Great story!
I kind of cheated - went and read all of it before comment here :(
but you know me :)
What surprise me was that I actually liked Claire here :)
Anyway, it was perfect New Year gift for me!


I wish you a wonderful year, Kim, happiness, sunshine and many new stories!



Author's Response:

Thank you for reading and for the comments, Arakiss! I am happy that you liked it. It's a challenge keeping Brian IC here, but I'm trying to do that as much as possible, considering the circumstances. And thank you for all the support of my stories. I really appreciate that. ~Kim

well - that was just sweet - and hot - and fun - and I loved it!

now - let's see what happens in the light of day - hopefully Brian will be able to accept who he is - and the sweetness can continue?!?!?

Author's Response:

Hi, Charle! Good way of putting it - light of day.  That time when you begin to question what you've done the night before; much like Brian.  There will definitely be some hesitation and confusion on his part coming up.  I hope you continue to enjoy this one. Thanks for all the support and especially for commenting!  Next part will be up today. ~Kim

Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: January 11, 2016 04:07 AM · On: Lesson No. 2

Oh no Brian...don't hide now.

Author's Response:

Hi, Tamara!  Poor Brian...so attracted to Justin and scared shitless at the same time!  They're about to be some angst introduced here coming up, but hopefully they can resolve any issues that arise.

Thanks for all the support and encouragement! Next part's coming up sometime today. Hope you have a good week, my friend. ~Kim

Reviewer: CFC (Anonymous) · Date: January 11, 2016 02:33 AM · On: Lesson No. 2

Lovely PWP. And then Brian's second guessing in the am. But, I noticed, no rejection of what happened. And he said they would meet the next morning. I am enjoying this story, can't wait to see the next chapter.

Author's Response:

I'm so glad you're continuing to enjoy the story! Thanks for letting me know.;)  As for 'no rejection,' well...I wouldn't call it rejection coming up, but there WILL be some rocky times to come yet before it's all said and done.;)  I hope you hang in there with me, though, for the end.;) Brian still has some sorting out to do about his feelings here.

Thanks for reading, and especially for the feedback! It is much appreciated. The next part is coming up today. ~Kim

Reviewer: Toto_too514 (Anonymous) · Date: January 11, 2016 01:43 AM · On: Lesson No. 2

I saw chapter 4 posted the other day and was just coming to read that when I saw Chpater 5! Bonus!

Things certainly have move quickly with these two! It's a bit weird to see Justin as the experienced teacher and Brian as the pupil, even with the same age difference as we're used to in the show. 

Great update!



Author's Response:

Hi, Trish! Thanks for continuing to read!  Yes, I can see your point about that.  Hopefully it's not TOO unbelievable.  Brian's not sexually inexperiened by any means, but I think he's kind of been so accustomed to thinking along the same traditional/hetero lines (with his sister's matchmaking help) into thinking that's the way he should be that until Justin came along he really didn't think much about it.  Hopefully I'm still managing to keep him pretty much IC despite that.

I hope you enjoy the rest. I will try to get the next part up shortly, but it will definitely be sometime today. Thanks again for all the support, my friend. ~Kim

Reviewer: Therese (Anonymous) · Date: January 11, 2016 01:27 AM · On: Lesson No. 2

'wwwooowww' to you too!



Author's Response:

Hi, Therese! Thank you for continuing to read and comment!  Brian's still not quite sure what to make of this strong depth of attraction for another man.  He's still on a journey of discovery here, so there're some bumps left in the road. I do hope you continue to enjoy it.  I may get the next part up before I leave for work today (hopefully).  If not, it will definitely be posted sometime later today. Thanks again for all the support! ~Kim

The tension is burning up! Enjoying this immensely Kim :)

Author's Response:

Ahh...me, too!  Can you imagine having this sort of 'pupil' to teach?  Yowsa!  I will have the next part up today - may be a few hours yet, though. Thank you for reading, and for the feedback!  ~Kim

Great hot, hot, hot chapter. Not fair where it ended though. Good thing tomorrow isn't that far away...LOL Can't wait.

