All Comments on 'Valentine's Day Curse'

Really good romantic story

5* for a great Valentine's theme, and a good, solid story. I enjoyed that.

The characters aren't as likeable as they usually are in your stories, but still a good story

I disagree with Anonymous, I found the characters plenty likeable. Good dialogue, humorous and entertaining story. I feel for the poor sailor, though! XD

Finally! A story that represents the true spirit of Valentine's Day! Romance!

Great job on this story. I was most entertained. Thank you.

I wish I could this story a rating of more than 5 stars. Nicely done plot with very likable characters. The dialog between the two was also fun to read. Thanks for a great story.

Good story.

That was a greatly satisfying read. Plot. Character development. Tension with the protagonists. Wanted more but the ending was what is was meant to be. A score somewhere beyond 5.

I am captivated by this story. The imagination and ability to create this level of literature is impressive. The Plot and characters and development of the story are all superb. I would ask for a sequel, but that might be considered selfish. Your story deserves to win by a cavernous margin. Thanks again

I agree with the general consensus! Great story, fun read! Made me smile at the end!

... that might not have that happy ending on Valentine's Day. Doesn't mean there's a curse, its just means that real life doesn't work that way.

Thanks so much for the great story. You are the best at showing people and their emotions rather than just raw sex. Please keep publishing on the site. You are missed when you go dark for so long.

Sucked me in and made my night. Thank you for sharing such a great story.

But I HATE Valentine's Day. Got married on that day and divorced close to it ten years later. And every year at this time I think about the bitch and how she tried to stick it to me. Luckily, my lawyer was better than hers. But it does nothing to make the day any better. Thanks for the story.

This story NEEDS to be extended.

The ink is down, and questions abound.

Do Rebecca and Mike have The Curse whipped? Does Ginny take the night shift? Does Tina get canned, as she so rightfully deserves? Does Tommy get the help he so badly needs?

All these and more, awaiting the next installment of JoeDreamer's Valentine's Day Contest Winner, "Valentine's Day Curse"!!

for the record, asked my wife out on Valentine's day, 24 years and counting

just ask Derek.

lol

It's a curse until you meet someone after waiting patiently for so long

A great story! Stories should entertain. It makes us think of our own llives and relationships. A very good story will transcend every day life into some place magical. Thanks you for this story.

That poster got THAT right! Great story JoeDreamer and a well deserved first place.

This is one of the best stories I've come across on this site.

I hope to read more of your writing soon :-)

I have you as one of my favorite authors on this site. After this story, probably my favorite. You done good!

Love how you make the characters so realistic. Great story and love how mix humor and being serious so well.

That pretty much sums it up

Great dialogues, lots of laughs, fun read

Well written. Brilliantly conceived. Some of the best character development I've seen. Made me laugh and cry. It wasn't just a sex story. Very believable. Excellent use of show, don't tell. I can see why it won. Can't wait to read more of your work. How's that for professional writing? LOL

Very cool story! I love romance and there is that! Thanks Joe dreamer a pleasure to read! ...10 stars= 100 %. Love you all! Bye. Greg. I am now wondering if there is a curse.

What happened between them???

What a fun progression through an amusing story.

Sweet, but not too sweet. Just the right amount of snarky humor to keep me chuckling throughout. Since I started falling hard for my wife on our first date, I know how it works, and how quickly you know that you've found "the one."

Thanks for a joyful story!

This is one of the best of the hundreds of stories I have read on this site. Sweet, ring of truth throughout, and great humor.

Too much stilted dialogue - real people don't talk like this. Clunky, amateurish prose. Fast and loose with grammar and usage, including a subject-verb disagreement in the summary. Unsympathetic characters - the bar owner and the teacher both had me wanting to put a boot in their asses. The idea of "the Curse" could have been novel, but having "the Curse...the Curse...the Curse" drilled into my eyeballs in seemingly every other paragraph quickly grew insufferable. I don't expect polished writing on Lit, but seriously, this particular story is both sadly lacking and shockingly overrated. Quite an unpleasant surprise considering the author has published many other stories that are much more competently executed than this forgettable scribble.

