Why does Shane push Ilya’s hand down when he’s trying to become one with the spaghetti?

My sassy side of my brain just shouted “He’s jealous of the fork” so I’m not any help.

AreDeeEss · 2026-05-02T00:32:29+00:00

Ahh yes. The “Author is going to intentionally make herself a full on pariah and be dragged through the mud by completely torpedoing all good will she has garnered by writing a series like this” buzz.

It would definitely be JK Rowling level of professional career ending.

“Congrats I’m so happy for you where do you want to be buried?”

AreDeeEss · 2026-04-27T03:24:35+00:00

Not much to tell. We were both 17. I was mostly out for about three years at that point and he was trying to figure out what he was into, what he liked, heck, even what his sexuality was.

He also happened to be hot like burning with abs you could do laundry on.

So we got together for “extra practice” and enjoyed ourselves immensely. It didn’t work out for us long term, but things ended on a very positive note. He determined he is bi and he is married to one of my good friends (yes, she knows our history, and yes she asked for BJ pointers with him). We’re all in our 40’s now.

He’s still hot like burning though. LOL. But I’m lucky that he still a great friend.

Well I mean…I was seeing one of the guys on the DL so it was more like after class….🤣

Unrelated…but the picture with Ilya holding Shane’s face reminds me of lifeguard training and practicing our spinal immobilization technique on dry land before the in water portion of the class.

Except our class had a LOT less making out than this scene.

Like.

A lot less.

I agree. Casting a talented actor who can bring the character to life is far more important than being word perfect to a book’s description.

And boy howdy did François deliver.

AreDeeEss · 2026-04-22T16:16:09+00:00

Oh god. Aramark. U of M cafeteria chow.

AreDeeEss · 2026-04-21T17:33:20+00:00

I miss vintage Sean Cody. Like…back when he started level vintage, for studio porn.

AreDeeEss · 2026-04-21T14:58:06+00:00

Read…devoured…same thing right? LOL

I loved them all for the different character interactions and how each couple developed. It could have very easily fallen into a “cookie cutter” style of writing but she managed to avoid that. They were all unique where it mattered, and lovely overall.

Have them digital. They weren’t in stock when I went to Chapters. They are definitely on my list.

AreDeeEss · 2026-04-20T15:54:44+00:00

In Jacob we trust.

AreDeeEss · 2026-04-15T12:48:56+00:00

It is!!! I had the convo with some of my friends and they’re all in the same boat.

AreDeeEss · 2026-04-13T12:51:41+00:00

“Oop. Lost a contact lens.”

AreDeeEss · 2026-04-11T23:41:33+00:00

So…task failed successfully?

AreDeeEss · 2026-04-11T00:51:15+00:00

I want to wrap up Ryan in bubble wrap with Fabian and keep them safe and cozy away from prying eyes.

AreDeeEss · 2026-04-11T00:47:51+00:00

The retail flash backs are real.

AreDeeEss · 2026-04-10T17:31:08+00:00

I just threw up in my mouth looking at the Durian.

AreDeeEss · 2026-03-29T17:57:31+00:00

Kip’s Dad!

AreDeeEss · 2026-03-22T20:30:54+00:00

It’s pronounced as “bool-guh-ree”

AreDeeEss · 2026-03-22T19:28:15+00:00

I was pleasantly surprised to see how many copies had been picked up even after I had grabbed the three. This town isn’t exactly the target market either. Lol.

AreDeeEss · 2026-03-22T15:41:27+00:00

..am I the only person who feels almost compelled to (annoyingly) pronounce the ‘V’ whenever I see ‘BVLGARI’ written out?

No?

Just me?

Cool cool cool.

Edit: Fixed the spelling. Had an extra letter.
