial victory is clear evidence Kage is not fully in control of his feelings. The earlier suspicion that the target took out at least one of the guys supposed to eliminate him along with the extra warning Kage's boss gave him, remains pertinent. Tyler and his father are good people and better friends to have in Elijah's corner. I think the next chapter could bring some peril... P.S. The girly scream in the shower scene was fun!

I can't agree that George has never been interested in self aggrandizement, but he has been good about taking care of his men. After all, there is a bit of competition with his brothers! Mentoring is something George learned way back when he first started and he was mentored. He has always made a point of learning and passing that skill on, so this latest episode is entirely within character. Speculation about the baths and Anson seem well founded and I hope our esteemed author gives a full accounting! I certainly look forward to it.

I read the anthologies as a way to evaluate authors I haven't read before and to see what he authors I have read are doing with the theme. Since deadlines are my nemesis, I haven't submitted a story to anthologies, but I certainly appreciate the concept and the results. As a fulltime grandpa and husband, I don't have much time to write, but I refuse to give up reading and commenting!

Maddox is upset with his parents because they couldn't believe him, even after he tried to explain. What's disappointing about Maddox, is that he didn't believe either Jonathan or Rusty without giving them a chance to explain. I guess the apple really doesn't fall to far from the tree. Jonathan and Rusty didn't lie to Maddox. They were not upfront about their weekend which has come back to bite them in the ass, but Rusty had his reasons and so did Jonathan. Their reasons were never explained to Maddox because he was in no mood to be a true friend. An intervention by Ray, Dex and Kane seems to be the best solution, but I suspect our author will drag things out before making this happen. She seems to take a perverse delight in making her characters suffer needlessly....

Maddox really is disappointing. @Wesl8890 is exactly right! @Wesley8890

Stories about werewolves, shapeshifters etc are not usually ones that get my attention, but I got sucked into this one and am enjoying the ride!

The big news is that Kage is in the beginning stages of realizing that Elijah means more to him than life itself. That is a forebodding thought and seeing how our author works could be a sad outcome... The new job is going to take some planning and while others have speculated that Kage is not the first one to be given the assignment, I think that is a valid suspicion. Sending Elijah to Montanna would seem to be a good idea while Kage is involved in completing the demise of Kasar Huntington. But would he go? I suspect the next post on Saturday will leave more questions than answers....

Will is certainly correct. He could never work for his father. Stef is open to the idea there needs to be some changes at the foundation. Jake and Brad may just work it out and become a real couple. And poor Will still has Zach looming in the background and unsure about whether their relationship is.... More please!

Burn, peel, burn again as a child. Coppertone didn't provide any protection and was about the only suntan lotion around in the fifties and sixties. Parent's used to put zinc oxide cream on children's noses and top of the ears to prevent the worst blistering. I usually try to stay out of the sun. When I do yard work I wear a long sleeve white shirt over a white tee shirt, long pants and a big floppy hat.

Our foibles are what makes us individuals. Perfection is usually boring.

The camping trip was fun and the beach scene was remarkably written. Others have mentioned E's internal dialogue including the baby shark ear worm as being exceptionally humorous and I can only concur. Passion is usually portrayed as hot, sweaty, fast and explosive. This was slow, sensual, titillating and edgy with more than a bit of fun until it became a runaway train...Yeah, I liked it a lot. The two acting like the property brothers or an HGTV knock off for more than a month seems a little strange. I'd think they'd be obsessing about the laptop and going back over everything and exploring every possibility. It did almost get E killed after all.... Still, I suspect drama to occur in the next chapter with a really surprising cliff hanger at the end of it.

I find myself viewing and reading onsite with my tablet much more often with my tablet vs my desktop over the past five years.
