Reading it for the nth time and still enjoy it as much as I did on first time. Thank you for this beautiful story.
It is indeed one of the best story I have ever read. I salute your writing power. Please keep it up.
I've read and re-read this one a dozen times and it never gets old. As others have commented, I wish Web Spinner was still posting stories.
It was better than good, it was fucking brilliant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just wish it was edited a little better. Several/many misspellings and/or misuse of words (e.g. they vs. the). I realize ‘web_spinner” isnt writing here anymore, but please, future authors please use editing services offered by Literotica.
its well balanced. bloody mean at the beginning. some people ahe, , , yes theyre out there. and the rewards, , ,
cheers
a 5 star read

You brought out the softy in me. This story is very good, you are a great story teller!
web spinner, cat5, hermit, and few more going back 17 years were the few best writers
This is a beautiful story with a very good setting it makes you think you could be there joining life with them.
Like they say there is someone for everyone but you should have your patience...
If Caitlin will cuck Carson I think it would be a better ending.
I've been a member of this sight for a decade now, and this story has been in my "Favorites List" the whole time. Great Tale!

I read the story because it was intelligent and fun ... a romance!
It was fun to read...I just love romance. Love it to bits.
This is a feel good story and I read it every few weeks when I need to feel good. Sad the cheating whore of a wife, but the real story I can identify with. I live in heavy ranching country and know their ways. I was a dairy farmer and worked probably harder than they did, but helped them as friends with sick cow issues. I wasn't a Vet, but know how to treat cows. Every time out of exasperation I had to call a Vet he/she said "I would treat them the same way". Most times there wasn't an answer. After all I had watched Vets for years work thru university and a lifetime of experiences. I have fishing rights for a lifetime to several ranches, friends help friends.
To see what can happen when two people of equal moral fiber and character commit to each other. Janice is night and Caitlin is day. Janice conived, lied and cheated. She got her reward.
Caitlin loved, believed in and committed . she got her reward too.
Just goes to show how everyone gets what they work for and deserve.
It was so easy to picture Caitlin and her feisty personality so common in Irish redheads. This story was well written and well edited. I look forward to reading more of your stories.

After the third reading, stories like this still are my main type of reading. I love good romance with love stories not just straight sex games. You still rate one of the best writers on this site. Do continue and best of all things to you. Most writers use spell check, but that doesn't cover bad grammar and your stories flow without having to double read to find out what you're writing about.
The flaw very early on almost made me stop reading except for the high marks of the story. The flaw is that he inherited his dad's money before he was married so at the most the amount it appreciated during the marriage would be community property to be divided up with his wife. The story alludes that he would have had to divide up that money with the cheating wife.
Btw, again he purchased the ranch prior to his marriage so that would not be community property so he wouldn't have to worry about having to divide it with her. Also, even if he had purchased it after his marriage but with money he had prior to the marriage then it is still his property alone and not community property. If he put up 75% of the money from funds he had prior to the marriage and 25% came from their combined funds earned after marriage then only 25% of the property would be community property.
It is about time someone wrote a story with common sense and love instead of harm
We all like stories where the protagonist triumphs over evil (usually in the guise of a cheating wife) and finds love and prosperity on the way - but I can't get very excited about a story teller who requires such massive suspension of disbelief as did the author of Irish Eyes.
The tension created by the protagonist's community property situation was patently artificial. Janice posed no threat to his inherited wealth - none, nada, zero. The tension created by Wilson's machinations was nil - a man with that much money (his ranch was a bargain at $5 million) was simply not going to get swept up in some penny ante rustling scheme (how was Wilson going to sell the cattle? Typically calves are marked with a micro chip in lieu of branding) A guy with that kind of money is going to have layers of henchmen between himself and the commission of the crime - and he is going to have a battery of lawyers representing his employees and another set representing him personally. Even if a jury convicted him of rustling - and that process couldn't happen in the course of a summer - there would be appeals and he would be out on bond the whole time.
