As soon as oshaw indicated that "Randi" touched this story, I knew her agenda would stain the undertones of the original arc. Oshaw, before you associated with that "crowd" your stories were uniquely flavored. They may not have been always and completely liked, but at least they stood on their own. This story is lost some of that as soon as I began seeing parts of her "work" on here. Tsk tsk.

There were many errors in it as well, so I'm not exactly sure what she meant to edit.

A fantastic story. Life can be messy and complicated. We all have to grow up and see things through different lenses. As demonstrated in this story communication is vital. Misunderstandings are going to happen. Maturity comes by seeking council from those you trust and then making an informed decision. Mike got his world rocked, and i would dare say that it would take most people a little while to wrap their head around something like that. Kudos to the author for having her quit after their date. That showed her desire for better things. I would like to think that Mike would have got there even without dads intervention as it took place B4 :) they proceeded into their relationship. Love is not always easy but is always necessary. .

The mom and dad's story was great, could have been the whole story.

Mike was far too immature to have been allowed to get married.

I can appreciate his despair, I think he was somewhat immature in how he reacted. So he was forced to grow up and look at things honestly. The confusion about Fitzgeralds is understandable. In this instance, the ignorance was definitely to his benefit. Hers too, if I’m honest. - This is a wonderful story of redemption, and true love. A very easy 5/5

A lot of thought in this. Too good for just a 4, so I bumped it up.

Great story. It clearly states the MC and Lila were lovers after she moved in with him. Thought the story within a story was top notch. Nice twist with the names of Mary and Dawn for Kate and Mary. MC was overly melodramatic regarding Lila and Fitzgeralds. It it in the past. He has no proof that she did anything beyond dancing and stripping. Get a grip. So what if she went out with a couple of the rich patrons. He had girlfriends before Lila. Move on in love. Lila clearly adores him. Of course not entirely sure why give how he reacted the night of their wedding. Yikes. As always 5 blazing stars with this author.

AnonymousAnonymous7 months ago

I was as intrigued as the Anon who posed this query:

"I have to admit I got lost a bit. You gave the impression that they had their first time together during their wedding night. And then Lila is pregnant. So, who dunnit?"

So I went researching into the story. Found this nugget of info:

"From the second date, we moved to our third and then our fourth and so on until we were basically shacking up together at my place. I finally convinced her to drop her lease and move in with me as a money saving proposition. We instantly adapted into our newly found status as roommates, best friends, and lovers.

I took her home to meet my parents during Christmas and they fell in love with her..."

Makes sense, if any?

AnonymousAnonymousabout 1 year ago

Too many holes in the plot to enjoy the story. A recurring theme with this author which indicates an unwillingness to do even perfunctory research. That's plain lazy.

To any who wonder if the author is still out there, he is.

The two comments I had left from prior stories that were not glowing recommendations but instead pointed out flaws in plot were deleted.

Mut be the author's form of justice.

That speaks more to me than anything the author could write.

Good story although Mike is kind of a wuss. Turned down multiple times then uses a favor type scenario to ask her out again, and when she says no AGAIN he makes her feel guilty about it? Mike is that creepy guy that never takes no for an answer. It worked out here because it's a story, irl not so much

Poor Mike missed the grow-up pill, got his degree, and was still a sophomore. Weak dick.

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 2 years ago

If she was a stripper without him knowing it while they were dating, I could see his issue. However, shaming her for being a stripper BEFORE they were boyfriend/girlfriend is ridiculous. What a tool and what a dumb premise to base a story on.

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 2 years ago

The skill of this writer made it a 5. Even though I, too, wondered why, given what he already knew of her sad background, why having been a stripper would be such a big deal. Still, QuickMagazine suspended disbelief, as is the QM wont, and was suitably moved. Interesting also to note that in the intro, oshaw noted a hiatus (it HAD been almost two years between "I" and "J"). There's been a 4-year hiatus since "Kept" (which I'll read next). Is it too much to hope for that these 4 years are another hiatus, and not a retirement? (or worse)

What a Bard. Frustrating forward, then a harrowing thriller. A romantic conclusion (don't judge a book by its cover?) Cool.

The twist saved this story; otherwise the whole thing would have hinged on Mike who's a holier-than-thou hypocrite. Thank god for the dad's backstory, which was quite gripping. 5

I almost didn't finish reading this story. The "dickhead," Mike, needed his bride to take him by the balls and march him to a judge and have the marriage annulled. The weasel dickhead couldn't and can't be trusted to be a father. She is better off raising her kid by herself.

The cliche about girls putting themselves through collage by stripping but being good and faithful girls at heart always makes me chuckle a bit.

The willingness to bare your tits to strangers instead of buckling down and spending a 10 hour shift on your Saturday and Sunday behind the counter of your nearest fast food restaurant speaks volumes to character and morals of said girls. Besides, anybody really worth receiving a collage education should be able to get good grades while holding down at least a part time job. If you can't then you simply aren't college material. Full stop.

