All Comments on 'Nature Reserve Tax'

3*. Really wanted to give more, but the telling was too rote. It was more of a factual sketch for use in a future story. Sort of an outline.

Nice be gentle romance, perfect for a summer day.

Another really fine story, crisply told. Once again, thank you for continuing to write and post.

I see the point of hindsight2020's comment, but don't really agree about this story. (I made somewhat similar remarks about one of your other recent stories, as you know.) In this case, there seems to me to be more feeling, and especially more actually on-stage interaction between the main characters. It might be slightly better if (say) we got to see and hear some of Alan's discussions with his lawyers; it certainly would be a longer story, and in this case the brevity is one of its virtues, to my eyes at least.

Very nice touch that his wife had divorced him because she loved horses more than she loved him, and (it seems clear) because he was too busy working at building his company to really work at making his marriage work. Very plausible, that, and it made her willingness to hand over her detectives' reports absolutely natural.

In so many ways this is the kind of thing a romance story should be. Keep up the good work!

JMO Lit needs more "sweet" stories.

But needed more depth.

in an otherwise "good little story".

Felicity rings, wanting to borrow the minibus "today".

He goes at ten thirty "the next morning".

Love conquers all difficulties

Sweet as ever
