Great chapter, glad you're okay. This is getting interesting with the team drama. I see I was wrong about Paige being the girl. 5*s.
Amazing chapter as always. Hope the Perry’s get what they deserve and that their daughter changes. She should not be pressurized by parents who are only interested in appearances.
Happy to see that you are well and that you are still writing. All the best
I literally woke up every morning around 3am to see if this was posted or maybe it was the heat in fla lol. Im so glad to see it posted. I was starting to worry if you were ok, but another author told me there could be a number of reasons for the delay. This chp did not disappoint, thank you for sharing
A great romantic start but I see lots of turmoil in their future. You have started building a avalanche of bad tidings for them. Will they be able to survive? It at least looks like her daughter will be on her side.
It was wonderful watching these two fall in love! And next up, the forces of bigotry and entitlement against those of love. I know which side I’m rooting for.
This is a wonderfully lovely story. Of all the stories you’ve written this, so far, is pure romance. I do see a storm brewing but with each chapter Melanie getting stronger with Sandy by her side, along with how you brought in Paige. Even with Mel’s dad, there may be a hint of support. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Expected directions? Check. The good ol’ JCMc tenderness and introspective reflections? In spades! Everything your fans expect from one of your stories! Thanks for the hard work this series represents!
Finally, I'm so happy to see part 3. Amazing story, wonderfully written. I see myself in Melanie and the way Sandy cares for her is just amazing. Can't wait for part 4.
I checked every day multiple times a day to see if it was done. I even refreshed your page many times. I was starting to worry about you. Then bam it's up and my life stops while I read every word.
Thank you for your work. <3
Having now read this twice in 24 hours I can honestly say it is in my top 3 on the site. I love the characters and their journey. 10/5 stars.
Absolutely worth the wait, but please, don't make us wait that long again! This story is so fitting of its title
its a real love story but i cense hard times coming im really like it iv been a fan for a wile i know why be happy well and safe shayne
This was a good piece of the calm before the storm. Sandy and Melanie are getting closer together, that’s a win. Paige is being exposed to Lesbianism and coming off as supportive. That’s a win too. For what is coming. I think Melanie’s dad is on board with the his daughter’s choice. All in all a good transition piece. Just waiting for the fireworks. We know they are coming. 😉
... a wonderful love story, thank you! Can't wait for the next part - hoping that those silly church bitches won't spoil Sandy's and Melanie's life... LisaR.
To Ireadlesbianstuff…they were on vacation.
As for JC, that was a good chapter! I almost thought Sandy was gonna drop the L-bomb, but that final line was also great. I’m sure there’s not gonna be any drama from here on out! It’s just gonna be fluff and more fluff, no drama lol.
Melanie is gaining inner strength with help from Sandy, and Vice versa. I believe by the time Mommy Dearest finds out, she’ll be able to hold her own. It’s sad enough the scars childhood can leave on us, but I feel so sad for every child whose parents damaged them. Here’s hoping Melanie’s father has balls to support her against his wife
I didn't spot the join! The bit that Literotica got you to re-write. What are they doing censoring one of their prize winning authors? I take it you didn't try to slip in some bestiality whilst you thought they weren't looking. This is a superb story, please keep it going.
What was the scene that needed a rewrite, out of interest? Did the censors force and substantial change?
You told us in your background notes that this story is especially, intensely personal for you. When the interval from Pt. 02 stretched into an hiatus, my eagerness became concern and my concern started to become alarm. I was on the verge of calling for a wellness check, when this glorious Pt. 03 arrived in all its glory. Your place in the Literotica pantheon is secure.
This is a rhapsody on the meme of "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Nobody should be blamed for finding beauty where others see deformity, impairment, and disfigurement. La belle et la bête. Isn't the point that Belle found true beauty in the Beast? And didn't the Beast get redeemed (NOT reformed) as a result?
You’ve created something so real — personal/otherwise, beautiful in so many ways. The overarching message resonates, but the personal intrigue between/among characters is what makes your pieces/writing so captivating to me. Pick any of your pieces; I am drawn back for another read.
It is heart wrenching to think that in this day and age, in spite of all our progress, that people still need to hide their preferred sexuality in some circumstances. The title of this series says it all and looking forward to the next parts.
Trust is so hard to gain and so hard to keep up …. But its the most important in our lifes and broken onest, hardly to repair …. A blooming love is soooooo special too, yes doesn’t matter which age we are celebrating, love turns us into teenage kiddos ….. you writing a fabulous tale and given the feeling being part of it ….. hopefully the sapphic love will win over, kicking the blind ones in the lower back

JMC, I am so thankful to be one of your editors/beta readers. Your edit was almost seamless, I guess I’m just a bit disappointed that the beautiful scene of her childhood first kiss had to be cut - I understand why (mostly) - but it does make me sad as it was fairly innocent.
This story is a thing of beauty and I’m so glad you are getting the reviews and you deserve. Also, just want to say I’m really sorry that I don’t know my jeep models 😂.
So peaceful and satisfying…so into each other…wondering how it proceeds from here. There has to be a crisis which hopefully will. be resolved to both of their satisfactions and to her kids as well.
Thanks for this
Delightful interactions and stolen moments as their relationship, very organically, evolves and deepens.
The ladies have a feel a little like Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg; both in their respective physiognomy and the dynamic in their interactions with each other. Though, decades of her mother’s psychological abuse has left her with the mentality of Magrat…
I wondered a little bit about the initial meeting; Sandy’s reaction felt more like recognition rather than love at first sight in the blink of an eye.
A lovely weekend away — where they can practice being a couple in the open — to look forward to. And, of course, the inevitable turmoil when their relationship sees the light of day. However, Melanie has a very supportive daughter with some understanding of the impact that such a relationship will have in their sheltered community.
Onwards to chapter four…
P.S.
The opening to this chapter is the most stunningly beautiful wakeup scene I have ever read. So good!
Another great chapter in a stunning story. I really identify with Sandys description of her childhood as I was that child too. Socially awkward. Bullied. Not popular. Not good looking. But good at sport and lessons so winning became everything to me. I still struggle with failure and the fear of failing even though I'm now a grandfather. Onwards to the next chapter. On one hand I want to read this in one go as its so good on the other I want to prolong the pleasure by taking my time lol. Oh as a PS I loved the Terry Pratchett themed comment made about Nanny Ogg etc. Very perceptive 🙂 BardnotBard
