Oh, your story rocked! I've been wondering if you were going to post anymore anytime soon. About time! I was eager to know what happened next! Good going! I loved your story and I hope you post more of the like!
I was beginning to think we'd never see the rest of this story. I loved it from the first; the romance and the passion. It reminded me of those historical romance bodice rippers.
I know that it says "The End", but please, can you do an additional chapter to their story? Like what happens when the baby comes? I don't want the story to end--I like the characters too much.
p.s. What about Luc and his runaway bride?
I so enjoyed this story and found it a refreshing erotic romance in the genre of the good old historical romances and so much better than what is usually in the category of nonconsent/reluctance. I think this was one of those stories that had true appeal to the female readers who want strong, heterosexual, old-fashioned erotic romance. I, too, would love to see more of this tale, or maybe just more from the author!
The only comment I would make is to watch your 'him/her'....when you edit, make sure you remember who is doing the talking or action...there were a few of those grammaric mistakes. Otherwise a really well-written and exciting tale!
I could go on and on... But I've already told you how much I love your writing. ;)
I've been checking your page religiously for the third installment of this story. It was everything I had hoped for :) You paint a wonderful tale, and I cant wait to read more of your work... so please keep writing!
Thank you, thank you!!!
I have become addicted to your writing, and the wait has been excruciating, but I suppose good things sometimes take awhile.
Excellent! I've truly enjoyed this story above any others on this site. I love the intensity and unpredictability. Yours isn't a cookie-cutter story! James' character was particularly alluring, considering how he couldn't be vulnerable and how his emotions where so overwhelming that they came out in an inappropriate and aggressive way.
I love the dialogue when Emma's trying to dissuade James from marrying her/refusing his offer of marriage. I'm a sucker for really good dialogue, probably because I'm so talkative. Yours is really good, although Emma's denial of James' feelings seems a bit strange. It's just one of those 'well, duh!' things. I suppose the guy 'raped' her though. This is quite historical romance-ish (wish is VG since I have a weakness for historical romances) and heroines in them tend to not realise the feelings for the terrifically gorgeous and rich love interests who are also good in bed.
Your writing is excellent! James and Emma are wonderful characters. The intensity of James character makes him very hot and the dialogue between them is very sexy. Please continue to write more stories!
Please don't tell me this is the end. It can't be! I want more!!!
oh, it was the most romantic ending! i absolutely loved it and all of your writings. I started to read the regency one, but don't like the 18year old bride acting like they are 25. If you can, please make your next heroine older than the guy. I have been waiting and watching for you to write more. I am so sure that you do this professionally. You really should submit a story to Avon. I would pay 6.99 per book to read what you create. It is soooo amazing!!!
Was worth the wait... for last month i was checking the page reularly for updates and was one of the first to read it.. LOVED IT.... but i dont want this to end so abruptly... i want to see how the families will react to their relationship... this issue needs to be resolved..and what happens when they get married and have a child... plz altleast one more continuation to the story.. i think most readers will agree with me..
Really wished the ending was longer. Lovely, as usual... I've been waiting for this for, like, forever. It was on my fave list even before it was released xD
Keep writing, anyhow. I'm looking forward to more of your stories. :) Rock on.
This was the first I've read of your work, and I was so impressed that I felt compelled to let you know how much I enjoyed the story of James and his love. A story with characters so vivid and capable of worming their way into the reader's heart would be a great building block for a classic romance novel. I hope you continue writing, because I can't wait to see what else you put out there!
James is just so alluring, the dialogue, as mentioned before, is fantastic, I'm in love with your stories and in love with James.. if only he was real, please write more! It's so sad to see this story end!
Awwwwwwwww! I loved the earlier two installments and I was happy to read this one. YAY!!!!!
Loved all of the installments of "Love...and Love Intensely" One comment though: towards the end of the third installment, was Emma drunk? If so, why? She is pregnant and doesn't alcohol affect the fetus dangerously especially during the first trimester? If somebody could clarify this for me I would greatly appreciate it. Other than that, the story was fabulous.
this story deserved a 6 even if the laungage was a little old fashioned. maybe thats just me, common as muck an such.
