I have just read this story and it was excellent reading and cannot wait too see Connie and Sarah become lovers and maybe get married because they deserve each other brilliantly written and I have just read this to-day and hope they become lovers for ever.
I love this. LOVE IT.
Thanks for such a wonderful and tender story. Looking forward to Part 2.
... and this sure didn’t help. So adorably sweet and loving. You are truly a talented writer. What’s more, despite the fact that you’ve already written the end I won’t accept any other ending than a happy one!
Only the start, and you've outdone yourself JC. I'll be watching the space anxiously.
Thank you
I don’t usually read long stories.
But I’m hooked on this, I can’t wait to see Connie and Sarah fall in love and see how their relationship develops.
More please.
Loved Nanny Sarah....
Hate to push, but can we please have Part 2 asap please.......
Pretty please with lots of sugar on it ;)
Thank you
I really enjoyed this first installment of your fine romance. I am looking forward to your next offering. I am hoping for a Christmas, a New Year's, a wedding, and a child of Sarah's own.
I loved this story, I don’t usually read longer stories but I’m totally hooked on this.
I can’t wait to see where this leads and hopefully the love of Connie and Sarah will flourish.
More please.
This was truly amazing! Your writing is fantastic and Connie’s family is about to grow! I can feel it! Waiting on the next part!
Wonderful story; could not put down. Hope next piece arrives soon.
You're definitely talented at drawing me into your stories. Excited for the next part!
First off I loved this as a whole and cannot wit to see just how and where ti all goes in the next instalment. Sure there are a few things that might need a bit more polish (like some errors here and there and a sentence or two that didn't make sense in my head), but overall the execution was perfect, the characters have real life in them and the story is relatable and easy to follow. The only "complaint" really is that I have to wait for part 2 (or even 3)...
A clear 5*
Brilliantly written. Love how you put so much thought into the little details such as the Xmas' decorations descriptions!
I'm eagerly waiting for the continuation (mean of you to use such a cliffhanger) :(
I was beginning to give up hope of finding any more slow-burn, romance stories, but then I found your latest offering. Thank goodness for you JC! I am loving Connie and Sarah’s story. You have a talent for writing romance and I cannot wait for the next instalment. Please don’t keep us waiting too long. Much love and many thanks.
Your story made me tear up a few times. ZaZu’s petals! Yes keep it coming!
"Someone to laugh with, a shoulder to cry on..." The absolutely perfect motto for any kind of loving relationship, regardless of orientation. This heartwarming story just begs to become a favourite for all readers; lovely characters, lovely situations (and more to come). Great work, JC.
I am really enjoying this story, and I cannot wait for the next installment. I fell in love with both of the main characters, and I am curious to find out what happens to each of them as the story continues....
This is a fantastic start to a great story. I can't wait for the rest of the story. Your ability to weave all the characters together is truly a wonderful gift, thanks for sharing it with us.
You have written one of the most romantic chapters I’ve ever read on this site. The story so far is simply beautiful. You developed your characters perfectly. You made it so easy to fall in love with Connie, Sarah and little Heidi. However, I’m really cautious of reading the next chapter with the hanging statement you left us.
Read it straight through and didn't even care there was no real sex. Gorgeous writing ( type-o's aside) really falling in love with your wonderfully relatable characters and expert pacing. Awaiting the next installment(s) with baited breath. Please, dont keep us on this cliff too long;) Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent. GOD bless
Amazing!
I'm in awe of your story. I can't wait to see the rest of the story. I really hope it doesn't end badly.
One of the most romantic stories I have ever read on this site of anywhere. Your character development from Connie and her friends and family to her daughter Heidi and her playmates to Sarah and her parents it all plays out beautifully. The fact that Connie and Sarah have not even shared a kiss just makes this even better and me wanting to read Chapter 2, 3 and however long it might go. Thank you for the brilliant submission.
Except for your tenses, It is lay in bed, not lied. Can't wait for the next one. It had better end in a wedding.
This story gave me the feels in all the good ways. A slow love story to build up and see where these two go. I love it, and can’t wait for more to read about them. Also loving the longer pages, def gives and keeps me wanting and reading more. Thank you.