Author's Response:

Hi, Monica!  I know - horrid spot to stop! But at least you know there will be more today - let's just say they're not done yet (wink, wink).  It may be a few hours yet, but I definitely will be posting the next part sometime today. Thanks for continuing to read, and for the feedback! It is most appreciated. ~Kim

Reviewer: femmegirl49 (Signed) · Date: January 10, 2016 07:43 AM · On: Teach Me

Oh Kim.  Justin in the driver's seat is extremely hot here.  I was wondering how long it would take Brian to figure things out and be brave and it was quicker than I thought.  I am so glad because this was so great.  Sweet, hot, sexy and adorable all at once.  Poor Brian, having to wait until age 40 to figure things out!!!  I am SO enjoying this.  Can't wait unti tomorrow.

 

Terri



Author's Response:

Hi, Terri!  I'm glad (as well as relieved) that you didn't feel it was rushed; thanks for letting me know.;)  And yes, more to come today (wink, wink).  It will probably be a little later in the day, though, since I have something to do this morning, but I'll definitely get it posted sometime today. :)

Thanks for continuing to read, and especially for the comments! It is so encouraging to me. ~Kim

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: January 10, 2016 05:07 AM · On: Teach Me

Gosh, you really went all out.  Very realistic in MHO.  The next chapter should be a doozy.



Author's Response:

Hi, my dear!  I'm glad you thought it was realistic. I definitely didn't want it to feel rushed, but after the furtive glances and more-or-less flirting going on over dinner, I thought it would not be out of the question for it to progress this way.;)  And yes, let's just say they're not done yet (wink, wink).  Things are about to take a bit of a roller coaster ride here!  Thank you for continuing to read and review.  I really do appreciate it. ~Kim

Reviewer: CFC (Anonymous) · Date: January 10, 2016 02:28 AM · On: Teach Me

Cruel, cruel Predec2! That was mean leaving us on a cliffie! Especially with your categories.

Seriously, great handling of a delicate situation. Not canon of course, but very believable.

Now I have to go goggle Kinky Boots to see what it is.

Author's Response:

Hi, my friend! Yes, I know (hiding under desk). But hopefully tomorrow's update will make up for it. (wink, wink).  I know it's a complicated balance, keeping Brian as much IC  here as I can, but with the plot there's got to be some growing/learning involved, as well as a journal of disovery, for our normally self-assured man.  I hope I can keep him believable for the remainder of the story.  I'm glad that you still enjoyed this chapter.

Thanks for reading, and for the comments.  I will have the next part up tomorrow.;)  ~Kim

P.S.  Kinky Boots is basically a play about accepting people for who they are; not what we want them to be. it's a musical with a lot of dancing and singing, and the guy who played Lola in this tour was powerful.  His solo literally brought tears to my eyes; it was so powerful.  Great play.

Reviewer: Oliviatheolive (Signed) · Date: January 10, 2016 01:49 AM · On: Teach Me

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!  AHAHAHAHAMAZING! Last chapter was all cute and adorable! and then this chapter was all sexy and steamy and yummy. PERFECT! Justin is amazingly patient and understanding. I love Justin in this story, and how considerate he is of Brian's on feelings. Can't wait to read the next chapter.

 

Olivia



Author's Response:

Hi, Olivia!  I'm so happy (and relieved in a way) that you liked this chapter.  I know Brian is normally such a dominant person - and in some ways he still he is here - but to keep him true to this story, he needs to be a bit more on the restrained side, so not sure how everyone will react to this.  Next chapter, too.  But it is a progression - and Brian is still learning here. He knows what he wants - and WHO he wants now - but he needs a little coaching by a certain blond first.;) 

So glad you liked this update!  Will have the next part up tomorrow.  Things won't be all smooth sailing between them just yet (have to throw just a bit of angst in there to keep it interesting, but you know how I like to make them happy eventually).

Thank you for continuing to read and review! I appreciate that so much. ~Kim

'You can't make someone change their sexual orientation just by cooking them some linguini!"

