Love the way Reid comes out to check out the horses. And I cheered when I read that Luke is no longer in a hurry to leave...and that he's really thought through his crappy relationship with you know who and realizes there might be someone better for him out there!

As for the other story.....I need a fan! Some ice water thrown on me! Something to cool me off!! Though through every encounter I was super nervous someone would come in and find them. Good going! Can't wait to read more!

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! Yep, I think Luke being away from Oakdale and the crazy shenanigans would allow Luke to think about just how bad his relationship with Noah was, and be ready to move on! So happy you're enjoying it! :D

I love Reid's awkward attempts at being nice, and his bluntness. Luke's romance novel is so hot...he needs some loving so bad, LOL. Maybe Reid shall read it? :D

Damn computer death, interfering with amazing story!

Yay! I'm loving this. You've done a great job interspersing Luke and Reid with the steamy Lukas/Jude novel.

Always lovely to see Luke's effect on Reid.

Okay, I think I'm loving the Lukas/Jude story way too much. Hot and sweet and sexy and just lovely. Luke is one brilliant writer!

Reid pretending to go out to the stalls to see the horses--ha ha, oh, Reid. And I love that present!Noah and past!Noah are far from Luke/Lukas's minds. Great chapter!
