All Comments on 'The Hacker'

Can’t stop reading your writing. Excellent again!

Another great story. I love your stories. I would have loved to give you 100 stars every time if I could.

Well I was not satisfied with this story. As normal sex occurred far too fast and then the romance followed far too fast. Convoluted ending. This did not feel like a feel good factor story.

A lovely story!

Another wonderful story with a nice twist to it. Loved it. BardnotBard

You know how when you make cookies you take the perfectly wholesome bread flour and eggs and oil and then you add some natural vanilla bean and some nutmeg and maybe some butter and then you douse all that lousy health food with chocolate and sugar and more butter? You get a little dirty, you feel a little guilty but it smells like heaven and it tastes so sweet?

I... was just asking.

I was kept clueless until the reveal. I liked it that way. The signs were all there just well enough hidden & not so buried that it was a great surprise. Well done. 5 stars 🌟.

Great, again, for the nth time!

How do you keep getting me so intrigued with your stories? These big smiles are painful!

A real life lesson... don't sign any forms for doctors or hospitals that indicate you are financially responsible. They cannot refuse treatment especially if the patient has insurance. As a spouse you have no responsibility for "unsecured debt", they can hound you but are never able to collect. Same for credit cards... if you're not the primary... you're not responsible.

This is straight from my attorney's mouth as I just redid my will after getting remarried.

Another fun story from my favorite writer. 5 Stars

She was about as dense as I am. I don't pick up on clues given by woman. I need words to explain things. 3rd reading for me and still quite the story. Good thing her friend didn't have such a questioing mind. Cinderella stories are fun.

The story was brilliant, the ending felt rushed. The whole get together and reconciliation was a couple of paragraphs.

Great original story, well told.

This is a modern day fairy tale- a rich, handsome neighbor pays off a woman’s medical bills after the death of her husband. I need one of those. My husband’s life insurance is nowhere near enough to pay off our debts. I have 3 kids, including one with severe disabilities. My neighbors on both sides are crabby old people who complain about the state of my lawn.

Nice story

Happy ending happy reader ...... The reward for all main characters was well deserved ...... That's insurance companies are for, taking your money while life is on the sunny side and kicking your ass because off small letter paragraphs or forgotten check boxes or one wrong number or else ..... Have been one lucky one too, with a nice faceslap ...... Great tale

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🍀

Another great story!

A different story, i enjoyed the happy ending.

This was most intriguing. From the forlorn widow/ mother to the strickened and crossed lover/mother to the magical marriage to her daughter's biologival father. Wonderful build up to the denomoue. Great characters.

I hate absolutely hate widow stories.

Mrs Henderson is a stupid character, right from the onset

Top notch, as always. Thanks for sharing your talent!

U are one hell of a writer? 👏👏👏👏

a real tearjerker, thanks for a happy story

Ender2k2k - Please see Caedyn's comment on The Cotillion from around 3 months ago regarding the writer.

It is so sad that you have stopped posting your wonderful stories. I understand your reasons but wish there was a way to find out where they are going. You are a wonderful writer and I wish you well.

A fun and heart warming story when mama woke up and realized what a mistaken assumption she had made.

And to the two english critics in the comments section, it's easy to criticize and find fault, that's why everyone does it. Besides that I pretty much got D's in english thru high school so it doesn't bothe me in the slightest, it's darn good story, by golly!

we mis you

Enjoyed the story. As usual, a great plot. BTW, he didn't come across "a dearth of unpaid bills", (which means a lack or shortage of unpaid bills); but came across "a plethora of unpaid bills". Much better, "a pile of unpaid bills."Nitpicking? Yeah. Just sayin'. : )

“My tummy could use a little less desert. “

She could probably use a little more desert and a little less dessert. LMAO. It’s the only grammatical error I found in your enjoyable story.

Another DreamCloud gem. Hats off to you, sir.

Having read all but 1 of your stories now, I'm reluctant to read the final one, cos then there's no more, and then what do I do?

Thankyou for your words. I'm still wiping away tears, unsure if they're sad or happy ones, both have flowed freely as my heart was broken and warmed again and again.

Thankyou xx

DreamCloud,

You have a wonderful mind.

And again, I didn't see that plot twist coming.

And again, thank you.

Steve Scott.

Another wonderful, amazing, heart warming story.

I am sorry and sad that someone stole your stories. You have tremendous talent.

I hope you have continued to write!

Another second or third read, and wondrous romantic story with a twist and sadness the happy again. You and your editor are doing very well, keep it up!

