simply beautiful, every bit as beautiful as Kate herself. Erotic, romantic, sensuous, emotional, glorious and, of course, beautiful. Thank you for brightening this lonely woman's afternoon :)
My heart broke for Kate in the beginning, but she got everything she deserved. Steph was an awesome character as well. Great story! ~ L
It was different in a really good way. 5 stars in my opinion. Thanks for sharing. Please keep up the good work.
What a great storyline. How many times have we all judged a book by it's cover? Loved it and the characters. Not sure if the story line lends itself to a second chapter but it would be nice to see how this relationship evolves onto something much more. Hhhhmmmm sex on a sunny Sunday in the garden, sounds like a story in its self.
Oh I just loved this story. The moment I read that Steph was at her doorstep while she was dealing with the delivery man I was like "Oh god! Oh no!" and doing the cover-up-the-next-paragraph maneuver as I shyly read on. But when I read that she was from Saving Face I knew I would love the story. It was so sweet and fabulous. :]
Excellent usage of irony throughout the piece as well :) I should be honest and tell you that I stayed up reading this and it's now nearly 12:30am and I need to be awake by 4am for work. <- that's a compliment, not a complaint. :D
Keep them coming!
Brilliant,moving,emotional,moving,emotional,it was if I was there,full of sympathy for the recluse,doing that at the moment,but a brilliant ending,perhaps I
Aww, poor Kate.. I'm glad that she found someone to love her even with her disfigurement. What drives people to mutilate and abuse others?.. >.<
A truly captivating story, sensitive, compassionate, generous, lovely. It takes a truly nice person to think like that, Thank You.
I wasn't sure where this story was going from the title and the beginning, was it all going to be fantasy in Kate's mind or what.
When Steph came in and expressed her affection and acceptance of her appearance it was just so sweet.
Keep up the good work!
I had read this before I joined Literotica, really enjoyed it.
Now that I've joined I wanted to comment because I HATE anonymous comments, LOL!
It was every bit as wonderful as I remembered, got a little misty reading the last couple of pages.
I know Kate is no longer writing her journal, maybe you could re-visit them in a third-person story?
I'll be burning through the rest of your stories!
...and five star great at that. A lovely, warm story illustrating what can be achieved by the human spirit. A small bit of carping---I felt that it ended just a little too abruptly. Perhaps another page length could have ended the story more smoothly. And perhaps a bit of good editing to get rid of some of the bloopers (most of which seem to be with homonyms). Whatever, it's good to have a writer like you on this site.
Cat - I wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your work. I think I rated everything a 5 Star!
I love the way you develop your characters so efficiently and well. (I like efficient)! Your use of language is exquisite and adds to the sensuality of the story.
My favourite is Sian and Joss' story, but I loved them all! Thank you!
I am now going to work through YOUR list of favourites! Thank you!

I've been working my way through your stories, some for the first time, some for the umpteenth time, but one thing I know, I love 'em all! Thank you for sharing them with us, and please continue writing!
such a lovely tale of someone finding love after a traumatic ordeal.
loved it all
I'm out of words. I reaaallllyyyyy love the story, the characters, everything! I love it I'm sooo speechless.
Just simply brilliant but I hope, like one of the characters, you don’t stop writing but carry on allowing many others to enjoy your talent.
This was the first story I've read of yours and I'm mentally kicking myself for not discovering it sooner. I absolutely love reading stories that step outside the box of what I call 'two coeds deciding to get their freak on'. You've got real characters with real situations and dare I say, a real connection. Very deserving of five stars.
I THOUGHT THAT YOUR STORY WAS SUBLIME! THE SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR CHARACTERS MADE THEM ALL THE MORE BELIEVABLE. YOUR STORY SHOWS CONSIDERABLE TALENT AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE HUMAN PSYCHE. YOU SHOULD TRY TO WRITE ON A PROFESSIONAL BASIS. THIS WAY YOU CAN RECEIVE COMPENSATION OTHER THAN FROM A FAN LIKE MYSELF. GOOD LUCK!!!
You're not afraid touching highly sensitive aspects of the human being and turning it into a wonderful fantastic love story ........ Absolutely excellent ....... Congrats
Wonderful to be able to write such a fantastic story around such a difficult subject. Definitely reading more of your stories, thank you.
The lack of dreams is very sad.
I am glad you put one great dream in Kate's head.
And that Steph chose to make it come true.
Wow i felt that, you have a way with words. I bet you could write an entire story without sex and it wouldn't be miss
Yet again you have written a lovely story about nice people meeting and falling in love, not just lust!
I've now read all your stories and have enjoyed them all!
I will read them again but please publish some more!
Thank you!