LOL. That was my favorite line.

I find myself checking the site periodically for a update. I started reading the first chapter thinking it sounded familiar and realized I had watched the beginning of the movie this was based on (What Happens Next) but never was inclined to finish it until reading your fic. I like what you've done with it.

:)

Author's Response:

Hi, Sandra! So good to see you reading this one.;)  It was a good film, and my beta actually persuaded me to adapt it to B and J.  It's hard to keep Brian IC in this story as a result, but hopefully I won't let him stray too far away.;)  I hope you enjoy the rest of the story; the next chapter's coming up.  Thanks for reading, and for the comments!  ~Kim

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: January 09, 2016 08:35 PM · On: A Little Conversation and a Little Learning

I feel bad that Mrs Kinney didn't get to go and see her friend.  Maybe the dogs will get "together" before Justin and Brian.  I wonder if Brian will run scared now and not show up in the park for a couple days.  Great story, as always.  Bill



Author's Response:

Hi, Bill!  Not to worry; they will see each other again (the dogs, I mean - ha!).  You're about to find out when they meet up again, and it might just surprise you.  The next part's coming up shortly. Thanks again for reading, and for your support. It is always greatly appreciated.  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Hi, Marian!  I'm happy that you're reading this one; thank you for letting me know, and for the comments. I still think of our tour of Amsterdam - and meeting you - very fondly.  Perhaps one day we can meet up again.  Regardless, I will always consider you a dear friend. Thank YOU for the support. I'll have the next part up shortly.  ~Kim

Reviewer: The Lantern keeps Shining (Anonymous) · Date: January 09, 2016 05:08 PM · On: Meet Mrs. Kinney

'Met any interesting guys yet?'' Where do you you find them?'

For whom is Brian asking?

It's funny how a person can be oblivious to attraction of another when it's staring them in the face so to speak. All the signs are there.

How funny! 'Mrs Kinney'' to  annoy his well meaning sister. Well it certainly did.



Author's Response:

Hi, there! I'm delighted to see you reading this one.;) Poor Brian - experienced in the world of hetero sex, but he has no clue what he's doing, other than he knows he's attracted to a different sort of blond now.;)  But he's about to get a lesson (wink, wink).  I  hope you enjoy the rest of the story. Thank you for reading, and especially for taking the time to comment.~Kim 

Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: January 09, 2016 05:37 AM · On: It's Just Dinner...Right?

    Thanks for the chapters.  I do need to be a little careful here


as I don’t want to get into trouble with MW and the readers.  I do


have a friend who has a French Bulldog with enormous ears. 


Each time I meet my friend with his dog, I start out with the usual


comment, “that can’t be a dog.”  His reply is simply a bunch of


curse words. 


   I also have a friend who has a Pug.  Each time I go into his


apartment and see the dog sort of bent sideways sleeping and


sure enough snorting repeatedly, I always say “oink, oink.”   Of


course my friend’s reply is also mostly curse words.


   Before I get into trouble with MW Admin and before Justin 


pops out of my screen and recites a PSA about those two breads,


I do admit that my friends love their dogs and the reverse, the


dogs love their owners.  But I couldn’t help but laugh when Brian


called Justin’s dog a piglet.  That is exactly the way I see it.


   Anyway, thanks for the story.  I do enjoy reading it.


DavidR



Author's Response:

Hi, David!  I'm always delighted to hear from you, and I had to smile at your comments.  I think French bulldogs are so cute, although I've never owned one of that breed. But I AM a huge dog lover.  Maybe that's why I like having them featured in a lot of my stories.  Low maintenance, and I don't have to walk them in RL - LOL!  Quite a coincidence that you have friends with both kinds of dogs.  Pugs have that really strong, curly-Q sort of tail that is so unique, and that snorting sound!  I grew up with a best friend across the street whose family would only have pugs. They're cute, but I'm sort of a lab or golden retriever sort of gal.;)

Thanks for reading so far, and for taking the time to comment! I truly appreciate that.;)  The next part's coming up this morning, and let's just say that things are about to heat up a bit.;)  I hope you continue to enjoy it!  ~Kim

Reviewer: tiger062 (Signed) · Date: January 09, 2016 03:32 AM · On: A Little Conversation and a Little Learning

Love this - Brian is like a flower - slowly opening up to face the sun - and sun in Justin. (Oh that was corny - even for me....LOL) It's nice to see Brian and Justin building a friendship first - it's a good base for a long lasting relationship - of course good old lust is the cherry on top.....

