All Comments on 'Home is Where The Heart Is'

What a well written and powerful May - December love story. The way the story builds and builds to the final conclusion is nothing less than amazing. When the story concludes another story is really starting of where the love story of Jamie and Paula really goes from here. If the author is reading these comments I would hope that the author considers continuing this powerful and wonderful love story, I know as a fan of these type of stories I would look forward and enjoy it.. Well done 5++++stars

That was absolutely perfect. Jamie is such a good guy and truly does not deserve his lot in life, I’m glad they both got a happy ending.

Great story!

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Another amazing story. I love how you actually flesh out your characters and make them into real people not just a 2 dimensional cookie cutter representation. I could only dream to be half the writer you are.

This is the greatest story I have ever read here, for any genre. Literally brought a tear to my eye at the end. No two people deserved loved more, truly genius plot and character development.

The first story read by you, definitely not the last. Thank you.

A happy ending and the kleenex is out. Thank you for this great story.

bloody brilliant, a reflection on how shallow life can be sometimes, but that sometimes two people can find each other and rise above hopelessness to happiness

Excellent story. Heartwarming.

Thoughts as a critique to the writer as thanks:

1) make a list of commonly switched words such as "your" and "you're" and look at your use in the story. Don't read it to find them use your search function to locate them it makes them stand out more.

2) I'd love to have seen "the next morning". You stopped at "the payoff".

3) You left unresolved threads that might have real value. How about a month later he visits that store where he got the rose and meets the cop again? You should have let us see him meet her kids. His ex girlfriend needed a bitchslap from Paula. Maybe his aunt passes in another month and leaves him everything?

Again, excellent work. Thank you for sharing.

A really great story. Kleenex required. One of the best I have read.

I love it and honestly I'm really sad that this is the end... it felt too short honestly.

Do that to me, please! :+))

Wink! Wink! Reciprocity Rules!

Warm. Smooth. Encouragement is so wonderful...!!!

You wrote a good story! Thank you!

I made an account after years of off and on reading just to tell you, that this story was absolutely fantastic. I haven't read anything in years that has captivated me and immediately and kept me there until the very end. Just awesome. Thank you so much.

I love the build up that is standard for most of your stories. This one got me misty in the end, as well as got me off. The way you can marry the two is literary gold, and I hope you continue writing for as long as you have the desire to

No matter how many times i read this story I always love it!

Excellent!

There are a few spelling mistakes and such but I got through that easy enough. The story line is what captivated my soul, the characters stayed in synch and true to form just being who and what they are. I absolutely loved it!

I know I am many years visiting after this was written but I loved it. Great story.

That was fantastic. I loved how you developed the characters. How you wove the story together. I felt for the characters. Sex was HOT! It wasn't raunchy even with how intense and graphic it was. I recently discovered your work and thoroughly enjoy it. Thank you.

What a wonderfully well written story. Absolutely fantastic. 5+ stars.

Very sensitively written.

I wish I could write like this...

What a joy to read, your writing is spell binding and l could have read a book of your work.

I hope you know how amazing of a writer you are! You stories have heart behind!! You feel connected to the characters in a way that I have never felt from another writer. Just wanted you to know that I appreciate your work!

I loved your story, " princess and the pauper ", I have read one or two stories of this vein lately , but I liked the pace of your story and the character you wove into it.

Wonderful!

Absolutely loved the story. Often wonder if this can really happen in this day in this day and age and your story makes it seem possible. Thanks for sharing your talent.

Thanks. Excellent, hot story.

Very good story very well written. I'm not going to go through over 500 comments to see if someone else noticed that early in the story Aunt Marie's house is paid for but later when the sons sell it they have to pay off the remainder of the mortgage.

Another perfect example of what makes your stories so special. The characters actually have character and care for each other. Makes the wild sex so much better. Intimacy first and foremost is of the soul. Thanks for another great story.

Loved it...love paula wish they made more of ones like her

What an amazing story. I loved it. Thank you.

Never get enough of this story. Definitely a five star rating 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Very touching story and nice to see a couple of good people get what they deserve. Thanks for the good read.

A beautiful heartwarming story.

I know she's older, but she saw him at his worst and they fell in love. Even with the difference in ages, it's a shame he couldn't make her a loving wife and mother, caring their son or daughter. 10 STARS AREN'T EVEN CLOSE!

This is the second time I have read this story and it was better the second times. You do, however, need a better editor. I noticed half a dozen errors including spelling and verb tense. A perfectly edited story would make it an easier and better read. Contact me is you want to talk to me about editing your work. I’m on Literotica’s list of approved editors. A really sweet story of two people who have a missing part of their lives that the other fills.

