I like what I see so far, the story is definitely moving along pretty well and I'm anxious to see more chapters.
Very much enjoying the tale. Looking forward to the snake in the grass getting his head chopped off.
You tell a great tale, like telling stories at a fireside.
Keep it up
for writing the story first and then publishing it on successive days! So much better than writing a story a chapter at a time and then making readers wait for sometimes MONTHS to read the next chapter. Keeps the interest and the memory of the story fresh.
I have one small observation, though.
Although women can visualize themselves as being willing to see past the ugly facade into the beautiful interior of a man, I don't think it happens quite that way. I've known men who were intelligent, accomplished, kind, and... well, overweight, or of only medium stature, or of only so-so looks, and truthfully the women never saw past their physical shortcomings. They were lonely men, and even women who were no great shakes themselves wouldn't give them the time of day.
In short — the notion that your main character Allen, beaten, scarred and ugly, would appeal to these young, beautiful women needs a certain suspension of disbelief!! HAHA!
Nevertheless, a rousing tale; intense, with sympathetic characters that I look forward to reading each day. Thanks for going to all of the effort that it takes to write a short novel length story!

You have created a wonderful story and your ability to provided needed details without going overboard is wonderful. I love the story and can't wait to see how this all plays out...with all parties involved - kids, girlfriend's, ex-wife and friends.
I also like that the story is done - with new chapters coming out daily. I setting my alarm 30 min earlier so I can read the next chapter before I start my day!
is that I started reading when it was only half-finished, and now I have to wait for the next installments. Well done, having legitimate story reasons to string out the suspense.
Must say, I've not seen this before but this chapter is great and I will read the whole series. And I'll keep my eye on this talented author. 5*s
SUPERB story! Will be on tenterhooks waiting for the next instalment(s).

Hurry I just read it all this morning and I had no idea it wasn't finished. I hate waiting. Don't drag me out too long
The conflict elements continue and we do not know whether he wants Jenny or Ann?
Whether Derek was really the moving force. Even whether Ann is innocent. Lots of fun still ahead for us!
Such an enjoyable and absorbing read. Enough said. Onto the next chapter.
I know I say a lot of negative comments, but I think they go where they belong. This story is not one of them.
A really great yarn, well told and well written. Just a few silly mistakes which is allowable, unless you are perfect like me. :)
Just felt I had to leave a comment as this story is too good and I hated that no-one had commented.
I like this story, but I keep finding Allan to be a quite despicable character in the way he has previously treated his children and in how he is currently treating his ex-wife, or I should say - the blame he is hurling on her for being obviously duped by Derek. I mean, it's FUCKING OBVIOUS. It was obvious by like chapter 2 or chapter 3. I know that this is somewhat a limitation of the story teller here, but it rankles me that everyone has been so thick until they had solid evidence. Oh well, I guess we'll be able to go, "FINALLY YOU THICK IDIOT!" when he finds out the truth.