Even so a nice mix of story and sex something to read not just use as foreplay
Both you and wishfulthinking are my fav. writers on this site! Aboslutely fantastic, you got talent girl! Wow! Umm keep it going I love reading your stuff! Mwah!
What a wonderful story. Emma?s emotional turmoil brought tears to my eyes and James? mysterious personality was amazing. Very well done!
Compelling and vivid is right. Particularly for James. Emma was well done as well. None of the characters were stock characters, I'd say. But DAMN... I truly dispised the characters! How CAN women fall for despicable rapists like James? And Emma grated at my nerves with her deceitful acts to everyone. And then there was her spineless brother and Luc. There is no hero or heroine in this story. James and Emma's is bound to end up with James abusing her and their son. Its quite clear that James quite capable of resorting to violence. He's fucked up, man, totally... but yet, I have to say that this is one of the best written stories I've read here... love and hate...now look what you've done, you've turned me into James!
actually, that's not quite right...more like Emma. Your story is like a James to me. :)
Beautiful, the inner turmoil in Emma was so well described! Amazingly and beautifully written! I smiled, cried, and came so many times :) Geezus. You are one of my favorite authors..Keep up the outstanding work :)

Mm, nice, fine, etc. Except the Kyrianne excuse? Really lame, it could have been much better.
Mm, nice, fine, etc. Except the Kyrianne excuse? Really lame, it could have been much better.
I really like romantic, happy endings. Just wish the story wasn't over. Very good, very nice...once again, thanks for the very worthy read...and hey, more! Lol.
This is the first story, (on the net,) that has held my attention. I was rivited from begining to end, and this isn't the type of story I would normally take an intrest in. Hell, what I'm trying to say is; "KEEP IT UP!"
Congrats on writing such a captivating story. I loved all three parts and wish there was more, much more! This has been far and away my favorite story (on Literotica) so far. There was such passion between James and Emma, so much sensuality, that it hardly seemed a non-consent story at all - but it was such a story, and I love how you captured Emma's thoughts. I really wish there was another chapter to read. Bravo.
MS you have written a winner of a tale. I add to the list of superlitives that others have written. Will keep reading your efforts every chance I get
It took a while but when I read "bodice tearing", I realized the sexed up satire it was. What I thought was just poor writing turned out to be good satire.
you haven't had the urge to write. But you're doing the world a diservice when you can write something with the heat and emotion and power that you've given this. Not to write more would be ever so selfish to those of us who enjoy what you can do. Great job.
this was exactly what i wanted to read, to feel. ur words have put to paper what i know many people yearn for.
it was the most satisfying read - and my fantasy.
Write more! Pllleeeaaassseee write more. I'll beg if you want me to!
Ok, not only did you write one of the hottest, sexiest stories I've ever read, I actually loved the story for itself!! I still would have loved it(well, maybe I would have been a little disappointed..) if there was no sex at all! Just a super-amazing brilliant story..Seriously well done!!
What wild situations with amazing emotional roller coaster. Perfectly done.
But since I just now read this story, here is my comment. I liked the series pretty much. There was a little too much running away, and then listlessly lying around on the heroine's part. It got annoying. Especially hearing about the mess her apartment was - ewww gross.<br><br>
Sex scenes were hot. They obviously both like it rough and wild.<br><br>
Detracted 25 points for having your pregnant heroine go out and get stinking drunk. Not erotic, not sexy, and most definitely not smart.
This is by FAR The best story I have read online!!! Keep up the great writting!
Wow! This story was so good, so hot, so satisfying. You are a great story teller.
I loved this! Really hot sex plus a very emotionally satisfying story. Keep up the good work!
This is by far the best story on this site! I'd love to see a continuation into their marriage!
you jumped from a rich woman in love and dumped to one living in slums where your story becomes jumbled, the smoothness gets fractured.
That was such an awesome story!
So sweet! The ending made me so happy and jumpy!
Such a sweet story and ending.
Love the characters too!
Absolutely loved it!
I really loved this story. I thought it was very well writen! The story was very intriguing. I hope I find more stories like this on this site.
