This was amazing. Love how Brian finallly has a father that loves him unconditionally. I am so happy Emmett and James are finally married and that Ronni and Dante have as well. 

Looking forward to the next installment in this series.

I am so glad you enjoyed it.  I think you will enjoy a Son's Admiration.  There will be a spinoff series in the future called Legacy.

Wow, what an ending.  Can't wait for the continuation of this and tossing Lindsay out.  There is no way she's taking Gus from them.

How nice to have the whole family together.

Nice to see some new additions to the family.  Can't wait to find how who set off the alarm.  Hope Molly got through to her dad, but I doubt it.

Such a wonderful chapter. I loved how happy Gus was with Kevin and seeing Brian's face watching them interact. The girls are so sweet together and a great addition to the family. I do think the house will be harder on Brian then he thinks but Justin will get him through it. I think they will find some surprises.?

I swear every time I read more of this story this family gets deeper and deeper into my heart. I love how Nat is getting looked after and loved through her operation. The new additions to the family the nanny and housekeeper and her daughter are wonderful. I hope the daughter settles in soon. I loved Brian showing off his photos like a proud dad that made me smile so much. Fantastic work as always x

That was such a romantic time for Brian and Justin they truly needed that time together. I'm so happy Nats night went so well and I'm sure she will shine more and more. I hope Tom decided what he is going to do soon so everyone is not hanging on by a shoe string waiting to hear. That Craig 🤬 he better feck off . Fantastic work 

Gosh I was nervous for them going to see Craig. I'm glad Brian got there first and said what he said. Justin and Molly handled it so perfectly. I was so very proud of them. He is a nasty piece of work. I honestly can't wait for more. Fantastic work as always x

Sometimes things just don't go the way one would want it to.  With everything Justin and Brian have been through, you'd think they'd be more compassionate with one another.

This was a fantastic chapter Gus was a little ray of sunshine wasn't it. So caring and so excited about starting school. I understood Justin's nervousness about seeing his dad and Brian's worry. I think I would be the very same way. I'm looking forward to seeing how this gets played out. 

I have to admit that I’ve really come to dislike Tom and the relationship between him and Nate because Tom is trying to have his cake and eat it too as the saying goes. Tom is a Catholic priest and priests are supposed to be celibate regardless if they’re heterosexual or homosexual. If Tom wants to be the priest he committed to being when he took his vows he should not be having sex and if he wants to have sex he should leave the priesthood.
What’s also puzzling me is that pretty much everyone in the family who knows about the sexual relationship between Tom and Nate is okay with it.
When Father Kevin says “No, when I made my vows to the big guy I committed. I don’t hold it against any priest that has relationships. It’s not for everyone.� it may be supposed to come off as tolerant but to me it just comes off as wishy washy. Replace the words ‘big guy’ and ‘priest’ with ‘husband’ or ‘wife’ and see how it reads as if Kevin is okay with anyone in a committed relationship having extra marital affairs. Whether one has committed to God or a human spouse having extra marita relationships do matter and, unless the couple is in an open relationship, is not okay! Would Nate be having a sexual relationship with Tom if he was married to a human spouse? I would like to think that Nate would know better than to do that so it puzzles me that he’s okay with having a relationship with Tom who’s in a relationship that’s as sacred as marriage just not to a person. So even though I have a feeling that Tom and Nathan/Natalia will end up together, even if Tom leaves the priesthood/church, I’m just over this relationship.

You may want to quit reading my stories since you obviously don't enjoy them.  You have pointed out, very politely and with no disrespect to me, that you don't like most of what I write.  Maybe you need to find an author who writes more to your tastes.  I don't mean this to sound snippy.  I just don't know why you would read something you don't enjoy.  And if you do keep reading my work, I hope you find something you enjoy about it.

It's amazing how well Anna Claire took to meeting Kevin again.  Kevin seems to become friends with everyone he meets.  Brian is going to miss him.  In fact everyone who has met him will miss him.

It's amazing how you intertwine the new characters with the old.  I'm sure Ted will be there for Emmett but will Mikey?

Oh my.  They haven't told Tom about Natalia have they.

Tom and Nate are doing well together.

So much going on.  Justin and Tom looking for Brian's father.  Tom and Nate?  Gus and Aaron have so many people who care for them.  

Author's Response:

They are lucky kids.  They will never wonder if they are loved.

You know how reach off the page and grab a persons heart don't you. I had so many awe moments reading this. I love how Brian was with Nate he knew what to say. Justin I think maybe get a bit broody and if they ever add to the family it will be blessed. Gus made me smile with his care for everyone and making that painting. I can't wait for their trip to Atlanta. 

