Both for this wonderful story and for promising a new story to console us for ending this one

Hi, Thank you for telling us in advance that it's a 4 part series, and for posting the chapters so efficiently one after another. I am not sure if it's your good writing skills, the intense storyline, or the 2 extremely likable characters, or maybe it's all of the above, but this has become one of my favorite stories on this site. I would love to read your other work as well! I have read all the chapters more than twice - still drawn to Rand and Opal and the story of how they met. Love it!
A very well told story. I was enthralled by Opal. I think the way you let us know about her background was brilliantly done. Super!
Thank's for that story, and i must add that i love your style of writing
Your writing is clear, descriptive, very easy to read. I love how you develop your characters as you develop your plot. You say much without wasting words, a very light, readable style. I should write as well. Please keep writing.
Writing by this author transcends the site. One of only a select few on the site at this level, and we await further opportunity to enjoy her works.
I love how they were able to heal each other. I'm a sexual abuse and rape survivor. I often read stories of non consent as a way of healing. I found my partner and we roleplayed a lot of the traumatic events in my life just like Rand and Opal were able to do. It's amazing how powerful it is to relive the trauma with guarantee of safety. Thankful you wrote this story and I found it.
I love love love this story. Especially Rand. I just can't help thinking if it's really possible- how quickly she physically recovered from the ordeal - to be able to have sex the next day. Even if she came her body would still be incredibly sore right?
Also would love a sequel where rand kills her step dad
It's my sincere hope that I can one day be even half the writer that you are.
Hell Steffi...you write so well!! :)) wasn't The Long Betrothal your story?:)) Coming out of mazes of non con obstructions....Opal and Rand's love for each other is actual love people can only dream of ever having!! :))and Opal is awesome!! :))
also lovely title of the series...and lovely names chosen for you female and male lead!! :))
Was the "Easter egg"in this story too obvious to comment upon? Or too subtle to "get"? I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who did notice--without spoilers, a'course! ~Stef
If my "Easter egg" actually is too subtle to catch, rather than being too obvious to remark upon, use the comment form & I'll email you. Don't worry-- you won't be signing up for anything! I'd love to hear back if you have egg-improvement advice, though. :) ~Stef
Oh my God!
I believe this is the one and only story I’ve ever read here that I’ve given all five stars to.
I can’t think of a single negative thing to say about it.
I have read a few stories that I thought would make good publishable books with some work. Usually I meant if they expanded it to be long enough for a book, or had enough for a collection of stories. But also, I meant they’d likely need some help with editing (ex. grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.).
You however... I’m not sure you’d need any kind of help. I’m definitely no expert, but everything about your writing seemed near perfect to me.
Please tell me you are going to try to get published! This story definitely deserves to be.
This was one of the best series I’ve ever read on here!!! Please write more!!!! I absolutely loved the storyline and main heroine and hero. They were perfect for each other. Great plot!
I just read it for like the 2oth time, and it's still one of my favorite stories on here. The writing itself is asgood as the story and I barely ever get to say that on this site! Keep writing, Steffi!!
Excellent read. I enjoyed it all. Great writing skills. Definietly worth a re-read!!
I adore this story but somehow didn’t favorite it when I first read it five years ago. I just found it after searching for “Olympic” (yay search function!!!!) and it was just as good as I remembered. Thank you for writing such an amazing story.
I've read an unhealthy amount of stories on this site and this is officially in my top 5 (at least 2 others of yours are in that bracket). Thank you for sharing your talent and imagination with me and the world. I can't even express the sins I'd commit if I met you in real life, with our without your participation. Thanks again, I hope you don't get worn out by how much you'll forever be running around my mind.
The violence and rape put me off but the depth of character development compensated for it. Will read more of you.
