All Comments on 'Two Years Later'

Great story. Well written. thanks

Believable every step of the way, human nature with unique personalities can be wonderful and you portrayed them here very well. The good, the bad and the almost ugly that turned around for the better.

Keep them coming!

5*

Nicely romantic, beautifully done.

Welcome back! I get so excited when I see your name in the new stories section. Glad to have you back! It's a shame to be without your talent for such a long a time, and you better believe I read both of your new stories (5's for both). This story was absolutely sweet. The interaction with his family was a riot. I would have loved for you to have expanded on that a little more, but make no mistake they way that you weaved your tale was beautiful and hot as hell.

Thank you from silver766

I really liked you story. You manage to push all the right buttons within me.

1st love is always shared with true devotion, TK U MLJ LV NV

Normally I don't read more than two pages but this was really worth it.

Interesting story, but.... the main character is an idiot....

Not for the two years, not for traveling, not for what most would say....

He slept with a woman whose engaged... and now at the end that seems to be the path the author is heading down....

Sorry any guy stupid enough to sleep with an engaged woman, and then pursue a relationship with her deserves what he gets when she later fucks someone else and tells him "we did it, so what does it matter"....

I simply see this as the opener for a loving wives part two lol.

3/5

A good story, in need of a lot of editing!

I loved the family dynamic - perfectly handled.

The storyline was well done, and the characters well developed - in spite of themselves!

Bravo!

As the page 4 started it has been anticipated Olivia would be making a sudden appearance. A very good story narrated very well. Hope the same trend is put in the author's other works as well - yet to be read.

eom

It doesnt have perfect characters. The family dynamics are well projected.

And it's not drawn out. The author knows where there's a need for elaboration and where to stop.

Good!

A real good story

5*

sometimes you just have to follow your heart and do what you have to do and he did just that but could so easily have blown it by leaving her like that.....fortunately she realised she needed him too and followed her heart....the banter between the family was funny but all's well that ends well...loved it a heart warming story of love conquering all......

Playing their damn Games - devious little minxes......LOL

I enjoyed this read as much as any other story in the genre, perhaps more because I'm sentimental. I hope you continue writing and thanks.

An excellent story, just plain excellent. What more can be said.

Love your work and this is one of the best.

Just Wow.

Thank you....

I'm addicted to this story. Every now and then i'll come back and read this just to get the endorphins zipping through my body. It has heart, a fairy tale plot, and just the right amount of steamy. Writemor.......pls

It was only two years since they were together last. Their shared memories and 'what could have been' between these two finally caught flame and made a wonderful romantic story. Boy loves girl--boy loses girl--boy gets girl again. It doesn't get any better than that.

Thanks for posting.

Excellent! Please write chapter 2!

Thank you!

I do hope that you have a follow up story about them.

... great romance from JoeDreamer.

I simply love this story. Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes and this writer reminds me of truth. Love needs to be revealed even if it's impossible.

There are a handfull of really great authors on this site, you sir are one of them.

stopped reading when he left with a note. hate when authors do that. just let them have a fucking talk!

He travels half the country to see her but when he is this close to win her... he leaves without even hear what she thinks? Who is that stupid?

To the critics, let's say that when you find yourself in love with the one true love. I just hope you don't stuff up yours and their life going by the crap you feel and write . (Get a life it's a good story. It is fiction love you all

an anonymous who posts that they like the story. So this one will by saying he is glad he found it again. Loved the dialog, the family interactions.

Insightful, humorous, wonderful story

and then you are in your 60s. TK U MLJ LV NV

1. The family was nosy and annoying as fuck.

2. He wasn't even bothered by the fact that she was still engaged to someone else before having sex with her and then...

3. ... he bailed on her like the coward he is.

What really gets my goat is the general vibe that cheating is okay as long as you're not the one on the receiving end.

There are far better stories than this that deserve to be in the hall of fame.

How can you say she cheated? She found her true love and broke up with her fiancé. She wasn't married to the guy and she didn't love him so stop saying that she cheated.

Cheating wives epilogue of this story

Romance?

eat shit annony

I haven't read this for quite a while. Don't know if it's two years but it's been a long time. I have had health issues and am feeling all my years but I would wake up thinking of Olivia waking up to find him gone. Needs some editing but the story idea is strong and I really enjoy finding it again. It's hard to locate stories from a long time ago. I didn't remember the author. I'm sorry. I like several of your stories. This was a pleasure to read again and again. Thanks for writing it and feeling the way you did. Glad you were able to let me share.

fuck story into a love story .. hmmm - OK!

It would be interesting to visit them again

two years later

could two factions ever make the right decisions, TK U MLJ LV NV

It is a bit unrealistic, but an enjoyable and fun read.

Signed, A hopeless romantic

Great read, when is part 2 going to be written? This story is too good to stop here. I hope u continue it.

Isn't this why they call this....FICTION!!!!!

