Status Updates From Alex (Twilight Falls, #1)

i want to dnf so bad, but i’m already halfway finished. the plot technically would be fine, if the writing had more depth. just gonna push through i think.

You Had a Chance and You Blew It
The answer to raw unprotected sex without getting tested is always no. And for Finn to suggest it is a break in or betrayal of his character.

🤬 Drake you absolute fucker. How could you? Regrets to not give you permission to act like a dick. 🤬

“I suspected you were gay long before Catherine came to me with her suspicions ,” Aunt Maggie continued.
A buzzing noise filled Finn’s ears. “What?” he said numbly.
“Catherine thought you were gay,” Aunt Maggie said gently. “We spoke about it on many an occasion.”

Okay I'm so glad I was wrong about Catherine. I adore her. Oh and she had a hand is setting up this whole thing. It wasn't just Maggie.

He stiffened when he saw Drake staring at Alex. The builder met Finn’s eyes boldly before answering whatever question Hunter had just asked him.
That was when the truth smacked Finn in the face.
Drake and Alex used to be lovers.

Well that cat is out of the bag. Drake keeps acting like a jealous lover. Despite the fact that he made his bed 13 years ago. And you can bet this is going to cause Finn to withdraw.

“For me to find out exactly how enticing your dick looks all hard and wet and covered with soap suds.”
Alex groaned, his cock hardening at Finn’s filthy words. “I’ve awakened a beast.”
Finn grinned. “The beast says thanks. Now, let’s get you out of those pajamas.”

I can't even with Finn. He's fun. He kinda has two modes this is what I call his incorrigible mode.

Alex’s vision filled with tears as he stared at Miles Martinez. He swallowed past the lump in his throat and took a step toward the bed.
“Hi, Drake,” someone said quietly to his left. “Hi, Alex.”
Alex turned. His heart shattered all over again.

The story of the accident is out... if anyone touches me right now they might just get their eyes clawed out.
Not okay.

That Catherine had never allowed herself to openly mourn. To grieve their abject marriage and his failure as her husband. To cry over the knowledge that she would never get pregnant.

Oh Catherine, I have nothing but love and care for you. I'm glad you weren't a monster. Props to Salinger for giving us a beautiful lost soul.

"“You sure don’t act like my husband.” With that, Finn lowered his head and took Alex’s mouth in a savage kiss.
Alex gasped."

Friends don't let friends get plastered and then see their husband? 🤷‍♀️ Oh I don't know. It's their first kiss and it is fantastic. Sadly, Finn is absolutely going to regret it (if he even remembers it).

Omg Finn's house is absolutely stunning. All glass and perfect use of the natural elements around it. 🤩

“I know you won’t like hearing this, but I kinda understand why your great-aunt is doing this,” Izzy murmured after a while. “You do too, don’t you?”

This from the conversation Finn had with Izzy when he asked for help. I already really like Izzy and Aunt Maggie. I do like an author who writes fun female characters.

“They have to get married by the end of the month or they’ll lose their estate and half of their considerable fortune.”
Alex frowned. “I don’t understand.”
Izzy sighed. “I’m saying this client needs a mail-order groom. And pronto. They’re willing to pay half a million dollars to the right candidate.”

I know this may sound odd but... this is the shit fantasies are made of. But alas I live again though fiction

This seems rather preposterous. Didn’t he notice not being aroused by her before marriage? Did he never masturbate? I guess I can buy into not being aware of his sexuality but that’s some serious subconscious denial.

I am really struggling with this. Not sure if I can continue, it just feels meaningless, I don't feel any connection with the main characters!

Sweet, fluffy and uncomplicated. Just what my ruffled feathers needed.
Ends at 94%.