Great story. Beautifully written with a couple great characters. We’ll fine.

Would love to read more about these two. Where it goes from here

Thanks

Great story!

Very Beautiful, Heartwarming, und Romantique!

11/10 Purple Roses!!!!!

brilliant 👏

Fantastic!!!

If I could I would give it a even higher rating

Now that's a proper Valentine's Day story...5 stars (and a 4.7 from the East German judge- typos) "Not bad for an old lady" Yeah right, except for the 'old' part...and 'lady.' Growl...

Anon56

A nice slow build up, great characters and a wonderfully romantic sex scene. Well Done!

Best yet!! Keep them coming

Wow just wow !!! Righting is all about a number of things , the subject matter , the people, the descriptiveness of the Sean , but I think the most important thing is the way it flows. Too fast and it feels like your rushing to get to the good bit but to slow and it’s all just forgotten!

This was perfect in every way!!!

Very well done incredible x

Slippery x

You outdid yourself with this, for there aren't enough stars to tell you how much. I have been a reader off and on on this site so I thought I would look up favorites in this category, and no surprise you had two stories in the top 3. The one first I had read before and it was necessary to read it again after years, and it was filled with talented writing and story telling, and a joy to read again. When I saw this one as number 3, I just had to read it, and now when I just finished it, you made me convinced if you ever wrote a novel, I would surely want to read it. You mentioned at the beginning of each of these that your took the approach in a slower manner of writing, tut in my opinion as a fellow writer, although not here on this site, you have shown an excellence in every way. BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO. JEF

Read this more than twice...and still so so good...!

she knows what she wants and going to get it

and what a scorching first time....

now have to see what your other story is mentioned below

don't know how my fave story box got unchecked...this definitely in my All-Time Greats folder...

Loved every single word of this romantic, sexy, raunchy story. Super !!! Bravo !!!

Thanks, this was sweet and made me cry. I am an older woman, so I appreciate when stories focus less on looks and more on feelings and the heart.

I e read ALL of your MILF series, and this story is - WITHOUT HESITATION - the best piece of writing you’ve done, period dot. It was a perfect story, nothing contrived, nothing o eerily cliché. The characters came to life with vivid details, their mutual sincerity only adding to clear profiles of who and what they were about. All that brought so much more meaning and intensity to the love-making scene - and THAT made the story so much more meaningful and rich. BRAVO!

Great story, great build up, very real sex scene & nice ending. Well Done!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

While Paula is "doing the right thing" by continuing to help pay for her son's educations, I hope at some point they get engaged and when their fiances ask about their mother and they decide to notify her so they don't seem like such shits, that Paula mentions to the fiances to be on the look out because apparently the boys are in favor of cheating as evidenced by the fact they knew and covered for their father's cheating.

Seems only fair to protect potentially innocent women.

one of the best on literotica

Best story I’ve ever read. Five stars ⭐️

[11.08.22]

3rd or 4th re-read, still excellent!

The one small niggle:

I thought about going down the hallway to see if the shower were free, but quickly changed my mind. I had to get going in a few minutes to catch the beginning of the morning commute and had no way to dry my hair. The weather was calling for the low teens today, and I didn't need to get sick again.

This is a fallacy or Old Wives' Tale (like going swimming less than 30 min after eating) NOT true - MAINLY bacteria or viruses get you sick, NOT wet hair in the cold weather.

Still 11/10 Purple Roses!!!!!

Fantastic story! One of the best I’ve read here.

Sorry... i could only give 5 stars, it seems that the 10stars button's gone missing... ;-)

This story deserves an encore, it isn't finished... please continue...

This is one of the best stories I've ever read. I've read it several times and get the same feeling each time. Outstanding. Thank you.

Beautifully written! Loved it. Very very few stories are of this calibre on this site. Most are of the 'slam-bam-thank-you ma'am' types (well nothing wrong with that) and this story shone over the rest. Kudos and keep going!

I've probably read this before. You are one of my favorite authors on here after probably like specter dugan and xarth maybe burnt redstone. You have a tendency to go a bit sideways on me. You even did in this one to a certain degree. (Women like a man that takes charge and as I get older I find myself more prone to sniffing out fake women not the other way around. I suspect it has to do with my biological clock, much like menopause is a unique grandmother phase built into biology.) But all in all it was a good story.

A truly lovely story story about two lovely people written by a truly great writer. Thanks Lovecraft68.

Thank you for a great story. Love your style.

Just a lovely story about two lovely genuine people, it made me feel good thank u.

Damnit... brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing your talents

(10/7/2022) This was truly a wonderful read with a beautiful ending. Thank you for submitting. Five stars and it goes on my favorites list.