There are a few authors on Literotica who simply take my breath away...It's like they are always able to find the perfect combination of ingredients to create something wonderful. I want to be able to convey what I think and feel about your work(s) and yet I find that I am unable to find the right combination of words to do it properly. Needless to say, I can't wait to read the rest.
I absolutely loved this first part of the story! Please continue it. These slow burn stories are my absolute favorites. Waiting anxiously for the rest.
Thank you for your time and effort. This is exactly what I needed I feel so invested and excited. Your writing is wonderful, I can not wait for more.
Thank you
Loved the story - it works, Only negative is that the proof reading is lacking and for some it detracts from the enjoyment. Can't wait for the rest of it. Thanks!
JC, Thank you for a restless night. Didn't sleep at all. Yawning all day!! I really couldn't stop reading.
I am sure the next part will keep me awake as well. So I will probably read that one in the morning....
Great story!!!
Can't wait for part 2!!! I will check Literotica every day!!! Please, publish it soon :-*
I know how often I get comments asking me to write faster.. and how sometimes I just can’t.. but I’m about to be that reader.. more please!!!
This is the first story I've read after being gone for several months and I fell totally in love with it. I can't wait to see how Connie and Sarah's relationship progresses. Five well deserved stars.
Just finished...now i need the last parts
Thank you!
Well written. Excellent believable dialogue. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Love the story. It could be on any Hallmark channel. Hope to see more real soon.
This is a well written story with excellent character development. Love the slow build but admit I can’t wait til their first kiss. Every page I read made me wanting more to read. Can’t wait til the next part comes out, hopefully it will be a happy ending!
Can’t wait for the next chapter to find out how they become a complete family.....loved your writing...thanks for sharing
Wonderfully written tale. There's nothing that lifts my heart more than a good lesbian romance or romance in general.
OK, I haven't even read this yet, but I rushed right to the comments to tell you how thrilled I am that there's another JCMcNeilly story to read. I obviously can't comment yet on the content, but I have complete confidence that it'll be wonderful.
OK, I'm going to stop gushing now and go back to the beginning to savor this slowly.
A fantastic story, written so beautifully. Has gripped me from the moment I started reading..... Just cannot wait for the 2nd helping.
Well done and thank you.
I really loved The Tennis Pro, and think this story is fantastic as well. I can't wait for the next part to be uploaded. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Nanny Sarah just warms the heart, as Connie's & Sarah's relationship develops from work to friendship and hopefully lovers. I feel that Heidi will be "all in for Mommy" having Sarah as a very special friend. I am breathlessly awaiting part-2, since now being completely enamored with the introduction.
Please continue your "great story telling" and Nany Sarah Was Definitely 5*-Star Reading!!!!
I loved the story so far! I can’t wait to see what happens next. I am worried that you aren’t going to let them be together. But hopefully you will let their love grow!
Also you could be writing romance novels! This was beautiful and I felt the pain and excitement. Can’t wait for part 2!
stories I’ve read so far. Please post the next part soon!!!! Also I really hope they’ll end up together. I would be devastated if it’s not going to be the case.
First time leaving a comment on a story. Well worth the effort.
Love the writing style and the characters.
Oh, and Muppets Take Manhattan.
Wonderfully written and the details are amazing! Thank you!
A really wonderful story. Wish there were more than another two parts to look forward to.
I fell in love with Sarah and Constance and most especially with wonderful, wonderful Heidi.
OMG!!! I love Sarah and Connie...and Heidi of course. Can't wait to read the rest of their story. Thank you.
Your ability to add detail and such an emotional depth make this story frighteningly real and engaging. I’ve already finished all three parts, but came back to comment and say I can’t wait for another story by you. You really have a talent for pulling people’s heart strings. And making a girl’s basement flood!
This is some incredible writing, with so much emotional depth. All I can think of to say is thank you.
What a wonderful story. So well written.The characters are alive and lifelike. Well done *
Other than some trouble with correct pronoun usage, well done.
Remember to use the same pronoun in the plural form as in the single form.
Give the book to me. Give the book to her and ME. Not: Give the book to her and I.
What a wonderful, warm and heartfelt story of 1 woman, Connie searching for love and another, Sarah searching for acceptance. Hopefully they will find what they long for with each other and throw little Hidie into the mix and you have a great family.