In short, the story of a guy running away from a bad marriage and finding himself working on a ranch and marrying the owner's daughter could be a delightful romance, and one that didn't require continuous suspension of disbelief.
... you'd think that Bill and Colleen would have taken a couple of days off to go to Caitlin's graduation from vet school. To date that should have been their proudest moment for and of Cait. Instead she just shows up at the ranch after graduation. Rather, they should have left to be wherever she was going to school for the night before graduation in their biggest truck. Then maybe the day of, and certainly the day after, graduation loaded all her things that she'd accumulated from 7-8 years of post high school education. The night of graduation would have been a night for a celebration dinner, as well as a graduation party or two with Caitlin's (probably lifetime) friends she's made during school. Then, depending on how long it takes to load up the truck the day after graduation, and say final good-byes, leave that day, or the day after. So at a minimum there was one day to drive there, graduation day, finish packing and driving home. All longer if it takes more than one day's drive, or much of a day to pack and say goodbye. So 3-days absolute minimum.
Yet, in the story, it seems almost a surprise she shows up. Doesn't play right with me.
Other than that (I know shit about ranching, other than from movies) story is very very good. 4-stars.
this story made me laugh. it made me angry. it made me cry. and in the end it made me happy for Carson and Caitlin. great job best story i have read on this site so far. keep up the good work
I read one of the comments about the divorce settlement. I guess he did not read the first part of the story when Carson came home and overheard his wife was talking to her sister about her ex boy friend had fucked her 3 times that morning and she was going to get a divorce and move into ex's Brandons apartment and get rid of Carson. she knew about the Texas law and that divorce law for the state of Texas meant a 50/50 split of all community assets which could have eaten into his inheritance from his fathers estate. Carson knew this so he beat her to the punch and moved his invested funds to an off shore account so she could not touch it and emptied his savings and cancelled all his credit cards. Reason was she was already playing dirty and she thought if she applied for the divorce she would get first dibs on his money. Carson heard this from outside doorway of the living room, so he left until her sister left, then he came back home and because it was Friday evening he knew he could not get to his lawyer until Monday and his investment broker as well as the bank. he moved as fast as he could and got his money secured so he could formulate his plan and for his disappearance. She was the one who cheated on him and her punishment was total ruin financially. She was a very stupid woman who let sex dictate with some one other than her husband. For Carson he got his revenge and wound up with a better wife Caitlyn in the end who really loved him and she was a hard worker as well and became owner of their own ranch. The guy that previously owned the flying W made a grave in judgement by resorting to rustling cattle from the rocking B. He was not part of big operation, but his greed was to try and force his neighbors rocking B out of business so he would buy them out and he made a big mistake. I don't think he had a bunch of big wheel lawyers to over see his ranch when he was charged for cattle rustling which could have cost the three men caught on the ranch by Carson, they could have been shot dead just for trespassing. Cattle rustling is a big deal in ranching country and results long jail sentences and if caught could have resulted in being shot by the land owner during the commission of this crime.
One of the best stories I've read in a long time and it rings so true. I was stationed in Great Falls from '69 to '71 and might still be there if Vietnam hadn't needed my attention. The people and Big Sky Country had this Florida boy's heart in less then two months. Been back a few times and still love it but those winters don't appeal to this old boy near as much today as back then. I'll be looking to see what else you have posted. Need more stars!
I love this story so many emotions so many ups and downs. I could read this story forever!!!!!!!!!!!
Web_Spinner
Full marks for an outstanding story. Truly I could find no fault whatsoever. It managed to draw my attention right to the last sentence. Thank you for this contribution!
5***** I have read this story more than a dozen times and still love reading it!!! I just hope that WS writes some more stories since his style will be hard to top. Janice was a stupid greedy cunt that could only see the here and now, not thinking beyond that, I like the fact that Carson could think "Down the road and was able to keep his rightful assets. Well done Web_Spinner. Hope you haven';t quit writing.