Ugh...I hate romances where a fiance is cheated on and dumped but were NOT supposed to hate the character that did it. Really don't get why it is so prevalent in the genre. It's not really a story they are going to be able to tell their grandkids.

The fact that none of his family had an issue with it(including his married brother and his sister who had been dropped cold by her husband) just seemed weird. I kept expecting someone to say, "Hey do we really want out beloved baby brother to get involved with a woman who would sleep with another guy when she's engaged?"

I've enjoyed other works by the author, but this one was a definite miss for me.

"To thine own self be true ..."

Outstanding work with great twists. Have someone review your spelling.

A great love story.

I reread this story every few months or so. Great characters and love the little twists.

This is a story of hope and faith. We all have that one person who flips all the switches. Our brains get in the way of our heats sometimes. Ive read this 4 times and brings me up from a bad day. Thank you.5

DAMN I love this story. The guy gets shot down, in flames, crashes and burns. But then, like the Phoenix he rises up out of his own ashes, and ends up getting the girl after all. The love of his life. If that’s not romantic I don’t know what is. The same thing happened to me once. All except for the part about rising from the ashes and getting the girl. I guess the ashes of my first true love are still mingled with the dust in the high desert of southeastern New Mexico. Ah, well. Can’t win ‘em all. Thanks, JoeDreamer, for a great story.

That was such an amazing story. I’m a hopeless romantic and this story just touched me so deeply. I’m a little sad that it ended and that I’m almost finished reading all your stories. You have a real talent !!

always gives me hope. 5

I read it when I need to feel good again. I'm a hopeless romantic never returned, but stories have helped me.

this will end well, not uo to your usual at all.

I’m rereading this story .. what number of times I can’t remember.. one of my favorites.. like others have commented, I too am a hopeless romantic and this story just makes me feel great ... thanks !

Family or not, I wouldn't want to live within 100 miles of them. N and O will never have a moments peace as people who think they should have some sort of control over their lives butt in whenever they feel the urge. God forbid he ever tell one of them something he didn't want them all to know. Uggh, Arlene's the only smart one.

One of the best stories I have read in a long time ( and for the third time in a row, now).

I think this may be the place where I go when ever I seem to be having a really bad day.

I see myself as Neil. Well intended; but a little clumsy in the sweet Art of Love.

I really appreciate it when the Neil types come out with a second chance and a rosy future.

Please keep writing!

As I reread this wonderful love story for the second time it was so much better than the first. The story was well written and had a storyline that just drew you in, the characters just came alive and put you in the middle of each character interaction as they appeared in the story. Even though every indication in this story portrays a happily ever after, a 2nd chapter about that would be wonderful. 5+++ stars again

It's a great story and I have read it twice. Definitely a five star 🌟👍🌟👍🌟👍🌟👍🌟👍

As humans we reserve the right to cause massive fuckaroos then again we also get to chase our other halves down to make things right. I did too so I guess the take away note for me is to chase my wife down and make up when she is clearly upset and wants some time to herself and might scream my head off, so to us guys I say chase that girl like she is the golden goat, deer or whatever the heck you think she is....

Fantastic. Story. True love 5 star or better. Will there be a sequil ?[ hope so.

Maggie was such a bitch, basically telling him that everything he did was wrong.

Quite frankly the only thing he did wrong was to not move on after sleeping with Olivia. She was awfully quick to cheat on her fiance. Not particularly trustworthy.

great story, fewer grammatical errors than First Love, Last love

re: Olivia cheating on her fiance: She cast aside the fancy ring before fucking Neil, so the engagement to the doctor she didn't really love was kaput as of that moment - doc just didn't know it yet. Let's hope Olivia doesn't meet a more compelling lover later.

A minor unresolved point is where N&O will cohabit. Do they stay near Neil's family business, or Olivia's current, distant hospital?

Great read! Coming from from a family with 5 kids, all outspoken I relate to the analysis and advice. Love can be confusing and the true love described....well that is why love is an emotion.

Thanks for sharing another great story!

DP

First of this author's stories that I have read. Excellent! 5*s.

Yes! Five stars

all characters, especially female in this one are insufferable.

i'm feeling like 'late night conversations' was just fluke. disappointed with this one

Maggie the bitch sister....even her husband made a run for it!!

What a fucking annoying inquisitive family

Great story, great characters and interaction between them, and superb writing that was easy to follow and enjoy!

Obviously, 5/5

His family are fucking annoying and blaming him for how he left Olivia in the hotel is just stupid!! Well good she came to his place

Gosh, Maggie is really a bitch of a sister!!

What an inquisitive bunch.....that us how men becomes wimps and cucks

He is a dumb piece of s***. And darned lucky. Still despite all his mistakes he ends up with the girl. Enjoyed your story and writing. Will read some of your other work now!

Good story, 5 stars with a sweet romance. Wish it had some tags to make finding this easier, got it by going through another authors favs.

