This was a touching story and I deeply enjoyed it. Thank you for writing it.
There is a definate need for a well writen romance to offset stories that show little imagination or background and are so often wrongly described as "erotic".
This story was a pleasure to read and gave the reader a feeling of "niceness".
The joy of being honest with a loved one is one of life's great pleasures. Thank you for showing the process of change from calculating to being open to love.
that last post script thought, I thought, was vicious. no, not to jeremy who's a nobody; but to Nicola.
the idiot actually was giddy over the fact that it was he who planted a seed IN Nicola and not jeremy!
shows you reading books --- however many and being able to cite broken cliches --- don't make any one smart!
last thing: the story was not that "romantic" because the young man's too preoccupied with his little fortunate self; the woman just happened to be someone who passed through his vicinity and stopped, as it were, long enough to brush against him
despite the terms of endearement, there's no real or deep sense of two worthy lives coming together against odds; it's more like an uneventful accidental meeting, with one spilling coffee on the other's pants or something.
the pregnancy and marriage, all sounded more "oh, i'm sorry for spilling coffee on your,,, let me get you a napkin."
very different from one described by Elizabeth Browning,
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways,,, I love thee to the depth and breadth and height,,, [only] My soul can reach when feeling [even feelings and all other faculties are] out of sight [or not meaningful any more],,,I [will always] love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death,,,
Moondrift has written another smashing tale. This tale of tenderness becomeing love was wonderful. he may have started off being somewhat of a cad, but they grew on each other. Loved it.
just lovely...tender and well written...thank you for sharing it with us. respectfully fan in Texas naynay
Just found you, and the story was wonderful,just what I needed today. Good feelings, and hopefulness came out of your story. Thanks D.
Tender and life-affirming as all good love stories should be.
This was a real good romance story. Moondrift, you outdid yourself once again. I hope you continue to write more stories that are as great as this one. Great job. 5***** toby9790.
It all ended nicely. I just wish he hadn't been quite so manipulative and willing to take advantage of others. During the first part he was quite unlikable. Even toward the end I was never sure of his motives. He seemed to to be surprised by his actions as well.
A great read. Thank you, Moondrift, one of your best. Please ignore the ignorant rant by Anonymous (of course) under the heading, “Tough luck, Jeremy”. You write with a sensitivity and compassion totally lacking in too many Literotica authors, and it is always a pleasure to read your stories. Thank you again.
of a self-centered idiot, down to the last line, plotting how to get in her pants from the first moment he sees her, and nothing more.
Never get bored reading your stories, I enjoy them so much I have to read them at least twice. Well done
For a dozen years this Aussie writer entertained Literotica readers with a variety of stories averaging a story a fortnight. This lovely Romance was my first encounter with his work.
Occasionally a topical search leads me to gems like this one.
To quote Bullitt25 "Great read"
If a story about the growth of a gentle, but very deep love is your thing, THIS IS A MUST READ!