Love is a life sentence. Sex is an accepted pass time among consenting adults. Exotic dancing is a legal profession that pays well. Men, (and some woman), enjoy or get titilated watching young beautiful woman dance, so? Would a gal watching male hunks dance have the same attitude? As some have voiced in their remarks. People are people some of us have questionable morals and others condemn them or any on they deem that don't 'measure' up to their standards. Did you here the one about this guy was looking for the perfect girl? After years he finally found her, problem was she was looking for the perfect guy! Good story

Long intricate story but the right ending.fsr as I am concerend.

dgfergiedgfergieover 3 years ago
We all have pasts

Worked with guy that talked about his wife and how much he respected her.

He also talked about the woman/girls he screwed before he married he. He explained you keep nice girls nice without mentioning the girls he had sex with. Bit of a double standard wouldn't you say! Men want sex, woman want sex, but men want a pure woman, give a break. I married a 19 year old with a 2 year old, she had more experience with sex than I had at 24. Like I said give me a break men want a virgin, but they want sex any time?...................................

Disappointed

Thought you had a good premise, but the story was too predicable.

AnonymousAnonymousover 3 years ago
Mike represents most men's reactions. Only losers would be ok with it.

Mike is completely justified in his reaction. Any man worth his salt wouldn't marry a woman from the sex entertainmeny industry. Only betas, cucks and no confidence losers would marry a Lila without seriously second guessing them.

Far too wordy

A good story, though far too long in the telling.

She was a stripper, was honest about it and told him.

What was his problem with that???

I would have had more trouble with her bitch attitude.

All well and good.

Basic message was that loose morals are good for everyone.

Did she?

Not all strippers are prostitutes, but would you believe Lila? How did she get pregnant if she was abstaining before marriage???

someoneothersomeoneotherabout 4 years ago
Half the story was great

The basic story was good, but all the parental back stories left me uninterested and disbelieving.

Mike was too self-righteous an asshole. He knew Lila's background, and here was a person with no family and no money trying to survive and advance, while Mile benefited from family that paid for everything. Who is the hero here? If I was Lila, I would have dropped Mike, because he was not deserving of her.

What a fantastic piece of quality literature! Brilliantly written story that wasn't predictable and the plot twist was totally believable. It's a captivating and romantic read that teaches you that people can recover their lives despite past mistakes!

About Time He Got

His head out of his ass, it happened before they got together and stopped immediately after the first date. It isn't a bar, it's BAR as in Browning Automatic Rifle, problems being heavy with a slow rate of fire in modern (?) warfare, but it didn't jam. Bob Seger is from Detroit, Michigan, concert tickets there seem to sellout in 0 time. My all time favorite has always been "Old Time Rock and Roll", but that wouldn't have worked nearly as well as "...Main Street" in this gem. Signed: BTW

The MARINES did NOT have a weapon called a bar in Vietnam. We had automatic weapons in the squad that were M-14's converted to automatic. Also there was a weapons platoon consisting of three squads, consisting of 18 men- 13- M-60s and 5 rocket launchers. At least it was this way in 65 and 66 when I was there in the MARINES!!!

I enjoyed this quite a bit. Mike was a turd of the highest order, but the rest of the family was great. Nice seeing both of the gang guys get taken down. And the twist at the end with the father was well done.

I liked everyone in Mike's family...

... except Mike. From the start with the rich douche who tried to buy their place I thought Mike was an asshole. He improved a little bit when he first met Lila and helped her out with her car and the class she was trying to pass but went back to his asshole roots later. By the end of the story I hadn't really changed my impression of him.

Every other person in his family was great. The story of his parents was very touching and it was nice that they followed their hearts and found love together. Honestly, Lila deserved much better than the behavior she got from Mike. While I understood his hesitation to marry someone who used to be an exotic dancer, the way he reacted when he found out was cowardly and selfish. Such a shame he couldn't be the man his father was.

Original, and refreshing because of that *****

Original plot ! and great twist when revealing Dawn is really his mother!

I can comply thought that the story teller's point of view is a little wimpy... I don't know how to word it but being shaken by news untils the rugs appears to be pulled from under you is one thing... Going out to think and recenter yourself is more than alright, but complain that much ? Hum... Fearing what is entourage think or will do to him ? Hisch... Not so mature and well enough in his own skin. Make it fear to disapoint your mother because you respect and love her so much... Not cringe a the thought of a swat behind the head from his pop.

And even if a lot of the flashbacks added up solid foundation to better accede the story, it is a lot of fillings not so relevant some times, if at all... the one about Vietnam doesn't do very much here? Again about the whole recap about Dawn telling where she worked. And I think there must be a better way to tell how he got under her defenses. The dad could have cut is story in two resuming just the first half before he met Dawn to 2 small paragraphs... Would have helped keeping rythm steady in the main story.

Hey but i'm done with the suggestion points. I gave 5 stars and I would give that again. It's too easy being a critic without having experienced critic on the receiving end. The reading was still worth those 5 stars. And it is bookmaked!

Keep the good work !
