Not such a slow start but great character building.
I am looking forward to future instalments.

Nice pacing, and description. Please continue the story, and don't worry about the extra time it takes to build the setting and characters...a wonderful start!
Nice to see this hit the Big Time. Great story and I've always loved the characters. I have been on the canals in France, and they are as romantic and peaceful as you portray. Keep writing. Good job.
Some of the juciest, tastiest and most vivid word pictures I've ever enjoyed on this site. Encore!
Wow great debut and you really have talent for Older man/younger woman story. Hope to read more from you. Good job
5 stars. I had vivid pictures of all the scenes you described; although, you first described her boobs as not as big as you described them when she first got naked in the boat. Romantic1 is one of my favorite authors. You went to a good source for advice. You needed at least on more thorough proofreading, preferably by a different pair of eyes. In my experience, when you proof your own work you know what is supposed to come next and you make the same mistake you earlier made.

Can not wait to read part 2.
I'd probably enjoy this story, & more of the series, if not for this:
"So there I was, late the second afternoon, enjoying the beauty of my surroundings, my glass on the table, with my camera in my hands waiting to see if I could any better shots of the Boule players when I caught of a golden haired beauty entered the square."
SEVERAL words missing in that paragraph. I stopped there.
@tnadnuder - this was my first submission, its a pity that because of 3 missing words you couldn't be bothered to read any further.
Your loss not mine
To the rest of you who have commented - thank you all for the words of encouragement, there will be hopefully many more chapters.

Thanks you to all of you who have commented and mailed me over this chapter. Based on your ideas and thoughts, and the realisation I had missed a few important points out of the story line (for petes sake I'd even forgotten to give my main character a surname) I have submitted a revised edition. Please let me know what you think

Well written excellent story! Can't wait to read the rest of the series!!
Chapter one is perfect. I have no problem with a few small mistakes, if the story is good, and this one is! Please keep it up. I am enjoying it immensely!
The phrase "well written" is definitely an understatement! I'm looking forward to reading the additional chapters, just as soon as my heart stops racing.
I'd give your writing 5 cocks up!
Impressive. I'm already locked in. Damn you! Now I'll be spending valuable "spare" time reading instead of other things I need to do. If the rest is as good, I'll enjoy the time.
Is there another La Rochelle? Perhaps it moved from Western France to the South. I haven't been in 30 years
I am 72, for some that's old...for others young , remember it's a number and a state of mind...no matter, am envious of the trust she gives him, and the intimacy. she offers many times. hopefully as they continue, they will come to respect. each other and thus the defintion is complete....will they recognize it then?
I am not sure why you apologized in the header. Your second addition is just superb!
You know the reload time of a 55 year old man is more than 5 minutes right? :)
