Enjoyed it so very much great detail. glad they found each other again
I hate to say it, but your main character is an ass, and I hated him after two paragraphs. It may be a highly rated story, but that's because the groupies in this forum are largely a very forgiving lot. I, however, am not.
Love this story!! A real tearjerker. I gave you 4*s and can't believe it.
How can you write a mess like "Fat Chance" then come right back with a romance that is moving, good dialogue , and a little suspension of belief.
I don't mean the spirit of his dead half- sister . I refer to the coincidence of him loving the mother then the daughter loving his father. Finally, loving each other as if no time has passed . You made it work, it was just believable enough.
But what an ugly, messed up story " Fat Chance" became as the chapters continued.
It is difficult to fathom . Maybe you do better without the multiple chapter story.
Good luck with your next LW story, I will look forward to it as

Different story kind of off beat and sad but very different. The little girl in the chair Maureen and Mary the young nurse was dead but appeared to be with her daddy bb Ron bbbbb. Texas
I really liked the story. I was presently supprised with the ending though. I thought it was a little rushed to end but that's just my view. I gave it a good 4 rating. Keep writing. I look toward to what you can come up with in the future.
The slow development of the protagonist's world is extremely well done.
The development of several love themes makes it a very fine romance.
Which felt rushed to say the least. Otherwise well done. Now if you Bloody Brits could only speak and write in English things would all be good.
And FWIW, I am American and thought your English just fine - had no issue with any "Britishisms" although I may be used to it, as I watch British programming on BBC America and PBS, and do like several British authors. I like the intricate (in a good way) story, and think your characterizations of both men and women, "spot on". And of course, being a romantic at heart, I like the happy ending. And I am happy that Frank and Roger got a chance to talk before the end. Spencerfiction, you are blessed in that you can not only write an interesting story (and keep your readers' attentions), but also write convincing dialogue for both men and women. Looking forward to more of your stories!
way too many convenient coincidences to arrive at the ending. And for him to fall romantically in love with a toddler who was sat in a chair watching, as her mother a "Pro", "popped his cherry", is borderline creepy.
You got me. I didn't see everything coming. I loved it. T'hanks for sharing........
so many relationships spread through multiple generations
I enjoyed the story and don't think it deserves harsh comments.
It is complex, although I think that could have been helped by just a slight bit more explanation of a couple of points.
There were a couple of things that puzzled me:
* Mary seemed to be a significant character, but then disappeared. Why did she look familiar to Roger?
* It was not clear, at least to me, how Roger figured out his connection to Maureen.
* What was that near the end about the priest dying and if you can nurse?
* A great many things were tied up at the end, perhaps too many and too neatly. The ending itself seemed kind of abrupt.
Still, it was a good story and I did not mind reading it.
Full attention required to appreciate. A lovely story, but not for those with ADD. To Anonymous, Mary was Maureen's and Frank's daughter; Rosemary, the beautiful young night nurse and Roger's half-sister. Five and Faved.
such a LOVE story - - I have so many feelings running through my body while reading this - - awesome is all I can put to words !!
Really outstanding story - Spencerfiction really can create a very interesting story and bring it along to a great conclusion
ROGER BIRD WAS A WEAK WIMPY PATHETIC MAN, A LITTLE BITCH LIKE HIS MOTHER SO EVEN JEANIE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HIM
Story was confusing and jumped all around. It is sad - it had so much potential.
Well Done""Life's is never a clean cut bed of roses.Yet in the many ways of how much entwined strangers can be a bigger part of endless possibilities.Thank you".