I agree with the "continuity" comment below. Plus, I'm surprised more people didn't comment on the drinking while pregnant aspect of your tale. WTF? A disappointing last chapter.
This is an incredible well written story. It is smooth and so very erotic. The best story I have read on this site!
Great story. The twin switcharoo aspect intrigued me. I was a bit put out by the drinking and pregnancy though. FAS is a VERY serious thing. Other than that, I really enjoyed the story.
I enjoyed the story and the elements of reluctance on Emma's part, but found James's attitude regarding her being his possession rather infuriating and I have to say that I was hoping for him to learn that lesson by the end. I loved the fact that throughout the story Emma refused to say that she was owned by him, because no person is an object to be owned, even if it my feel that way through love. In a loving relationship there has to be mutual respect and trust and I did not see James showing any genuine respect for Emma at any time during the story. So I found it frustrating that James did not learn by the end that in reality you can never own another human being, because you can control their body but in the end not their will and soul. Possessing someone through love is not really possession, even though we often equate the two. I'm sorry, I've gone on a bit more of a rant than I intended, but you left me really frustrated with James! lol Anyway, best of luck to you. With a little more refinement, you could be writing novels, methinks.
I love this story...wish it would happen to me...love to be dominated by a guy who is very intense in nature and demanding...not many men out there like that!!! hope you write another one just like it....it's a turn on!!
It reminded me of this story called The Devil's Embrace. Since that book I have not found anything near that good. And now I have.
Brilliant, hot, passionate, dark and completely savage and forbidden, this story rocked.
This is my second time reading this story. and l loved every min of it. thanks
I love this story. I just finished reading it for the 3rd time. I hope to see something new from this author soon.
All my favorite aspects of trashy romance and rape/seduction, not sadomasochism but forced seduction, absolutely loved the whole story, great read!!!
I read this story a couple of years ago and I keep coming back to read it again. Love...and Love Intensely is like a romance book, times ten. The intensity is incredible and I really wish you would continue Emma's and James' story.
I have read these stories numerous times, and each time I am still delighted by the passion!
even though emma drove me crazy by her needless denial. why the hell is she so stupid and james such an asshole? its for lack of a better term infuriatingly addicting to read!
person who thinks it was weird that she got drunk when she was pregnant??
I almost stopped reading when I thought he was a cheating bastard. But I'm glad I didn't! Thanks for the great ending to an even greater story.
Wow this is a great story! I loved it from the start; when I read the last line, I couldn't stop smiling :D
dbergen no I thought it was strange too no matter how far along she was but I'm surprised that that's the end--- I wanted more :(
I so enjoyed this read! :) This was my first time reading anything by ms_girl23. Perhaps, I will seek out more of her writings.
... for this fantastic read! I really enjoyed your use of language and the characters you drew, Jame's dominance and Emma's ambivalence being convincing (!) and skillfully balanced.
Enjoyed but rather abrupt ending. Would have been nice to have an epilogue of their life a few months later
It's really really amazing can you do another one like it?
I've read it twice :D
Although the fact that she drinks when she's pregnant is..........
Am I reading this right? She gets drunk while pregnant? Absolutely killed the story, sorry.
What kind of an idiot gets flattened while pregnant? I mean really. Sorry, but while the story was good, her getting drunk while pregnant just ruined it for me.
this was the BEST story i have read so far
i just wanted to read it over and over again great job on this story
I agree with a lot of people. This was brilliant apart from the fact she got drunk whilst pregnant. Not cool.
The games girls play.........
Not happy about drinking whilst pregnant - but - once should not be a problem ?
Hope he takes her out of that grot of an apartment - IMMEDIATELY !!
Helluva story - thanks for writing it.
I loved the intensity and the Victorian style of your piece. Moreover, the characters were interesting and believable. I do, however, find it strange that you received so many comments about her getting drunk while pregnant, but very few about rape, sex without condoms, abortion, or any of the other difficulties that your characters deal with. You paint an excellent picture of flawed humans fumbling to find each other while battling their pride. Well done.