What a great story, a widow and widower find true love because the widower was actually the biological father of the widows daughter. What a twist at the end with a happily ever after.

Well Done 5++ Stars

Amazing read - 5 Stars! I had read before but totally forgot the ending! I like to read the offerings again after couple years! Great work DreamCloud, keep them coming!

BR Cajun Guy

Great stuff!

Those couple of twists at the end were genius. Superb writing. 5 stars.

still good and more tears, never, never jump to conclusions! very good writing

All of your stories are so well written.....they hook me in and I am always amazed.

I guess I’ll just have to read the story.

You have me hooked. You should get a publisher !

Enough said

I have been reading sing mid 60s, this writer has some of the best writing skills around. Amazon has self publishing on ebooks, you should go for it.

I would desire to bring all my training TO THAT SORRY BASTARDS FACE, RAPIDLY AND WITH MALACE !! At least I hope you continue with your great stories, if not here, somewhere. You have a great skill for capturing the readers.

Thank you.

I love your stories, please write more, I finished this one, and actually wasn't late for work. Bless you!

even though legality may differ/ TK U MLJ LV NV

A seriously talented author, I'd love to know what other names you use and if your work is published.

Very annoying that some thief ensured that you have stopped posting here!

Somebody was looking for this story and someone else posted the link to it. So glad they did! Really good story!

Please keep writing them. My concentration span is not that long any more. Besides which your longer ones are also fantastic. I have learned to ignore the to,

two, too, mistakes that everyone makes, since they don't really teach English in the schools like they did when I went (I'm 85). But I enjoy your ( not you're or yore) stories tremendously. Thank you again. / Just J.

It wasn't a tear jerker like " Rehab " or " The Promise " but was an excellent read all the way through .

How is it that you can talk to my heart,and pull the strings,I've let no else even come close to,.. much more i'd like to say but it's time for bed , so says the wife. Thank you again R.W.

You come up with the most amazing - and loving - plots.

Please keep writing for us.

but... If you don't mind me saying so, there's a glaring error on the first page.

"Right of passage" should of course be "rite of passage"

In case you write more stories, "baited breath" should be "bated breath", from breath abated.

In the English House of Commons the members don't shout "here, here!", but "hear, hear!" as in "listen up, yo!".

Thank you very much for your stories. I am enjoying them immensely.

From Merriam-Webster (online)

Definition of swoon

intransitive verb

1 a : faint

b : to become enraptured, swooning with joy

2 : droop, fade

noun

swooner

adverb

swooningly

The colloquial usage of "swoon" has expanded to include the feeling of disorientation caused by acute infatuation. The usage is metaphorical rather than literal. I don't know if it's in Webster (too lazy to check), but it is in common use in my experience. <3

"Swoon" means faint, and she wasn't lying on the floor unconscious.

loved how it unfolded and the interaction between the three of them....loved it...a tale of romance...protedting his own and true love....just magical

So often the only textures in stories on this site are purely physical: smooth,silky, firm, moist; and the only depth is that of penetration. Yours feature textures of personality and setting and depth of plot and character. As a fan of Jeff Deaver I can appreciate how the occasional sharp left turn or zigzag can suddenly make the story make sense. As I have commented before, good fiction is good fiction, regardless of genre. Keep 'em comin' (double entendre fully intentional)!

Your stories are great and made me curious. Your profile brings up questions. How much time have you spent talking to women to so accurately convey their feelings and thoughts?

You are really good at this. Thank you

Once again you have produced a wonderful tale. Now to go back through your submissions to find another gem!

I absolutely loved this story. Please keep writing, I love your stories!!!

Dont know how many times i have read it.. Lost count

It's hard to add anything to all the other comments on this story. 5* hardly says it. I guess I'll just leave it at that and get back to your list to find another. I find it difficult when I can't live up to my handle, but I'll suffer with that.

Please excuse the use of the same old superlative in describing this totally unique and absorbing little story as have applied it to all your stories so far read. Can only repeat again the hope that you enjoy your writing as much as your readers enjoy your works -- and plea for you to keep them flowing to us.

Truly, how do you do it ???. Constantly delivering ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stories one after another after another, truly amazing..Romance category, for me, you hold that title there's NO one better..

I have read several of your stories and I am baffled. How is it possible for you to write such consistently great stories? Please don't stop!

Keep on keeping on...

kansasjack01@gmail.com

Stunning story, absolutely different than others from this author.

I can`t wait to read the next chapter.