Author's Response:

Hi, Monica!  Ha - that's okay; I kind of liked the analogy!  You may find out the pace is definitely about to pick up here, so if it's not a long courtship/friendship, I still hope you like the direction it takes in the next chapter. It certainly won't be all smooth sailing for these two; that much I can reveal.;)  '

Thank you for continuing to read, and especially for taking the time to comment. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story!  ~Kim

Reviewer: Toto_too514 (Anonymous) · Date: January 09, 2016 03:14 AM · On: A Little Conversation and a Little Learning

Happy to be able to read the next installment!

Kinda hard to imagine Brian as a shy, insecure 40 year old virgin! Hopefully Justin will remedy that soon!



Author's Response:

Hi, Trish! Well, he would only be considered that when it comes to Justin; I'm sure he's had his share of hetero sex up until now, but this is definitely new territory for him.  And I'm not sure I see him as shy for the most part; hesitant and unsure about what he is feeling for Justin, but definitely able to speak his mind in other cases.  At any rate, I hope you enjoy the story. Thanks for reading and for the comments. ~Kim

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: January 09, 2016 01:11 AM · On: It's Just Dinner...Right?

"Just dinner"???  Something tells me there will be more than that.  Hope Mrs Kinney gets to go and spend time with Reggie.  Bill



Author's Response:

You just may be onto something there.;)  We'll all find out tomorrow morning (wink, wink). Thanks for reading, Bill. ~Kim

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: January 09, 2016 01:01 AM · On: Meet Mrs. Kinney

Great beginning.  I don't usually like AU but this is a really interesting premise.  Can't wait to see where you go with it.  You are breaking records with your fast updates!!  Bill



Author's Response:

Hi, Bill!  Well, it's funny how everyone's interpretation of AU differs, but I'm assuming you mean b/c Brian is portrayed here as straight (or at least he's deluded into thinking that - ha!).  But I'm glad you're going to give it a try.  And while I wish I could be this speedy with ALL my stories (i.e., my two WIPs), it's only because I had it completely done before I started posting it. I'm going to try my best going forward after I finish my two WIPS to finish any new multi-chapter stories first, or at least have most of it done.  I just feel too bad when I can't update them regularly like you are so good at doing with your own story.;)  And, of course, out of courtesy to the other writers, I won't post more than one chapter a day of this story until it's completely finished.

Thanks for trying this one out! I hope you continue to enjoy it. And BTW, thanks, too, for your kind words about the site, and for the support. As Bob said, we are very lucky to have you as a writer on here. :)  ~Kim

I haven't even read the 3rd chapter yet, just wanted to drop by to say how hard it is to know you'll be updating daily and getting those updates in Finland in the evening! A part of me wants to save a few chapters but let's be honest, ain't gonna happen! Way too delicious!!! Come on, Brian, you won't be able to resist that bottom!



Author's Response:

Hi, there! You're so sweet to let me know how much you are enjoying this story! Thank you for the kind words, and for the support. It will be a relatively short story - at least from my normal ones - ha!  But I do hope you continue to enjoy it.

Thank you for reading, and especially for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate that. ~Kim

Reviewer: CFC (Anonymous) · Date: January 08, 2016 08:37 PM · On: A Little Conversation and a Little Learning

Well, there won't be much to tell Daphne, but 4 hours of conversation is a lot of getting to know you. Can't wait to see what Brian thought of the evening.

