Engagement announcement dejection
To the opera he’s dragged sans objection
Sudden fuck, desperate passion
Insane public fashion
Love revealed spares him not her rejection
I'm tremendously impressed by the detail: New York, surgery, history. And always a page-turner. A real joy to read!
A good read. The story arc is imaginative and creative. This writing style is consistent with the time period depicted, and its uniqueness on this site makes the story stand out. More please, and consider varying your style to show us your versatility.
One more! :)
Her love his heart’s frenzy does whip
But her bargain yields to her aunt’s grip
His mentor did conspire
To make his future less dire
And let the lovers elope on the ship.
Such a top class tale, the pace and build up, just the right amount of angst, wonderful characters and very believable. Thank you so much for the effort and sharing it with us
Loved this story! The mystery, suspense, history, and eroticism all combined into a masterful work. Great job!
Complete fucking bullshit........... what a wasted story, lacks integrity on the part of the writer.
Thanks to all for reading and for the feedback. To the person who emailed the brilliant poem they wrote --- including rhyming 'Herregud' --- I tried to reply with my appreciation but the email address didn't work.
Very engaging story. You obviously researched turn-of-the-century New York and medical knowledge at the time. I know the denouement may have been a bit contrite, but this was a romance after all, and a happy ending is generally expected. I have no problems with the ending as I enjoy a happy ending as much as the next person.
I errored in my earlier comment, saying the ending was a bit contrite, I meant to write contrived. But as I said it is a romance and a happy ending is more or less expected.
Excellent work in all respects. Sadly you are entirely too good to expend your talents here as an amateur. I will miss your postings when your work is rewarded as it deserves. Please do leave some bread crumbs...
Your works are and have been by far one of the best works I've read here on literotica. Both celtic mist and a new York haunting are historically accurate novels that are chalk full of high class themes and stories. All your works show an amazing amount of research. For me personally the reason why I enjoy reading and re reading sailor, Celtic mist and new York haunting is because 1. it uphelds and honors very old school traditional beliefs before the rise of feminism and the emasculation of the first world. Any decent man who has a modicum of self respect would marry a good young woman with her virginity still intact and sadly in this day and age being virtuous or having loyalty is practically non existent atleast in the first world countries. 2. The many references to historical people, events and objects such as the paintings, Sigmund Freud and in celtic mist the many nods to the Irish British conflict and the politics in play there
This is one of the best stories I've come across. The details are so masterfully crafted. The study behind this is impressive, from medical journals to places and features of the period. This is book material.
A wonderful story!! Medical history, Period-correct New York, manners, conversations all meticulous. And I love your characters. Highest rating, favorited and followed.
Thank you indeed.
So very excellent a tale.