5* for you!

Interesting plot, unsuspected ending, great characters, nice length for the plot, what can I not like.

Great work.

Didn't see that donor saga coming at all. I thought the guy was faking being a billionaire and hacked for a living

Really enjoyed it.

...I blubbered like a baby at the end of all three of them!

Love romance stories!

Now I'm going to go be with my real life romantic hubby!

I can tell ya, sex will be great tonight (big grin)!

Thanks! Cheers!

I'll be back to read more next Sunday : )

I'm a freak of nature: I'm female and I hate to shop, chic flicks, and romance stories. But I loved this one.

love it! one of your best works

You should bind them, sell them and be rich!

You really jerked me around with this one.

I'm a 69 year old man. I've been reading fiction since I was 5 or 6. Why can't I stop reading your stories? Huh? Why?

All right, now don't get me wrong... I'm a guy... I don't go in for sappy romance...

So... Why can't I let single one of your stories pass?? I've read the all, some of them twice...

I'm not a romance type of guy! What the hell are you doing to me!!!

"OK, so you can build a decent plot and I'm interested in your characters and when I read plot twists, while they ARE twists, they don't feel like they're coming from so far out of left field that they're from a whole other stadium (which can make me a hate a writer with a passion) and you've written sex scenes that are more appealing and more of a turn-on than some other writer's graphic sex scenes..."

And, "Oh yeah, do I really even need to mention the romance and how sometimes you break our hearts in a way that makes us willing to not only read more of your stories knowing we're risking more of the same but even willing to reread the SAME story knowing that '... this way heartache lies'...?"

So, what's my point...? Oh, I got no point... Just thought I'd mention all of that...

'cuz, you know, "I love your stories..."

You have done it again. This is the best yet.

Ed Grocott

I'm making my way through your stories. This one was incredible. Thank you for your work!

Because if you do, all of that work will get pushed to the side as you enjoy every twist and turn until you come to the very nice ending.

Wonderfully human and imaginative - Heartwarming and beautiful!

Thanks

You are one gifted writer. You write some of the best romance stories on this site. The twists and turns in this one had me going. This story had me rooting for the lady and her daughter from the get-go. If I want to read a romance story I now know where to go...DreamCloud. Thank you for your writing and your stories.

in this well-developed plot. It didn't turn out as I expected--in fact, it turned out far better. DreamCloud, you have wonderful writing skills--I wish mine were just half as good.

Great story!

That was very good...

this was a struggle to write something

I do like to read the Cheating Wife gets her punishment stories, most likely because I had a cheating wife myself and identify with the husband. However, The Hacker is not a cheating wife story but a wonderful "feel good," happy ending, well written read.

Keep it up DreamCloud. I'm looking forward to your next submission.

again.

Just love the way you weave these webs of pleasing prose...the way you twist and turn the entertainment...have enjoyed every one of your stories!!!!!!!!

I completely love how your stories twist and turn. Keeps one on there toes!

so, rather than hem around, I will just say it,

"I skillfully skirted the issue."

together with the final paragraph,

made for a fitting ending

This was the second time I read The Hacker, and have read and re-read several others. You are a great writer and can put words into action, realism to into fiction. Especially in this story. Keep up the good (great) work!!

There are some stories which once you start, you have to see the end of it. This is one of such stories and, I am yet to read your other stories. I am a reader from India and our perspective differs from yours. The reason I say this is because of undue unfavorable comments Indian writers tend to get from the readers at large. While admitting many drawbacks in their efforts, the change of perspective could also be a reason. High quality stories generally overcome this weakness and yours is one of them.

I love your writing. You have a style that allows the reader to become completely immersed in your stories. As I look at your collective works your scores tell me that I'm not the only one that feels this way. "Thank you for the entertainment" seems inadequate. Maybe, thank you for the experience would be more accurate. You are a truly gifted writer.

You have a gift of storytelling and a deft hand with conflict. Well done, in all your stories.

I posted The Festival on Sunday 5/31. It should be live by Tuesday, if all goes well on the Lit end. I am working on a lot of other stories. I really want to finish The Cotillion, but it just isn't right. It needs a better motivation at the start - without it, it will be as cheesy as the tale it is based on. I started The Runner and am about 10k in. It is very different than my other stories. Not sure if anyone here will like it, but that won't stop me from posting it. Crazy premise.

I read every one of the comments I receive. Every time I lose confidence in my writing, someone posts something that helps me find it again. You have my never ending appreciation.