Wow where Em and James are on Honeymoon looks breathtaking and so peaceful. My heart is so happy for Brian he now has the dad meant for him. I love how well they are getting on it's a beautiful thing to watch. Kevin is so great in how he wants to help Nate as well I think it's what he needs and Tom as well to have that ear to speak to I'm sure helps. I loved everything about this chapter. I cannot wait for more. 

Gus seriously stole the show here. He has so much love in him and sharing that with others is like his life's mission. Kevin is perfect and I wish his girls were there with him so everyone could meet them. I love that Brian called Kevin dad, that really melted my heart. As for the wicked witches I've no words, they make me so angry. They better not take Gus. You did an incredible job with this chapter x

Yay Kevin and Brian United in slaying the dragon bitch. Emmett and Brian getting their daddies back

Author's Response:

Glad you could see my vision.  And both fathers feel remorse for their own faults.  Both sons have enough love to accept them as they are.

I want to clap so loud and cheer at the same time at how Brian handled that phone call. Those girls don't deserve Gus.Brian going to see Bennet was so perfect as he was in a similar situation and knows what it's like. I do hope and pray he comes to the wedding. I have a feeling that Nate and Tom are truly falling in love no matter what they say and as for Nates revelation I think everyone will support him all the way. Fantastic work x

I was giddy with happiness reading this. Kevin is awesome and I think he will be a blessing for Brian and the family. It's just what he needs after the horror that was Jack. plus the girls who Kevin helped are amazing. I hope now as well for Emmet that his dad comes to his wedding my heart aches for him. You did an incredible job with this chapter. 

Another fantastic chapter and filled with emotions. I love Justin and Tom teaming up like that to track down Kevin. It's hard and rocky road but they are not giving up for Brian. That shows true love right there. I feel for Brian being stuck in the city and now that snow is not going to help. Plus now I hope for Em that his dad and family show up for the wedding he needs that more than he even truly knows. Fantastic work as always x

That was so moving. I'm so glad it went well for Em I was worried for him. Nate seems so nice and I awe of what he is seeing and experiencing so far. Lol Brian's jealous head out already. This is gonna be  good . Brilliant work x

What a nice chapter.  Enid's passing was easier knowing that Em was aware of how she felt.  

Seems to me that Emmett and Brian have more in common than they knew. Is Katie taking lessons from Claire? Glad Em got to see his mama and sit with her. James was right about times changing.

Don't know and can't imagine how Emmett's father is going to react with not only Em being there but also James, Brian, Justin invading the South. Let's hope he has changed too.

A very interesting and original plot - well done.

This was terrific! I am looking forward to the next verse to this series.

Author's Response:

Glad you enjoyed it!  I am planning on at least one more in that series.  The next (and maybe last) will be A Father's Regret.

Oh Joan good on you

What a full chapter and a brilliant one at that. I could feel all the emotions that ran through that house. My heart was going hammer and tongs. It was great seeing Tracey smile with Mark she needs a good man in her life. I won't give it away but my 💞 for certain people. I love Gus that boys heart is pure gold I swear he never gives up trying to break the armour that surrounds Joans heart. Man oh man this was fantastic. 

Oh dear Tracy being in a DV relationship is so dangerous and now we can see the danger.

Another cliff hanger!  You've found a way to keep our attention.  Great chapter.

Author's Response:

This story just seems to lend itself to the cliffhanger. 

I love how together Brian and Justin are and you can see the strong bond Brian has by the way he is looking after him. That doctor I would have kicked his ass out of the room and reported him. Thank goodness his actual doctor is lovely. My heart broke for James thinking Brian hated  him and Gus on how worried and upset he was. Thank goodness Justin got out and home to be with his family. I can't wait for more. Fantastic work as always x

Wonderful chapter.  Can't wait to see how Thanksgiving goes.

Poor Gus.  It's a good thing Justin didn't take him up to the studio.  Just when things are going good, Len tries to do away with Justin.  You've given us some cliff hanger here so we'll want more.  It's working.

Argh I don’t like Len either

Love how Tom couldn't deal with Joanie either.  She's a piece of work.  Len is trouble.  He's going to end up in jail is my guess.  So Brian is a Taylor, does that make them Taylor-Taylor?

#1.  Justin do not let Len alone with James.

#2.  Can Joan be shown the damage she did to her children by being a selfish bitch?

Author's Response:

James is not the one that you have to worry about.

Author's Response:

James is not the one that you have to worry about.

