All Comments on 'Hero's Reward'

A simply beautiful story. I wish I had the correct words to say more. In my favorites 5 plus stars.

that Literotica had real works of art rather than just porn stories. Works like this one and "The Promise" are amazing short stories worthy of publication in any collection. I've reread this one at least 4 times over the years and thankfully it ends the same every time. A fantastic tour-de-force that spreads joy with every visit. Thank you.

an ending that validated the four main characters. A great oeuvre from this author and I will look to see if there are more from him/her to enjoy. Five easily earned stats!

Among many good ones, this is probably the author’s best. Very touching.

Such a beautiful story so much compassion

A great story. Thank you.

Do you really believe that a virgin who was raped,then never had sex in seven yearswould give herself to a man the first time she went to his apartment.Plus the fact she wouldn't be on the pill.

Yes. She's been in an emotionally intimate relationship for a month. They're about two weeks past the "Second Date" when she wanked him off in the hospital bed.

Pill?

Wow, you're totally ignorant about women's plumbing.

A lot of women not having regular sex are on the pill. Some, as there's always a chance of a random hook-up/booty call.

Others due to irregular periods, endometriosis, or other physical symptoms or ailments.

To quote a Native American friend of mine: "Your medicine is weak."

OMG what a wonderful story!!!! It makes up for all that crap that you can watch called porno movies with innane plots!!!Thanks to the author! Keep up a nice work!

Human interaction is so complex, finally breaking through guards people put up can lead to unexpected happenings. Not being on birth control can lead to interesting story complexities. Nicely done.

Very nicely done. Great characters, believable plot and dialogue. Five stars.

I really enjoyed this story. Great writing and plot. Keep up the writing.

Amazing Love Story, need a chapter 2!

Hi, this is my first time commenting, and i have to say that this story deserves it. My best friend went through a similar situation (minus the scars), and I was molested for about 4 years of my life, the things that happened to us is what brought us together, and reading this story reminds me a lot of me and her (minus the sex, and hospitalization). This story has really touched my heart, and i can not thank you enough for putting it into words.

PS. a second chapter is not necessary this is a piece of work that needs no follow up to make it better, its already perfect

Sincerely, Stefen

My moniker is "tell me a good story"

You didn't do that, you told me a great story

Thank you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

and it's still one of the most amazing stories around here. Thank you so much!

This story touched me deeply and made me think about the relationship my fiancee and I share. Thank you for putting into words what I couldn't.

my second time reading this, poss 3rd, still blows me away...

incredibly, I was able to vote again, for some reason, so another 5

Angel Love did a superb job editing...as a honors English major I notice typos-they detract-thought I noticed, and not certain, one...and this story so good it's nothing, if it existed....

Thank You

Such a beautiful story.

Thank you for putting pen to paper and creating this.

So glad I found this story, very rewarding and heartwarming. It's not just a love story, it's almost a mystery story because we don't know why Sarah is so set against her and Jeff having a relationship. I imagined several different reasons but never came close to the real reason. Loved how at the end Jeff was so careful with Sarah when they tried to work through her fobia.

One thing that jumped out at me was then the Doctor came into Jeff's hospital room he used the door knob. Hospitals do not use twist knobs, only push/pull latches. This type iis required to facilitate moving in and out of patient rooms with only using a hip or elbow when pushing carts or beds. Other than that, very well done. Thanks

I have truly enjoyed this story. I really like all the characters. Thank god theres no cheating. I believe Sarah would be truly honest and faithful to him...

i'm a big hard nose guy and I was sobbing by the second half the story.

I read a comment that mentioned a woman who had not had sex in seven years since being raped and cut with a knife had no reason to be on birth control pills. I have a 15-year-old niece on birth control pills and she hasn't begun to date yet.

Vulnerable, heroic and very believable. Well done!

SUCH A BEAUTIFULL STORY TEARS 10 STARS

TO BAD THERE CAN'T BE A SECOND CHAPTER

AS IT COULD HAVE A BETTER ENDING APART FROM GETTING MARRIED

I’ve read this several times it never gets old still gets the old tear ducts working excellent work.

