I read the first page and was delighted, finally a story with class. Then I saw who wrote it, and I smiled to myself. I should have known :-).
I was going to say one of my top five, but as I typed I realized this story meant more to me than any other. Not sure why it struck such a stong cord, but you did a great job with this story. Thanks.
It's warm and real, and happens on two intertwined levels. There's the Allen/Erica story, as well as the Carsten/Curtis story that includes the daughters (and Fergie). The family dynamics appealed to me deeply. I believe that families are like planetary systems, with gravitational pulls among the members. The Curtises had been inexorably drifting apart, chilling in the winter of Erica's ice age, until Allen bumped into the system like an offbeat comet. Plus, the daughters' eccentricities were endearing touches.
Congratulations on a most original and satisfying tale.
I planned to give this story five stars before I finished it. If there was a way to give an extra accolade I would attempt it but my words would hardly do justice. I.ve added this to my Favorites list and hope to find more just like it.
Thanks
Great story! I can't wait for a sequel. I am enjoying the challenge in this relationship, and there are so many ways to continue...
Straight from the archives of asylum for insane. Can this writer actually tie his shoes?? I doubt it. He certainly cannot write. 1 star.
Writer obviously didn't take its meds when posted this mindless shit. "1*" .
I strongly disagree with the other critical comment. This is a superb story. VERY DIFFERENT...but damn...warm, loving and the good guy wins in the end! Shit, that is a good story to me. Will look up author to find other works and see if they can do it again, or if this was a stroke of good luck. For my vote, you got one of my rare 5's and encouragement to post more stories.
Loved the buildup and the writing was superb. Looking forward to reading more of your stories.
I (more than liked it) I enjoyed it... Thanks kid - good job ! It takes a lot to keep my attention and more to amuse me... even more than that to make it fun for me. Scotty / slowrdr@aol.com
Wonderful, and I can relate to 20 years of self-centeredness. Brilliant actually
If only problems could be turned around in a week, But the this is a short story, on a compressed time line. I found the dialog to be good, the characters idiocentric, but the story moved forward by fits and starts, sort of like life.
Anyway, I liked it

This is a story worth reading. The characters have a depth not usually found in a short piece like this.
The worst. Also this lowlife is cheating on its ratings. For more than a decade ALL of its drivel had a rating of 3-4 * ! Suddenly it have all of red H s. I urge readers to give this fag 1* to compensate.
of course I find you seven years after you stopped publishing here. Story of my life. Are any more of your writings available? If so, where could I find them?
Please ignore the nasty ‘posters’ trying to manipulate the score by encouraging 1* scores. This is a short story that isn’t centred on a 10” cock (in fact quite the opposite), it’s not perfect but after a wordy start really shares some human compassion. Really liked it & gave 5*
This is a very different kind of story than what is usually found on Literotica. It's so refreshing that it stands tall over the ordinary run of the mill, suck, fuck, 10-inch monster dick and mind blowing orgasms stories. E.D. is a fact of life that eventually affects most older gentlemen. High blood pressure medicine also kills getting and keeping an erection. Glad this story deals with the issue and shows that there is still hope for guys with problems.
Allen is a man after my own heart, a pair of warm panties is always welcome to help with getting things done. I'm glad Literotica keeps the older stories, because I would have hated to miss reading this one. Thanks
I give a high five !!
Some of the readers have already praised it. I would just like to underline that, but not repeat it.
How well Tarkatony can write can be seen in his dialogues.
The conversations are bursting with intelligence, ingenuity and naturalness. In my opinion, this is the hardest part of creating a good plot.
Many other stories by other authors lack this.
This is the third story I read from Tarkatony. Together they have broken, difficult characters who are looking for their way, have to fight it. The delicate handling of the sexual scenes definitely increases the pleasure.
Because of this, many of the serious big books in bookstores fail. They have almost no sexual abdomen. Something is missing in these books that accompanies and concerns us all almost every day.
It's a shame Tarkatony doesn't write anymore. I wish he would keep writing his stories, hope he is fine.
I look forward to reading his other stories here.
Heartly greetings from Germany
