I didn't think it possible that Chap. 2 could be better than Chap. 1 but it looks like I was wrong. Not only is it better but it's also wonderfully written once again.
I hope you have plenty more story in store
I think the subject says it all. Great character development. Great story line. I'll be reading more of your work.
Having read your first part of the story which I thought was superb
then the second wow I must admit I was slightly cynical to start ,
that soon changed to admiration of the story as it came to a most fitting culmination, I for one will be following stories from now on.

Well developed characters and a wonderfully written story. A real heart warmer, especially for those that hunger for a real love of their own!
A very pleasant way to spend a quiet evening!
loved the story... but it could have so easily gone on a few more chapters.... oh well...... am glad you got Miranda involved..... was very sweet....
Enjoyed the entire story, the erotic descriptions were among the best I have read. A few suggestions about why I didn't rate it higher; it was too predictable and everything was too perfect. Yea, there are nice people with lots of money, but Laurie shouldn't have been attracted to Fred enough to marry him, if she was attracted as a soul mate to John. Two totally opposite personalities ... it doesn't happen that way. Someone in an abused relationship takes years or decades to recover and learn from the problem, not days. This story read as a wonderful dream, not very close to reality.
I very much enjoyed the way you blended subplots with "reasonable" sex and attractive descriptions.
Your writing is consistently riveting. Great plot and character development. Love to read your stories.
Wonderful story, just too short. When I find a story this well told, I wish it could be longer.
This story is so well written that I could practically feel the wind during the storm.
I currently live in "Tornado Alley" (Oklahoma) and have lived on the Gulf Coast so I am very familiar with scairy weather.
In the beginnng of your tale it moveed a little bit to quick from my point of view but otherwise a very well written story. Thanks for your contribution. cdn405@yahoo.com
.... but a little to Harlequin Romance/Fairy Tale for me.
Still it was well executed and you tell a good story - just not quite real enough for my tastes; that's just my preferences. I'm sure lots of people found it great and told you so.
Thanks for posting
A lovely story, well written. I felt that there was scope for the scenario before Laurie met John to have been developed.
A super story none the less.
A point apparently missed by some readers was Laurie's baptism by fire to begin her new life. An experience like the burning boat can change a persons life direction on a dime. Excellent followup in the continuing change in Laurie's life.
Your stories are extremely well written. This is your best so far. Thank you for taking the time to share your talents with us.
I really enjoyed your story. Sensitive well written characters. I think, For my My chase anyway, That the sex scenes could have been abbreviated quite a bit And more time given to developing George Amanda has distinct people in the backgrounds of their lives.
Also it seems a little sad that George really came to the end alone.
But again all of that aside you are a wonderful writer and I've enjoyed your stories immensely.
Thank you yet again.
Well done, really liked their relationship. Two damaged people falling in love in one intense week. 5*