I have no idea how to properly convey how wonderful this story is. The slow build of Connie and Sarah's relationship is an absolute delight. They're both realistic characters, so much so that Connie's anguish and hurt is your anguish. It's so easy to lose yourself as Connie, especially if you've been in a closeted/unknown situation.
Seeing how Sarah acts prior to her parents' arrival is incredibly authentic, you can feel her internal panic. The forced distance, the pain that both are feeling is so palpable and then the makeup breakfast, letting the readers know that things will be ok. It's truly a delightful read, I love all three parts of this story.
Too many feels, my eyes are blurry but I can't put it down *sniff*
Wonderful story!
This is a wonderful story. It has made me laugh, smile and show other emotions. I'm currently reading it instead of sleeping (haha).
Lovely story.
What a fantastic story. Had me giddy, had me teary-eyed, couldn't wait to get to the next page and now the next chapter. You are a very talented author. Thank you for writing this. Just wish it was closer to Xmas when I read it.
I've only read the first chapter (so far), I like slow and gentle the way the story is unfolding. There is time spent on getting to know the characters, so that you start to care for them.
This is what I would call a real "Erotic" story. It's not a story of people having sex. But, a story about the people who have sex (???)(I've only read chapter one and it is full of romance).
I can not wait to read the following two chapters.
otherwise it would have been 5 stars. It’s aside you just gave up with the story, got bored with it or something.
Wow .... What a storie and quality ..... Very lovely .... Thank you
Adored this, simply wonderful, so much so that after giving it five stars I am going in to part 2.
Well said previously: use the same pronoun whether it is by itself or paired with another.
“having an animated discussion about Sarah and I.” One would say “having an animated discussion about me” so one should say “having an animated discussion about Sarah and ME.”
Mommy and sweetheart and other words when used as names need to be capitalized and when used as simple nouns are not capitalized.
You are my favorite writer! Some people may complain about pronouns and such, but your story is loving and tells a complete tale. Please keep writing!
When the stories are consistently as good as yours are, it not only illustrates the talent of a good writer and storyteller, it reveals a depth of commitment to produce a best effort. I already love your storytelling for its clarity, and depth of emotion. Recognizing that higher level of care and dedication to your craft makes me appreciate your stories even more.
Thank you for sharing all this with us.
Great story, JC.
My only criticism is that Heidi doesn't talk or behave like a 3-year-old, but a much older girl.
Oh you know how to end a chapter!! Can hardly wait to move on but have to do something except read today. 5 stars
A wonderful read. My first story of yours - won't be the last. Great emotion and details.
I am *terrified* of reading chapter 2, because the capsule synopsis mentions tragedy that could destroy the budding romance between a nanny and her employer, and what immediately pops to mind is the death of the employer's child.
Am I going to read chapter 2 anyway, yes. But maybe not today.
Wonderful. Outstanding. I only hope chapter 2 does not bring heartache (for me or the characters)
Okay that was wonderful, just wonderful, but that ending line has me extremely worried.
I rarely get teary eyed but the part on decorating the tree almost had tears running as it made me rember past Christmases of my youth.
The story was well written, great details and emotions. But for my reading time it was not worth the wait to not get the ending.
"But everything changed one week later."
... when the Fire Nation attacked?
Wow. Just wow. Loved the time and effort you put into world building on this story. Look forward to seeing what happens in the future.
I enjoyed the story, but had to agree with a previous comment, felt it was too long. Without any conclusion.
I love how this story progressed. It’s a slow burn, but very sweet. By the time I get to the end I care about the characters and I’m rooting for them. And this being a subsequent read through, I know the details about the characters pasts and family dynamics plays a part on future interactions. The plot is well planned out.
Great story and despite the detractors opinions that it’s too long, I don’t think that at all, it’s a slow ratcheting increase in tension and (hopefully) mutual attraction. I suspect that given JCM’s other stories we’ll have a happy ending, but as any seasoned traveller will tell you, it’s all about the journey, not just the destination, HEA’s have to be earned after all. 😉
Many thanks for writing and posting, cheers Ppfzz.
Absolutely Adorable story!!!! I am totally engrossed. They characters are a Total delight. Truly Wonderful and definitely one of my favorites. Thank you!!!!!!!
This site needs a "sweet" and "wholesome" tags for stories like this. Keep up the great work.
A beautiful and heartwarming story, I really really like it.
thank you very much