Holy shit, what a chapter. First off I wanna take that Tracey down so badly she is trouble. I think Ronni will rip her to shreds if she does anything. As for Claire grrrr just like her mother. I feel for Peter. I think he would do well without his mother and to be with his uncle. Then you go and leave us with that ending of this chapter 😱. Fantastic work x

Wait until Father Tom finds out that Joanie had a child by someone not her husband.  She has a lot of nerve talking about Claire's boyfriend the way she did.  Can't wait to find out more about Joan's sister.

Really good chapter as we learn more about Joanie's past.

Author's Response:

Need to keep up the mystery.

I hope Joanie is sitting all alone wishing she'd been invited to the party and knowing why she wasn't.

what made that woman thd way she is? some people are just happy that way. cant believe ronni was pushing for justin to let joan come., but now seeing what joan is like. eagerly awaiting another chapter. 

 

 

Author's Response:

Some people just don't know how to be happy but I think we will be exploring a little of what caused her to be this way.

I hope Brian can keep his Justin armour on facing the crone and his ghastly sister

Author's Response:

Brian will eventually realize he has the family he needs.

I can't blame Brian's reaction I would have blown up as well. I also can feel the pressure poor Justin is under. Joan is temperamental. I can't wait to see where this goes. Brilliant work x

Looks like Joanie will be moving in.  I can just see Ronnie telling her off.  This is going to be fun.

This was a terrific story. I am so glad Justin finally has the family he always wanted. Also I am glad Emmett finally found love with James. I am happy Craig will be locked up and maybe one day will accept what he did to Justin was not in his best interest but his.

This was a great ending to a great story!!   I was very impressed by Chris.   I think he was truly sorry for what he did to Justin, and I think it was great that he and Justin shook hands and even hugged.   I think they both got the closure they needed.

Author's Response:

Glad you enjoyed it.  A Mother's Hate will come out later.

 

Fantastic work. My heart went out to both Justin and Brian. The surgery and watching to watch someone you love go through that. All that worry and everything that goes with it when it comes to the court sessions are not easy and I think they handled it so perfectly. They didn't let Criag have any power whatsoever. It all blew me away. Ronni she really is growing stronger isn't she. Loved this x

Another amazing chapter. What Brian said to Ronni was perfect and it truly came from his heart. Then that ceremony was so moving and Gus made me chuckle lol. I hope Ronni comes more around to Em and James because they were beautiful together. Aaron was a little cutie pie he is a blessing to the family and Gus is gonna be a wonderful big brother. I can't wait for more. 

How great that Justin is back from the dead and has Brian plus two sons.  No life can't get any better.

Never a dull moment with them is there. Brian is so romantic with those rings such a beautiful gift he created. Ronni seems to be settling a bit which is a very good thing as I think this family is perfect for her. And now The baby what a gift to get before a special day. Such brilliant work x

I'm still on the fence about Ronni staying.   Everyone including James, Justin, Brian and Justin has said something to her about her comments.   And while she is not outright homophobic, she is very opinionated, and has no trouble saying whatever comes into her head.   I just don't think she should be in a house full of gay men.    

Author's Response:

Give her a chance.  She will come around soon. She will always be opinionated but in a loving way.

 

That was so romantic, the wedding was perfect for them their two hearts joining as one. I think when Em finds out he will go into party mode with overkill lol. James's mother is a very interesting lady you can tell she has love in her heart I just hope for James's sake she comes around to accepting he only wants to be with men. 

 

This was brilliant x

Love the new addition to this story.  Can't wait to find out what Emmett needs to talk to them about.

Author's Response:

I am loving this combination of charactors.  It is fun writing them.

Craig got caught but the troubles to the Taylor clan still go on.

Seeing him now in custody is great hopefully the judge will throw the book at him once he gets to trial. He must be all kinds of stupid saying things to Brian in front of a guard. I hope Brian agrees to Justin adopting his brother because that child couldn't go to a better home. Mel actually said some nice things about Brian, that was huge right lol. So much fantastic things in this chapter if I kept saying everything about each of them I'd be here for a long time. Brilliant work x

Poor Justin he is going to feel so much stress for another bit with his dads arrest coming up. Now finding out the truth about the baby as well. He won't want that baby to go anywhere will he. Dani that poor girl needs a lot of love and support and she will find it those boys. It's great to see all the family band together. I feel for Molly she is so young and shouldn't have to deal with this no one should. This was another amazing chapter x

I feel for Molly she is so young and her emotions are everywhere. It must be so hard for her. Justin is really coming so far with Dani's therapy but his emotional side will take time I'm sure. Brian oh Brian was that the right thing to do. I love how he wants to protect Justin and Molly snd Jen . This is such a fantastic story x
