This read like teenagers not knowing how to date at all, kind of weird that they're in their 60s behaving like that. Good story overall though.
A beautiful finish to a lovely, nuanced tale. So lovely to read about love and romance in retirement.
I gave you solid five stars. I liked the characters development and the suspense right to the end where I finally discovered who would be his mate. The intimacy wasn't overdone.
What a great series! Thank you for the great writing and a wonderful read :)
WOW, the end! Surely going to miss this story. 25 BIG FAT SHINNY FUCKING STARS for this fine story.
The story is well written, lots of character development and drama.
If the author was trying for flawed faulty unlikeable characters then this story was a huge success.
He was as unfaithful and selfish as he was unstable. How could he have sex with 2 other women while professing his love for a third.
She was just a conniving selfish bitch playing stupid mind fuck games. She deserved to be left out in the cold with no one to love.
The reconciliation between him and his ex wife was just out and out stupid. You don't be the victim of someone's hatred and vitriol for 12 years, and then suddenly you are magically best friends and you want only the best for them. Just pure and plain bullshit. Him doing that doesn't make him a "good guy". It just lessens the quality of the story as it slips down from fiction to fantasy.
I think he was so dumb and thoughtless that he actually deserved his first wife with their sick relationship.
Nice story, even if I don't understand the authors' obsession with marriage.
It must be generational.
Between being friends with benefits and with sex sessions as the only link, and being obligatorily married, there are a multitude of relationship possibilities.
You can be life partners, live together 100% of the time or not, even have children or not, be exclusive or not, and not be married.
Saying Yes, taking vows, being faithful to yourself and to your own conception of partnership, doesn't have to be done in front of other people and in a church.
This last story seems false to me.After several months of dating Marci,she suddenly tells him to go to Allie,as she tells him yet again she didn't need marriage,which he obviously is too thick to understand.As for Allie, she has deliberately held him at arm's length,but when Marci sends him to her,she drops her knickers straight away.Not for me.
Loved the story but I think the author watched the Hallmark channel too much, lol. Glad that Ted and Allie finnnaly got their sh*t together and tied the knot, but what a struggle getting there. Maybe Pam and Lenny could go on a date just to tie up the loose ends, naaaaa. Good story.
