I really enjoy your rescue stories, thanks for telling and sharing these tales with us
Excellent Ronde!! Nice people doing nice things is a great concept for a story!!! 5- Stars!!
it is the silly season soon afterall so why not believe good exists in this word
Thank you. A simple, well crafted story. Ocassionally we all do something a little out of the ordinary in our jobs or lifestyle. Sometimes for reasons we can't really explain. That in itself, makes it beautiful. Cheers.
Good pace, great first person narration, and you made me smile and feel warm. 5.
As always, you really pack a punch.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Sandy singing for Mark and the kids.
Thanks for another great one.
Just a feel-good story; short and to the point with a plot that isn't too saccharine and characters and dialog that work well. 5*
Thank you! What a balm for a reader who's tired of all the cheaters, assy people, useless bad porn, perfect rich dudes and/or amazingly beautiful sex goddesses. Just a good story with two good normal people, interesting plot and well deserved happy end for both. Easy 5 stars!
I loved this! A hint at the characters’ backstories without being dragged down by flashbacks, enough to humanize the characters and make you feel for them. Thank you so very much!
I think the story could have incorporated her love of music and singing, a little more, even if she did it for herself and the family. Music was a big part of her background and I’m disappointed that it was ignored. Other than that, it’s a very sweet story. 4/5
I love sweet stories, especially around yearends. My personal appetite is 'erotica should be sweet' though I read infidelity or horror themed ones here and enjoy them. I wrote several drafts but when I read them again I feel they are too serious and heavy so I'm thinking of removing sex scene from them, rewrite and submitting them to serious literature magazine or some place.
In my humble opinion, I can say something like 'story progress was a bit fast' or 'not enough sex scene'. I partially agree with other critics here on like 'her music career'.
Anyway I love sweet story. So my point is 5. It was a great read. Happy thanksgiving.
This would make a great movie ! Not quite Hallmark, but definitely a cable ready!
Charming, Story. Engaging, sweet, and erotic when they finally got together. I did feel the ending was a bit rushed; they finally have sex, and everything just wrapped up and ended. Because of the detail and level of character development, it would have been nice to have the relationship evolve a little more; tying in the singing, more sexual exploration, etc.
Kinda knew how this white knight damsel in distress piece would go. But sweet Hallmark holiday fluff.
It was a turn-a-round with the cop having a heart of gold. It would have been nice to find out about Sandy's singing career, but it looked like she put that on the back burner for being a wife and mother.
Overall a very good story, but the ending was a bit rushed. Maybe you run out of steam?
Take Care
It ended the way I knew it should as soon as the old copper took Sandy to his house rather than the station. Just like we know how the lemon meringue pie should taste after a steak and potato meal at a diner. It was served just right -- just like Betty or Mable -- would have served it, on their last shift, with a button or two on their blouse unbuttoned and a hopeful smile on their face.

I'm going to be honest here. Your writing brought tears to my eyes, great job. I just got done reading part of someone else stuff on here that had me very disappointed and angry. This was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.
Awesome story and very true in that most police can see what he saw, someone on the down and out, rock bottom.... been there. Keep up the good work!!! This one should win an award.
Very nice. You created real characters, and they told your story. Real emotions, real situations, and true humanity shown by both of your leading characters. Well done!
Predictable but still liked it a lot-great characters, loved she had a muffin...
This was a sweet love story. I do wish we learned about what Sandy did over the years, besides being a mother. Even if she decided to be a stay at home mom, and played her guitar at coffee shops, the reader should be told.
