All Comments on 'Spark'

of yours I have read. I will now read more. Very very good. Emotions, thoughts, physical reactions, all beautifully portrayed. A love story with an edge, I enjoyed it very much. M.

I think most gay men will relate to this well,,,,we've all been there. Excellent sex descriptions and scene setting....VERY BELIEVABLE!!!

:D

I don't read a lot of gay male stories but looked at this, started reading and liked it. YOU ARE A VERY GOOD WRITER!!

I loved every word. As a bi-curious guy who has virtually no experience, I was mesmerized by what could be if I found the right guy. Thank you for this wonderful story.

I love most of your stories, but I particularly love this one. It's a very hot story, of course, but more than that is the storyline itself. Very descriptive. You've shown his feelings exactly, you've captured that feeling.

Carson, I think this is really my favorite or yours. I know I say that every time, but this is especially near to my heart. Everyone whose ever fallen for someone far away can certainly identify. Thanks for making me cry, again.

Intensity of passion is the ultimate hallmark of truly erotic literature, and this piece has it to a remarkable degree. Emotional depth and physical thrill join together perfectly here - a hot, moving read with a great finish. Carson, as he always does at his best, captures feeling with power, clarity, and beauty.

Anyone who has ever been in a situation like this, you've so beautifully captured the flood of emotions that are experienced. I've been waiting for another story from you, thank you for continuing to share with us.

Your stories are always an overwhelming combination of physical passion and emotion, and this was no exeption. Every time you post a new one, it becomes my favourite, but this story was too perfect for words. Thank you for sharing!

"... wanting is better than having never had shit." Oh, so true! Very nice work. ~Imp

I'm almost finished with your list of stories, which makes me sad. I'd bet you can write a recipe for mac and cheese and it'd be hot and sexy.

Wicked

The toughest challenge a writter has is to describe a feeling and put it into words. For you that is no challenge but merely a play thing for which you dance the words amongst the text. Well done and superb. I do have but one thought, that poor poor morning cleaning lady...

You are a brilliant writer, darling. You really get inside your characters (and I mean that in an intelligent and non-smutty way, oh yes!) which is the mark of a really talented observer and chronicler of human frailty. To put need into words and spread it across the page so that the reader can feel, hear, taste and smell it. What a gift!

I have no excuses for why it's taken me so long to peek at your work, but I do have regrets after reading this story. I wish I would have read it sooner. It's been a long time since I read a story that was so honest. I really appreciated the bold moments of raw lust, the frustrating moments of self-doubt, the angry moments of honest guilt. I might have to go back and read it again because I'm torn between my feeling that this was written in a fairly quick burst of impassioned thought and the feeling that it was written as methodically as the build-up of the characters within. Perhaps both. Great work, Carson. I look forward to reading more of your work.

glorious.

A haunting portrayal of the helplessness that too often comes with being in love.

Not only was that sexy, but also beautiful. I could picture it in my head like a movie. I'm all touched now.

I just hope I learn to write as well as you do!

I kept waiting for there to be some kind of twist or something that would offset the sheer selfish evil of the narrator. The idea that an adulterer could ever be trusted again, or find happiness is very questionable. Why you thought any of your schmaltz loving readers would like a story of betrayal, is beyond me.

...finding both lover and savior. Beautifully written.

I could feel the ache.

Should have been 100 below....would have given more than that if I could.

Should make the scale 1,2,3,4,5...then carsonshepard. I don't think anyone else would receive that one. You are the best I've ever read. I've felt compelled to leave a comment on almost all of your stories, and am crushed to find myself at the end. Please continue to write. ~R

I really enjoyed your story thank you for sharing :)

This was totally awesome. I seriously love this one. It's going on my favorites list.

This story is really, really good. You described the emotions - the longing - of the protagonist perfectly. I love reading stories that are sizzling hot, but with depth. This one had it all. I'll definitely be reading more of your work.

This was wonderful! are you going to write a sequel?

I read this months ago but felt I needed to read it again and its just as wonderful as the first time. I know its been years since you wrote this, but it would be just fantastic if you continued it to what happened when he went to England. Please consider a part 2 :)

cheers, Marie

Loved it! Rich with emotions. I've experenced the lure and unbeleavable connection with another online...and he's a Scot...the ties to 'real life' that cause pause and the conditions you place on a meeting. Beautifully written. Thank You!

A thing of beauty, really ! Congratulations! No other author I know can combine such erotic degree to such soul deep feelings. A work of art, for short !

The emotion was so convincing and raw. Incredible job on this story.

You are so frigging good!! That was one of the best!!

There should really be a sequel. Or at least a prologue. Just a little more, please??

where's the chapter 2? :) please please pretty please? :)

I loved that Chris admitted his true feelings to himself throughout their time together and that he admits them to Connor as well.

This was perfect. No chapter two or epilogue is needed.

This was beautiful. I really, really, REALLY hate cheaters, but I actually liked this story. I hope Chris and Conor live happily ever after together. Love is so beautiful, and anybody lucky enough to find that special person should do damn near anything to keep him/her. I give this story 5 stars.

Would love to read more. Well written. The BEST I have read in a long time.

I REALLY want you to continue the story. Would be great to see how it turns

out. PRETTY PLEASE!!!!

Would love to read more. Well written. The BEST I have read in a long time.

I REALLY want you to continue the story. Would be great to see how it turns

out. PRETTY PLEASE!!!! Wondering as well, why you haven't written anything

in a while? You are a really good writer....

This is absolutely amazing. The way you write; your voice is fantastic. Would love to read more about these two. Please continue.<3

Absolutely beautiful. The ending made me cry, not gonna lie. Please, please continue.

But damn, this was a passionate story. Like how Chris thought a one-off would cure his lust but it only made him decide to give up his whole life to be with Conor. Would've liked to read Steven's side of the story too.

...and my Englishman. Only, he didn't wait for me. He married another woman. Life sucks...

You told this one very well!

the idea of cheating makes me sick... but hot damn boy if that isn't the best thing i've ever read!

Now i'll go grab my man of six years and screw him senseless. we still have furnace fire.

Well written, but why does it have to be based on infidelity? I'm not hoping he's gonna have great sex, I'm hoping his dick is gonna fall off - ruins the story a bit, yes?

Please tell me there is more? Kinda crappy to end it this way.

Am not going to vote on this one, I don't know why I feel so conflicted about the whole thing. The creation is beyond perfect but the story feels too much like what happens I.R.L for my comfort. You are a totally awesome writer and I love your stories including this one. I know I'd be crashed emotionally if you wrote this from Steve's P.O.V but I am sure I'd be stubbornly biased and love that version better than this one. I like Connor though I can't help but dislike Chris...okay, done hating you Carson....

i wish we got the second part of this. Do they get together? Do they make it work?

I'm almost glad there isn't another story concerning these two. I'm afraid that reality would hit Chris either before he left or after he was with Conor and he'd realize that he couldn't do it anymore; that it was too hard.

But this way, this way I get to imagine MY ending...

Conor checks his phone as soon as he lands and is shocked but beyond ecstatic that Chris is coming to him. He immediately sends a reply back and within a few weeks time Conor is meeting Chris at the airport. They reunite like long lost lovers...and they live happily ever after.

Yep...that's what happens. *sigh* In this story, love does conquer all.
