This story is hot, yet incredibly adorable at the same time. The love and passion of their lovemaking brought me to tears. The realism in the story also helps add more emotion, especially when Jeff goes slow with Sarah because of her past instead of just going at it. Thank you for this story!!!
WOW what a story. Where are you now, we need some more of these kinds of stories. I for one was molested (raped) as a child, so this hit home big time. The trust issues never really go away. Great story.
I only regret I can't give this story 10 stars. Guess I'll have to vote again.
Sue me.
My third time reading this. An awesome story and told with such warmth and feeling that it is an inspiration to all readers and writers alike.
I send my appreciation and comments, when first I read your story, as accolade and kudos were and are richly deserved for a well constructed, gripping, charming, tender and heartwarming story.
I liked it back then, but at that time had no realisation of the importance and value it would have some years later, nor the ironic parallels.
Six months ago I was involved in a near fatal motorcycle collision; lucky to have survived (Grateful thanks to N.H.S. Paramedics!) although suffering a splenectomy and shattered pelvis. I emerged after three months in hospital with multiple scars (my chest & stomach resemble the London Underground map!) My Hero is my now girlfriend who visited me constantly and rebuilt my confidence as I slowly recovered, despite fighting far worse battles of her own. She didn't give up (just as Jeff didn't) despite me trying to push her away (as Sarah tried) because I too felt unattractive, damaged and worthless. When I reread this recently, I asked my GF to read your story, for its similarity to ours and she agreed; she was much enamoured of the poignancy, bathos and tenderness (particularly where Sarah gives Jeff a 'bed-bath' & when J & S finally make love)
So; Thanks again...
The only reason I gave a five star rating is there wasn't a higher rating. Well done!
I really appreciated this story - this is my third read. Better every time .

I wish this story was longer, I feel like so much more could have been done with it. A love story like this deserves multiple installments. I think if it was written more like "Colleen" by Texas Ranger, a story accounting a couples entire life together including children and marriage would be a nice style to model this after. Other than that, I have read this story three times and plan to do so again. 10/10
I spend too much time in Loving Wives, and this is a perfect palate cleanser. It's not a criticism, but I'd like to see more of the friendship between Jeff and Paige, and maybe how Paige decided that Jeff is what Sarah needed. This comes from wishing the story was longer.
This is one of those gems that a you don't just find satisfying to reread, but even have favorite sections to reread. Enough said. Thank you.
I have to say without a doubt one of the best stories I have rean on this site, I would give it a 10 if I could 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As someone who has been through a shattering break-up, I can completely understand Sarah's position. Stories like this make me wonder if there's a person out there that can help me come out of my shell.
I doubt it. Still a very sweet story, though.
Write your own story with all of the BS you wanted. I will tell you tell you in Advance if you wrote a story that's one page I'd rate it a one and say it's one page too long with too much BS to read.
Write a story like S-Des maybe you can have 5 stars too!
Touched me on a very deep level:
This story touched me on a very deep level that I had been hiding from myself, and didn't know it.
Having lost my wife of 36 years, five years ago, I have not allowed myself to really feel and love as deeply as I might. Thanks to you and your supportive editorial team for helping me see myself and how I have been hiding myself.
I enjoyed this emensly it was nice to read some thing real in what can happen in our daily lives
Two people meet under unsual cirstumates and find true love. Was it Karma or something that was ment to be? Only the writer only knows for sure# 5 star story, will we read more about them I hope so.

This is a wonderful story... I really love the emotions as they grew closer and overcame the problems... It felt like such a real story... Absolutely wonderful !!!
It was about 4 pages too long.
Things I would like to have seen:
* they are both fucked by a minotaur
* they meet again years later and there is an orgy with a sex cult
* the rapists come to take revenge on the guy and she kills them ....slowly
* three-some with both sisters
I like the stories by many eyed hydra, rapists are killed left and right and it is only 2-3 pages long.
Thank you so much for this story. The sex was not the primary component to their growing together, it was just a part and actually worked well into what was going on. I hope to read more of your work. I'll start looking now.
BTW. More about what happens to Jeff and Sarah would be appreciated.
This is one of the best stories of this type that I have ever seen. 5 stars-I wish I could give it more.
In fact it was one of the most touching love stories I have ever come across. You certainly have some impressive followers. Gerry the Moog Player has always been one of my favorites. I'm definitely adding you to my "favorites".
Five Stars hardly seems enough. Thank you for the story.
This is a great story, with well developed characters, an excellent story line, and a touching plot. Very well done! Thank you for this submission.
I fell head over heels for this story the very first time I read it. A few years have passed, and once again, I'm remembering why I like this tale so much.

... is what I felt like I was doing as I read your story. Beautifully written with well-developed characters who intermingled perfectly. Great story, and I hope to find more like it!
Great story and well written, one of the better romantic stories I've read on Lit.
Story well told with outstanding detail to your characters. It really was enjoyable reading. Thanks for sharing. BK
I cannot say anything that hasn't been said already. I could not stop reading this story until I finished. It even made me cry a few times. Truly heartfelt.
I love it still! Read it a while ago.....really great then and still great now!
The whole story and all the characters were just fantastic , thank you so much for such a heart felt story!
... is that I can't give this 10 stars. Very well done!
What a wonderfully warm and tender story.Made me feel as if I knew the characters personally.Many thanks for your efforts.
Just read for probably the 10th time and it just keeps getting better!
Drama building up to love for two beautiful people. One of the best stories and in my favorites. Not the first or last time to read it. A true love story.

