All Comments on 'Julie'

So, write a novel already - I’d buy it.

Thanks - again *****

Just quit. The whole concept of the suit is preposterous because it is based on fraud and Catherine's lawyer knows this. The DA would bring charges against Julia and George would have his own suit.

I could accept that perhaps George would want to be part of his son's life but there is no way he's going to want to help raise some strange kid especially when the kids adopted mother was trying to screw him fraudulently.

Think I liked first version better.....

It was as a good story except there was very little elaboration. You jumped from the courthouse to building a house for everybody. Needed a lot more

This was entertaining enough but not any better than Annie. I gave it 4 stars but I guess Chas had a burning desire to write it but as a layman I just don't see the need. I do not mean do disparage Chas4455 as I have read quite a bit of his work and have enjoyed it.

At least in the first one he was Georgie's bio-dad which was incentive for him to step up and be his dad. In this one, I don't think he would have pursued this relationship. He would maybe feel his bio-clock ticking, married Norma Jean and started a family of his own. Maybe a third attempt will be more plausible. I actually had no problem with the first one.

including that the kid can't be adopted without consent of the father or the termination of his rights. If the kid were his, he'd be entitled to custody. The lesbian is unrelated to the child.

Not sure what this has to do with Loving Wives. Beta-male raises someone else’s kid because why? Oh....beta-male.

You've got several of the legal details wrong which kinda destroys any chance the story had of being interesting or entertaining. Add to that the fact that he suddenly decides to be in the children's life and in the life of a woman that really wanted to hogtie his money and you really have nothing. Not good.

First and most importantly, I liked the story. Having said that, the whole Annie/Julie thing was like a constantly-churning bowl of alphabet soup. Annie was veracity-challenged (an habitual liar) as well as a serial cheater? Fine, I get it. Annie impersonated a woman she claimed was her brother's wife's sister throughout her relationship with George? Ummm, okay, although I suspect "Julia Rogers" was just another figment of her overactive imagination. "Anne Alexander" was a Finance major at UT-Austin? How could she have hidden that from George for a year, especially after he had been checking up on her? "Julie Rogers" worked at the fertility clinic? If that was the case, how could Catherine have been duped into believing "Anne" was in college for the duration of their relationship?

It might have made sense if Anne, as "Julie", worked at the clinic, had her relationship with George, left him, then went to college, meeting Catherine later. The thing is, the numbers don't add up. It had only been two years since she left George. How could "Georgie" be two years old at the time Catherine filed the paternity suit? There's that pesky thirty-six-week gestation period to complicate things.

Anne/Julie had to have been already pregnant or pregnant soon after for the timeline to work at all. Was Catherine one of Anne/Julie's hook-ups while she and George were still together? Did she suddenly tell Catherine one day "Hey babe, I'm pregnant. I know this great fertility clinic that made it easy and I just KNOW you will be on board with us having a kid." Had Anne/Julie attended college throughout her pregnancy? Or was the whole college thing another one of her cons - and then we're back to how she duped Catherine about it. Mister and Missus Foster were real enough; they wanted in on their grandchild's life. Bobby Alexander? Uh, maybe. It certainly fits with Anne/Julie's personality. Was everything else about Anne/Julie a complete fabrication?

If only Chas had written that Anne/Julie had been out of George's life THREE years, instead of two...

If someone adopts a child from a deceased partner, haven’t they assumed all responsibility? Is the prior ‘other parent’ relevant at all?

And from there you just glossed over a TON of stuff so... whatever.

I was ok with first version, not much difference here.

I'll go with version one

"But darling, what will my loving wife say if she finds out I'm fucking my editor?"

"Doofus, I am your loving wife."

Well worth the wait.

I liked it and would love the longer Novel version.

Thanks!

What was the purpose behind this story? Every story should have a: 1. beginning, 2. rising action, 3 climax, 4 falling action, and 5, resolution. There was no climax in the story, no contention anywhere. This story, similar to the original, was very cut and dried with no emotions or excitement.

Story?

4-stars

been there done that, was a bit boring for me. good writing though

Better ending and more believable.

Read this before except for the last part after the emd

Stupid story about a stupid beta male.

Nice to read a positive story with a positive ending once in a while. No real trauma, no cheating spouses. Good job writing.

Liked the rewrite good work. The ending made it.

Complete waste of time. Why bother. I mean really.
