Such a lovely story. So much heart!
Thanks for your "kindness TO a stranger'...Me!
Your story had me in tears. I loved a young man i pushed away because of fear i still hurt and regret i pushed him away. This life we get is fleeting, fraught with joy and pain. Who are we to judge our opportunities to love and be loved in return.
Your story was wonderful. You have the gift of telling a great story. At the risk of sounding nuts, it is the gift of Hemmingway, Faulkner and WEB Webb. A great story with a great theme and a great ending, which is actually the beginning. For anyone that has had a tough time it is their story. Thank you. (The sex scenes were great as well.)
thank you for sharing it with all of us.
As usual, I logged onto this site to be titillated and aroused. Usually, if there's no sex by page 2 I wander off to another story. At the end of page 4 I think they'd had a peck on the cheek, but still I wanted to read more.
I think this is the first story I've read on Literotica where I actually cared about the characters. Well done!
This is a great story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.
This was a wonderful story. It was a story of friendship, compassion and love even before the physical aspects came into play. Well written. It made you feel good.
Wonderful story 2 outstanding and compasionate charecters - fantastic
This story is a real gem and was a real pleasure to read.
KLN
A major attempt would be byound belief! Great job and showss that just maybe the the good guys do finish first sometimes!
Best story I've read, it kept me at the edge of my seat as I read this story. It just continued slowly but continually building to the climax like a fine aged wine.
this is the best story i have read in long long time and have been reading stories here for over 10 years and my first comment i thank the author
My wife always makes my day, as do my three children and three grand children, but for today this story comes next. Thank you! Gave it a '5' and a 'favorite'! Dan
A great read.Real depth and feeling.Good build up and great climax.I'll look forward to reading more of your work.Many thanks.
Darn near perfect. I'm a sucker for real character development, a good plot line and slow build up. "Home" delivered on all fronts. A great read. Five stars all the way. Thanks!
the first time I read it and more every time since, and I have lost count
Thanks for sharing this entertaining love story!!! "The sex was a nice bonus"
Part 2 could be a little revenge on Aunt Marie's useless kids, as well as a continuation of the 'cougar'.
Excellent work especially out of your usual genre. Internal dialog top notch and refreshingly so.
Great story with great believability. Would also like to see it continued to see them put it over on her sons and his Aunt Maries sons and her taken care of. Also more of the hot sex like they had with other dimensions (her breasts, anal, etc.) even maybe her getting her tubes untied and having a kid or two.
One of the best stories, I have read in Literotica. You bought tears to my eyes. Of course the sex was also good.
Yes you must certainly continue this story. Even though Paula, might not be able to have children, I hope you make her pregnant with Jamies child.
Keep it up.
I am a 70yr old man with tears running down my cheeks from your wonderful story. Thank You very much.
This story was amazing I really like that you dont just jump into sex I liked it completely
This kept my interest all the way through and only showed that real love can be earned by a simple gesture. Absolutely enticing story, keep going on other chapters and let Paulas ex and her sons see how big axxholes they are for losing her.
Plausible story, compelling characters - I actually got a little misty towards the end. It isn't just a great subject, well written - the erotic content within the narrative is well wrought as well.
Bravo. Well written with character developement and real adult emotions. The sex was hot too. Hope to read more stories by you.
Your story touched my heart and left me with a few tears too. Thank you for sharing a beautiful story. I wish you well and hope that you too are loved like you love.
Great storyline, engaging characters and syntax. Well done. Without a doubt one of the best stories I've read on here.
Your story is well written, and encourages the reader to want to read more. You covered all the bases of getting to know who the principals are and how they reached the place they are in their lives. If all people communicated in this manner, the world would truly be a better place.
This is one of the very best stories I have read in a long time. Absolutely brilliant.
Thanks a LOT for giving us the pleasure of reading such a wonderful story.
I'm a 76 yr old male who came upon this story almost by accident. I agree with almost everyone who commented on this story from the one who called it fantastic to the ones who called for better copyreading. I'm not normally into romance stories. My tastes run more to Tom Clancey or Vince Flynn. I did not like your long book SWB. Life is too dark to read willingly that kind of story. I quite about chap 5 or 6. This, "Home is Where...", I want to read more of. I fear those jerky kids of her's and Aunty's. I'd only want to see them get it up their butts (painfully).
Wow, you really nailed it. I don't know how it could be better ! More, please!
