'sigh' It's like coming home. Meeting again with old friends; regardless of how much time goes by it's always as if the last get-together was just yesterday.

Highly enjoyable. We get more of Dale's feeling as usual, now with Jasper's brand of topping! Nice 😁

Flynn and Paul go away for a conference, and Dale doesn't cope very well.
I really enjoyed this story. For once, we got to see how Jasper Tops alone, and just how different he is to Flynn and Paul. For one thing, there was doughnuts and shop-bought cake. For another, he left Dale spiralling for a lot longer than either Flynn or Paul would, seeing if he would admit that he was struggling.
There were a lot of humorous moments in this story, though. For one thing, Flynn and hotels and hotel soap and hotel food. He still has a lot of brat in him, but I feel as though Paul deals with him deftly and fondly. It's really quite sweet, seeing their relationship.
I also enjoyed Riley and Jasper together, eating junk food, telling scary stories, carving pumpkins. Even though Dale is spiralling out of control at the time, it's really sweet.
I did physically hurt for Dale in places, though. Even though he's made leaps and bounds from the very first book, he's still a very damaged man. I think he still needs a lot of closure as far as his mother is concerned, and I hope we get that.
Great Halloween story. For Dale, the scariest things are not the ghost stories they share, but the emotions of missing someone. The authors handle this so well.
I don't think I could ever tire of reading about these men.

Another great story about Fall's Chance Ranch and the people that I love that live there. Sure, Dale is still having problems. This book's problems hit me more than some of the other that he has had. I think that is because I can relate somewhat because the trigger that is hitting him is something that is my biggest fear. I don't want to say what it is and give away the story. I just know that watching him learn to cope was something I could understand. I also think this fear is something that hits most people in some way or another. So, really good addition to the series. I definitely hope that more books come along. I will keep my eyes out for everything.

This somehow wormed its way into becoming one of my favourite short stories.
Set around Halloween, Flynn and Paul attend a psychology conference both as further training to understand their clients and their newest husband. Nobody expects it to be a big deal, least of all Dale, but watching the two of them walk away turns out to be a huge trigger for him.
Includes ghost stories, pumpkin carving, gentle talk about trauma and long-distance topping.

Poor, poor Dale. Great little short. Dale coping (or not) with separation anxiety.
Loved it.
