All Comments on 'Acts of Grace'

Nice, cozy story. Well worth four stars.

JPB NOT BOB

Fuck Fuck Fuck, Mrs Bennett. Old bitches and their drama over colorful words.

4* with Tim, Grace and Claire but too short.

There were a lot of good authors and good stories on Literotica 15 years ago and this was one.

I first started reading on Literotica about that time.

I suggest when you come across some of these long gone authors you keep a list of their names, and go back to them every so often for good entertainment.

The Hoary Cleric

Great tale, a Christmas story with a child - thank you. 5 stars

somewhere east of Omaha

Cute ending.

Cute Five stars

Many words, little meaning.

Superb!

What's the name of that song ?

'Amazing Grace' - how sweet the sound !

Sweet and festive!

Love your writing Sometimes makes my eyes watery.

Wonderful story, 10stars! And next Christmas,daddy and her new mommy, gave Gracie a real doll to take care of...

Lovely romance well written with a heartwarming tale. BardnotBard

An after thought. This story is slightly similar to a DanielleKitten story, The Christmas Blessings. Both have that special romance flowing through them. The widower with a kid(s) and Christmas magic make them so special. Fabulous reads! I am so glad each was shared for me to enjoy. John

Wonderful story of romance and love. Grace is a wonderful addition to the story. The twist with the fishnet stockings at the end by Grace and Claire is super. Loved it. Getting Claire and Tim together is perfect. Enjoyable read thanks for sharing.

Nth re-read!

Like I commented on 'Gone Fishin' - this excellent 'Romance' is an excellent 'palate cleanser' after several 'Loving Wives' stories!

11/10!!!!!

(5/7/2023) I agree with SatyrDick and relate with dgfergie. This story goes on my list.

Gracie needs a baby sister, and a mommy that loves her. Her new mommy's name is Claire Clarke...

I've read this one several times and loved it each time!

Bof!

Hallmark Channel Worthy!

11/10!!!!!

Great start, but then it felt like a drop-off when the play took off.

Great story, though an epilog would have been nice.

Pretty darn good even for the second time. I wonder if I asked Santa..............................Nah! But you never know, I'm just one of those dirty old men that need love to. 5 stars before and still!

Back again.

Ho, ho hee, hee.

I love re-reading this story.

Good story. For those that question on Grace not fitting her age, Remember she had lost her mother and often that will stun or accelerate maturity in a child. Having seen my children grow up my daughter had serious mental issues and my son grew up much to fast dealing with her. So Grace being wiser that a typical 7 or 8 year old is not a reach to me. As for Grace taking Claire to her room to sleep remember Grace had asked Santa for a new mom, so yeah while it was strange it was something a little girl might well do. 5* this is the 2nd best Christmas Story I have read. The best is Bringing Carrie Home, it will make you cry.

Now this was a wonderfully written Christmas story, it was well paced just drew me in as a reader hoping that Tim and Claire would fall in love and have that happily ever after. This is the kind of Xmas love story that everyone enjoys watching the Hallmark channel. Well done 5-stars

My second by this author...five again...after leafing thru all the usual fetishes I'm becoming a sucker for a good Romance story. My only critique, I wish the author's heroines wouldn't jump into bed with the hero so quickly. The stories could be a bit longer to accommodate for that, and because they're a pleasure to read.

so cute, well written

so so...

Great story, especially the misdirection and wordplay at the end, A+!

I read this a year ago with a tear in my eye, I read it tonight with a smile all the way thru, a wonderful story for an old 78 year old man. I used to read only sci-fi in my youth but now it's romance and LW after losing my wife of 40 years.

Nice to read a sweet story. 7 stars, because they won't change the rating system, so if I think it deserves it, that's what you get. The Bear approves. I normally read and contribute to Loving Wives; Guess I'm going to have to broaden my horizons. It's nice to read about decent people getting lucky. Keep writing.

The BEAR

Predictable but very enjoyable.

Mike the Irishman 🍀

Loved the twist and word play at the end!

Excellent!!! A rare 5 stars from me

Might have been a big star on Broadway, but she was completely outshined by Grace in this one. What a wonderful little character.

"It had seemed like such a good idea, asking Santa Claus for a new girlfriend for Daddy. She hoped he hadn't screwed up her other presents this badly." This line from Grace's mind stole the show for me. It's exactly the mindset of a precocious child.

Wonderful.

cute...predictable...

Now that was sweet, as others have said. I'm not sure an 8 year old can be that conniving but who cares. 5 stars..

Such a sweet story! I loved the conniving little mouse who brought her father and his love back together again! Five stars!

Love it!!!

I re-read this story today. My favorite Christmas story! This story is on my top ten story list,

It always brings tears to my eyes... great great story.

***** stars.

Happy Holidays!!

Burninglove

Loved it.

Where have you disappeared? No more stories for such a long time ?

Thank you I needed that, keep writing.

Well that brought tears to my eyes... great great story.

Grace is a hoot. Are you a retard? Fantastic. 5

Dude, buddy. She's actually a world renowned assassin that was called up to kill the effing boogeyman. She has enough money to stop working, just don't kill her dog.

I love how the classic Christmas poem is woven into the story.

Two Christmas stories, the other one being SS06's 'Two Christmases' although his isn't written in the 'Romance' category it did have Santa and a happy ending.

Really enjoyed this romance, dreams and wishes triumph. Thankyou for sharing.

Loved it thank you

But what is reality? Her career has exploded and she will be gone 10 months out of each year acting. How will that affect her relationship with Tim? Basically like most Hollywood marriages, divorce and remarriage 3 or 4 times...actors are the shallowest people in America.

Not my first or last reading of this. Claire was in love with him and he was in love with her and Mouse got a great Step Mom

Claire was a slut!