Elegantly written; poignantly presented. The story will stay with me for ages.
spoiled only by a few jarring misuses of language. For example, the past tense of lie is lay. Unless it's about being dishonest, in which case it's lied. Words have meanings. Don't disrespect them. I gave you four for a fine story, despite the silly errors.
I really enjoyed this. Your plot is strong, but the few mistakes do detract from the story. Keep writing though!! You're definitely onto something!!
As others have said, yours is a beautifully written story in so many ways. It is marred only by some grammatical, syntax and spelling errors that could easily be corrected by diligent editing. As I have said to others posting here, get a copy of Strunk and White's "The Elements of Style". It is the writer's friend and, I believe, is available for FREE download if you but Google it.
Well developed. Good buildup. Believable wonder what happens to them.
wonderful story line and well written, needs another chapter bring his ant home so he can take care of her as a loving son since she has none to speak of.
Not a lot of hot sex, but well written, with some slow sexual tension.
A real story, with a lot of real romance, and a very good story to go with it. I enjoyed this to the very end, which was as good as leading up to it. I would read more...
Even with the missing words, spelling errors and iffy grammar. Thank you for focusing on the really important things we all face every day. A truly great story.
ps- change editors, or add another one.
This was one of the best stories I have read on here, it was just plain freaking great...hope you do a follow up
a beautiful love story even though the sex was a bit rushed with light anal near the end
i wish i could go back in time and start from 20-21...though i'm nearing 60 in just over
a years time .... sadly i've not been so lucky at love ,though i have a daughter, divorced with 4 grandchildren and a caring and loving boyfriend..
thanks for a wonderful story
like your other one chapter story between a mother and son this one needs a continuation
maybe write one about a middle aged medium-full bodied plain jane type woman and another young man down on his luck
Thank you for a great story. While I do like a great sex story the build up with this story made it just right. I hope to read more from you in the future.
I am amazed at this story. This is absolutely the best story I have ever read on Lit. What a story teller! Glad I found this story!
Home is where the heart is. As a woman who normally reads historical romance, this story was wonderful. Thank you. You give me hope.Thank you again Lovecraft68. You are quite the romantic writer. I appreciate the set up to the culmination of the caring of two adults. Thank you for NOT making a story of this genre seem sleazy.
An incredible read. It went briskly and smoothly for the most part, and while the initial piling on of unfortunate seemed a bit over the top, it ended up making the pay out even more worthwhile.
This is one of the most emotionally evocation stories I've read on Lit. I am impressed and deeply happy to have read it.
I've given a lot of five stars but there should be a special 10 star rating for this. I've not read better on this site and it is among the best of all that I have read anywhere.
Thank you!
I hv been skeptical about finding a good read here, but after reading dis story u mde a believer out of me. Awesome story. U deserve 10 stars.
I have never commented on a story before now. However I felt this one deserved a
hearty compliment.
It hit all my favorite points and was heavy on the romance.
An writer is like an artist, but you use words instead of colors to paint a picture. This was masterpiece!
I put you on my favorites list and will now go back and read your other story .
The best story I have read on this site.It deserves more than 5 stars.They don't get any better than this Thanks for writing it.
This is, indeed, really a story and one of the best I've read. I've read some of your other pieces, and so far this is my favorite. It certainly deserves the ratings it's gotten.
This is a amazing story.You have so wonderfully capture the feelings, its just mind blowing. It brings tears to my eyes. So nicely written. Certainly one of the best.
nice romantic, gentle story-well-written, with great sex scenes--nicely done, thanks
This story is quite literally perfect. Having been forced to live off handouts some time ago made the lead up very VERY real for me, though my situation was never that bad, I felt connection to that character like nothing ever. The lead up was perfect the sex scenes were detailed and yet managed to move with the ebb and flow of natural lovemaking. This story damn near brought me to tears. Bravo good Sir or Ma'am, I hope you won the contest. And also, I can count on one hand the number of stories I'd been compelled to coment on. Congratulations.
Nicely constructed story that you can imagine happening. Thoroughly entertaining read with well described lead characters. I have read this before and it gets better with each reading. Well done!
..a great story. I read your writing for the story itself. I am always sad to see them end.
And can't believe what a great story I missed out on.
So glad to have corrected that just now.
Maybe only too very lonely people can have such a great time finding each other.
