⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely story,thank you very much.

For some reason the Detectorists theme song is running through my head. Spicy and sweet (but not not overly).

I actually got a little misty eyed…

Lovely story. Back to the land. And to the love of his life.

Nice. Always a pleasure to read your stuff!

A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y perfect! 5*

Nothing to fault, great story. 5⛤

Great story !

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟.......and so on and so on. What a great love story. We'll written characters burst with life and vitality. Not until the last page during Mike's meeting with Jane's mom where he "excepted" rather than "accepted " a handshake did I notice grammatical errors. I will be going back over this authors work.

Very, very nice story. Thanks 5/5

Excellent!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Loved it! Such a well-crafted romantic story. Must confess, eyes got quite misty upon the denouement. Mega kudos, five stars.

A beautiful story

Beautiful story, I was broken hearted when he left. Thank you for a wonderful tale.

Loved the intricate detailing of how you grew Michael into a man that accepted responsibility, prepared himself once he knew what he wanted, and didn't look back, taking charge of his life as best he knew how. 5

Absolutely beautiful story! moved me to tears,well told and lovingly developed. love your craftsmanship in your stories, my only regret is I cant score this one a ten! never stop turning out such great stories, thank you

Excellent! A beautiful story!!

Wonderful story. Thank you.

Brilliant. Managed to keep the ending hidden until close to the conclusion but I was hoping he would come back to Jane. 5⛤

Nice, really a very cool story

Sweet story. I had to rule out reason and just appreciate the end.

Awesome.

An exceptional tale! I realistically know that teen agers are not well enough developed emotionally or societally to know or appreciate where they are in life and what they truly need, but it Fantsyland some of them do indeed know. I thought there was too much emphasis on the sex in the middle and a couple of pages of that could have created more of a balanced story, but the taste of the story at the end was all good. Certainly worth a 5* rating with a genuine feel-good after-taste.

Sometimes we have to go elsewhere to find ourselves!

A good story - thank you.

Oh my goodness that was a fantastic story. You did an excellent job of bringing the characters alive. I was a little sad when it was over. You definitely have a gift.

Wonderful story, whilst I know nothing of Hoboken, I’m quite familiar with the area around New Quay on the Welsh west coast, sunshine and rain in equal quantities, along with a green so vibrant it looks like spring all summer long…

I loved your characters, you gave them that ring of authenticity, I knew a girl back in the period you wrote this in who dyed her hair black/pink/purple on a Friday evening and was a Siouxsie lookalike all weekend, but washed it out Sunday night and was back to being a regular dental nurse on Monday morning, I’ve never thought of her as a chameleon, but I will now, thank you.

I’ve got a couple of very minor gripes, firstly Janes speech phrasing seemed more Irish than Welsh, which kept throwing me off as I read, the other was Jane referring to “loathing Billy since first grade”, here in the U.K. we’ve never called our school years “grades”, back in the 80’s she’d have loathed him since either nursery school (kindergarten) or the first year of infant school (5-7yrs of age).

Gripes aside I loved this story, it’s a solid 5⭐️ and brought back lovely memories of working on a fruit farm the long hot summer after I’d left school but had yet to begin Technical College in the Autumn.

Many thanks for both writing and posting, cheers, Ppfzz.

Very good story, and very well written. Thank you, Mr Frankenstein. I will say that by about the fourth page I was suspecting Jane of being more of a multi-personality schizophrenic than a chameleon. I mean, she did display some drastic personality changes. But it all came together and seemed to end “happily ever after “. Yes, a great story.

Five stars.

Great story!

Thanks for such a beautiful story. I can rate it at within top 1% of more than 5000 stories I have read on this site for over last 7 years.

Always a great read. This is a story that I really love.

Lovely story.

What a truly lovely story. And what a gorgeous dream of a romance.

That was absolutely fantastic!

Beautiful. Thank you for this gift.

I'm on page 2. I love the story. but just to be pedantic, Newport (West Wales ) is about 20 miles south of Plump.

Going from Plump towards Newport, the sea would be on your right. Also 'Fech' is Irish not welsh.

I love the American and English dialog mix and look forward to reading on.

It's me again,

I've now read the whole story. I really liked it. I'm sure the author must have spent time in West Wales to get the story right

In my previous comment I mixed Newport and New Quay due to the odd spelling. New Quay and Plwmp are less than 7 miles apart, making the whole story accurate

Feck,and Grand are definately Irish and Jesus, Mary and Josphef is only said by Irish Catholics who have seen the light and emigrated here. My farming neighbours are Chapel and I was taught all my farming skills by them.

There are many small holdings here.

I live a few miles away and know New Quay and Plwmp well.

Thanks again for a great story.

I just read this for the second time and although some of it was familiar it still built to the same climax and left me with the same feel-good aftertaste. I now have a question in my mind about whether or not Jane planned the child, but it doesn't make any difference. I realize that the wild girl of the pre-Michael era changed as their relationship developed and her fidelity to him while he was gone was a little unusual, but somehow the whole package sill makes sense...and is still worth a 5* even if you can't change the rating the second time. I thought it was an extraordinary story then and I still do. Thank you.

I forgot to ask about this passage:

And it wasn't until late in the night when I finally heard one, I knew. Billy Idol belting out," Dancing with myself".

Was that with or without the rest of his band Generation X??

Simply one of your very best - chapeau !

You manage to create images in my mind so that I experience the story "live"!

I really like your way of writing: everything just "fits" : The characters, the plot, nothing exaggerated, but everything described in detail - just great !

It‘s almost a pitty that I only can give 5/5 Stars … !

We so loved your love story, and we got misty reading through it more than once.

A forever and ever love to the moon and back, or just maybe to Jane forever.

Thank you for sharing.

Second time I have read this in a year. Many more to follow I am sure. Simply beautiful.

Thank you. This was just lovely.

Thank you. I loved it, loved the characters and it made me happy.
