Sick nasty story, Mr. Knight. I loved every word. Write another, please. Five stars, of course, Randi.
I didn't see that coming. A HDK romance. It was just as lighthearted, fun to read and HDK-ish as I hoped it would be. I hope there will be more to come. Actually, I'm quite sure, as we will both be posting something in Randi's December event.
Good job, easy 5*
HDK in romance? I am in shock.
In true HDK fashion, you didn't take a straight line from beginning to end; you made the readers think.
Thanks for sharing your talent. A 5-star effort from an OG.

Really enjoyable if shocking to see this route of story from you though I would of liked it to go past where you ended it.
And most importantly an enjoyable read. Thanks Mr. Knight...5 stars

Warm, relaxing and just enough turbulence. Way to push all the buttons!
u should write romance more often, lot better than ur lw stories. "Is your name really Bentley?" lol good read ty. oh i guess i have to be an ass but u switched Vicky's name with becky while vic was talking to her mom. just to let u know, didnt detract from the story though. again ty for the read
You are by far my favorite author. Your stories are just the right size, fun to read and make my heart warm each time I read them. I particularly liked this one. Please continue, as I am anxiously waiting for your next post.
Terrific story, Hardy. I did suspect who Ben really was and enjoyed Becky's confusion.
Agree with another Anon down the way. I saw that one coming in page 1. Didn’t detract from another great HDK though, I was just trying to figure out how you were going to pull it off! Good going job well done. 5 stars and looking for Chapter2. All the earmarks of another “Lady in Red” series.
Saw this one coming a click away, but still darn good, a made for Hallmark movie. Hooyah, salute....
I had to start again after 2 pages because I got lost. Never did connect Ben to Bentley. Good one. 5*
It would make for a hysterically funny movie. I could see Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock getting together again and having fun with this idea. Good job.
4 stars
It was ok. Not my favorite, but I could definitely see this as a Lifetime movie or on the Hallmark channel or something. Its kind of formulaic and predictable but people love that about romances, so good job if that's what you were going for. I give it 5 stars just because I know that even formulaic romances can be hard to write well and this was... so kudos to your editors.
Overall a good story. Well worth the time to read. My only complaint is the end was abrupt - just done! I found it jarring as I read it.
Thank you for writing and sharing.
Please do keep writing and I will keep reading.
Cannot believe that she got pregnant and that she accepted the offer but perhaps there were reasons. Other than that very enjoyable.
The big one at the beginning, the one in the plot.
Marry my son you have never met for "reasons" plus a supposedly 50% share in a resort, trust me, it's all cushty.....even though you don't know me from Adam.
Seriously?
You used to write decent stories, what happened?.
The clique rimming you does not change the fact that the whole conversation was absurd and destroyed any chance of the story being anything other than poor.
Shame as the proof of your talent was shown in many of your earlier stories.
Another great tale by HDK. I have to ask a question though, I've seen this happen in quite a few stories. Just as the story is building to the climax the author throws off the momentum by using the wrong name. Here you used Becky twice when it should have been Vicky, on the last page. "Ben could have been killed. He did a tour in Afghanistan, for God's sake!, complained Becky." and " You mean Beverly? asked Becky as she made a face expressing her displeasure." I'm not nit picking, it just seems like the author gets caught up in the story at this point and makes the mistake. It's just the behavior analyst in me that makes me wonder about this pattern. Great Story, I really enjoyed it. Thank you "Once a King, Always a King"
Nice story, but not up to your standards. IMHO. And nearly a year since the last LiR?
The plot twist of Ben being the groom was obvious, and little else of interest happened along the way.
The very similar story with the doctor in Maine was much better.
This story comes across like a love story from Rosemarie Pilcher! Very well written and told, thank you!
Of course we knew who Ben was, but that doesn’t detract from a very fun story. And now Ben knows to tread lightly around his crazy jealous wife. Good lesson.
Well worth the price of admission...
Thanks for sharing this fantastic story with us
Not up to your excellent standards. The ending is ok but the the silliness of seeing the the sister leave Bens house was weak.
Liked the story about a shy young lady that didn't know she was beautiful, a lot of women who are don't.
I keep running across stories I have read before for some strange reason, probably because they are so good and they are stuck in the back of my mind. Keep writing and kudos to your editors also.
Very good tale, well written worth 5 stars or more if possible. Only criticism is the wedding scene was a little clumsy.
I was in the Marines long enough to know that all Marines are Perfect . Same with any Service . I left the Service as a Sergeant . And I was very proud of that . My Grandfather was a PFC in Korea and My Dad served in Vietnam . I served in the Gulf and Hated the heat their .
