Especially how well integrated the perfectly selected quotes are...
in the context of the developing story!
Sweet. Sensitive. Loving!
Does she have a sister for me?
An Aunty?
I have read most of your stories and enjoyed them. Now, though, I am sorry that I have given them five stars.
This story, with its Shakespearian quotations and its loving descriptions of the Kenyan girl’s body with its distinct colours, is enough superior to the others that it really deserves one more star than they. As there is no sixth star, five must suffice.
This is the first one I read. I've read them all. You are very clever.

Especially from a writer I respect. I've had a bit of a drought; all your comments are very encouraging.
This is wonderful, slow and gentle, full of joy.
This is the first story of yours I've read, will read more.
I totally agree your desire to respect your characters and empower your women - a rare thing on Lit, I think.
Loved every word, so realistic a real romance, just how the first time should be. Thank you.
That is the highest praise for me.
You may enjoy my other nerdy stories (just tap on the author name). See if my writing's improved!
