"Well ... get inside and get washed up for supper," I said, standing and moving to front door. I embraced Tom and each of the young women as they passed by me into the living room.

I watched them as they disappeared inside. I sighed. I really had not ever wanted them to grow up, but—there it is.

My two lovers, my wives, came to me, holding me in their arms for a long moment and kissing me over and over. After a while, I opened the screen door and ushered them inside. I closed the screen door behind me and walked around the house to find our babies out in the backyard. I wanted to hug and play with them before they grew up too.

* * *

I have met and loved four women in my life. One betrayed me, two left me behind before reentering my world, and one left me a widower. If there is anything that I've learned from them, it's that life just keeps marching on and it's a heady ride. You better grab on and hold tight because the twists and turns will throw you if you aren't careful.

THE END

I like the story enough, but I felt it was in the wrong category. It's more of a romance story than a "loving wives" tale and I have to admit that once we got past the episode of the plane crash, the story itself lost all of it's momentum because there wasn't any real drama or conflict, just Matt living his life and generally winning - yes, even though he lost one wife, he ended up in a throuple with two hot women younger than him and I think that's considered winning in most peoples books. Hell, he didn't even wait all that long before his wife died to remarry - like he was more cut about his first wife cheating on him than losing Sharon to cancer.

And speaking of Faye - Why even bother bringing her back for the second chapter if this is going to be 90% "I've moved on" content? I thought maybe there might be some drama here, or a false (or real) reconciliation to bring some pathos into the story, but noooo.... He just tells her off again and we never hear from her again. What's the point of that?

I guess I just felt like the narrative didn't have any structure. You could have ditched the first chapter and summarized it in a couple of paragraphs and then wrote your memoir/romance story instead. I get that you tried to bookend the story by having it start with a MFF (cheating) couple and end with a MFF (loving) couple, but it frankly didn't really work and in a large part it's because everything in between those bookends was so meandering and outlandish.

I don't know, I thought "Separate Lives" was a much better series because it really kept focusing on the relationship drama and overall I felt like it was tighter in it's narration (but still kind of meandering). I was shocked to see that there was 12 years difference between you writing that and writing this story, because while maybe the craftsmanship of the sentences has gotten better, you REALLY need to thumbnail down the plot before you start writing. If you were tighter here, you'd easily be a fantastic writer because your storytelling is good. It's just sometimes us readers get confused about what story you are trying to tell.

It was put together pretty well. When you get into the meat it is very well done.

That being typed, it's not as open as i like to read them. Personally, it left too many questions i'd have liked answered. And it went from one vein to the next way too suddenly for my tastes. I'd have liked some explanation. How was is so coincidental that Faye in fact found him after some time? Where did Sharon come from? Why was she the way she was when they met? Why does it seem to take absolutely no time for Matt to go from stranger to bedmate with four different women? Like seriously, his game is so strong he can invite some stranger leaning on a post in the wild wild west into his plane on a flight to his ranch and there's no anxiety? Questions? Lead up? Yes - where is the build up? Perhaps this would've been better served as two separate stories? I dunno. This is just my opinion. Again, it really is done well. Maybe, author, it is your style to cut some corners and not give backstory to characters. The flow was just so fast. And that's fine of course. I myself was just not prepared and it's not what i typically see.

Still give it 4.5 stars. Which will be five here.