To quote a well known film, “He’s a Schmuck”, turning up out of the blue, without a letter, a Christmas/Birthday card, an email, a text or a phone call for 2yrs and you want to pick up where you left off and expect a woman to still love you? Nonsensical and unreal.

great story way to short five

First of all: I like the stoy. Secondly, the reader can learn from it how many of us are affected by some omnipresent cliches not all of which are true in the generalizing way they are often presented. So lets start with the truth that almost everyone advertises emancipation, but mostly in a one sided fashion. If we are to be equal, we should have equal rights, equal obligations and take equal responsibility for our behaviour in the wider sense (so including our verbal communication).

If you judge the main characters keeping the mentioned principles of justice and fairness in mind it's quite ridiculous to heap all the guilt on the guy, especially considering the notion how women generally are more socially intelligent than men. Still, not just in this story, women are more often free to make decision that hardly prove their superiority, without being admonished about it, while men are always chided for their percieved mistakes and shortcomings.

This is not only showing in the way the main characters are judged, but continues with the role the sisters of the main chatacter play. So his older sister chose an asshole as her partner and gets abandoned by him, but still she is the expert, the judge, the referee when it comes to relationships? Bad enough if it is that way in reality. If the "hero" of this tale should have asked somebody for help it was his mom. Quite late in the story Neil even admits to himself that she is the most clever of the lot.

And that's where all of this leads me to. As long as the survival of the family was the most important task of most women, many, not all of them, had superior skills to keep a small group together as a social unit, functioning with as little friction as possible. Of cause a number of men had tasks like leading military units, work groups, political organizations, but the goals and the methods are different.

However, in recent western civilisation the differences in the field of social intelligence are more and more leveling out. I'm not judging, it's just a matter of fact. Many women are career oriented just the same as men, and while there are changes in the social dynamics of working environments, it remains a somewhat different thing than not managing, but lovingly developing a family. There's also much less time left of course to learn from the previous generation and to hone and apply those skills.

My main point remains that a true emancipation can't be a mostly one sided event in the long run. If you want equality both sides will have to part from privileges that were the result of the old ways. Women did and do have privileges, just like men had others, and some people seem to be hell bend on not only keeping them alive, but also on exploiting them for political purposes.

So back to the story, it was the guy who was the romantic, he believed not only in the depth of their relationship, but also in the importance of building a life based on love. He is the one initiating the contact. In a situation like the one described, there is no perfect way to handle things, and if the feelings are mutual and on a comparable level, it shouldn't be an annoyance for the woman to put in some effort too and to realize that she "screwed up" in the past as well as the guy had, if not worse. Without acknowledgement of her own mistakes and responsibilities she will always be the entitled one in the relationship, entitled to make mistakes without consequences, entitled to be demanding devotion and creativity from the partner without investing much herself and so on.

Wonderful story - I really did not see the the ending coming together.

Excellent. so like the idea of a long bus trip on Graduation Day after 2 years apart without even sharing a kiss

Wonderful story - really enjoyed reading it. Did not expect to see it ending well.

Nice story but the guy was too young. It’s ludicrous that a fresh graduate could think he could run an office and do all the finances. He’ll be lucky to find the place every day. Recent graduates are like puppies, cute but useless.

Too great a suspension of disbelief is required: residencies take four or more years, not two - she can't just drop what she's been doing - and she would have been thinking about that on the plan flight

Feeling like one person during a shared orgasm isn't unusual, but that early in their relationship is implausible. It takes a while to become "one flesh"... and that assumes both partners want that. My ex didn't.. I won't speculate as to why, beyond observing that she's an ex.

Amazingly almost all humans are limited by their life experiences. If they have not experienced it or at least have reputable information, it seems impossible. 50+ years as a counselor has taught me all sorts of things ae possible. The author wrote an incredible story. It is fiction, but it is very believable. Well done.

Great entertainment! Thanks

THC

Really enjoyed it.

Nice that it had a happy ending, when so many on here don't.............

Rapier

2nd reading and my 1/2 finished "Saving the Company" rates the same in my view. 5 stars for the later, way higher for this one.

Some authors are just super at telling Romantic stories and bringing us all those special warm feelings and even tears. Thanks Joe!

This story was awesome I wish something like this happen to me but it didn’t the girl I like married and kids by the time I saw her MySpace and Facebook

2nd reading for me because it's so good

Very good story. Only one minor sticky point: she basically dumped him the first time and later when he caught up with her again she cut him off with the engagement so she forfeits the right to be mad at him... SHE is the one with the issues. The way it's written I don't blame the guy for his actions at all. Loved it

(7/2/2023) Wonderful story. Thank you.

A lovely story of love triumphing. Maybe a few little gremlins but nothing to detract from the enjoyment. 5⛤.

Really enjoyed this. Will probably need to reread. The sisters are amazing supporting characters!

2nd reading and this is such a good story

I love this story.

Great 5⭐️ story ,, this needed another chapter or an epilogue to it as to how they are doing ,, how many kids , location and happy ever after stuff
