Congratulations on loosing your singlehood.
Wishing you both the best.
Just keep on writing.
The gaol is about the only thing that places this in Australia. I would have liked to hear what happened with the guys, but, as always, I value what was offered!
We were obviously supposed to be rooting for Jennifer, but I, perhaps, have more reason to do so than most, as I am in a situation somewhat like that of her husband's at the start of the story.
I don't have Parkinson's, but I am a hemiplegic, the result of a massive stroke I had a few years ago. I was in a coma for 6-8 weeks, and spent a total of eleven months in Hospital ICUs, CCUs, Physical Rehab Centers (It is "rehab", not "re-hab", by the way - at least it is here in the States), and a Nursing Home before I was discharged home to the tender mercies of my wife (whose name is Susan, not Jennifer). I have lived my life in a motorized wheelchair for the past five years, but I am in our home. I would quite likely have lived the rest of my life slowly vegetating in a nursing home were it not for my Susan, who I love more than life itself

The ending seemed forced and too abrupt. Could have been done better. And what about the guys he had dealings with?
The deal with the fashion designer had abosolutely no respect towards her intellectual property. The designer always has a moral and often legal right over his/her creations, even if they were created while working under an employer. Many companies pay their designer a royalty for their designs. The way you described business is mostly a thing of past, an immoral past.
Sorry, mate, but this isn't nearly as well written as many of your previous submissions. I've read most of them, and have a few favourites that I read again from time to time, but I'm afraid this won't be one of them. Too many spelling mistakes, and a couple of missed words, among other things, gave me the idea that you had thought "I haven't submitted for a while, better cobble something together while I think of it."
I liked the idea, but it just didn't seem to gel this time.
Did not figure it out until the end...enjoyed being led down the path!!!
and one with a different twist...love how he dealt with each woman in turn...and eventually found one to love....just shows how greed drives many people...
interesting story. need to correct an error though. when a mortgage is sold the original terms and conditions still apply. they can't jack up the rates unless the original contract allow for it. 3 stars. sorry not fond of stories that contain inaccuracy's.