I loved every bit of it. Also, for those so upset about drinking while pregnant, the body's tolerance for alcohol lowers significantly so its possible to get wasted on one 8 oz glass of wine. Think of the time frame of the story, I doubt she got trashed on something like vodka or tequila. At least she wasn't on drugs. It's just fiction, enjoy it.
it was great, and by the way, Emma is a BITCH.. she doesn't know what she wants and is confusing herself. thankfully James was strong willed enough to deal with her.
when i just found out that i was pregnant right after my husband had died, i drank myself silly twice in shock. i love how these characters have flaws!!!!!!
I'm guilty of never leaving feed back. I read this last night and had to come back this morning to rate it and tell you I LOVED IT! Great story!
Ummm, why is she drinking when she's pregnant? And why isn't anyone mentioning that at all?
It's only recommended you not drink - not a rule. And it's not stated what she drank, but i doubt she downed a bottle of vodka. Also, consider her state of mind. She was stressed out facing a seemingly impossible situation. She needed it to help deal. Lastly, you can have a certain amount of alcohol up until the third trimester, preferably wine. As it was stated, she wasn't showing yet. It's fiction, remember that.
Third time reading through, loved it even more!
sweetdreamz07 you're kind of a piece of crap. You do not drink, at all. ever. even one drink markedly increases the risk of fetal alcohol syndrome. You do not drink, especially to the point of getting trashed as our terrible heroine was when you're pregnant. period.
cute and sweet and sexy! (except for the bit about 'one last hurrah', because pregnant women should not drink!!!)
It is actually recommended that a pregnant woman have a glass of wine a night while pregnant. A glass. It helps keep them relaxed. FAS, or Fatal Alcohol Syndrome, is when the woman abuses alcohol, and gets stupid drunk. Every. Single. Night during pregnancy.
I didn't agree with the ending of the story, however like stated above, this is a work of fiction people. Meaning it is fake. You don't go and sleep with a wolf for "non-human/were wolf" stories. Do you?
So sit back, read the damn stories, rub a few off, and move on.
love this story. Every few years I re-read it and it is just as good as the first time I read it. Thanks for a great tale. … And for all of you that have made comments about Emma’s drinking while pregnant, please remember this is fiction and not an endorsement to become an alcoholic. I don’t believe for one second, she was drinking every night – just that night to drown out her sorrow.
to the previous idiot anonymous commentator
one drink is enough to damage your baby let alone getting shitfaced. this story, while hot, was most definitely either a condoning of a) complete ignorance b) fetal alcohol syndrome, with nothing in between.
this was very bad form from the author and a condoning catastrophic behaviour.
One glass? Are you fucking kidding me you mongoloid?
-No- alcohol is recommended. None. Zip. What is wrong with American education these days?
I absolutely loved this story, I found all three chapters to be brilliantly written, even if i did find Emma's weakness slightly annoying at times. But in respone to some of the comments written regarding Emma getting drunk while pregnant, I am going to come to the defence of the author. Although we all know now in 2014 that any alcohol can cause damage to the unborn foetus, this story was written back in 2004. 10 years ago. People's thoughts on alcohol consumption while pregnant were very different, especially in countries such as England where this story was held. So please don't get narcky at the author over this scene in the story. Just remember that times have changed since the story was written and if the story were to be written now this scene probably wouldn't have been put in.
Yeah, i understand this is some folk's fantasy
and it was reasonably well written...
But james is a rapist, deceiver and pushy, selfish ass.
That sort of behavior is inexcusable and she'd have been justified
in shooting him in the nuts.
Liked the build up and the twin brother aspect twist. All in all a good story.
Think a lot of previous commentators mis-interpreted James' character saying he was a rapist. I think MS-Girl was trying to show through words the fierce intensity of his love for Emma who drove him to distraction with her continued denial of her true feelings towards him. Both had pride and did not want to give in first to each other.
I mean why would a rapist want to marry the woman he is abusing? Doesn't make much sense.
Also there are many people who come on to Lit and click on stories which are clearly categorized and then once they have read them in full feel guilty because they have been turned on by what they have read. So to justify their guilt and forbidden feelings they leave nasty comments........just saying!
It is so simple stick to the categories that don't offend you.
Well done ms_girl23