Faboulous. I made me cry. So well writtten

Fantastic story.

thanks so much.

Wonderful, simply a wonderful story.

Beautiful story telling, it's really a heartwarming story. I thank you for this and hope more such similar stories come from you.

Great story but it needs to be continued.

You have certainly a way with words. This story really moved me, more for the resolution of previous pains. A beautiful coming together of two who have been injured. Magic and yes please, more.

I really enjoy reading this story for I don’t know how many times! Fantastic! More please!

Very well written and deeply erotic and moving. I hope you'll write more about their love and how they make a beautiful baby together.

This is the first time I've read the story and I loved it. Strong development, both of the characters and the intensity behind the actions.

THANKS

It's a story I have read many times when I need to feel good.

One of my favorite stories on this site!

A good heart is required to produce such work. I hope you are proud of yourself for allowing others to enjoy this story.

You're a future bestselling author!

I loved it. First Jeff recovering, then Sarah recovering, it was just too beautiful. I thank you for something I really didn't expect on this site.

This was a fantastic story! I was invested in the characters and was really rooting for them. Great work!

Nice, touching, informative, close to reality, its like a true story.

what a great love story

keep it up

It's a great love story. I like It's own style.

Just awesome, I loved every moment

A TRUE love story with incredibly accurate characters. Kudos to you as the creator of such a touching story!

Five stars. A very moving piece. "Not a dry eye in the place." I loved it. What else is there to say?

One character barely survives the fight, one is saved from the fight, and one is healed from the fight. A roller coaster of a plot. The lovemaking was just that little bit of spice for the romance. Good Read, Good Story, Good Times. Keep on keeping on.

As such: how is the average rating only 4.85?!? C'mon people! What's wrong with you!!!

As I started reading this story, it sounded very familiar but I wanted to see if there were any changes since the last time I read it. Not sure how long ago that was, but when I got to the last page, it didn't have any stars noted. To be truthful, I don't know if it was updated or not, but I can tell you that it definitely got a five star rating from me and added to my favorite stories as soon as I finished reading it.

It has everything a great story needs, including a happy ending. Thanks

Amazing story. I felt it was hard to get into the first two pages then I couldn’t put it down my first 5 star rating.

What a beautiful story. You really are pining for them to make it for Sarahs sake. Everyone deserves happiness. 10/10

Give us more. Wonderful story. Could read 10 more chapters !!!!

I have to say this is the best story I have read on here. I have read a lot of great stories but none that had the suspense, drama, eroticism to get anyone excited and the emotion to bring tears to my eyes.

It's wonderfully written. You can tell how much thought was put into the characters as well as this entire piece. This isn't a "wham bam thank you mam" hurry and "get off" story but it was one that got me excited as well as made me not want it not to end. So thank you for sharing your talent for producing an excellent touching yet very erotic sexy story!

This was an absolutely beautiful story.....like, speechless. I'm at a loss for words.

What a great story.

I also do have tears, six star rating

This one brought me to tears. This is every bit as good as the stories by Komrad.

Outstanding!

Enjoyed! Just the right length for a short love story.

I love your story, all about redemption and hope and love that really conquers all. I image Jeff with a bit of sexy hair for that healing masculine chest he has.

A beautiful story, could you possibly write some more? You have many fans, well deserved it seems.

Thank you for writing such a wonderful and life-affirming tale. For many reasons, this has been marked as a favourite.

On my all time favorites list (Top Five). Such a sweet story, a love story.

For an incurable romantic, this was nearly perfection. 5 well-deserved stars.

A well deserved 5 star. Hopefully there is a countinuation. Thank you.

That's the only way to deal with a rape survivor. Slow and gentle. Goes for child abuse survivors also

Very nice—not too mushy and kept me up beyond my bedtime.

So touching a story, deeply thoughtful, quietly expressing the emotional turmoil of a troubled past and the tender, sensitive resolution in love. Beautifully written.

