All Comments on 'The Unicorn'

I have read this several times. It makes me cry it makes me laugh. Thank you for your wonderful story. 5*

This is a long, short story.

It is long in words, but so captivating that it’s a short time to read.

Very rewarding to read.

Good story, as many others have said. But I just feel like Jen was too controlling. Jamie was doing more than fine without her in his life, and then she comes in and tells him how to do things. Also felt like the women just took over in general, visiting Jamie and Jen in Jamie's very own house, only to kick him and Melody's husband out.

Anyway, enough criticism, still a good story

This is my third reading of this story and I still find bits of grit in my eye

A brilliant story, my second time around. Still a golden 5/5. I will be reading this again some day soon. Firmly in my favourites.

Thank you qhml1.

I LOVE happy endings!

beautiful

I have gravitated to this author as he/she (no idea) has brought out emotins in me that I enjoy feeling. Another great, well written story. Keep it up please

In my world, this was an outanding story! My sub title for your story is, "An ode to the Irish Rovers".

THANK YOU for sharing

A GOOD STORY THAT WAS RUINED IN THE END BY HAVING THE SKANK DESPERATE TO DO MODELING/PROMOTIONAL ASSIGNMENTS!! SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE STORY

JUST ANOTHER SKANK MODEL AND WEAK CUCK MC

Simply a wonderful story. I loved it !! 5-😊😊😊😊😊

Son rushed to Children's Hospital, epiglotitus. Was placed in medically-induced coma, after coughing out 2 endotracial tubes, to allow body to heal...Waited 5 days wondering how much brain damage he would have once awakened. Thankfully none. DNR- Do Not Resuscitate signs posted outside my child's room- for his room mate... 30+ yrs ago, the last 18 as an EMT, and I still marvel at the strength and mental toughness of those 120# nurses. To the trolls calling out skank and cuc for two future lovers, what story are you reading? She was a successful model, a career where looks are EVERYTHING. Damn easy for success to go to her head and to try to control him. He was raised to be respectful towards all women: The pretty boy who backed down rather than get his good looks 'altered', the overbearing director who wasted far more time berating a bit actress than it would take to just re shoot. And are you forgetting the smack down he laid down on the roofie- rapist wannabees?? and their buddies?? five stars

Actually, I just fucking loved it !! :-)

This story was AWESOME!!! I've read a lot of stories on this forum, and this one quickly rise to the top of my favs. Very well written!!! And for the negative comments... Whatever... Haters gonna hate.

reread for me and just as good. only part I would leave out is the attempted rape scene.

Absolutely loved it.

Great story, shame on you for tearing me up a few times. 😉

I’m finding myself enjoying the “more story, less sex” reads here and this is one of the top for me.

Also, to hell with the trolls and their ripping on your story, seem to be women haters more than anything else.

I really and truly hate your guts! When you started telling us the story of Julie, I was doing okay until you wrote the following:

"Julie passed last night in her sleep. She knew she was going to die and she begged me to ask you something if she did. Her last request in this world was to ask if you'd weave a band of flowers for her to wear to heaven."

You broke me and I cried like a baby. But you didn't end it there...oh NO!!! Then you did a whole funeral scene as a follow up. I just continued bawling my eyes out.

The only bad thing that truly pissed me off was when you put Jaime on probation for rescuing Jen. That should have been all charges dropped or dismissed by the judge. He should never have been convicted for anything. That was totally bullsnot.

Great story 5/5.

This was an easy 5 stars until Jaime had to go to court and get sentenced (probation is a sentence) for rescuing his wife from sexual assault, according to the writer almost being sent to jail for it. I gave it 4 stars.

Good story base but handled in a bad way. For instance, Sandy suddenly acquires a new name: Mary. Fact vs logic: when the vertically challenged lady has her baby, she will NOT be rocking in her new rocker and rub her tummy since the baby is already born. The number of names and characters increases to the point where they become lost in the general population soup. The reader is NOT in your mind and gradually becomes frustrated with the weaknesses on this story instead of enjoying it fully.

No more than 4* due to the weaknesses

I'm with the ScottishTexan; the Julie sections were heartbreakers.

Wonderful; a great way to have spent a chunk of my afternoon and something I read for the sake of reading rather than my usual motives for popping onto this site.

5/5

The story was really good in the first 2/3 but there was too many unbelievable scenarios in the last third.

9 months till the wedding and in that time period he only could make 2 chairs week? With all those orders? Sorry one person can hand make more than 2 rocking chairs a week, also he had 4 months to make a bed room set in between that time. As well as his fiance modeling for a perfume commercial while almost getting raped. Then the trials mysteriously happen in less than 7 months in New York? No way, some body wrote a bunch of stuff and expect the reader to believe it is all possible and I even left out rocking babies and gathering flowers to plant since wedding is in June. Then the director just happen to be a jerk then tried to rape the man's wife. Just too much piled on at the end.