So why did Grampa turned his grandson into a Gigolo, his grandsons wife into a whore, his daughter into a Madam, for honor??? It was all for money bob married becky for cash him mom set up the wedding for cash. creepy ass grampa
Disturbing story. All you have to do is read it and it becomes a confusing Hallmark Event. Besides why talk about the great sex instead of some commentary while it happens?
Incredibly good story. The last half of the fourth page was too much like a soap opera.
You Sir are a great writer and unlike AA82andAA's opinion a story doesn't need graphic sex descriptions to be good, in fact it enhances a story to just indicate that sex took place.
I loved and hated this one, as usual Harddaysknight did a great job of winding out a great story some witty dialogue some believable banter. BUT I dunno if I buy how down to earth a family of whores and pimps are,,, I know let me explain gramps pimped out his whole family, and they all could have stopped it but instead like good little whores they went along with his controlling bullshit from beyond the grave and mom sis and Ben were all his whores and mom became pimp when she convinced Becky to whore herself out for an unknown john. To paraphrase DeCart some say Churchill but "We have already decided what you are, we are simply now negotiating the price"
I have been involved tangentially with the military a good % of my life and the line about "women being safe with a marine" is the greatest lie and truth I have ever read on here, lol
This site needs a "G/PG/R/XXX" category tag to help filter these better...if I wanted a Disney/Hallmark story I wouldn't be on an erotica story site.
The end was a little rushed imo... could have been dragged out a little longer but a solid 5 stars...
This was a really really bad story the stilted dialogue and seriously conflicting plot made for a story akin to something a teenager might write for junior high.
I mean... She still judged him straight away and never gave him the benefit of the doubt nor the opportunity to explain himself. That doesn't bode well for a marriage.
The last scene is so off the wall and Becky’s language was like the ending morphed into ‘“. Get to Dwellers picnic”. So disjointed especially character development…
What I like Hallmark stories, some times there happier then real life. I just can't understand why she couldn't tell him what he did wrong after he Proposed..
Good story, good writting but could have been put together better. Also her language under the alter and in front of family was a bit off putting.
Solving the misunderstanding on the alter?!!! Come on, that was way out of realistic
Better each time I read it and I love Hallmark movies. I never understand why people worry about a story being realistic.
The timeline is confused and confusing, a rushed wedding arranged then a long exclusive relationship,? Then the wedding? Some good ideas but needs an editor
PROOF READ!!
""You mean Beverly?" asked Becky as she made a face expressing her displeasure. "She'd marry a damn donkey if it allowed her to get her hands on our family checkbook."??
I think that should be said by either Olivia or Victoria!
I personally loved it as for mix up in names there’s loads of writers that haven’t re read there own stories to see the mistakes
Five stars even though it was an idiot plot. But most romance plots are. If Becky had just told Ben why she was breaking up with him it would have almost been a 750 word story.
There's another problem. If she doesn't communicate better chapter 2 will be a story about how she gets the idea he's cheating on her, maybe from Beverly, she seems the type, and how she doesn't give Ben a chance to defend himself but gets 'revenge' by having a gangbang, maybe including Jason.
I hope she grows up before that happens.
(Yes I know she's a character, not an actual person.)
Nice one, I have to admit I did see it coming early on but you wrote it well, the characters were good, maybe you should have written a bit more at the end, it just felt that you had somewhere to go as you ended it so stopped it dead.
The author knows how to right a romance ticking off each box with perfection.
The Hoary Cleric
Goof story. It was fairly obvious Ben was the mysterious son. I enjoyed it thoroughly and was ready to give a 5 star vote when I read the I'm pregnant line which was just way too silly for the story so am giving a 4. BardnotBard
Olivia is a cunt like her bitch father. Ben should have ran from neurotic bitch Becky
It is obvious why Becky never got any dates when out wiypth her three friends,she is totally insecure.Also who is Martha?.
Good tale HDK, my first read, doubt my last! 5 stars
somewhere east of Omaha
Kind of goofy and over the top, but a good story. The final pregnanxy announcement wasn't needed imho. 5 stars.
Very goofy. And absolutely silly and maudlin towards the end. Even after Becky comes to realise that Ben is Olivia's son, she keeps blabbering about good that you didn't sleep with Vicki. How stupid can one get? She knew that Vickie was Olivia's daughter and still she couldn't put two and two together and realise that Ben and Victoria were brother and sister? Extraordinarily idiotic.