As a young Florida raised two-striper I landed at Great Fall International Airport when the temperature was fourteen degrees below zero. That was where I met a wonderful Irish lady by the name of Helen, the wife of my landlord Johnny Reardon who had been a member of the Montana Territory legislature and then the State legislature. He was an “old” man and occasionally asked me to drive him to properties he owned and told me about his Montana and tying up his horse along side C.M. Russell’s outside a town bar. As I read about Bill and Colleen I saw Johnny and Helen and wondered if you might have known them. Even as a creation of your imagination it was written with great reality. Thank you for bringing back such fond memories. It took Viet Nam to drag me away from the State and the people; damn that war.
I go to it when I need a boost. I know it's a story of betrayal, but he was so very lucky she did. It opened up the possibility of true love...
Amazing, heart-filling story right up until the worst-placed typo on all of Literotica:
"Yes, Carson, I well (sic) marry you!"
LOL ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!
Talk about wrecking the moment! Hehe
"Honey, there's a hole in this condom."
"Do you have any bonine in the glove box?"
"And that's strike three to end the game leaving the bases loaded!"
LOL
I've read this time and time again. I find such joy in it. I wish you could make it into a movie! It would be fantastic!
It's a go to, when I need to feel good after the world has kicked me in the teeth, I read it. It never fails to make me smile, and feel better for a while... Thank you!!!!#
This is a truly great story, I will reread this one for a long time. I am an old romantic and I had a great loving relationship with my wife of 44 yrs. before the big "C" claimed her life essence. This is the type of story I love.
Before I was married to my wonderful wife I was cheated on by my fiance when I went to the Nam. Good thing we weren't married yet!! Thanks for a wonderful story.
Great story
Glad it was not once bitten twice shy
"No, I'll go with you. It was nice seeing you guys again, but we have run,"
I believe what you must have meant to write is:
"No, I'll go with you. It was nice seeing you guys again, but we have the runs!"
Seriously though, you need an editor, or at least someone to proof-read.
Thanks for the story!
The financial and legal details show experience (personal?) in these matters. Love stories like IRISH EYES only comes along once in a great while. Thank you.
I love love stories and this one is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Awesome story. Loved everything except the no to a prenuptial. As you pointed out in the first part of the story, the law doesn't give a shit. People change over time and sometimes not for the best. Love can be cruel at times as well as life changing. Bring in a prenuptial can protect both parties cause the legal system will fuck you with the lawyers laughing. In today's day in age, all marriages should have a prenuptial, as half end in divorce. It's not romantic, but can save your life.
I don't think that community property states legally work that way, only wealth acquired during the marriage would be eligible for distribution between spouses, assets prior to the marriage would not be eligible for his cheating slut wife to get her hands on, the lump sum payoff to get rid of her though, would still be the best way to handle it though:)
The concept still added the story line, commend your hard work and abilities!!!
Great story that really leaves a good feeling. Long enough to tell a full story without overdoing it. I really enjoyed the entire story.
Love this story, a BTB, then romance western. Fabulous, and well written
This is one of my best written stories. Seriously, with minimal exaggeration, does it for me.
Decent guy leaves shit for brains gold digging slut wife, divorces her, doesn't go off of the deep end and finds true love. Doesn't get much better than that in LW. Signed: BTW
Some people for some reason want this to be a real life true fact of life history story.
This is a made up story good as it is but, made up.
The facts that you call a flaw maybe in real where you live.
Where the story is taking place your norm is not a fact and I love it.🤨
I really enjoyed this sweet story, However I wonder how our protagonist’s personality dramatically changed when dealing with women from deferential in Texas to self-assured in Montana . Somewhere along the way our hero grew a pair. Keep writing and I’ll keep reading and enjoying your efforts.
Love your thoughtful justice on your ex-wife and you saved her (lovers) future heartache. You too were repaid for your thoughtfulness. Excellent writing and the readers mind has the chance of 'seeing' all the action and wishing he/she were on in your shoes. I just wish my wife looked as good and you described Caitlin. This is why we read the good stories ... wishful thinking. Keep it up.
