All Comments on 'A Summer By The Lake'

As with most of the other readers I really enjoyed this story. Well written and hard to put down and for good reasons, it portrays a life worth living and is done well. I tend not to reread stories probably won't this one but I will sure try to live my life as good as Harry.

What a great love story. Hard to put down. Too bad it is somewhat hidden.

This is the third time I'm reading this work. I really enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for such a wonderful story.....

Could not stop reading till complete, at 0222 in the morning. Great read. Well done.

Very much enjoyed it. Hard to take the critics seriously until they can point us all to where they've written something better.

Thanks so much for a wonderful story. It is so great to read an uplifting, interesting story

Thanks,

Sam

A really god read. Thanks so much.

From a gifted author.

Wow, thanks for the great story. It was an uplifting tale. I originally picked you up from the "Loving Wife" category, and am very glad I read this one.

thank you

It's nice to find a wonderful story.How about a movie.

Love this story! Its so cute

Super sweet and romantic, absolutely loved it.

Thanks!

In all the stories that I have read here, this is one of the best I've ever read... You should submit it to a publishing house, your wife is right, you most definitely have the talent... You should also submit this as a text for a movie... It would make one hell of a movie... One of the few that I would actually pay good money to go and see now-a-days...

Bright Blessings to You & Yours...

This is the second time I have read your story and I cry every time. It is the best yet.

While I try to stay away from commenting on stories here, I just feel that for this story I have to comment. It was outstanding. It will not grow stale through re-reading. It is a very warm believable romantic tale. Thanks heaps for treating us poor readers to a free literary feast.

I forget the number of times I've read this..thank you :)

I loved the story. Erotic enough to keep it interesting. Strangely enough, eroticism is about more than T&A and how many positions you can manage before breakfast. I love the growth of the relationships and the underlying political and spiritual philosophies expressed.

Loved it! Thank you for sharing your story with us!

Great read, would make a great romantic film just as the author suggested in the story.

1/2 star production

i thought it was excellent. There was a slight confusion when the the deputy called HH Wiley but that's just being picky.

I was interested about the authors observation about his lack of patience. The early part of the story showed that he had mastered it, but got into a bit of a gallop as he sighted the finishing post.

There is always a tendency to go over the top with sainthood when one has a kind and good person as a hero and that did get a bit close here. For example the buying the minister a new minivan was not needed in the story. Imagine nailing a plank, 1 nail well driven home will do the job.257

Nice pace, nothing extreme - none of the unbelievable occurrences some authors include... much enjoyed...

I have really enjoyed your stories, as you continue writing I will continue to read.

Amazing. A true literotica masterpiece. I have read this at least 9-10 times and it still surprises me!

It's very good but i would have liked his first wife showing up at one point.

Very nice story, well written.

There are many great Literotica stories, but this is my favorite! I wish is was a book, maybe 800 - 1000 pages! Harry is the best...a compassionate and passionate man! Sarah is so sexy, perfect for Harry! What can I say about BB? ...love her!!! Please write volume 2! Thank you again...I've read it 50+ times!

Just great -

Well conceived , executed and a joy to read -

Thank you Sir -

leave it to the folks from "Duck Dynasty" to say what I think about your work. happy-happy-happy, that is how I feel when I read your stories. THANKS

but I was expecting to hear more from the Diamond Realty lady. The story hinted that we hadn't seen the last of her. Keep up the good work!

It's so nice to read a story that is happy-happy-happy. I really enjoyed this one. Your character B.B. is the best character I came across in a long, long time. I couldn't wait for her to make her appearances. She had the honesty and fun of youth. I have 3 sons and I wish I had a daughter like B.B. This just became one of my favorite stories. You are a wonderful writer. Keep it up.

It is a feel good story. Nice

I truly enjoyed this story. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I consider this one of my favorite stories that I have read. Please keep stories like this coming. You are a very talented writer.

I was having a truly awful day (maybe week) and this story cheered me right up. Thank you and please keep writing.