Author's Response:

Thank you for continuing to read, and for the comments!  Justin may have more to tell her than everyone knows.;)  More twists coming.;)  I'll have the next part up tomorrow morning. Thanks for the support.  ~Kim

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: January 08, 2016 08:04 PM · On: A Little Conversation and a Little Learning

It's wonderful to see Daphne in this tale.  I have to agree that it seems odd that Brian at 40 would have no clue he might be gay.  Love the dogs, love the dinner.  Just have to wait and see where you go with this.



Author's Response:

I always loved the feistiness of Daphne's character, and how she stood up for Justin on the show.  She will be both a confidant as well as a solace to him coming up. Thank you once more for all the support, not only for me but for so many other writers on here.  I hope you continue to enjoy it.  I think you might see the next part taking a surprise turn.;)  ~Kim

I've never read a story like this one with Brian new to the gay life. Granted, Justin's cute enough to make most straight men think twice when he was younger. You have the start of a very good story here Kimberly.



Author's Response:

Thank you, my friend, for your comments and support. XOXO  ~Kim

It has been ages since I read fan fiction and this one drew my into it. Love your writing style as always, and laughed with your prose at the right places. Most entertaining story so far.

Thanks, Sweetheart!  And I have dogs in this one, too - you should relate to that (secret joke) - ha! XOXO  ~Kim

Look out...somebody's in trouble lol.

Author's Response:

Now why would you think that, Tamara?  Just because a 'straight' man is fixated on a certain part of Justin's anatomy?  Hee, hee....If you think he's in trouble now, wait until you see what happens coming up soon...emphasis on the word 'come' - ha!  Thanks for reading this one!  Part 3 will be posted shortly. ~Kim

Reviewer: Carol (Anonymous) · Date: January 07, 2016 11:10 PM · On: It's Just Dinner...Right?

I m not sure who I love the most .. Brian, Justin or Mrs Kinney. Daily updates put you in the running too :)



Author's Response:

Hi, Carol!  Thank you for reading, and especially for the feedback; that is deeply appreciated. I'm happy that you are enjoying this characterization.  It's hard for me to keep Brian IC in this situation, but hopefully I will keep him as close to the character we know as possible.  I think he can still have doubts about his sexuality and still maintain a lot of the same qualities we all recognize in him.  I'm glad, too, that I can post daily.  I feel terrible about not being able to do that with my two WIPs, but once they are done, I'm going to try hard NOT to post any multi-chaptered ones until they are at least done, or mainly done, so readers don't have to wait so long in between my updates. But I WILL get the other two finished; I am always dedicated to doing that, and have never left one unfinished yet.;)

Thanks again for reading! Part three is coming up shortly.;)  ~Kim

Reviewer: lindc (Anonymous) · Date: January 07, 2016 09:29 PM · On: It's Just Dinner...Right?

just a rereview from last one. The listeners really loved this from beginning to the last word. They liked the differenc Brian ans how he evolved to the Brian they know and love. Hope you are ok. You mentioned being on meds. You take care of yourself you hear. We all are worried and don't forget we love you as you are part of our family/ lol

Author's Response:

Hi, dear friend. ;)  You are very kind to leave feedback on here for this one. I'm glad the 'peeps' enjoyed it.:)  As for the meds, I'm basically healthy physically; mentally, well, I guess that's another issue that would take up much too much space here to fully explain, but I'm doing okay.  I can't tell you what it means, though, to know that you care and are concerned. I so wish one day that we could meet so I could tell you and the others how much your support and encouragement have meant to me.  Some days just hearing that from you and other faithful readers is the only thing that gets me through the stress and insanity of RL, so never think I do not appreciate it. I do beyond words.

I'm working on Lee's favorite right now, BTW, and hope to have that update posted soon. Tell everyone as always how appreciative I am of all of you, and that I send my love. I consider you all family, too. :)  ~Kim

Reviewer: femmegirl49 (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2016 07:38 PM · On: It's Just Dinner...Right?

