All Comments on 'A Home for Christmas'

I liked the way you integrated the helping theme into this story. It's a bit wordy and the first page could be tightened a little. But I enjoyed your writing style and the sex was hot!

I've seen a few attempts at incorporating the gulf coast mess into stories,,, they all seemed to be rather weak.

This story though has enough depth of character to be believable.

Very well done,,, yes indeed,,, very well done.

Good luck with the contest.

This story is an extremely well-written blend of the hurricane disaster with the aftermath, the personal tribulations, and the emotions of the Season.

Very apt title! Sweet and heartwarming and romantic. Good luck!

Great job, Jack. Very touching story about love coming after tragedy. Good luck to you.

One of your best stories ever.

You did a great job on this story. The story has wonderful plot development and as someone from Michigan and a wife of a construction worker, I can see this man going down there. The plot line was so well done, as well as the characters. You have told a tale of two needy people who have found each other.

Keep up the great work!

Very romantic and kind! I liked your characters and would like to hear more about them. You gave enough backstory on each of them to get me interested, then fleshed them out so that they seemed real. Good people finding some happiness in a disaster, and bringing some joy to a little girl. Tugged most of the relevant heart strings for me. The sex scenes were well done, any more would have distracted from the story. I didn't want to hear about them moving apart, but then again that's reality and the problem with short stories. Thanks for sharing!

This story should continue. It really intrequed me. and had agreat plot which would be so easy to continue. keep up the great work

very well done, characters were believable and the story moved along nicely

I have read and reread this story. Would love to see a sequel.

You should know that I read these stories in this genre to see what they can convey as far as romance and, hope for the protagonist(s). This was Wonderful!! Thank you for the story and the persons in it. Somewhere there is a person around who will match my wishes. Do this more often,please?

By no means would I consider myself a writer BUT I do know what I enjoy reading and this story was great. I would make a small comment though. You missed an amazing opportunity to paint a picture of them opening and enjoying the presents. I though you drove by this part of the story too fast. Anyhow keep these stories comin

a beautiful and heart-warming story...................but alas, even at this date (12/01/2010) there are still many, many still in that same quandry from that devastating hurricane!!!!!!!!

A truly wonderful story. I truly loved it. Thank you so much for writing it.

Really enjoyed this story.The start of a turnaround for mother, daughter, and the lonely 'instant Santa'. Excellent upbeat story about emotional connection, family, and a rebirth. Gave it a 5!

yeah 5 stars too !! you write so well !

This is the second time around for this one for me. It still reaches into my soul just as much as it did the first time. I agree with earlier comment that the helping theme adds tremendously to the overall story. Overcoming adversity (rather than just a straight jerk story) makes this so much better!

Keep writing as you definitely have a gift.

Excellent story, well written, and HOT!!! I'm one of those old truck drivers, had been through the area just before Katrina hit, then just a few days later, I was bringing supplies down to the area... Was just unbelievable what kind of devastation that was there... Can't even believe that it was the same country... People just can't imagine the kinds of things that went on during the storm unless you saw it for yourself...

Unless you have been through it you can never imagine what it must be like to lose everything due to a hurricane....thankfully she was strong enough to keep going and then found love...really romantic...loved it...

A1 Prime Story............. Perfect............

This has all the makings of a Hallmark Channel movie. Of course it would have to edited for TV and that would take out all the good parts....lol. Truly well done from start to finish.

People just can not understand something like that unless they've seen it first hand... I'm one of those old truck drivers, I pull a refrigerated trailer around this great country of ours... I remember pulling quite a few loads of food, water, and ice down there in the aftermath of Katrina... I will never forget it... Once you've seen it, you just can't forget it...

OK SO WHAT HAPPENED DID THEY STAY TOGETHER DID THEY MARRY . IT SEEMS THE STORY IS NOT FINISHED.

DO YOU HAVE A SEQUEL??

Lascivious fornication on Christmas Eve!

What's the world coming to.

I gave it 4 stars, pretty good story.

An erotic and hopeful Christmas story.

Merry Christmas! (OH, OH, OH, O my God, we still in October, two months before Christmas)

5* for you.

I apologize for my English, is not my native language.

I must be a sentimental old man . I cried. 5*

Two lonely souls finding love in the aftermath of a severe hurricane.

And one Month after the events in this story.

"He went back to his paper, looking over the previous day's NFL scores, and shook his head in disgust. The damned Lions were hopeless, he decided. They'd lost again, they'd already fired their coach and they were headed for yet another dismal season." Thanks for the reminder, Mooch was just the latest coach in the continuing long, long list of failures in the Motor City.

But you made up for it with the rest of the story, I thank you for that. Stories like this are not supposed to put tears in the eyes of old men, I can't count the number of holidays and birthdays I spent alone in hospitals or simply alone. We had a number of LEO's and support people in New Orleans after Katrina. The local law enforcement didn't want our feds there, they only wanted the money and stuff, lots and lots of stuff. Signed: BTW

Beautiful!

Can we have more chapters on the future of these people please.

Very sugary but enjoyable. Love happy endings.

Dear Author, Very nice. Thank you for writing this one. I really enjoyed the journey, Definitely

a five star love story. jntiques/john

Everyone needs hope, even better when three people can come together like in this story. I realized that its been 10 years since you posted a story jack, hope that you are still out there somewhere.

Thanks for placing this story in the aftermath of Katrina. I am touched, because I spent 2 weeks as volunteer at a non profit who set up camp in Waveland to help rebuild homes for the most needy, the elderly and a family with a handicapped daughter, who had no insurance and no way to rebuild their homes, so they used volunteers under supervision of a licensed contractor and electrician, to either rebuild or just remodel if the frame was still good and rewire and finish the home so these people could move from their FEMA trailer or return from crashing with family and move back into their homes.

I have seen and heard the destruction and despair up close and personal, so I was touched by the setting of this story. Thank you!

Beautiful love story!

Her Fragrant Gash. Such a romantic fuck. sigh

I have a short list of tales for the season, this is certainly there. Thanks Jack, wherever you are.

Extra star for bush. Bush equals woman

This author is a shitty writer.

I liked the basis of the story, but the time between the screwing and the "I love you", was just a little too quick for my taste. Seeing how much both of them had been hurt previously, it seems it would have taken much more time and learning to trust each other, before the "I love you" came into the picture. Never heard either of them questioning going bare back, being on the pill or any kind of protection. Of course it's just a story, but that base was covered in some of your other stories.

Nice, but there isn't really any nee for pages of details about their normal sex session. It's a story about loneliness and love, and the sex isn't adding anything.