Don't you dare listen to them. Great story. Keep it up. Some asshole named anoymous keeps messing with the good writers. You're good!

Well written, and I enjoyed reading it very much. There was just this one little thing that really bothered me. After Derrick came into the bar and he and Rebecca had their little reunion hug, Mike knew that they were ‘an item’, so with his feelings hurt he told Rebecca she should leave. Her reply to him was “You’ll get over me soon enough”. What a cold, cutting, shitty remark that was. Especially after she had come on so strong to him earlier in the evening. I think a remark like that would be the absolute end of any possible future relationship. Yeah, that one little sentence kinda gave me second thoughts about the whole story.

I had the same thought as “Anonymous 7/26/19” about Rebecca’s ‘You’ll get over me soon enough’ comment. The remark didn’t seem to fit her character or make any sense as the story played out later. And there was no explanation of it at all. I finally just figured that the author had a brain fart and accidentally left the comment in, even though it obviously didn’t seem to belong there. Other than that I thought it was a very good story.

It would have been great if she had hooked up with him and that navy guy.

Oh man was the last page and a half the dumbest example of shoehorned conflict that I have ever seen. My gods was that... I can't even call it amateur hour. It's so much worse than that. Lol. So so overrated.

my late wife & I were married on Valentine's day she said that way never could never forget our anniv. we had 27 + yrs before she passed.

I loved that story! Thank you for sharing your work.

The innocent bitch was still carrying a torch for Derek dick

why was rebecca such a bitch to him when derek showed up? what a turn off. bet that whore was fucking him in the car before he left

Well, I loved the story and where it went. The comments that the Anons make about Rebecca where just rude, she got blindsided when Derek walked in unannounced and sent him packing. The whole storyline in my opinion flowed well and the main characters handled the drama well. Well done 5-stars

The scene with Emily, the local cop, new teacher and her brother is over dramatic....why make babies and expect others to jump to help you and the bitch sister embarrasses the brother!! Fuck that shit

How was Rebecca blindsided by Derek when she remembered the time they were together and realised she was still in love with him yet forgetting he dumped her!!

Then one kiss from Bar boss changes her mind!! Really stupid. A good story with stupid bits

I read the story, smiling all the way through. An author with a sense of humor, a good story line, believable characters, and a happy ending. Thank you!

another nice love story damn I"m a sucker who can't get enough five

Loved this story but it was over too soon

Very Kawaii und Romantique!

11/10!!!!!

Going from saying she's dating Mike to people to suddenly going googly eyed when Derek turned up, about ready to walk off with him... and then acting coy.

Yeah Mike "fought" but that bit left a strange vibe with me. She turned on a dime there. Felt really sudden. Could have done with some pacing. Like she wanted to hedge her bets and that immediately makes me twitchy.

Other than that bit it was a cracking story!

The comment "you'll get over me." Then she's waiting for him? So, is it love, or pity? Any self respecting guy, upon seeing her leaning on his vehicle, would have said "you were right, I got over you."

This is a good premise, just the execution is a bit off.

The author understands the makings of a good Romantic story and delivers.

Great story, but I'm feeling the need for an epilog.

Yaayy! Fun story! Epilogue?!

Couldn’t finish this one. Got so sick of mc saying curse. Why are so many mc stubborn jackasses in your stories?

Last line made me give it 5 stars great work.

Good story but should have continued....maybe by nwxt Valentine they get married then have kids the following one....this one a 24hr wonder!!

Dick Derek should have felt more pain.....her mother should take him since she gave him her details so readily

Her dialogue with the MC while Derek was there didnt gel....why should the MC get over her!! He should gave let her go to the dick who broke off with her before

Great story. I hope the story continues or has chapters added.

Nice story, but the ending was a little abrupt.
