Don't know about the rest on here who read this story - but it sure choked me up and I enjoyed the story very much. Thank you for a story that makes you forget about our present problems and times that we are going through. Gave you a 5 and wish it could be more. To bad everybody doe's not read this one. Thank You. JAG/TSO
Like the commenter before me, I found myself teary eyed, too. As a 57 year old male, it's rather unusual for me to become so emotionally involved in a fictional story, but this touched me on many levels. The historical references enhanced my enjoyment considerably. Well done.
If this is your first story please don't stop. This was very well written. I look forward to reading more from you.
Thank You! Thank You! for such a sweet escape. You have this 40 year old bachelor believing in magic. What joy it would be to love someone like that as best friends and equal partners. Please write Mindy's story soon.
This is unbelievable good. Extremely well written, great story, my god, you´re a born writer!
You know, this was really really cute. I love a happy ending, and more than that I love it when people get to be with the person they love. :-) Thanks for sharing!!!!
A wonderful mixture of emotions. Such a beautifully crafted story. I look forward to reading more of your work.
All i can say is wow!you have such a great way of writing,u really moved the other readers and me to tears.keep up the good work n i cant wait for the next submission.tally
What a wonderfully moving story! I seldom become emotionally invested in a story however your tale of love and magic has me beleiving in both again. I only wish that you had more stories here that I could read (the first thing I did was look). Thank you so much for writing and sharing this story with the rest of us!
So sweet!!! Um ... maybe a follow up story with Mindy and Finn? *hint*hint* lol
There are some excellent stories on Literotica about genies and wishes, but you were able to do the near-impossible - come up with a fresh approach on such stories. You write wonderfully well - your characters are fully developed and you let your readers get to know them and care about them. Your various scenes are written well and realistically, and your dialogue is very well written. The thoughts and emotions of your characters are very well presented. I've read hundreds (thousands?) of stories (Literotica and elsewhere) and this is one of my all-time favorites. Thanks for sharing your caring writing and I very much look forward to any future story you desire to share.
Awesome...started reading it and never put it down..LOVED IT! A real feel good story which I desperately needed!!!! Can't wait for Mindy's story, so please tell me you're writing it!!!
'Magic Absolutely Magic'. I'm glad that I read your comment & clicked your name & WOW!!!! I got this story. Oh! its hard to define this wonderful story in words. All I can say is 'Thank You' for sharing your story. I want MORE.
I absolutely loved this unique story. Great mixture of emotions from grief and fear to humor and love. I really enjoyed the character development; Marcus' struggle between what he'd always been and what he could become was quite moving. Bravo!
I admit that I had never heard of the author before I read her comments on another authors story.I am really glad that I did,since I would have missed out on one of the best(and one of the most original)stories that I have read.Please PennLady can we have some more.
I don't usually read the longer stories in one sitting; my daughter doesn't let me! But this was worth the deal I made with her that I would build her a Lincoln Log library after I was done reading. :-) Very romantic. Very well described. The characters were realistic and likeable and, though I was hoping the parents would wake up and not die, I understand why you wrote it that way. It made a lot of sense. Not a single grammatical error - that I could find. Fantastic job. Truly fantastic. And I love happy endings!!! Go Marcus and Jules!
I noticed that you left some good positive comments on a few of my other favorite authors so I decided to see if you had anything posted. Let me just say that I am very glad I checked you out! This was a great story! Good characters, you really get into them and what they are going through! I can't wait to read your other stories. Thanks for posting!! Jess
Sometimes we just need to read sweet fairy tales with wonderful endings...Thanks.
Honestly. You got all the elements right. Darn near made me cry in the middle too! Loved it and if I had to guess...would Finn happen to be a leprachaun?? LOL. Loved it, loved it, can't wait to read Mindy's story!
I absolutely loved this story! I did cry and I loved it. It truly touched my heart. Great Job!!!!!!
I'd have never thought about a genie story! As far as the supernatural goes, it's definately under used. great job:)
And creative. Glad I found you, you're very talented. Kitty
Wow, you are an amazing writer, let me tell you...nothing warms me up more than a well-written and a well-told story. You've got it in spades!
LOL I was chuckling through parts of the story. It's just a little ridiculous lol. But don't get me wrong, I still loved it :)
By the way, I love your writing style ;) you're a great writer
I've been working my way through all your romance stories, and this one was just as great as all the rest. Very different, and I'm not usually one for unrealistic stories, but I enjoyed this one!
I loved, simply loved!, this story! From the moment Marcus popped out
of the bottle and Julie receiving him with confusion and friendliness
I knew it was going to be special. I like the slow start, with Marcus
starting out as obedient, and Julie as hesitant and desiring for
equality, not wishing for anything. The subplot with her parents also
lent a tender touch to the story. Then the love unfolded, with Julie
gently caring for Marcus, and the happy conclusion I was hoping
for.
Masterful!
this is so different from your hockey stories, nearly didn't read it, glad i did. enjoyed every word. why can't life mimic fiction? ;0)
This is the best Fantasy Romance that I've read on this site with since I read Daniellekitten's Christmas Blessings. Five Star all the way
I'm generally not into fantasy, but this one is definitely one of my favourites now!
Can we please have one for Mindy and Finn? :D ;)
This is by far one of my favorites. I had to hold back a few tears as I was reading this.
This story is brilliant :)
Thank you
Having read at least a thousand stories by now, few have endeared me as much as this one. PennLady can write!
It's a beautiful story... We can't help but love your characters... I love all of your stories. Thank you for making us dream. :)
Absolutely stunning and this is only the second one I've read!
Thank you.

By the time I got to the end I was crying. This is insane. I go to Literotica to get sexual stimulation not ... sniffle ... have tears running down my face.
On the first page I thought 'yeah, yeah, Genie, as if' but by the end I was wondering how you would get them together, or would it just be hopeless love, lost forever. But you did it.
Fantastic job.
Now I'm going to read everything else you've written.
I have just had a marathon of reading all your stories and I am truly grateful to have come across them. Never thought to look for romance stories on a site like this but it was the best thing I ever did. Thank you for the great time.
You gave us a great romance with a touch of fantasey. First time that I read one of your stories (that I remember). I will definitely read more.
Congratulations for such an amazing story. I have a hard time finding ones that don't make me frustrated or want to gag...and this one is probably one of the best I have ever read.

if only that would happen in real life....I suppose we can all have wishes and possibly make them come true if we believe enough in ourselves.....she could have wished for him to be hung like a horse and get well and truly screwed....I know I would have wished for that and the ability to get any woman I wanted....brilliant...loved it....
Loved it! I read mushy love stories..This story made me wistful. Wish I could find love of this sort.