Great story. Loved it. It had suspence, friendships. Sadness (the little girl), love, sex, just a great story.

OK, this is a fairy tale, but it was a nice, sweet, and enjoyable read. Thank you for writing and sharing.

I've read this story many times over the years. It's wonderful to know that true love passes all the boundaries of money, fame and societal expectations. Your character development, the dynamics and flow of the romance is well crafted. Thank you for this gift. Your stories are the ones I always look forward to reading. K

This story is like an old friend. An old friend that I revisit often because I enjoy their company so much.

Most of it especially the first 6 pages, were wonderful, it would have been better to slowly bring it to an end there. However for those wonderful pages which had me happy and tearful, showing that rich people can be ordinary and lovely i gave a well deserved 5 stars

It was worth reading for the second time. Thanks for writing.

truly outstanding. Thank you!

Brilliant. Perfect. Wonderful.

That just about sums it up for me !

Thank You! 5" I love your writing style.

Held my attention from start to finish. A vacation read well worth the time. Thank you.

Yup, third time through and still holds my attention and heartstrings. One of the best reads here.

Indeedy, a fine story, not overly done and not underly done, a reasonable balance. It would have been nice to see what happened when they were both dead and see how much the furniture was worth and that someone was repairing the rockers when needed using his traditional workshop and wood. It would have been nice if he had put some of his security footage out online so people could see some of the spectacular furniture being made and again after they died had it for prosperity of what a fine pair of persons they were.

I thought the story was good definitely readable but there's a problem with stories that have an inevitably about them their boring. Would of been good to introduce tension between her world and his an affluent potential suitor or two etc. But no just this slow glacial inexorable progression to the inevitable like I said BORING.

Beautiful Q. Thanks.

Unbelievable...................................ly good 5

Yeah it’s a fairy tale all right. Joe average paired with supermodel who makes him rich. Finding an actual unicorn would be easier.

I will never understand the mindset of people who read fiction, know it’s fiction, yet expect it to conform to the realities of life. Do these people see the StarWars movies and walk out disappointed because they didn’t seem “real” enough? I mean, why bother even READING fiction, knowing it’s not real. Just so you can bitch about it?! Oh well, off my soapbox. I’m sure those knotheads won’t read this post anyway.

Still my favorite story of yours, Q, So keep on keepin on, please?

It is believable. I've seen beauty with averge a lot in my lifetime. Woman say he doesn't cheat. My problem with the story is in the editing. I am not always sure on the context of a paragraph. The story rambles a lot but it always comes back to the theme. The other thought I had was when I heard the back story on Billy Joel and the song Uptown Girl. It involved 2 supermodels and a gorgeous singer paying him a visit.

Really great love story. Thanks for sharing!

have no romance in their bodies at all

Loved this story, I appreciate your dedication to the art.

Great story. My only quibble is about the "epilogue" - your time skips were somewhat confusing, and disorganized. Other then that, excellent.

Romance really a super high maintenance co dependent narcissist who is also innately selfish and mercenary in her relationships? Yep sounds like love to me 😂😂😂😂

Wonderful character development well paced great story. Thank you.

My second time reading this, just as beautiful and moving as the first time.

Decent story,spoit by flaws,like him teaching her how to cook fish,when she did a cookery course for several weeks in France.

This was one of the best you have done!!

WOW, utterly fantastic.

One of the best I have read!

one of the best I have read!

Made a grown man tear up at times.

Excellent story.

I realised when I finished reading that this was in the Loving Wives section, normally I avoid the catagory like the plague, pure vile drivel, curious why this one is in the category.

I have read this story at least 6 times and it still touches me every time. Very well written!

What an amazing extravaganza of a story! The hooks for me are plenty: construction, wookworking, and frying fish. Nitpic, the flaw wasn't in the story- it was expecting french cuisine and a fish fry to be the same thing.

Thanks Q.

Top Story. Top Writing. Top Author. Top Stars.

Oh yes. Every rich person knows some small town furniture maker who happened to marry a supermodel.

This is entirely ridiculous and unrealistic. If you read it once it comes across and endearing. If you read it a second time it seems less impressive than the first time. By the third time you realize how much you missed the sugary bullshit nonsense. Everything about this is fake and not even remotely recognizable in reality.

Quite frankly, this is extreme over rated. This lacks masculinity. I have always believed that true romance requires balance.

what a great story ,your partner doesnt need to be a super model to find the love of your life or if she is love is blind great great story

excellent story teller and a pretty good writer as well . thank you for sharing your gift

4th time reading, still 10 stars😉

The best I have read so far!