I have to admit this is one of the most enjoyable stories I have ever read. Well written and very believable, and easy to relate to. Hats off to you. This wasn't one those stories that raced into sex, has a great story and a happy ending.
Five stars. A story full of heart and hope, too. And one to make a person think about more than sex.
Life is damn good. Thanks for showing it in your story.
Nicely written, but more importantly this story was really an enjoyable one to read.
Very nice writing, and thanks for taking the time to write it.
LTG
This story is the best I have read here. Period. You are tremendously talented. Please keep writing stories with a message like this one!! What a great story, lesson and result. Thank you!
of your stories I've read.... but it is definitely one of the best. It has, if you'll pardon the expression, a lot of heart, and it would be an enjoyable read, even if there weren't one minute of sex in it. Well done.
This was a great story with or without the sex... of course the incredibly hot sex made it even better. Great Job!
This was amazing, and i would love to read more. This was the first story i've read of yours. Now im going to start reading alot more of your stories. if you decide to write more on this story, im sure many of us would love to read it. :)
A little editing needed but the storyline and characters were absolutely perfect. I didn't want the story to end even though I chose this story because it doesn't run on and on. Dare I say I've found a favorite author and will be looking for more stories?!
~~D~~
This is a fantastic story, heartwarming, no back door sex, just plain loving between two individuals that come to really love the other . I must say I got a little misty eyed during the love making. Wish this 77 yr. old male body could have experienced something like this. Good story, keep them coming.............
A very happy story. It is what is in the heart and not what we have but it is so hard to make it in this world like that. On these pages it was wonderful to see. Very good story.
Damn you. You write the way I wish I could. You're a damn good writer and this was one of the best stories I've read. Thank you.
Absolutely great stuff. That was a great story actually, believable despite being pretty unbelievable. One of the best stories I've read on here actually. Well done and thanks!
Now this could have the bones of a good wee screenplay. Bit more humor and you've a rom-com with potential!
Cheers!!!
what a great guy to have met her and he treated her so well just because that was what he had been taught to do.....men should take note of this......loved the way the story rolled along and unfolded....the Valentines card was a touch of class...the dinner was great where they opened up to each other then finally making love to each other....what a lucky guy...what a lucky woman....what luck to have found each other...him because he was prepared to get off his ass and do something to earn a few bucks and her because she cared about him.....and a great end to the story....may they live long and enjoy each other for years to come...the deserve each other....loved it...another master piece....well done
You really do know how to tell a quality story, and I agree with you; erotica is the whole journey. Porn is just starting at the end and not showing how we got there. You never disappoint, and although this isn't your usual genre, quality will always tell. Thank you for another great read, worth 5.0 of anybody's points.
This story lightens me everytime i read it, its amazing and this story ends up all my frustrations. I may ask u for writing a sequel of this beautiful story, coz its so heart touching for me.
This would have been a great story even without the sex. Thanks. His need and her need seem to meet perfectly. In a different way, her life was just as tragic as his. That they found each other is great. No sequel need. This story stands on its own and there are no real loose ends that need to be tied up demanding another chapter. Thank you
I like the other side too, but this was a beautiful story. Sometimes being valued is more important than anything else.
Probably like most guys, I started reading this to read a hot steamy story. It definately delivers that in the end but by the time I got there I was more interested in these people than the sex so bravo! You developed quite an interest in very few pages which is a true challenge. I'd even dare to say I'd be curious where the lives of these two people go from here. Very well done.
I have yet to read your "other" stuff, but this was a super-satisfying read start to end. Relatable characters, smooth pacing and, as cherry on top, a steaming seduction. Thanks for the nudge, have five moon cookies :-)
Excellent job. Thank you.
It's so nice to read a story for grownups.
I have read a bunch and yours was in the top 5 percent. Thanks for the good work.
As a fat old guy I have been around and about a few times. This is the first time I have read this story and was completely enthralled the entire time. I did not find it to long, and it was a joy to read without a lot of spelling or grammatical errors. That always detracts from the story as you loose the story line trying to understand what the writer was intending to say. I will certainly read this author again.
Thank you for this read.
A wonderful story. Believable sex.
Nicely developed characters that you actually WANT to see them get together.
This story really did it for me. Not in a sexual way - to be frank, your bedroom scenes weren't any better or worse than much of what I've read here on Literotica - but in an emotional way. That's why I can, in good conscience, give this story the five stars it deserves. Thank you for sharing!