I like this!!!  I also love that you are posting daily.  I am already looking forward to tomorrow.  This is fun.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much, Terri!  Yes, I know; very unusual for me (unfortunately) to be able to post daily.  But going forward - after my two WIPs are done, both of which are close to completion - I'm going to try to either have all the chapters written, or at least most of them so readers won't have to wait so long in between updates. I feel so bad about that.  I always finish every story I write, but with everything on here as an admin and RL, it's extremely difficult for me to update quickly. So I'm going to try and do better about that moving forward.  I'm glad that I can post this one daily, though, and I'm very happy that you're enjoying it.

I'll have the next part up shortly this morning. Thanks again for the support and especially for commenting!  ~Kim

Reviewer: Oliviatheolive (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2016 07:08 PM · On: It's Just Dinner...Right?

I don't like how your story is making me act. I'm feeling ridiculously giddy and squealing like a school girl. This is why I don't read fanfiction at my internship and especially why I don't read it during lunch- (I share an office with my supervisor.) I'm just breaking all my rules today.

Because-

I squealed when Brian mentioned pflag. I squealed when Justin asked if Brian missed him- and then Brian said no (perfect). I squealed when Justin got all shy and asked Brian to dinner...the questions and looks my coworkers were giving me..... I can't handle this mushy stuff. 

tomorrow....sigh... I'll be up and ready to read the next chapter (because I'm hooked)


Author's Response:

Hi, Olivia! You had me a little worried there with that first sentence - ha!  But I'm so happy that you're enjoying this story; that puts a smile on my face.;)  I had to laugh over your comment about your co-workers.  If you think this was bad, wait until what literally 'follows next' - LOL!

Mmh, a new story of yours! I would have read the first chapter any way, but than I found your anouncement that you will post a new chapter every day. Happy me - I'm not good in waiting for new chapters :-)

I like your Justin, and I like Claire and even the dogs. I like the light, a bit humoristic tone, the more feel-good than all-angsty start. Thank you for sharing!



Author's Response:

Hi, Steff!  I'm so happy you're going to be reading this one, and I'm glad that you are enjoying the characterizations in this story.  I know how you feel, too, about WIPs.  I'm guilty of that myself, with two presently, but except for one-shots here and there, I'm going to try and make my own, personal New Year's resolution not to post multi-chaptered stories until they are either all complete or near to complete. I don't like the guilt I feel when I can't update as quickly as I would like, and I'm sure it can get frustrating to readers when there's a while in between updates.  But I always finish my stories, and those will be no exception.

I hope you continue to enjoy the rest!  I'll have the next part up in just a little while. Thanks for reading, and especially for commenting! I greatly appreciate that. ~Kim

It's interest to find that , I assume, Brian's nephew is gay. And that Brian missed Justin when he didn't show.  Plus we learn that Emmett cuts hair.  Not to mention that Brian isn't ready to admit he's gay too.



Author's Response:

Hi, there! As always, I'm grateful to you for reading and especially for commenting. :)

I thought Emmett with his styling flair would make a great hair stylist. Maybe I'll have to try and write another fic with him as that.;)  I hope you're continuing to enjoy the direction this story is going; I'll have Chapter 3 up tomorrow. ~Kim

Oooo....this is going to be good! I can't wait for the next chapter.

Author's Response:

Thank you, Tamara!  Just posted Chapter 2. Brian's getting in deeper and deeper (wink, wink).  Hope you continue to enjoy it, my friend. ~Kim

I can already tell that I'm going to fall madly in love with this story. It is amazing! I love this portrayal of Claire and I love semi straight Brian and confident gay Justin!! Yes!?'!!! I can't wait for what you concoct for the next chapter 



Author's Response:

Hi, Olivia!  First of all, thank you for being one of our writers on the site. We love having new authors on here, and I'm glad you are continuing to post stories.  I have so little spare time right now, it's hard for me to play catch up with my own reading, but hopefully I can do that soon.;P) 

Thank you for reading this one, and for the feedback!  And yes, while Justin is going to have some moments of angst coming up, he's going to be in the 'driver's seat' off and on here (wink, wink) until a certain hesitant older man figures it all out.;)  I do hope you enjoy the rest of the story!  Part Two is coming up shortly.:)  Thanks again.  ~Kim

P.S.  Love the lyrical author name, BTW. :) Too cute.