A great read !! a wonderful love story, I guess some folks dont understand the meaning of the word FICTION . The story made me feel good , thank you sir.

Readers aren’t going to like every little thing about the story, but that’s not the point. The point is that the gestalt of the story is a great read & leaves the reader very satisfied that they have taken the time to read it. This was a worthwhile read.

Bill S.

Very heartwarming

Don't know why I didn't leave a comment since I loved this story!

Excellent story

Great story, even though there are some confusing moments, like mixed up names and I didnt saw how mc "did not get along with his mother", but that is minor flaws.

5/5.

Third time around

Still a resounding 5/5

Even at my age (74) and gender (male), it brought a tear to my eye more than once.

Agree with now ready ! I am the same as him 74, male .

Excellent story Very enjoyable to read!

Well here is am… A cold winter night reviewing my favorites. Time to pull up The Unicorn and return back to Jen and her Unicorn for another run through a romance filled with rich real characters that grip and hold you in the very best of ways. Thanks for the memories…

This is a damn masterpiece!

Best damn story on this website!!!

That was truly excellent. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.

Yet another good yarn!

Excellent story.

Great writing, with lots of well-written filler, and a very long story with little plot. Nice fantasy, but ultimately disappointing with a tacked-on ending.

I gotta say this to me is the best story on the website. I love and I've read it probably 12 or 13 times.

Qhml1 sincerely Thank you

Beautiful, just beautiful. Best story I've read on this site by far.

Just knew how the story was going to end, but had fun with all the going ons to get there. Seemed to be some fluff and filler added every once in a while, but other than that, I loved the story.

Q, if I may ... This is, literally, the tenth time I've read this story. You have a gift and I, like an untold number of other hopeful romantics, have committed go memory. Yet still, when my single day off arrives and I want 'that fix', this one of a discrete few, I go to. More please! Finn

It kept me interested to the point that I had a problem stopping reading long enough for a bathroom break. One of the very best that I have read

This is the 4th time I'm reading this story, and IMHO it's the best story on Literotica.

The funeral scene chokes me up every single time I read it.

I must admit, I shed a few tears reading this.

A well crafted beautiful story with believable characters. I will be reading this story many more times in the future.

Steve had asked Jaime to name the first boy Steve if he were to marry her. I see he didn't, with no explanation. JPB. OH. Five stars, well deserved. (Note the mixing up of Bob/Jack's name.)

One of my favorite re-reads, always satisfying.

I loved it. Gave it 5 stars. I was only half way thru when I was telling my wife about it. She seemed interested in what I was telling her about how Steve, and Jaime met by the power plant cooling water intake while Jaime was fishing and Steve ran into him after having car trouble (reminiscing about how they met). Then Jaime calling a tow truck for Steve, so his car wouldn't get damaged, then gave Steve a rid home where he met Jen for the first time. What a lot of people don't realize is that happens almost everyday, and is a common occurrence. Jaime was just helping someone out, and didn't care if Steve had a lot of money, or was broke. He was just doing the helpful thing.

It started off with a bang, well several and moved on from there. It held the readers attention all the way thru, with plenty of details. I especially liked it when Jaime took Jen to the barn the first time, as she didn't know what to expect. And Jaime showed her a great time, and both of them had fun. I too cried at the hospital scenes with little Julie (the cancer kid) and her funeral was touching (more tears). I had a feeling that Jen was going to get attacked (it telegraphed well) while she was in New York, and that Jaime would end up saving her. That's because of how he is.

I really enjoyed the story, and it was a fun read, and like someone else mentioned I too had a hard time stopping to go to the bathroom and later call it a night (stayed up past my bed time). I loved the story, and thank you for sharing it with us.

I’ve reread this story multiple times and each time I’m overwhelmed by reading it. I have to do it in private because I don’t want my wife catching me with tears streaming down my face. The ratings only allow 5 stars but it deserves much more.

Fan-fucking-tastic!! I loved it.

Thank you.

Wow, second reading, better than the first. Great writing! Very touching.

Second reading and still a good story. Love conquers all? Maybe.

This is my second reading, each 18 months apart. A GREAT STORY.

Down to earth, heart warming and, in this cold world, emotionally reaffirming.

[I'm 76 and only have about 18 months left to me in this life. This story, in its heart, is what I have always wanted for Mr. It would have been my one true treasure. Even so, with this story, you gave my heart a small gift, for which I will always be grateful.]

One of the best stories that I have read on this site.

Simply brilliant 6*s

Loved this all the way through…. So many angles that could be taken and so many ways the stories could lie, but this kept my focus all the way through. Heart strings were pulled with the Cancer patient, and even the total story. Good to see good things do happen and can happen to many. Now to find out your other works…. 😎

An excellent story from start to finish.

Absolutely loved it!!!!!

THanks so much