It’s a bad sign he planned out their life with no input from his wife. A good wife is more then a cheer leader. She might have liked something else, or to know her opinion counted for something:

After reading this story for the third time I had to increase my original rating. This is a pure FIVE or higher.
Good story. I enjoyed it. How about a little more grit and sweat and Montana dust?
I love stories about Montana and especially if they have a happy ending.
I'm only bothered that I can't Favorite this story multiple times. One of the best stories on this or any other site.
of stories in which the guy has tons of money and just “buys” happiness. Plus he should have gotten her input before doing all that he did in the end. Nice story but no five stars.
I first read this story under 2 different titles on YouTube (the last being Irish Eyes) before it disappeared. It was always my favorite, but I could no longer share it with friends. I was tickled to death when I saw the title in a sidebar as a similar story to
"Drive". I no longer have to tell the story; I can send a link, and my friends can read it for themselves. I also thought this story would make an excellent movie. As a new reader to Literotica (less than 1 week) I now have 2 authors I can follow. Well written story. Five stars all the way!
Inherited money is not considered marital assets and would not be considered in a divorce.
Loved it, you are a great writer. It was a little rushed at the end. It would have been nice if it had been a series instead. No real complaints, look forward to another of your stories.
really liked and enjoyed the entire story.
Though I thought it was a bit of a long build-up (no complaints about the long build-up), and after they kissed it went bam-bam-bam, every event afterward in quick succession.
I would've really loved it a tad more if you just kept the "slower" pace.
I really enjoyed reading a well-detailed story until the kiss.
Kinda made me dream...
nonetheless really liked it and 5* Stars
This was such a romantic story and I enjoyed it very much. I just wish you developed Caitlin's character more. All we know is she's gorgeous and smart. And great in the sack =) Other than those, however, she was really basically a bitch to our hero. And I wanted to fall in love with her, too, to believe she was worthy of him. It just seemed that she only wanted Carson because, as Colleen said, Caitlin wasn't used to guys not chasing her so Carson seemed like a conquest to her since she was the one who now chased him. I was waiting to see her redeeming qualities, like maybe she was warm and funny and caring and sweet. Anything actually but didn't get any! Otherwise, it's a really cute story.
Good story line, but a little predictable. Nice romance but the sex wasn't quite immersive enough to be "erotica". Too bad there isn't a 4.5 rating.
Liked it throughout. Could have been more detail concerning Caitlin and her devoping relationship with Carson but overall did not distract from an enjoyable read.
cowboy tales and the people in the story always have great pasts, good present days and a hell of a future...TK U MLJ LV NV
A really nice story and well-written.
Only one comment. The protagonist was not really defined. We know really nothing about hi. Moreover, he is presented as someone who does not have any family. No siblings, no cousins? Just seems strange to write about a person with no past and no family. Because of that deficiency, I cannot give a 5*. I would like to give a 4.5*, but I can't, and a 4* would diminish the actual rating, and so not voting with stars.
That look a little hopeless and the MC makes good are always a welcome read. Thank you.
Westerns were real popular sixty years ago when I was a kid. NOT ANYMORE.
Haven't read one of these since I was a kid. It ain't Shakespeare, but it still addresses the core values of life, love and family. Nothing wrong with that.
Yippy kai yay!
Under Texas Divorce laws, inheritance is NOT defined as community property! As for his other assets, he can sell anything he owns at any time. He can move his money out of the country at any time. Assets in other counties are not included as community property. Community property is only defined at the initiation of the divorce petition. So he does everything prior to initiating the divorce!
Re-reading a lot of my bookmarked faves for inclusion in ALL-Time Faves folder and this third time solidly as good as first time read.
While realize requires suspension of belief, just like a great movie, I did wonder how tenderfoot got sniper's precision with Winchester, at the swimming hole when Caitlin skinny-dipping...
got 5 and fave first time....
"... I spotted the empty garbage can by the curb and drug it around the side of the house and through the side gate. "
Why do Americans say "I drug" instead of "I dragged"?
'Drug' is no part of the verb 'Drag'!