But, take the exact same words of the last comments and pretend I wrote them as well.
A beautiful story about two beautiful people. Five stars. I would give it more if it was possible.
Wow.
377 comments (haven't seen a negative one yet) and over 1300 favorites, this is an exceptional story, taking the reader well outside the usual boundaries of lust and passion and sex.
Anytime I feel down I read this story and it gives me a supercharge that life is good and can get better! I love the fact that sex is not primary but helps a healing process! I really think you should consider a sequel....
Such a lovely story with the perfect ending. It's the kinda story which makes you wanna live it.
Excellent writing and thanks a lot for making my day.
This was an amazing story. This is definitely up there in my list its probably number one to be honest. Just absolutely beautiful. You ya amazing author have the greatest story I have ever read on this website.
This is an excellent story!!! Not a dull moment, well written and one that when you start reading it that you do not want to stop . Keep up the excellent reading material. Am looking forward to reading more of your stories. If the rating went to 10, I would classify this story at least an 11.
I first read this story years ago and enjoyed it. Then today, clicked a link for this story as the title sounded interesting. I didn't remember the story at first, until our hero was in the hospital and couldn't see. Then I slowly remembered as we got to the big reveal.
It's ironic - we call wild animals "savage", yet the adjective better applies to Sarah's rapist. He gave her the scar in a fit of spiteful anger, an emotion unique to humans.
I fully understand Sarah's desire to hide, as we instantly judge people when we meet them, typically concentrating on the physical - ethnicity, appearance, height, weight. And yet, none of us can control our ethnicity, our height, and in the case of Sarah, her scar. But she is right, people will notice it and fixate on it.
I don't remember if I left a comment then, but my feedback would have been the same. I'm glad Sarah found someone who appreciates her for who she is, and not based on her appearance - though I can't help but wonder if the same result would have occurred had Jeff had his sight - I sincerely hope so.

This story was recommended by a friend and I'm so glad he did. You've created a wonderful story with believable, realistic characters. A nice reminder that looks definitely don't equate to being the 'right' one.

This is a partial lyrics from Sir Elton John song "Your Song":
"How wonderful live is while you`re in the world" (Dedicated to Sarah and Jeff)
I think this is enough!
5* for you!
Please, always keep writing like this, you have touch my heart.
After reading this story again all I can say is: I love reading this beautiful story. I can't help coming back, he'll now its on a schedule to be read again.
It's always nice to run across this story once in a while and reread it :) Just awesome! ...I was reading a comment below that was complaining that he never says I love you to her at the end, I hadnt noticed it, but sure enough! She says it to him a few times and he just stays quiet. You know he loves her but now its bugging me, like that bad vibe where one party is in love and the other doesnt want to commit or give false hopes so says nothing, lol.
Anyway, awesome as always, again, thanks for writing it and sharing!!
Yours was the best romance story I have ever read in Literotica. Keep it up and write more.
Really enjoyed this wonderful story!
This is one that everyone can appreciate.
The focus is on the good within people which is a refreshing change from all the cheating and other negative behaviors in so many stories.
A 5+ for this excellent tale!
A Tale rich in content, thought and is VERY well written. Your knowledge of the Martial Arts, particularly the philosophy many of us try to live, was impressive as well. This was beyond, SO far beyond a typical read and spank the monkey that it nearly defies description. An ACTUAL, fully developed story (with some very nicely written spice) like you would read in a book or something. I will be reading your other work as well. WELL DONE, Sir!
Page 5:
Jeff put a finger under her chin and tilted her head up so he could look her in the eyes. "Sarah, I don't just care about you, I love you."
Even though she knew, felt it in every bone in her body, he NEVER said I love you. Why? Words even if not necessarily needed are still extremely important. So tell me author why didn't the hero say I love you? THAT has always bothered me ever time I read this beloved story.
There is real emotional depth to this story which rewards reading and re-reading. The story draws the reader in from the start and makes you really care about the characters. Jeff, the eponymous hero, is filled with self doubt, Sarah is damaged and her family have suffered right along with her yet somehow the story manages to heal these damaged people without ever being cloying or overly sentimental.
This definitely will be read and re read. You have a way with words, please continue to grace us with your written talents
One of the best stories I've read on here by far. Definitely want a part 2 but if it's going to happen i'm still happy with this one. 5 stars and going in my favorites for sure
I liked your story very much. It touches my heart. Gratefull for your effort.
I keep rereading this Story again and again.
Would really appreciate a continuation of this story
I have read this numerous times and can't stop. One of the best, I keep looking for a damn 20 button because 5 is not enough.
Such a beautiful and loving story.. In my favorites read many times.

great story telling.
shifting back and forth from 1st person to 3rd within paragraphs was a bit awkward at times but the intent and storyline were maintained.
thanks
This story keeps drawing me back for another read. Yes, I liked this story if could give it more than a five star rating I would.
The above title says how i feel after reading it through.
As the expression goes " it don't get any better than this." Please consider, and do, a follow up to this.