Very well-written story, good job!

Not every woman recovers from this traumatic experience

Second read, This is a classic! 5*

Great story from the very start Through to very end was in tears a few times throughout . Glad my kids weren't around for this one they would be saying old softy is at it again .thank you for the read .

Quite simply outstanding.

I see by the date that this story is approaching its fifteenth birthday. Maybe it's time to write a follow-up -- fifteen years of their lives?

I read this because it was marked as "Similar Stories" to one of ours, "A Walk Changed Everything."

So glad I clicked it!

Amazing! This story left me in absolute awe.

Such a wonderful heartwarming story. I hope you continue to write more of them.

Second time around and still loving it!

A great story, plus a slow erotic buildup, plus sex.

Pretty much a perfect literotica story.

While Sarah would obviously NOT have been on birth control, unless for medical reasons, it wasn't mentioned and neither were condoms, and appropriately so. Pregnancy would be low probability, and the situation justified both the risk and ignoring the risk.

It's heartbreaking to think of all the women who go through this type of trauma, and often don't get their happy ending, and also of all the guys who get so screwed up that they'd do that sort of thing to women.

Wonderful story. Many thanks

Damn, what a wonderfully written story. So many twists and turns with a great ending. Thanks for sharing. Top Marks!

DogFuzz

you are a talented writer. best wishes for your prosperity. I'd pay to read your work.

Really torn here. Obviously, it's a great story; objectively good. But, I found the language in the beginning to be very off putting and well, racist: "Thug" "hood," When words like "trash" & "punk" came up, it sounded like direct insult of the insult already made. But, not much to worry about, I guess, as no other reader seems to have been made uncomfortable. For me, It took a lot to finish the story from there.

Sometimes you find an answer to heal from a traumatic event and love from unexpectant events

My second or third time to read this story in the last 4 years I've been on Literotica and I still love it.

An excellent story. You have given us a clear understanding of the relationship between Jeff and Sarah, emphasising how that relationship develops, without any unnecessary physical description. Very many thanks for making this a well developed story, in which we are able to identify with the principle characters. I would recommend this story to anyone interested in showing rather than just telling. Well worth all five stars; more if they were available.

Proof that nice guys do not always finish last. My second reading, not my last I am sure. That for such a sweet story.

Trauma. To some extent or another, every one of us has experienced some form of physical or emotional trauma. Most of us have also, in one way or another, inflicted hurt one way or another on other people.

I thought the handling of Sarah's story was well done. I can understand her reaction and the use of the physical remainder or her scar to maintain distance.

It's easy to feel like damaged goods, for a variety of reasons. It's also easy to look at the damage of others and decide that it's not worth the effort. I appreciate the way this entire thing was addressed, from Jeff's reaction to the fall out of his intervention to Sarah's reluctance to be vulnerable to anyone, much less opening up to a man. Bravo.

A beautifully written story about love that's far more than skin deep. It even brought a small tear my curmudgeonly eye.

LA

Very nicely done!

Love found 1st mind, in the heart, then in the physical cannot be matched. This story is so beautiful because it shows all the Emotion that could be found with Pure love for another person. Truly 5 stars, thank you for all of your time in effort.

Excellent writing! An amazing journey for the two of them.

Just an outstanding story. What else needs to be said?

This is as close to the perfect story for this category. I usually find a lot of content not important to the story but I wouldn't have changed a word. Some stories will make you cry near the end. This one? I just wanted to reach the end with a satisfying conclusion and, boy, the author hit the perfect ending!

What praises could I bestow on this story that haven't already been written. The only thing missing were kittens and puppies! LOL

I was looking for another story when I found this one, I glad I did ! I enjoyed it very much.

Have read it quiet a few times.Will probably read it a few times more.Possibly the best story I have read .I think that this tells you I really enjoy this story.

Fantastic. Heart warming

Wow!

Incredible, a five page romance with a one page erotic finish. Knowing the way hospitals work and the way they can be emotionally cold made this story especially poignant.