All the best, a loyal fan.

this story only needs 1 word to describe it "unbelievable"

It had 'human 'characters ,and a little of every emotion thou it was mostly happy and had me in tears at some beautifully written and expressed parts .BB was a gem !

coated in choc caramal t----s

I love this story! I have read it 10 times and I can't put it down! I love the scene of BB on the deck, BB destroying the kitchen, dancing and the motel, their proposal talk....actually every single word. This is one of my all time favorites! Please, please, please, please keep writing!

Funny romantic serious. A wonderful story well written and well told. 5*

I've served in the military. I spent 23 years as a police officer and a volunteer firefighter. Parts of your story had me crying like a teenage girl. Thank you.

here is the similar stories category listed at the side at the end of their posting. You have 5 of my all time favorites there.

So obviously, you don't need me because others have found this story great. Few edits it could use but that would only be quibbling.

Thank you.

He might not be the woman's ex, but he sure is a domineering, controlling jerk.

Great concept, fresh idea! Almost cried when BB got the adoption papers!

I've never commented on a story in the year or so that I've been on Literotica but this story absolutely blew me away! Loved it and it is definitely the best I've read on here. I wish there was a 6th star to rank it!

Many thanks.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I couldn't put it down. Thank you!

I am a sucker for a good romantic story. This one had enough trials to wonder if it would work out. This is the first of your stories I have read but it won't be the last.

Whatever I can say, has probably been said by the 80 odd comments before me. All that is left for me is to say is Thank You. Thank you for writing this story. Thank you for sharing some of your incredible talent with us.

Probably the best short story I have ever read, certainly the best I've read on literotica. Thank you.

Enjoyed it from beginning to the end. The plot twisted and turned to the point I wasn't sure what the ending would be. As it turned out, it turned out best for all. Thanks for posting.

Lot of sugar, little bit of spice and splash of vingar. Perfect

Oh my godddd!! That is the best i ever read on literotica!!! U shld write moreeee:)

Again, you can write. Have anything published?

And he has a built in model. A very good story. Harry as the (almost) anonymous donor hit home for me. I have a whole list of donations to make if I ever find that lottery ticket.

Keep up the good work!

Please write the story of his ex, his investigation, and his shooting!!!

It brought smiles, tears, and a little laughter to me soul!!!! Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!

I find it supremely entertaining that the self-proclaimed Druid demonstrates a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the best and most basic concepts of Christianity than most people I've encountered who consider themselves devout and legitimate Christians.

On a slightly more simplistic note, damn fine read. Keep it up.

I just finished the third read. It is a marvelous story, go line and good composition. I bet you old english teachers are proud of you.. Keep writing

really really good

Best EVER!! This story Rocks!

Well I have found another writer, but you aren't good your great. What a fantastic story.

First, let me tell you that is the first story of yours I have read and now I have to read everything you may have written.

I loved it and the characters; it's the fairy tale everyone needs. But...it is "eminent" domain, not imminent.

Thanks for a very enjoyable time and, please, keep writing.

L

Just an excellent story, enough said!

Great story

Very enjoyable.

it has made my day.

at one time, when you brought Harry Winston in story I thought Edward was getting some help from Sapphire Jade Diamond.

I just loved reading this story, I could not stop reading it, and I would like to say this, whatever happened to the ex husband of sarah, when he got out of the mental hospital after 2 years, I think you might have another story to come, with the ex husband and also with B.B. herself now, that she is older now. I would diffently like to read about her adventures in her life and get some updates on her parents(sarah and harry), and see how they are.

This is a beautiful story. I often found myself with unshed tears. Thank you for this.

This story is one of my favorites, I'm telling all of my friends to read it, knowing them they'll all give it the 5 star rating it more then deserves. Maybe it will bump the story up a few pegs in the Hall of Fame. :-) I would also like to read a story following B.B.. :-D

Great characters, great story. I couldn't put it down. It even confirms the old saying, "Dancers are the best lovers". Thank you for the entertainment

Sometimes I just can't sleep at night, reading this story didn't help. I just could not stop during the story. The plot was well done. The story just kept getting better as I got into the meat of it. Keep them coming.