I like what I read so far.  Can't wait for the chapters that follow.

oh Kim - I needed a giggle tonight - and this definitely fit the bill

poor Brian - believing he is straight - whatever will he do as he find that this blond bundle of joy is everything he never knew he wanted - can't wait to see him figure out how it all works...*wink wink

and Mrs Kinney - what a hoot!

so much fun - thanks for that

Charle



Author's Response:

Hi, my friend!  Always delighted to see you reading a story of mine.:)  I'm so glad this one gave you a smile.  Yes, it's definitely a departure from Brian's norm; hopefully, though, I'm still going to keep him IC as much as possible. There's the rub, though; how do you do that when all his life he's been led to believe he's straight?  But he's about to find out how wrong he is. (tee, hee).  And don't worry; Justin will give him the 'help' he needs coming up. (wink, wink)

 

Thanks so much for reading, and especially for commenting, Charle! I appreciate so much. Ch. 2 will be posted shortly.  *Hugs* ~Kim

This is a great first chpt Kim. I'm very excited to read the rest.

Can't wait until Justin "unstraightens" Brian. 

Also love Mrs Kinney. You certainly know how to write good dog 



Author's Response:

Hi, Kearney!  I'm delighted to see you reading this one.;)  Thank you for the feedback, also.  I'm glad that you are enjoying it so far. This is one finished; I see probably eight chapters by the time I divide it up.;)  I'll have Part 2 up tomorrow.  Thank you again for the encouragement and the support!  Glad that you like Mrs. Kinney, too! ~Kim

Interesting premise, looking forward to reading more.



Author's Response:

Thank you for reading, and for the comments, Kimi!  I'll have Chapter Two up tomorrow. ;)  It should be about 8 chapters in all (it IS finished).  ~Kim

Reviewer: lauren49ers (Anonymous) · Date: January 06, 2016 05:29 PM · On: Meet Mrs. Kinney

I've enjoyed your writing and the storyline a lot. It's quite unusual to hve a straight Brian in a story and I can't wait to see his interactions with Justin.



Author's Response:

Hi, Lauren!  Well, let's just say that Brian thinks he's straight; he's soon going to find out that's not exactly the case. *g* 

I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far. I'll have the next part up tomorrow. Thank you for reading, and for the comments.  ~Kim

Reviewer: tiger062 (Signed) · Date: January 06, 2016 05:12 PM · On: Meet Mrs. Kinney

Well that was fun. Brian is definitely a late bloomer. It's going to be an interesting journey for the boys. Love Deb as the housekeeper. Brian naming the dog Mrs Kinney - what a hoot....LOL

Author's Response:

Hi, Monica!   Well, let's just say that Brian is going to be a fast learner.;)  Glad you liked the name he picked out for his new companion, and I just couldn't resist putting Debbie in that role; it was too perfect.  Thanks for reading, and for the comments!  I'll have the next chapter up tomorrow. :)  ~Kim

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: January 06, 2016 04:27 PM · On: Meet Mrs. Kinney

Now this is what I call different.  Brian, retired, over 30.  Claire his 'younger sister' married 9 times?  Deb a housekeeper.  When you had a trainer mentioned I thought ahhh Justin.  Wrong!  I like how they meet and both have dogs.  French bulldog and pug - at least they are both short.  I look forward to seeing who else shows up.  Michael?  Emmett?  Ted?  Lindsay or Melanie?  The possibilities are endless.



Author's Response:

Hi, my friend!  Yeah...don't think Claire's the best person to give out lovelorn device - ha!  Can you imagine the joining of a pug and a French bulldog?  Would not be pretty - LOL!

Thanks for reading this one. It IS complete. I will post another chapter tomorrow. And yes, there will be at least one more well-known character being introduced in a different role. :)  Thanks for the comments!  ~Kim