I enjoyed it very much. Thank you.

Too many wierd things happening here. Strangers sleeping in the house. She likes him but dumps him when she thinks he's helped her. Little kid coming up with plans like fake wedding announcement. Point of view jumping all around. Not one of my favorites.

...I finally got the god damned pun at the end. Sheeesh.

5-stars... for the pun alone. Wow, a whole story just get that pun in. I’m amazed.

A really heart warming tale. Read it to the end, really well written. A keeper.

Okay, so this guy wakes up to find out that there is not only a stranger in his home, but that she was in his daughter's room all night. Yet, he doesn't go into full on stroke mode? The guy is more concerned with his daughter's language than he is about there being someone in his home who could have done God knows what to his daughter.

Then there's Claire, now granted she's an actress so I expect her to be a little crazy. I certainly wouldn't expect her, however, to readily agree to just go to sleep in a little girl's bed without alerting the girl's father. Even crazier, if she got a little hot during the night I would think she might toss off the covers, turn down the heat, NOT strip down to her lingerie while in bed with a little girl.

These characters' decision making abilities makes me think Grace was right; Claire is mentally disabled, unfortunately for Grace, so is her father.

thankyou

Re-read this again. Needed it on Christmas Day (sad I know).

I think I want to dabble a toe and write a story, then I read something like this and just figure there is no use. Great story!

Many Thanks!

Such a very good love story. One of my. Favorites

Ron

clever twist with the poem.

Lovely story. Well written, straightforward, well, Grace was. As usual, in matters such as these, the adults have yet to learn to speak with such honest, such grace.

Just lovely.

Thanks.

Mouse got her wish a New. Mother and Tim and Claire got each other. A really good heart warming story.

Thanks. I feel great. You are very good.

Thanks again!

I love FeelGood stories!

A great read...lovely story...full of heart!

Really great and lovely tale.

I liked so much.

All the characters I have seemed very real and true feelings of love, although there have been moments of tension, the end was happy, especially for Grace, Tim and Claire (logically).

5* for you.

I apologize for my English, is not my native language.

So Tim marries a actress slut who teaches Mouse everything about how to cheat on those who love her.

The word play was fun, the people were real, Mouse was wise beyond her years, and it had a very happy ending.

thanks

and quite well written. It's worth five stars but I can't imagine a professional writer saying "Stephanie is so much better of a role" - a better version would be "Stephanie is a much better role".

I think I read this one before. I'm sorry you are no longer writing on this site.

All is well it ends well. Mouse got her new mother and Tim and Claire got each other. A wonderful story. Will there be more about Claire,Tim and Mouse and there happy life.??

I reread this today and finally got around to making a commentary.

All this author's works are excellent I recommend them to readers.

So glad I found this story. It is wonderful. Hope to read more.

The way cute ending certainly Claire-ified things...

Very nicely done.

Excellent story!

I agree with everyone!

Now THAT is how to do it!

Is it me or does the character of Grace seem a little too old to be seven? The way I read it she seems more like 4 or 5 at most. Perhaps it is just an old man not knowing chilkdren.

A great story nonetheless, just can't picture the ages as stated.

habbit of mine the last few years in the weeks leading to xmas is revisiting & reading again my favorite tales .

...

Acts of Grace & Goin Fishin by M.A are a good place to start.

is seven years now since MarshAlien added anything new & yet each year i hope maybe to find something new by this author .. o well maybe next year

..

god bless & ty for sharing , where ever u may be.

I really enjoyed reading the story again and I hope to see a follow up story about Grace,Claire and Tim.

For another great story. You are one of the best writers on this site.

and this is one. And, again, it has brought happy tears to my eyes.

Thanks for a superb, skillful story.

Ive been on this site for a couple of years now, and the list of writers i actually like is pretty short. But after reading some of your storys, i can say you are definitely on the list now. Keep up the awesome work!

A REALLY GOOD LOVE STORY AND GRACE WAS GREAT IN IT. TIM AND CLAIRE IN LOVE SOUNDS REALLY GOOD.

QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE A SEQUEL TO THIS WONDERFUL STORY IF SO WHAT IS THE NAME OF IT. IF YOU DO NOT WHY NOT WRITE ONE ABOUT TIM,CLAIRE AND GRACE . 5 STARS PLUS

RON TEXAS

OK, so that's a different musical, but y'know - sorry, *you know* - what I mean. :-)

one....5

bill....

Very sweet story with a nice ending. You could easily have made it much longer without dragging it.

The dialog of the little girl Grace just blows me away. It carries the story along very nicely. My hat's of to you :-)

Sorry you are not writing on the site anymore though...

/Kroelle

Would love to see you write more if you've more to tell, because this one is perfect.

or a recommendation. this story is one that took me a rather circuitous route to find, but I am so glad I found it. and yes, it is unusual to have the central character be a child. but in this case it fits.

warm fuzzies.

can't stop smiling, should be a Hallmark Christmas Special ... DKP

Heart warming tale of love. Grace was wonderful. Keep writing.

I missed ever seeing this story. My first time reading it! It is nice to find good stories that make your day a little brighter!!! Makes digging and following so many links worth it when can find stories like this one.

I have read several other MarshAlien stories and found them good reads.

Good writing. Good story! Thanks for the emotional uplift and smiles you created!!

Not sure how old this is but hopefully your are still writing because I will keep reading. I guess need to look at your past work to find more to enjoy.

Thanks for keeping it posted.

It is a wonderful story.

I usually don't like stories like this one, just because the ones here are often not well done and cliché. You've done a great job with this one, however, and you should be very proud.

I have read this story several times. it always warms my heart. thank you. I just wish that you would write some more. like I said it warms my heart.