Thanks for an enjoyable read!!!!

I found this story well thought out, however, there are typos... L.O.L., but they don't hurt the story! Loved the teenager! She is a character!

Cheeky request? Since I'm giving five stars. Any chance of a story about B. B. ?

Great story, great ending! Thanks

I like ur stories. Pl keep writting. Thanks

Well written tale. Not sure how I missed this one.

Thx.

Now that was an easy 5 stars. Thank you.

It's truly a pleasure to read such a well written, uplifting story with happy endings for all but the ex husband who was his own worst enemy. He persisted and finally succeeded in ruining his life. I also read all your comments on this story and am pleased I'm in such a large crowd. There were only a couple that seemed as though they were from people who might have been cell mates of the ex.

Thank You for sharing your talent with everyone! Please share more!!!

i love or like your stories

wow is all i can say... Loved it :)

While I enjoy reading the stories here and yours a lot! I don't post all that much! I enjoyed this one more then the rest of yours! Please keep writing these good ones!

that when I finished - I wished it didn't end so soon. Thanks for sharing.

You continue to be the hot ticket on this site. Please keep blessing us by sharing your gift.

I enjoyed it from start to finish. The opening scene was absolutely astounding, and you didn't let up till the very end!

I love a story that doesn't involve the man abusing the woman, and so many of the torrid sex marathons amount to that. So reading about HH and Sarah and BB was a blessed relief for me.

I encourage you to overlook the criticisms. I suspect that the people who seemed to be the most severely critical couldn't write a story this good if they tried for a lifetime. This is a wonderful story and you should be proud of it. I wish I could write this well.

Thank you for a great read, and for sharing it with us.

Really liked it... But I have to ask you this- did you take just a hint of inspiration from the Sophia series by Castlestone.. I'm not taking away anything from you for this fine work of writing but I did feel a lingering presence of that story in some parts (with the gender roles reversed though). Either ways, keep it up!..

Sooner read Nodey you are a crap writer

When i first read boston to birmingham ,c i just knew you had it in you to break the top 10 in romance. This story is so heart warming and touching. Its like those sitcom finales that leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy. Amazing stuff! DONT STOP WRITING, if u do il track ur ip address. Find you and kill you. Im the annon who kept saying anna wasnt necessary in b to b. Love you brother.

I must have missed this story when it first came out. I was just searching my favorites when I saw this. Now I have missed some sleep but have had several smiles and some laughs and a good feelings to take me to sleep (likely pleasent dreams too?).

Thank you for a great read, appreciate your writing - OK it nots perfectly edited BUT its not like I am paying for it. Any errors were easy to get by and took nothing away from the writing!! I DID enjoying reading! 5 STARS!!!!

So as long as you keep writing I will keep reading!

Thank YOU!!!

but I won't nit pick about a good story.

Keep them coming and I will keepreading them.

Reads like a novel, can't tell you how much I enjoyed it, please keep up the good work- it provides broad based entertainment to us all

Thanks,

Sam

Didn't want it to end, thanks for a great read

What can I say, but "your stories fill my heart with joy". keep writing you offset a lot of the dribble, revenge, and sadnes on this site. THANK YOU

Great story. I think Archie Campbell said it best, "Money can't buy happiness, but if you have enough of it you can suffer the very best brand of misery..."

Thanks!

I quit after the first page. You really, truly need an editor. This is especially true as your character claims to be a top notch writer.

You are a gifted story-teller. When reading your writings, I see colors. Thanks for your time and for sharing your gift.

Thank you for this great story. I agreed with another anon that this is re-readable.

A re-readable story.

In my opinion you deserve a 5 squared for a score.

You brought out the best in all of your characters. It is nice to have a lot of fresh mountain air to clear your head.

Save a few spelling issues, this is among the best I have read here. At a few moments the narration seemed hurried, but that is not uncommon while writing a long piece. I loved it, and did not have to think twice before giving a 5-star. You displayed assured mastery in how to build up a character--exemplified by Sarah. Incomparable stuff, this. I shall look to more from you.

A great story....