Ok Jamie and Paula are pretty sorted, how about those four sons and maybe Jamie and Paula can hold Aunt Marie close before she goes? I'm also sure there is a story in Jamie and Paula working together to sort out the business, probably with Paula as the CEO and Jamie riding shotgun. Pulling the economic rug out from under the ex-husband wouldn't hurt either.

Gino deserves a little goodwill too.

This hits me hard right in the feels every single time I read it.

Beautiful story of 2 people (unlikely, and probably shouldn't) falling in love. The characters' (both) looking at more than just skin deep is refreshing, and heartwarming.

From your detailed descriptions of Jamie's inner thoughts, it seems as if you may have some experience (whether directly or indirectly) with being in the financial dumps.

Thanks for the fabulous story!

Second time f reading this story and it still brought tears to my eyes. Thank you and keep up the good work.

This is a great page turner for me. I enjoyed it from the beginning when there were just his feeling and through to the end. Great dialogue in the whole story.. Many thanks

This is the second time i have read it and read it again after many years and it still kept my interest through to the end.

What an ace of a story. Loved it.

If I was in his shoes, she'd be begging me to leave her alone for a few. To be twenty and have a gravy train like that. She'd be walking bowlegged every day. And I'd make sure she never regretted taking me into her arms or her home. Anyway, good read.

This was a beau and romantic story. Wow!!

So grody. Granny picks up a hobo after he wooed her with a card from the dollar tree. Get real.

Superb!

This one makes me long for people I don't even know.

Damn! Nice build-up and smooth storytelling. It's nice to think about people doing the right thing for the right reasons, but even better with the slow build-up.

Great stuff, among the best I've read on the site. [Note that "lied" is the past tense of "lie", not "lay": I think "lay" is the past tense of "lay", but I always screw this up too (damn English verbs...).] But, again, excellent story, great buildup, fun, sexy, and heartwarming. The comments that say that the plot is unrealistic display ignorance of both fiction and life: stranger things happen in both.

This story keeps pulling me back time and time again like a magnet . This is the fourth time that I’ve read this amazing story and I wouldn’t be surprised if I don’t read it another four times in the future I’ll never get sick of it

Wow!

This is how a story should be told. Keeps the reader interested all along. Now I am eager to go through and enjoy all his works.

Can't compete with 581 other comments. It's a five

The Author is modest "my attempt at a little romance"

Don't miss this if you are really into and appreciate great romantic stories.

The Hoary Cleric

This was an awesome story keep it up

This is the best story I have read since finding this site.

Wonderful story!

May be the best story I’ve read! Thanks

Wow, just wow! I have read countless stories here but this was the absolute best! So much so that this is my first ever comment, Thank you so much, You're the best!

Great read. I enjoyed it even though I am not a romantic person. Maybe a little "too good to be true?" Will still read more of your writings.

Great story

A beautiful story. Well written and paced. Heartfelt and touching (as well as HOT!) Keep up the great work. Thank you for your time and talent. DMW

Very nice story. If I were your editor, I would have probably taken out just a couple of his hesitations back at Paula's house after their date. She basically handed him a signed & notarized letter claiming she wants to fuck his brains out and she knows he does too and yet he's still acting like a little wimp after the action got into motion. I mean, come on. Even a virgin would have taken the plunge before this kid...and we know he's not a virgin based on earlier comments/thoughts he shared with us, readers.

That's such a small nitpick...I'm sure most people would disagree with my assessment. Regardless, it's a 5-star story. Fuck she ended up being one hot piece of ass.

Thank you so much! You are a good writer, and understand that people get raw deals. Life is...complex.

This is a really good story. I happen to be homeless myself after losing a good job when I got sick. The story touched me and it had a nice ending unlike real life. My m female is depressing enough I don't need to read sad endings.

Great story with sex a not just a stroke story. Thank you for this and all your writing efforts!

The level of detail of his personality that matches mine made this like a story from my own life.

Beautiful story, thank you dearly!

Cute and predictable. No drama or suspense.

It would have been nice to have another chapter where Tammy gets her comeuppance, and Paula's sons suddenly find out that they will not inherit Mum's estate.

ps. Its the Nitpick Nitwit here just doing his thing.

Border:- A place where two separate entities join

Boarder:- A lodger, some one who pays board to live at someone else's home.

Might pay cash. Might pay in kind.

Fabulous from the base of tenderness , consideration and heart felt caring/love as well as a slowly building story of the development of trust allowing for full erotic sex.

So few stories involve love. Thank you. I'd enjoy reading the story from her point of view.

That was a wonderful story to read and enjoy. Truly romantic and sensitive. Thank you.
