Mason has a big-time crush on Hunter who they work with. However, when they were drunk and made a pass at Hunter, he turned him down flat out, leaving Mason a little heartbroken but he kept the friendship going. Hunter has an attraction toward Mason and wishes he could tell them what truly beautiful and wholesome human being they are and how they make him feel.


Oh my gosh, this story is beautiful! It's the third instalment of the dungeons and dating series and every story is written with so much feeling and passion that you get an understanding of each character.


Both Mason and Hunter have their different heartaches regarding drugs and addiction, you get a feel of the turmoil both characters have going on inside them and in some instances have my heart breaking for them.


It is a beautiful story that focuses on drug misuse, the loss of loved ones through drug use and the love and friendship people can find in the darkest of times

Silently haunting
A beautiful novel depicting a Jesuit priest who questions his faith after landing in Japan during the 17th century. It is a story with many temptations and plot twists set to test the priest to his limit. All around him, Christians fall to apostasy. A simple, yet touching tale.

I fully expected to be bored with this "kiddy" film, but was pleasantly surprised and fully entertained. There were definitely some moments that were "kiddy," but the story was great and it didn't detract from the overall film.
I'm really glad I was talked into watching this movie.
